ash in the mouth
You speak of vows like broken tools, iron bent, still hot in the hand; seeing the feast tipped into a gutter, and name each grain of choice. Dogs sniff at what was once a meal, grass bows away from the teeth. The wind carries scents you do not forgive. There is a field where promises rot- fruit collapsing inward, sweetness leaking into...

My heart still hangs in my mouth
its whimper sounds like a whisper, it slips as it slithers away the loud fear it left on my mind still spins my spine i run, forgetting my heart is still hanging in my mouth~ it pounds like a tornado blowing through my veins the ricochets of its anger shudder even my tiniest nerves our nights and days will never...

A five-year old precocious daughter asked her daddy where rabbits lived. To impress her, he straightway said: “In the ground in borrows, love.” The little girl looked puzzled. “Are you sure,” she said, “or is this just another adult fabrication like Santa Clause or the birth stork?” Dumbfounded by her response and eager to recover from his embarrassment,...

Dryness is such in me I cannot speak,  articulate my thoughts, desires, tongue-tied I am, and in your presence, a poor, weak servant, who, in asking, has no self-pride. Your parted ruby lips, while mine are dry, in contrast, glisten with overt desire; a tongue across them means I will comply? To deny, would turn me to a liar. And should the hair...

in the mouth of desire, inverted spires lean toward the grots of Hell. tongues forked, skewered with sapphires in the mouth of desire, inverted spires. Adam's apple burning cores, as moths for martyrdom's fires. on the path to perdition: many had attended well. in the mouth of desire, manipulation stirs. the crone fanning her cauldron a hot vat of ruin, Wiccan...

In The Mouth of Desire
Plump cherries sit atop twin mounds and a sly smile hovers around her ripe strawberry lips, Sweat, like honey, titillatingly rolls in rivulets down her lithe and luscious torso to an oasis, moist and luxuriant. From the hilltop region down to an enchanting sanctuary lies a pulsating plateau, sizzling like bacon in a frying pan, stirring my latent passion to a feverish...

Mouth
I’ve grown a mouth that’s so, sharp. Cruel. When anyone gets near, I bite with my quick words. Leaving nothing but a scar. It’s all I can give you. And when you come, And steal a kiss, My teeth, will only cut your lips. And I wanted to so bad, But it seems, I only break pretty things. I know you meant well, but I’m not a...

The summer heat was turned up to blasting with a huge yellow sun looking down. Our sweat had sweat. If only there was a breeze to pass over us. In the mouth of desire sits July. A young couple is about to be wed. The groom all decked out in his black suit. The bride...

Premium Member What the Mouth Remembers
You stood like dusk before me, quiet and burning at the edges. I knelt, not to worship — but to listen to the storm beneath your stillness. And later, when you opened like evening — petal by pulse, I came not to take but to taste what you trust. My lips learned your language one slow syllable at a time, your breath catching like candlelight in a room...
