Short Bloodstream Poems

wounded by the sun
snow mountain bleeds white bloodstream
brim filled rivers flood

Fingertips move the keyboard taps,
over time my patience just snaps;
Pulse raises in my bloodstream 
hard to hold back a scream
when you shout at me in caps....

Bed bugs in my bedroom
Safari ants in compound
army worms in  gardens
microbes in bloodstream
hot tongues in the office
rats in the granary, store
I’m overrun, captured!...

A poet with a sacred curse
Writing in pain with his veins
Feeling his pulse in the pages
Laughing at the void in his bloodstream
Fading away with pride
To the verse he craved for...

Your home fills a rancid life
Yesterday was very refreshing 
But agonizing voices murmured
Through the shivery cold
The moon's sight peers through
Your bloodstream zapping it
With a vinegary feeling...

your dulcet words from your lips slipped into my bloodstream 
and filled my heart with desire
but now even those delightful words sting like poison
contaminating my mind,
infecting my soul

the Secret Cottage,
a forest trek where
sundown gently on 
your face. Riverside
drifting.. the grasp seeds.
Forest game, heartbeat
of the wild nature, 
inhuman natures 
bloodstream chasing
the tormerting Faces....

My DNA lettered
My bloodstream in verse
My feelings in couplets
My last goes to first

My breathing in prose
My expression in rhyme
My horizons unwritten
My soul there to shine

My sweet, my indelible blessing,
as air into lungs is unfolding,
you run through my bloodstream unending.
As violet incasing a sunrise,
as drifts settled in with the snow,
I wander evoking decisions.
I feel you beside me,
the wind starts to blow......

                             GREEN for the bloodstream
                             RED for the beautiful heart
                             YELLOW for the skin
                             ORANGE for inflammation 
                             Eat the beYOUtiful rainbow...

Fake is a disease that has yet to be cured 
Close your nose and beware of its fumes 
Toxic, deadly in its brisk appeal
Outrageous reactions of panic 
Those who have caught the illness,
Are hell bent on getting inoculated 
Airborne fraudulent, bloodstream deadly  
Things will never be the same...

Home is Where the Heart is

swimming within
your lovely eyes,

I shall make my way,
so downwardly...

and going through
your bloodstream

I'm breathless in
this splendid dream,

stopping now, I make
for myself a good home

deep inside of your heart,
where surely we'll never part

***
The room, whose nostrils were plugged,
lives for itself, 
And does not know the meaning of the word "waiting".
And when my hand hits
the handle of her window,
letting oxygen into her bloodstream, 
What then?
What to look at from her airways?
Driving a wedge of sun- ray into the lungs of four walls,
Will I save myself ?...

The serene breeze carries your voice
And it falls onto a cloud
To soften the morning dew
Bringing life to the sound of despair
The horizon is filled with green grass
So delicate it eases your bloodstream
Giving you a reason to live
Soon that feeling will fade away
Picked up by an approaching storm
And torn apart by negative thoughts...

LABYRINTHINE

An injected nanobot in the bloodstream
I am now swept along by the constant flow
And I transmit what I see back to the team
They can see what I see, wherever I go
Jostled by red and white blood cells, thick as cream
If I come across a blockage, then we’ll know
Labyrinthine, with tiny capillaries
My feedback will determine how bad it is...

Sometimes it's like a bloodletting
and the womb is the target.
Open your legs and let me be
sucked up into the bloodstream.
Come, we will walk hand in hand
down lighted streets 
as I construct an idealism more damning,
more hysterical, since sometimes I
feel infinitely outmoded, infinitely second hand.
It is so ludicrous now, I feel compelled to laugh....

Suffering through a crowd of smiles when you're the only one who frowns.
Unto my diluted eyes tears are felled.
Incineration of a lacerated heart.
Corrosion of optimism because dreams were bloodied and killed.
Is longing for death.
Desperation for a listening ear.
Angry conscience emitting sorrow into a stale bloodstream. 
Losing control by drowning within unnecessary fear....

When the Moon moves out of sight slow 
it stages a nightmarish dream; 
Your pulse jumps inside your bloodstream 
with an irrational tempo;
Smiling like a jester although 
you can hear every silent scream
when the Moon moves;
Closing your eyes is a deathblow 
suffocated by the extreme;
With a blood curtailing moonbeam 
can you truly trust your shadow 
when the Moon moves?...

Stop! That’s what they shout
when the crowd rushes out

Runaway! They scream
As they Leer at the bloodstream

Help! They Call out 
Waiting for the hero to strikeout

Strong! We will remain against evil
Be prepared for your upheaval

Together! Shoulder to shoulder for life
Bulletproof and ready for the knife

Victory! is about working together
No matter how bad the weather...

Nocturnes penned from old glass reservoirs, 
dipped black liquid notes of evening
Solemn, haunted, pale faced genius
passion built up sweet relieving
Knocking from the outside window
can't deter the work in progress
but to add a steady rhythm 
to this melody of solace
Match the heartbeat, steal the soul
as gentle prodding often does
Nocturnes running through my bloodstream
tap me into midnight love....

Don’t get high off life
Get high off love
Because love is the ultimate drug

Take a sniff
Instantly you will feel that rush
A great feeling of euphoria

Puff, Puff
Make sure you inhale all that love smoke
Now sit back and watch that love drug work

Finally just take that little injection
Let it flow through your bloodstream
Then you will feel all the emotions taking over

Be careful not to overdose...

Talk a little bit nerdy just for me,
let’s watch ‘Star Wars’ all night long;
I’ll be your Rebel princess faithfully;

Bury my moan in the theme song,
can you handle a geeky kind of kink? 
The cinematic innuendo let’s prolong;

Putty in your hands before you blink,
you can be part of my wildest dream;
Each scene you recite I’m on the brink;

‘Imperial March’ hits my bloodstream,
keep up with the beat make me scream....

Once it's a desire,
and the needs intensify.
to create,to justify
To be known...not so far.

All I dream is to fulfill,
what deep inside me
is a fiercing devotion,
compose every one's dream.

My sword started to kill,
tearing the flesh,
swim one's soul in bloodstream
Dying to live again.

Now I plough in a midst of nowhere,
Spread my wings up high.
Reigns  my soul to indulgence.
One breath away, one step closer....

red meat that is so sweet
and yellow that's quite mellow
but before you imbibe, make sure black seeds are inside
from verdant fields to homely tables 
to big juicers and smooth blenders
waste not, want not
how about a nice jolt of citrulline?
a flow of rind divine to the bloodstream
a marvelous gift to man 
pulling the pressure down and pushing the energy up
three or four generous pieces down the chute
now it's time to drink up...

To wipe away my sorrow I must drink,
Bury myself in this liquor tonight,
As this flows through my bloodstream makes me think,
Heart vibrates to make me forget my plight,
My soul consoled making my eyes shine bright.

Disappointment of today makes me cry,
Solace is found in this cup without blame,
I will dance to this rhythm to fly high,
I will drink;her strength can't be put to shame,
This romance between us remains the same.
