Short Flicked Poems

peach clouds feathery
mare's tails flicked across the dusk 
sky randomly there....

I
stand before you humble
I
 sit as my mind rumbles
running from myself
flicked in my breathe...

If ever her dark hair
Falls out of bun or flicked
Flustered fastly overcoming me
And then her face
Resonance and love
For all her features
And still I would know
She’s the one for me...

silver tears flicked off easily now
landing in a hard alley of worthless junk 
part of my almost nonremembered land
replaced by diamonds of happiness
and joy I have found in my forever people...

At six you reeled in your first trout, smoked your first cigarette.
You haven’t flicked your last one out. Each of us at last exhales
the dream like rainbows in a stream. Fish run that river yet....

pezones
made of
hard
dark
chocolate
sit
atop
mounds
made of cream

pezones
made 
to be
licked
flicked
kissed
from
head 
to toe
but

dedos
are
another
kind of
dessert
for
another
poem
for

Dedicated to my children
(Ravi & Kiran)

On the first floor,
In the dark,
Always, 
My eyes,
Acrosses lights,
In a front window.

A moth flicked,
Round the light,
But my eyes,
Still
Chasing a shadow,
Behind the curtain....

Jim flicked off the bedroom wall LIGHT
With HOPE of a wild sex filled night
But the tone of his wife
Made him fear for his life
Guess she’s keeping her legs shut tight

Sweat glistened on her smooth white skin,
Her buxom breasts bounced around
She panted deep and heavy
her legs kicked all around

She flicked her long dark hair
Let of a shriek and then a grin
There was no one else but her lover
To see her naked frisbee win!...

My tablet wasn't charging, there must have been a glitch 
I jiggled the white cable, and soon got to screaming pitch
I asked my helpful hubby, if could he sort out the hitch
Then hubby started laughing... I’d not flicked the 'on' switch!

Listen to poem:

Heavy hearts, ripped apart, lie scattered, splattered.
Fledgling feelings failed to bring blossom blooms.
Longing love left lingering
on the vine, fraught fruit, wrinkling withered.
No noble rot renders,
to save savor in wasted wine.
Fate faded, flame flicked down to off....

Oh feel me now, my love so soft,
A hue of breath flicked ‘gainst my neck.
With chests pressed close my heart aloft,
Your lips pressed firm to give a peck.

Desire strong flows through the blood,
Heating passion straight at the soul,
So sends the need as swift a flood,
As lovers love will take its toll....

On sight. On smell.
My body betrays me 
Every hidden switch flicked
Every pulse and button jammed
What is this bag of bones for,  if not to run and run and run from you
Even if I want you gone
out of here tonight
Eyes lock, screws turn
The heart weakens and the mind
rolls over 
to what the rising day holds...

The crescent moon lent a possessive tinge
to the stratified silhouettes of the wounded Winter sky.
The sliver of silver provided the single, solitary, punctuation 
to an otherwise dreary evening.
Soot colored vegetation covered the horizon
As dwelling lights flicked on
dotting the vista like fire flies in night....

They could not possibly understand
Had she had a lobotomy or was she born this way?
She laughed at their status quo paranoia
They would never touch her
Her flames licked and flicked all around
Up and down past their elbows
Before they knew they were on fire
They were screaming now
But only in her dreams.
It was enough...

Where am I in you?

Am I just sitting on the
  edges of your mind,
Easily flicked away
  when you haven't the time?

Am I just a peripheral vision?
A perimeter friend?

Do you just glance through my glass
                 quickly,
            then out again?

After all this time,
Am I still just on the fringes of your mind?...

Ignorance is bliss,
Said the Little Miss
As she picked the Edelweiss.*

Ah, but tis only bliss
Until you've had a kiss
Replied the Master Kris.

I do not want a kiss
Hissed the Little Miss,
And flicked her hand to dismiss

That cheeky, charming Swiss.

*Note: Edelweiss is symbolic of purity

Is it me that I want to explore
Just me I would implore 
I don’t show it all
So you won’t see me or recall
What was me inside
Maybe something not to abide

So passive when you look
A huge flicked through book
Where you see the glossy prints
That you haven’t seen since
And the small print never read
A secret less useful instead.

For a little poem I do perform
A depth defying feat.
By all accounts I do seem shallow
Upon a surface read.

But before that N/A switch is flicked,
Let me percolate;
What once was shallow, when you dive in,
Becomes a spring fed lake.

the airship came suspiciously close to my face
I flicked it away as if it was a bug but it kept coming
had I even touched it? no. I had felt air, not metal.
why is it still following me? what does it want?

Why don’t you ask? suggested my internal voice.
Who are you? What do you want from me.
Just a little compassion, a voice said.
I realized at that second, it was my voice....

worn wit's fang
omen's punctured prank
hoisted odds hampered
relieving rusty orders
monstrous myth melt
dripping dark delves

eerie experiment etched
foiling felon flesh
mental horizon's mesh

fragile future's confetti
humming hacked hymns
quarantined fate flicked

callous contractions cruised
birthing blitzkrieg bruised.

She flicked and flapped 
Her wee wings
From her wee nest, but
She cast one's mind back
She saw her scars
Her wee heart weep out, but
She makes up one's mind
To hang on her dreams
Her dream to fly
She flicked and flapped her wing
From her wee nest
She flew, but
She felt down
Her wee heart hurt, but
She didn't weep down
She makes up one's mind
To hang on her dream
Her dream to fly...

Your Christmas tree looks like it is made of real frogs! I told the witch.
It is, she assured me. They are standing on circular risers.
Want to hear them sing?
I don’t think that is necessary, I said.

It was too late.
She had flicked her wand and they were stadium singing.
A loud croaking bullfrog in the back ruined the entire song.
I may have to change him back into the mayor, she told me....

THE CHANCING- -

I chant not believe;
finally flicked blind host;
cover me always;

bless me from sources;
spirit unbelief comes forth;
protect from demons;

conjurer up the lust;
that try to engage us all;
while in denial;

git thee behind me;
I don't believe in no ghosts;
and yet their spirits;
