Short Onrush Poems

Your touch on my body
Saw an ocean in a drop
Couldn’t check onrush...

billowing waters
caused by winds sudden onrush
electric surges

Touched by you, I am
Eclipsed:

Wanton, we gather superficially at the
Center of warm flesh,
Decoding one another's fractured forms.

I feel, for all purposes, in a 
Self-defeating sense, Desire
Of tidal proportions, an Oceanic
Onrush, only to be drowned in.

the first onrush of delight swept them away
for a while into the open sea of fond memories
and vague, tender feelings;

then it gradually slackened into an uneasiness
that descended into a quiet embarrassment,
something mutually unsettling;

feelings about half-remembered guarded secrets 
of a long-forgotten time that bubble up close 
to the surface of here, of now....

I never been
ocular witness
one of the happiest moments
that I dreamed.

I did never taste
the wine of freedom
that I knead in my cellars.

And the river goes down onrush, 
in order to sweep
this litter life.

So here I am
At the bank of Acherons
grin and bear it
as in a bus station.
The system 
is doping me with money.
My friends 
promise me a sunny day.
And I want 
the future now!...

Brief respite lapsed,
Gray day too harsh
To venture out
As noontime last
When sidewalks teemed
With jacketless grins
And one pert, lithe runner
Of vernal youth
Flashed her bare palm
In friendly passing …

Now, through fogged pane,
I downheartedly watch
Three daffodils bob
Canary heads
Against this onrush
Of chill wet air:

Spring taunts winter’s
Doomed oppression....
