Let me peel pomegranate for you forever

I want to love you, untill my heart stops pumping, until my hands tremble but still find the strength to peel a pomegranate just for you. I want to love you until the last of my teeth stands defiant against time, until my eyes grow dim yet still search for you in every fading light.

I want to peel his skin back, and eat it like the meat of a grape

In the cool light,
I want to peel his skin back
And eat it like the meat of a grape

In the heat summer,
I’m painted, red as Cardinal
And stuffed full of Sparrow’s ecstasy

At the summit of hysteria
He holds me by the sinew
And bends it till I break

Numb on the skin’s landing -
Head had me like a dog
Trodden on

Appeal to a Peel

The bite was a crunch.
So wonderful!
One's teeth could do that kind of thing.

Some later bites, performed with age,
cause pain, so awful, so dreadful!
One's bites can do that kind of thing.

But what was peel,
that part of the crunch and the munch?
Peeled off now, and thrown away.

Yet apples remain apples,
taste remains taste.
What is this thing called ever?

Peel Away My Layers

Keep peeling away my layers, my dear,
Unveil the depths beneath my soul,
But accept me, hug me,
In the rawness of my existence,
Not through the lens of your desires,
For I am more than your projections,
More than the mirror of your expectations.

Within this fragile body I reside,
A tempest brews in the chambers of my heart,
Thunder echoes, pulsating with

Banana Peel- Virelai

Felt under my heel
A banana peel
I slip
Loudly now I squeal
Like a clapping seal
I flip
A mid air cartwheel
Now terror I feel 
I yip!

Need to get a grip
Sweat beads off me drip
Oh boy.
I bend at the hip
My feet now I grip
No joy
I brace, bite my lip
And land from this trip
Not coy

Was this evil ploy?
A cartoon decoy?
With zeal!

Peeled Skin Poem

UV rays soak into my skin,
                          browning it slightly
                     

Cletus O'Toole Slips On a Banana Peel

Cletus O'Toole slipped on a 'nana peel

   He broke his femur and damaged his heel

      He asked a judge to rule

         "You lost yer suit, O'Toole;

Time Standing Still

time is standing still
this treacherous silence makes me ill
my dreams are bleeding visions from the master of divisions
if i knelt I'm slave risen a slave knight
give me back my might this ain't divine this unfair fight
nukes and a fear that pukes
once  the nobility sucks the last drop of our gullibility
oh i believe
oh i believe
but

A Yellow Lemon Peel

When life gives you lemons
You're supposed to make lemonade
However,
My lemonade always tastes too watery
So I squeeze and squeeze the lemons
I wring them out until there's nothing left
Except for the yellow peel
Taunting me with it's "happy" color
I take a sip,
And cringe
Because now,
It is too sour

Music To Peel Grapes By

music to peel grapes by

alone and drowsy 
after the storm
thunder has melted 
away over the bay
lights are low and soft
melancholy serenade drifts 
sensuously through the room

that is when they appear
swirling about me 
in their full cocktail dresses
sparkling as Christmas
a mixture of expensive perfume
wafts  by I feel the air move
Jackie’s music plays with my heart.

Slipped On a Peel

None noticed it—good! 
When I slipped on a peel pssht…
Picked up and walked on!

Fruit a Peel

https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/fruit-a-peel-2

Blueberries, bananas, apples that fall
Berries and pears, we love them all
Fresh rainwater, summer heat
The part of plants that we can eat

Inside the fruit, contains the seeds
Found on bushes, grown on trees
Tomato plants, of heights will rise
With soil and compost, fertilise

Seeds we scatter, seeds we sow
All around the world they grow
Celebrate at food events
Cities, countries, continents
