Oh desire,
Somewhere in Paris
My heart confessed insatiable hankering
For love's fevered avenues of splendor!

My wishes sit on fates shoulder
A hankering to sit over
I lie asleep in my fog of desire
For I can’t cast a spell un pondered...

Throbbing trances hankering 
for raindrops of devotion,

I stood frigid in cold logic,

Melted with warmth of his 
leather jacket on my shoulders....

Listen to poem:

Come dear beau
embrace in my shadow
beneath my leaves
for a kiss or two.
I am a mistletoe
a parasite,
that needs to hang
on a tree as host,
and moreso,
I need kisses
to excite and powerup!...

A hankering feature once she was
Saturated by a plethora of alleviation
along the current she’d sway
Her presence infusing meaning
In elementary shapes
And esoteric hymns
Makita te quiero
Tu eres mi amor...

Hope hankering emissive forlorn wishes
Obvious foreseen conjecture
Presume presupposed wanton
Expectation propose forecast longing

A ballerina 
 blissfully bended 
in blue
reaches out
 into the 
overbearing 
embrace of  
empty space .
Hopelessly
hankering for 
the fondness
 of a familiar face 
to set all her  
life’s  pieces 
back into 
place ....

As
A
Bubble
Coveted dreams
Waft in the ether
Illumining opalescent
Hankering yearnings in your sanguineous veins stream
Awakening the enthusiasm to wake up each morning with a sense of purpose

feeling powerless
surrendering to passion
hankering for more

curse rhyme or reason
allow your heart to decide 
listen intently

elbow fear aside
seize the moment and hold on
surrender to it

her heart hankering for love
one errant tear drop glistens
a beckoning badge of innocence
to the  hungry scourge that waits
her crimson smile quickly devoured
as her rare innocence drowns
in the raging murky waters
of the singles bar scene...

Girls and boys
pick up your toys
Your playground
has been shut.

There’s a man out there
with greasy hair
hellish hankering
in his gut.

That’s what we thought
till Joey’s father was caught.
He was clean shaven
with neat crew cut.

 sun spitting fire

hankering to be moistened,

the Earth gapes its mouth

dried up hearts thirst for love’s balm

that evaporates like steam.

Hindemith hindered her hibernation hopes.
How hansome harmonies hurt.
They hint at her lonliness, her homelyness.
She hunts her heart, hankering for a humdinger to hold her here.
Honour? Him? 
Her hand hits a howitzer.
She hears him.
It's heady to hold.

But perhaps better to let go....

aura seeped'n seals
trained by breech
entrenched in smirk
leering limbs lurch
saucy smirk spank
face into trance

lusty lips weave
hoisted hankering hymns
rustling robust rhythm

jumpy jazz jolts
per punctured pores
sappy song sawn

admirer nursing gores
felon face prod.

let
me
taste you 
head to toe,
just like forked lightning
tastes air, if you feel so inclined.
please allow me to savor your saccharine sweetness;
you're much like lukewarm honey oozing generously into my salivating tongue!

Seemingly out of nowhere,
I have experienced an incessant yearning for sweets.
When I see mouth-watering sweets gracing my table,
An intense temptation grow inside me,
My desire goes on elevating;
Making it hard to satiate my selective hunger.
It's always an overwhelming feeling,
triggering a happy spot in my brain....

bounty bicycle belched
in crimson crest
wielding moaning wheels
of saucy spree:
taunted tracks moan
tainted tyre's moor

fiery feelings fondling
per punctured pills
merging mystic mist

hideous hood hankering
with halts shuddering
like triturated tits

"roll'n rustic rims
felon wind riding."

eerie earth belched
callous creed's crest
nocturnal nature nauseated
dark dribbles cremated
hoisted hankering cruised
sassy soil puked

rusty rims yawned
puncturing pulpy pawn
tactic trend torn

bruised bark bent
mystic moaning etched
saucy seal spent

lofty lids lurched
vying voluptuous verge.

silly sequoia smirks
gulping lusty lurch
bounty breeze bears
callous crest's peer :
haughty hankering hoists
felon fate's foiled

busty bellow blush
under taunted touch
airy atmosphere crush

dark dances drool
moaning melody brood
pulsing punctured pool

sequoia helpless be
feelings spell grip.

I'm not sure what's going on im 
lost on end day to day I'm 
trying to take the pain away, 
I'm waiting for the time so my 
life can get easier the 
hankering thoughts of you 
leave me out of breath I'm 
drowning with emotions and 
demons are inside my head I 
can't go to sleep with out 
feeling the un-relieved 
stressed....

mystic mind moaning
voluptuous veins vying
hoisted heats hankering
squeezing salient sanity
girding gaunt ice
veiled by vice

hollow joints jangling
eerie echo smirking
felon fun flickering

drooling darkness dances
drooping over vices;
salient silhouettes sketches

on and on
smeared space gnawl.

eyes etched eerily
in mystic mists
of taunted tracks
drooling death damped
felon feet fostering
hoisted spree heaving

salient satyr scrunching
locked laced lips
in hankering hymns

saucy smirk blushed
zeal cold-blood cupped
punctured pleck dumped

lusty limbs lurching
topsy-turvy twain tumbling.

punctured pleasure pulsing
bounty beats blushing
hoisted horizons hankering
damping dark dances
on tainted torrent
cupping callous crest

wielded waves whooshing
heaving vying hymns
with felon verses

Ironbounds mystic move
swaying stray mood
feeble fishes chew

on and on
punctured pleasure's pawn.

She was the bawdiest gal, they said.
Her eyes were green, her hair was red.
There were rumors of course
She rode nude on her pet horse
But we never knew her, for she was long dead.

You’re luckier for it, they told me.
She lived to be age eighty-three
She had a hankering 
For all kinds of pankering
She was my Great-Aunt Norma Bea...
