Sexuality marooned jellybean pilfered spigot refugees vomit hazelnut in some static plain cloud cupboard.
A stifled hexed harvest, suffer the stagnant taffy contraception,
Oxidized gut-string lyre feeble mast crippled rod.
Shall you be parallel on the naked stem on the shrunken pagan altar?
Penguin whale jackal follicle carriage orgies
I have the cavernous trunk of thirst,
Permanently altered, famines, droughts.
Loosen your sticky grasp upon an evening so slutty bean Venus squaw chubby stone figurines
languid horny speed gutter bunnies.
let down cord straps drop fiddles kneel whip cable ties.
Snickering geriatric hags cupcake outskirts of one
Platypus settlement

appears a Roman goddess
halo affects adorn as spears on a diadem
Her torch enlightens the world
flames are gilded in 24K gold
reflecting the sun's rays, looming She is not
for the floodlights illumine night’s darkest hours
the French had created Her
Americans built Her a concrete pillar
the old raised funds as the young saved their pennies
grounded granite pedestal protects from blue bolt strikes
disassembled in toto scattered and strewn She was
93m in height
neoclassic colossal copper sculpture
oxidized to muted green an outer patina
broken chains at Her feet breaking free from tyranny and servitude
typifies a democratic government
She faces southeast welcoming all arrivals transversing the sea
France gifted Americans, brothers of liberty
against sepia skies, streaked layers, cream colored clouds
a silhouette stands on Liberty Island

Luminous miscellaneous adorn my crown,
Frills and strawberries,
Thorny circlet dusted with a light layer of twinkle,
As my eyes hysteric with confusion
muse on this loss.
I gather the lumps of loaf
crossing the border of light
toddling and traversing through the hues
of bent butter beauties
drooping into the worn old stone
one foot forward of the other
two stayed peering past
my grandfather built all this.
silver lick of hair stuck to his brow
that little rhythm in his hands
trembling like the trickles of water
heaved, trodden, beat and brandished
by the river rover.
oxidized poles decorated with patched quilts and marked clothes
trodden through top soil
of the hearth of the earth
will i even sense this again?
this burrowing thing inside of me
borrowed from ages long past their prime
will i too become another fleck on the sun scorched sill ?

Inverted into berth
back to the coast
braced by a breeze
with hurricane fury
we cluster in the crevices
stroll on shattered shards
return to the abyssal realm
at last able to sail free.
The fog is currently lifting
we're floating out to sea
utters crow cries on its perch
will assist us in steer
astride of a mermaid
out in turbulent seas
calling me constantly
once again at home.
Wood composes my limb
my body has aged
ages oxidized the skin
sailing by themselves
carry me, carry me
from water that freezes
return to my family
shielded from the ocean.
Lay down my body
cover me with satin
lost their zenith
with the azure, rolling sea
perform each step again
conjure me back to my bed
once again, at home
to at last find peace.

In a glass or in a cup,
Many a people like to drink me up.
Rather I'm hot or cold,
My flavors and aromas never grow old.
I've come a long way from where I begun,
Let's take a look and see how I'm done.
I come from a tiny, little seed,
Acidic soil and plenty of rainfall is what I need.
It takes me about three years to grow,
Being a Camellia sinensis plant is all I know.
Me and the other leaves are plucked by hand,
And taken to the Tea Master on command.
We are inspected, sorted, and weighed,
Then onto the tea factory where I am made.
I can be dried, oxidized, fired and shaped, or withered and rolled,
The process of making me is centuries old.
So next time you sit down and enjoy a cup or glass of me,
You will know my story, and how I came to be.

Waiting at the window
In the upper floor red brick
Through glaze oxidized opaquely
With grime that has grown thick
From eary day she
arrives at post
The arc begun at easternmost
She watches the light progress
At noon she dines a simple meal
that to her holds no real appeal
Around she moves it on her plate
And soon is quite the mess
Throughout her vigil ever she crept
This guardianess
Who seldom slept
Yet dreams of his return a dream to her heart she's kept

Oceanic octopus south of the border
Eight elongated tentacles in a ripe order
An organic obstacle to outrageous pirate queens.
Housing grizzly omnivores and oily other things.
Overwhelmingly ostentatious in the oceanic sea.
Oxymorons galore; floating in Earl Gray’s English tea.
Brown oxidized treasure chests gliding in the water.
Oriental spaceships spelling out watch out daughter.

My sacrifices aren’t enough I still can’t win, every victory is somehow a loss in the end, I gave my heart to keep my friend, but I still keep bending, how much longer till I break, I feel like there’s always something at stake, when will I get a break? Just a chance to rest, forget about all the rest, be myself, and not be put to the test. I gotta see it for what it is I guess, I’m just another body, one of many, my heart used to be worth a pretty penny, but no longer, it’s been soaked in pain, and now it’s just oxidized copper.

Obsession
Obsession with "O's"
Oh, obsession’s obfuscating oligarchy
Oceans of oblivion
Outrage in ostentatious obsession
Overrun in hurricanes named obdurate and obstinate
Overtures of oxidized compulsive orchestration in
Obbligatos overflowing obituaries -
Overbearing octaves of the obsequious –
Orations of overt objections
Objectivity overpopulated by opportunistic obtuse –
Obsession outweighing optimist’s objectives –
Openness offspring overrun by
Ominous hunters of sweet oblations ordained
Oscillating between logic and obsession unchallenged
Orthodoxy obscures opportunity
Officially ostracizes open-mindedness –
Original the outsider - occupied the outlier -
Observes only obstructive operations
Obedience to the one-track offertory
Of overstocked outdated ordinances,
Offshoots of outmoded operatic ornaments
Odious opium overdose of the obscene
Onyx odors overpowering odes
Offered on the altar of originality -
Obliterating oligarchy of obsession

Her eyes are burning, fire is coming out of her face
flashing and roaring and become vas of power immense
her hair is flying high and her voice has become unruly
high of her feet become frenetic to kill the snake, Ruthlessly.
As a wife she is gentle but never weak in strength in stature
today she is seeking her revenge after enduring severe torture.
The earth trembled with her roar and the power creates storm with thunder
the supreme power has got up to destruction ; once tho, was so tender
she was almost dead when she was swaying in confusion
in the way to peace with her utmost sympathy and compassion.
In return, she gained the poison in his call
not only in soul and mind but attack in corporal.
Day by day her heart decays ; oxidized at instant
so, she is furious to kill the snake the cause that repent. (To be continued)

The Shaman
Corrosion in your soul has oxidized
to heal your poor soul you must be revised
confused and sadly addled with each thought
your deep sleep paranoia must be caught
attach your past of love and forlorn woe
you cuddled each one to go with the flow
I wil contort your mind to overcome
where surprise is joy and sadness is numb
align to your path and join them as one
delete subconcious dreams of no avail
and stamp your God’s gift to you with my seal
My signature is fraught to rend your fears
for all the ills you suffered oe’r the years
to offer divination of your cares
