Motion was detected,
it was eclectic
Salivated dropping
Rain cloud topping.
Mirratic scale
Lunged, lungs inhale
What do I avail,?
Misquoted.
Abort it
Consensual
Sensational

Duration provocation
Lulafied
MISCUED LULLABY?

I just saw a pizza ad
the crust was golden brown
the cheese was gooey, pulled away nicely
red and green peppers looked fresh
I know it was a great ad
because I salivated while I watched it
and I do not like cheese
or pizza
reading a menu in a restaurant used to be a pleasure
relaxing, while my tongue salivated at the tasty choices
today the reading of the menu was not so lovely
signature skillet twenty-one hundred calories
cobb salad twelve hundred and eighty calories
potato chip seventy calories
I have been watching my weight at home
but eating out is a treat; I have not done it for a long time
I guess after eating this nine-hundred calorie cheeseburger
I will try to waddle out of here and watch my weight go up
my mouth salivated upon sight of the delectable cream puff
I could almost taste the frothy sweet fillings and the flaky crusts
let us be alone I told the rest of them picking up a spoon
EyE KISS
Just a hint your scent
Sets of your essence
Thoroughly bliss
Embrace I enclose
for sweet salivated lips
I ingest your aroma
Emmmm!! smacks!
I kiss ??

Victory and defeat
have the same end -
they pass away.
Bitterness dissolves
as does the sweet taste
salivated in a triumphant win.
Joy shares the same mystery
with suffering when
confronted by a why.
Civilizations come and go -
kings, queens and politicians
become powder in the crevices
of time. Be kind -
all is a brief dream
playing out in the eternal
slumbers of the Divine.
My tummy rebelled today
Saying, 'No more dessert; no way'
My eyes bugged out
My tongue salivated
Hours of frustration awaited ...
beside the dirty wall there was a shadow,
the signs painted by some graffiti artist
made even less sense in the dark.
lying on the damp floor was the skinny dog.
stare into my bird's eye.
it seemed to say get out,
this hell is mine alone.
so I threw a piece of bread
that I had in my beak.
he salivated and snapped.
the next step was a caress with my wing.
was conquered.
so we made this kind of alliance.
now he follows me around town.
two savages without destiny.
but soon we will be three,
for the skittish cat meowed at us.
sure we will form legion,
let's occupy that hole in the hill,
coming down when hunger strikes,
then we will attack all the buffets,
scandalize the bourgeois,
co-opt the cockatiels,
the turtles and the badgers,
time to attack in pack,
this land will be ours again.
Tasty newcomer, taco pizza is found only one place in our town
Once discovered, many of our teenagers ran there on Friday nights
Their tag-along-younger-brothers-and-sisters watched the cooks
Through a pass through window, which had them exaggerating efforts
We could smell them before they came out of the oven
Golden brown and piping hot. The cooks sprinkled them with cheeses,
And bits of freshly cut lettuce, tomatoes, and we salivated, waiting
Like dogs who had not been fed from Monday to Thursday
Our town is small; we were lucky to get one pizza parlor; we had two.
They both closed their doors, because the teens stopped going
They could not compete with the prizes at the gas station,
Which was also the only place we could purchase a taco pizza.
First I saw you from afar;
My eyes burnt from your beauty;
Your imaged blazon like a star;
Within the blacken sight I choose thee;
You stood out so bless;
My heart beaten fast;
My eyes dilated;
My mouth salivated;
So a sweet chocolate delight;
Such a warm and sweet sugar you could be my wife;
Your love, lovely love, ooh oom I could just taste it!

"Stop! I come before you in earnest heed
I stand before you assault I plead
I have forgiven you for your misdeeds
You are, I am, we are freed,
~Go before those who hate
Those pontus ones who think they looks great
You're selfish you abolish
You are, I am, we are free"
...And all I wanna be
Is in your grace
No longer slapped in the face
~Nay sayers
Keep your salivated spit in your mouth
Hypocrite
You are, I am, we are freed"

There was a sheriff, mayor, and Marshall.
Lots of saloons, pleasure rooms, and corrals.
Ladies of ill repute, and coward men
who feared the dreadful 'Cowboys' back then.
Lots of gambling, plenty of alcohol.
This western town had live stage-shows for all.
Tombstone had it all except a pastor.
I became the pastor who brought order.
I, Pastor Paul, prevented a gunfight.
Violence never made anything right. Tombstone was not a place to raise a child
in that ragging territory gone wild.
Dreams of fortune salivated the air.
With selfless ideas, I came to share.

By God Trump Was Called
By God Trump for President was called;
God would put it off and surely stalled;
Same old story;
Incriminatory;
With Trump's hot sins we were scalded.
Could tell by Trump's tempestious style;
For him wanted to make us walk a mile;
Trump a tortoise,
With rigor mortis;
For a camel who he did want to defile.
We were baffled by Trump's many blunders;
Born with bone spurs never 90 day wonders;
Food at commisary,
Did cause dysentary;
He caused terrible spells we had been under.
With Trump's health he had a horrible time;
He had created missing links in each chime;
Me release,
From police;
Committed crime when his ladder did climb.
Problems with Trump could be contributed,
To shady deals and not equally distributed;
So had salivated,
While we waited;
Nothing at all to church had he contributed.
Now that we are perturbed and preplexed,
What do you think Trump tried to do next;
Lack of full deck;
Complete wreck;
With him as President became very vexed.

Thirst Highly Elevated With Others
My thirst had become highly elevated;
Flow ceased and I no longer salivated;
Oh why not;
Thirst got caught;
Drank case of coke God for me created.
Will be preying for Charleston train
collision survirors.

where is my common denominator
vindicated solemn alma mater
the isolator reason is confiscated
coming on something major
disbursed and allocated
validated the troubles are agitated
violated im humble yet amputated
partly i waited, my terror was salivated
complicated paired efficiency allocative
my dreaming is killing me rot
screaming and thinking of stop
its hurting believe it or not
scorpions relieving the spot
what am I
pushing a heavy relevance
gushing all this emotion
danger my favorite element
lusty and thirsty decadent
wasnt my final precedent
cursing a current president
distracted from painful residence
i know thats no excuse
ignored forms of abuse
maybe i was just used
where was i confused
