Glowing with distended buds her taut convex bare the chilly morning tide's touch...

As my brave abdomen is distended
pleasure in seeing my feet has ended.

on limp legs
eyes round like zeroes

Speedy Bill was often apprehended
For driving faster than recommended.
He paid officers no heed
Even increased his speed.
Now he’s on a wall decidedly distended....

            Then she bragged
               front mine self
 
           "these lips have yet
                been kissed"

              So forth came I 
               past those lips
                melting way
                  her fears...

U rgently once it's born.

      The green’s growth is soon
                   to come
       as sure as the sun’s shine
                ‘pon us heat

                       Yes
           the distended vision
  this truly is when this soul knows
         the flower did so bloom

And how I devour the flower's scent
                      so do I
             the flower's bloom...

Distended cheek
Like a chipmunk
Filled with acorns
Only 'tis

In a distended reality
  the Buddhists were right,
  but pointed they were wrong

A metaphor chosen
  to soothe and delight,
  but our choices a different song

Transcendent revelation
  a spiritual ideal,
  as today takes its pound of flesh

The totality of being
  the noblest of causes
  —when the moment demands no less

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2018)...

your ink
scripted so seductively
succumbs me

a statue of hieroglyphs
meticulous in manner
meandering
amid lasting memories
bleeding into my distended veins

you're a word of wisdom
imbibing
of my essence
with lips of long
as night stars hold view

shadows will awaken
with her solemn kiss
to the morn
begetting the radiance
beaming inside...

            In her arms I collapse

                   from sweat
                    and pangs
                of the early heat
                          az
              hern distended lips 
                         drip

      And of the once I thought sylph
                       which
                 to my rescue
             would never come
                    she came...

Swirling scuffling newspapers
Scrawling in civilized dirt
Alleyways devouring
Discarded stories of hurt
Sunken sorrel skin
Writhing in distended shame
Ingested figments of food
Decomposing depravity’s name
Corroded cans of compassion
Littering hunger pains 
Kicked into comatose corners
Prodded by public domain
Flaccid fingers of despair
Folded to somehow convey
God if you can hear me
I haven’t eaten in ten days...

With blear-eyed look,
The drinks he took,
With eyes full of tears,
He enjoys his 'cheers'!

His flushed red face,
Has no bashfulness,
He has enlarged breast,
And 'spiders' scattered on the chest.

In the abdomen distended,
Has fluid  accumulated,
Gives handshake hot,
But has libido lost.

His concealed sin 
Has relieved his mental tension,
But has expressed
In the form of "Portal hypertension'!...

A starving child cries out for food
 As his distended belly extrudes
 His cries seem to fall on deaf ears
 And he succumbs in hunger's tears

 A young girl think that she's too fat
 So she doesn't keep her food down
 She becomes victim to anorexia's wrath
 Skin and bones is the aftermath

 Other people may  eat to suppress pain
 And are in denial of  their weight gain
 Soon they will become obese
 Many will succumb to this disease...

A distended deceipt takes over,
when you,
you become the fear –
under a distorted moon, tangled,
unscripted. The damp nails
scratching,
on the skin of light
after hurricane.
Ruins stand on broken skulls
praising the icy death
bringing the race on brink.

Killer smile shatters the wholeness
of imagination. Letters drop from memory.
Words uneven, meanings disappear.
you search
the needle to stich the history.

Like helium…my red rose soul
a mylar balloon festooned 
with garlands of beveled blue ...snapdragon green
a yellow sun …bursting forth upon my shimmering surface
golden tentacles stretching around the distended orb of my beating heart
Lilting …lifting….soaring ..............upwards 

so high…so high …so very very high
I could not care... if I might die
 
and fall…Icarus de-feathered 
back to the tar
…the sick dark hot black tar ...of truth...

Lily, light and frilly, 
On the may day break;
She mounts upon the hill
Engulfed by the morning dew, 
In gaeity she blossoms wide and fair, 
Beset upon the breast, 
Of yellow, green distended bed. 

Oscillating with the glorious wind, 
Pleased to be a fleeting flower;
Neither deploring nor resenting, 
It's petite existence, 
Coming to approbate, life is short but fair, 
Gradient, soft and delicate, 
A momentary dream in tune. ...

Harken! blasts of thunder 
pressurised magma sears 
Pyroclastic hearts collapse
a spanner jams the gears

Distended fiery fissures 
augur unquantified fears
Cataclysms bring rupture 
down path’s not very clear

Aneurysms bursting veins 
popped drums burning ears
Brain function touch and go
haemorrhage out red tears

Earth ripping itself asunder 
black raw ground appears 
Man plugs his inner wounds 
holding on to love so dear

And along came the lil’ Spring flowers
  in there 'mong the springing grass

      Distended visions before me
           as if I were not there

                In the garden
                     yesss
          the flowers did belong   
           and I at the distance
                     yesss
              where I did fit in

             I felt the soft heat
                       and 
                 that scream

                 “it’s Spring”...

Chocolate coloured and glistening,
Large eyes in a larger head,
Skin stretched tight,
So young
Looking so old.
Flies dancing and settling.
No light in the gaze.

As the camera draws back,
A distended belly comes into shot
Above spindly legs
Against a blue sky
Drenched in sunshine.

We pull back and scrape our plates
Into the garbage.
We deaden our pain
With reality shows
And other trivial pursuits.

Our minds burn,
The wounds remain.
Our analgesics
Are all in vain....
