Moist — the stone beneath my hand,
Unyielding -- cold, unmoved—
It bites my fingers -- bites my mind --
Yet -- roots me to the truth --
Hard—the wind against my chest,
It shoves and twists My -- breath --
Till lungs -- Beneath -- and Break --
And heart beats -- hammer death --
Deep—the river of the night --
It drags my soul -- Below --
Where light -- dissolves in endless dark --
And whispers what I -- know --
Deep — the silence Nought but Screams --
It presses -- on my skull --
Till every thought is drowned --- in hope --
When it never seems -- enough --
Hard and deep -- it's never gone --
The world’s sharp weight -- I keep --
But It fractures -- deep --
lnto the bones --
I find a Pulse— quite Deep -- inside my Brain --
Success and Happiness—walk Together --
Along the pale Moon’s seam—
Where Love -- slips Softly through the Leaves --
And teaches -- Night to dream --
They pause -- beside the patient Trees --
In cloaks of -- breathing Green --
And listen -- where the Rivers keep --
Their silver -- Tongues unseen --
The Mountains lift -- their blue Replies --
To Skies -- that Never fall --
While Cows give up -- their morning Stars --
In pails -- along the Walls --
A Salamander — Wet with Dusk—
Writes fire - upon the Mud --
And banks grow dark -- with drinking moss --
That knows the -- name of flood's --
So walk with them—bare-footed still—
Through water -- leaf and air--
For Happiness Is -- finding Home --
Where Earth -- has Learned your Name --
Saying:
The Pulsation
Of Nausea...
Is Enough
To Make It
Worse.
with the mere touch of green grass
a surging river of consumption started flowing in the body,
the dark clouds of despair remained stuck in the sky
the shower of pink period started moistening the air of my roof...
It's not every morning where the juice's flow
from every where.
Where even green leaves
shouldn't be freed from the tree.
Here where the white sticky sap
ran the length of the tree.
A thickness to the air
moist air, being sucked in and out by
laboring lungs once stout.
These are the morning where noon
stands still
and what is thinly worn sticks
to the once thick bark.
Mushrooms try to poke up past their
broken backs
strangely flat misshapen heads
their moist yet strangely still.
Pale moonlight where around one green bush
the moon moves up the hill.
Flickering light of
chandelier dims,
timid blinks
become audacious,
fragrant whispers
intermingle in crevices,
fingers orchestrate
enchanting invites,
blazing a mystic
smoke that escapes,
vents of love
in raging storms
of night,
to envelope mists
of hushed union,
beads of Aurora
sparkle at dawn

A moist berry was all I could think about.
That burst to wet my tongue.
A quenching I could drain away
for comfort that would numb.
That soul surrounding other berries
who's bowl would make them one.
Where every spoon dividing them
would make a bath undone.
And dampen all my spirits bound
for hunger that was lost.
To honor me with kisses
from a spirit now with cost.
That every bite now taken
meant a pleasure for my loss.
Meaning every cost worth making
was a work I'd do for gloss.
Imagine a beginning of a warm moist feeling...
That builds and builds until your mind is reeling…
Inside a euphoric pleasure when losing control…
On top of a satisfaction that does not slow…
In the warm moist dew of the morning…
Comfort and good feelings do arise…
To keep your thoughts from churning…
Embrace the pleasure when you rise…
Rich roaring rain
Plough pretty plain
Mind morning mimes
Reap rapture’s rhymes
Feel festive flair
Art ample air
Join jazzy jet
Sign simple set
Bright balloons boom
Zap zesty zoom
Grand gracious grooves
Meet misty moves
Dance dewy dreams
Such sensuous streams
Lift laughter loud
Prize precious proud
Cheer cloisters choice
Ply poignant poise
Taste telling times
Meet moving mimes
Set sight seeing
Meet moist morning

This morning the dew crept into my bed
Soaked, I smile uncontrollably
The smell of femininity struck my senses so,
Sunrise, woke up the sleeping giant
"Another Fine Moist"
Underground with the worms?
It's another fine moist
You've gotten me in, Stanley.
N'est-ce pas?
"The night was moist," wrote Billy Crystal,
As the writers-blocked scrivener in
"Throw Mama from the Train."
You run into many old friends, here.
Here in the slime is where I'm at.
Let me show you where it's at.
And that's a fact, Jack.
My ROM brain is prewired,
Yet subvocal mnemonics filter thru,
A RAM cache, stored for future amusement,
But crossing over now, randomly.
The pensiveness of the sky
is broken by the cry of a crow,
by trees distilling intimacy
and moist, vibrant expectancy.
Violets, ferns, and birches
share life-giving vapors.
The chalk-bleak horizon
and pungent, poignant odors
whisper sonorous secrets.
The visitor is enveloped
in this pithy, soulful world,
all cells saturated
with a suggestive sustenance.
There's a place where men love to go
To explore dark moist caves
The deepest, moistest caves known to man
A most favourite spot they crave
If you're not in shape it can make ya sweat
But how amazing to succumb
Deep in the heart of these dark moist caves
You must try it you really must come
If your mind's down in the gutter my friends
Wasn't talking about sex you see
Had ya fooled, was talking about travel
To the Lost Sea Exhibit, Tennessee!
