Short Bloats Poems

Cotton candy, so fluffy and soft
Sugar that floats, sticking on throat
Color that bloats, sailing like boat
My sweet hands, grubby like groft...

Between palings
spiders mating, grope.
Sixteen limbs wait
envenomation; she
eats his dreams,
bloats,
so swinging
spiderlings think
of nothing.

on tip of a wisp
as it bevels and bloats
streamlined scribbles etching a note
upturned waves collapsing
in cotton bobs
greys and embers mating a mistake
ethereal tendril veins knitting patters undone
phoenix fogs missed mist
of almost pink...

The new Mc Spicy is born
Can i have non vanilla non milk milkshake
shaken vertically then horizontal then metaphorically
Why isn't there a kft-Kentucky fried turkey

A paper carton 
bloats in the fridge,
its manufactured nutrients 
stretched thin as a lie. 
I pour it down the drain.

The disposal gurgles 
back its curdled skin,
a sour hymn rising 
through the pipes,
fumes of expiration 
smelling like post-partum 
nightmares. 

Amen.

Write words well
Truth time tells


Feel fun fest
Quit queer quest


Meet mind map
Sense sweet sap


Taste true test
Rip rough rest


Craft calm cheer
Dance dream dear


Joy joins jest
Blame bloats best


Spice sweet stretch
Meet meek match


Loud lines leap
Prompt play peeps

Luna light floats
Misty dusk calls,
Aura now bloats
As moonbeams fall.


Day fades away
As cold air churns,
A touch now strays
As frost can burn.


By window sight
I watch moon glow,
In mystic flight
That glimpses show.


A lonely feel
Comes with odd surge,
A restless will
Can humble urge.

No last words
Silence screams


Life pulse gone
Strange sense dawns


No more fuss
Still form here


Cold air bloats
Death now floats


A cold strange
Touch feels numb


Mind in shock
Tact takes stock


Shock spreads gist
No more cage


Rest In Peace
In new lease


Word unsaid
No more dread

Pain knows
What pain shows


Joy lights
What joy sights


Hope curls
What hope hurls


Sight frames
What sight names


Faith feels
What faith heals


Love dreams
What love streams


Hurts fling
What hurts bring


Name floats
What name bloats


Call seeds
What call feeds


Voice strains
What voice stains


Pain lifts
What pain sifts

To gain
Bear pain


Now don't you fear
Hold on to cheer


Hope floats
Joy bloats


Old dreams now rust
Empty like dust


Lost wit
Strange fit


Dare to be brave
Know faith that saves


Feel then
Just when


Frame your clear poise
Style your sure voice


Keep still
Wise will


Love fashions plain
Dream once again


Sculpt then
New plans

The crazed obsession 
    to rule the lives of others
rends the ruler's humanity 
    into tatters,
feeds, fills and bloats 
    his overweening vanity,
deludes the ego 
    with invincibility.

But stripped of his mask, 
    the tyrant shall fall apart
for pomp and vainglory hide 
    a sham, hollow heart
of a cursed, cowering canine 
    that creeps to crawl
through labyrinthine caves 
    of what's left of his soul!...

Face sad find:
Toxic kind


Feel the fake
Break odd take


Guile now bloats
In mad gloat


Twist to turn
Pain that churns


Words tell lies
On the sly


Shift shape pile
With fake smile


Odds grind ends
To cast blend


Feel the mood
Bad makes good


Time to moan
Mind wild groans


Much too much
Strikes that touch


Toxic kind:
Blind leads blind

A mother’s gift that’s left
Upon her infants milky breath, laying
Cradled in rest upon her breast with

Besotted silence popping little hiccups til
Sitting up 
With puffy cheeks and silky lips 

Blowing oily bubbles whilst
Looking through eyelids a flutter with
Sleepy dust and whispering
Their love beyond quiet deprivation

As lazy sleep bloats about the room
To land on eyelids fat with dreams
Of snuffling snores

And suckled joy....

How can something so small steal your heart away?
Running, Playing the excitement.
Purring, rubbing your face.
Curled around the neck night after night.
Heart filled with love.
Laughter, smiles, playing.
Belly bloats, blood flows.
Sleeping more still wrapped around the neck at night.
Heart turns to pain listening to cries.
Days pass weaker and weaker.
Nothing but tears, hole in the heart.
Fresh dirt tears bounce off.
How can something so small steal your heart away?...

Misty moon climbs high
In the dark night sky


Dreamy moods like mists
Loiter in strange gist


Late evening bloats
As stray echoes float


A surreal sense wings
As chilly cold flings


Feel in the marrow
A certain hollow


Touch can feel so plain
A dreamy refrain


Words in brisk drip here
Juggle with stray cheer


Moonlight aura finds
Dreamy state of mind


Autumn in last dash
Chokes on wintry flash
