wave winds up coils tight
over tops to crash in foam

It lies in liquid coils
Aware - head raised tongue tasting
Evaporates gone

A slithering creature is the snake
He gives me such a fright
For when he coils up and hisses
I know he’s about to bite...

loops twine wonderment

clover pops up eye candy-

into the Gospels his artistic talent was sunk
Full of abstract coils&knots
the Word itself is never lost...

LIFE

The road of life twists and coils
Occasionally doubling back on itself
Threaded through convoluted 
Tangles of happiness and pain...

Three coils unwind.

                                    Celtic then, now, and future,

                                              volution of life....

The serpent coils
    'fore he strikes
      piercing hiss
      sordid sway
        ~ fearsome bite

    Paranoiacs
    flash warnings too
    Those who ignore
      ~ will later rue...

My heart got whacked  put some ice and medicine on my throbbing heart
I got toiled and moiled,got surrounded by coils   I am unconsoled I'm begging you,I blubber come to me and let all of this to be over...

suffocating,
sooty smoke
swirls silent,
serpentine;

coils around,
hisses above
crude contours
of blackened
smokestacks;

strangles the air,
dims morning light,
darkens ashen fog:
toxic smog....

Wrapped around the pillar of humanity

As it slithers up it coils tighter and tighter

It's length spreads a warmth that is all too inviting

A paralyzing euphoria


Left unsuspecting
the snap is surprising...

wheel thrown pottery
coils of clay willingly yield-
master potter's touch

A form to set aside my width.
A polarization of a manifestation,
decent while the coils roll.
Now to de pleat any ways wrong
and Tai ensure a medium of tolerance.
This is the way to procure and to
defend the title of
a nest egg....

There are grill marks on the frozen chicken
  though they’ve never known the grill.

The man in line behind me laughs
  and it’s warm like orange oven coils.

I miss
   Sylvia Plath

and hate the grill marks on the frozen chicken....

you have coils like a snake
ready to spring at any threat
yet elegant in your danger

your grip is inescapable
infused with warmth from the
seething volcano
within

soothing,
comforting even

especially when
my legs are wrapped around your body
and your fangs are on my neck...

Midnight in village, 
No moon, no power, 
Lamp lit up by granny
Flickered with hope;

Lured by its flame, 
Moths spiral around, 
Making loops and coils
Only to get burnt.

I have walked
where sun shines brightly,
where red sunset
warms the evening shade;
where the memory of day
lingers lightly,
through the night
till dawn
gleams the ocean spray-

sand beneath my feet
with the out-going tide
slithers coolly
sinks me,
winding coils
around my toes-...

Pull the trigger
Let it loose,
Your mouth the bullet
Your words a noose,
Pull the trigger
Aim it well,
Your language sparks
wounds from hell
Carry on
The snake that coils,
Barely breathing, as holiness spoils
Pull the trigger
Set it free,
Your soul created 
a monster in me.

The succubus bleeds in the shadows of woe, I feel nothing as your eyes glaze over. Haunted you linger with a necrotic glow. I feel nothing as your flesh begins to harden. Hush child, tis time to be silent as infinity embraces you deep. Go fourth the abyss and wander the coils of fathomless oceans of sleep…...

Eye saw u lookin at me
When eye turned around eye could not see
Eye wondered what it could be
Eye tried to find the link 2 me
Eye turn around 2 try 2 see
To find out what it meant 2 me
Like a snake coils around a tree
Eye turned and looked behind me
Eyez wide shut so eye can't see
To find u lookin right at me...

Listen to poem:

Moon girl Father's precious Jewel ;
Daughter of Pearls, so pure :
Life above the vexed world;
 Angel tolls coils scents of lavender ;
Righteous role Heavenly hope;
Myrrh frankincense cinnamon pearls;
A Mother's joy, Father's girl;
Hallelujah

A contemptuous shimmer in his eye.

His body coils along the trunk.
 
An empty stomach fuelled only by anger.

Looming ominously from the sky.

He hangs from the branch,
lolling, staring, waiting.

Waiting for a victim
to constrict and inflict.

He stares.

He waits.

He starves.

Too late?

No. Not today....

Discombobulation
Interrupts my concentration
In the darkest corner of my mind
It's sinuous coils unwind
And because of it's intrusion
I'm caught up in confusion
My thoughts become so scattered
And the thing that really mattered
The track that I was following
The snake is busy swallowing
I wish I could combobulate
And concentrate to meditate...

Medicant!
Smooth velvet drapes
on a silken skin
Soothing evening operas;
tonic to thirsty tongues.

Tranquil!
Calm as sea breeze
Soporific lullaby sung 
from the
lips of unseen spirits
Drapes of solitude
Cooing
Whispers of words.

Surreal!
Enternity-still nights in
silent neighborhoods
Coy coiling coils
Seeping stillness
  Silence!...
