By the pricking of her buns
Something wicked this way comes
Of course its Willy
Just acting silly
No one needed to twist his thumbs!

My heart pounds steadily
pushing warmth throughout my insides
but I burn with a frozen fire
my skin pin-pricking in the cold night
I've never felt more alive.

Phases hurting, memories not forgetting
Stuck in the mind with torns and pricking
Pluck of the heart that worns and piercing
Tokens shattering, to be free but not letting.

Dark dull dawn
Sunset sad silhouette
After you’re gone
Pricking pain persists
Grief getting gross
You, still in dreams exist
Lonely long life
Sinking Spirit Subsists
Where, respite lies

Sharp pellets of hail
angrily slap at the earth
pricking and provoking
a chilly temper tantrum
from dark, grumbling skies.

This scarecrow is no country bumpkin
His bottom and head are ripe pumpkin
Touch him if you dare
He’ll give you a scare
By pricking your hand with a bodkin
Inspired by the picture Lin sent to me

Limerick
Protective barbed wire
pricking with it’s touch;
Blood just rushed from
the lock on your heart;
Penalized necklace;
Scratches so deep,
there’s no way back;
Feral feelings,
aortic slice;
It’s heavy,
a burden
in silence;
Let go,
embrace
love.

An ice cold firework
Discharges in my heart
Detonating out shards of ice
To pierce the mind
Pricking my fingers
As the heat
Drains from me and
Like a welcoming fireplace
Warms the souls of the
Dead hearts I've dug up
From the graves of fireflies
That never saw it
Past summer

Orange sunset, shining like rusty gold
Parting beautifully as day grows old
Towards the hill where I stand
Its parting smile, so fair and grand
As I write this poem of mine
I feel her warmth, cozy and fine
Pricking my cape towards my face
Like glorious rays in heights of days

Prickly but healthy
A sticky situation
Healing from dry land
Pricking nerve cells and sugar
Nopales sticking around

Looking on with disdain
At the wayside street urchin
We feel within us a pricking pain
From conscience to us one on the chin
Judging the other by outer appearance
Unspoken thoughts veil not our intent
Where has gone innate innocence
The play divine joyful & content

Rhyme
I was walking in the field
Maize leaves blinding my eyes
Star thorns pricking my feet;
My eyes settled on a small pumpkin,
It had not grown enough
To show the kind of pumpkin
It would make,
Or even the shades it would take;
I just left it there
Holding on to its withering mother.

sky tattooed
all over with autumn’s scent,
tokens of numbness
spread along my heartbeats,
ashes growing wild
around what used to be my soul,
crows waiting for my dreams
to become their holy communion,
and beyond all this, me,
heading towards a one hundred years sleep,
after pricking my fingers in your thorny self…

Love.
So bittersweet
So vulnerable
clouded over me
and poured down heavily
embracing my being
and refreshing my soul
until I saw you
untouched
and dry.
But the rain didn’t stop
the embrace turned icy cold
pricking on my skin like needles.
I gasped for air
But you couldn’t see
After all, the Rain
fell only upon me.

My pain is alive
It decides when, where, and how it strikes
My pain lives
It has it own heartbeat
It races, paces
And it can even skip a beat
My pain has choices to make
Sick, burning, numbing, pricking
Cramping, ice cold, burning hot
Which to choose?
If it wasn't for my pain's life
Would I life?
All I know is my pain's alive

spooky sleep staggering
with wills wielding
hoisted hands hankering
lurching, fiddling lids
sumptuous state stuttering
eerie end enveloping
Zeus zipping zeals
pricking pulsing peels
moaning mists munching
summoned sundry saps
gaunt gods grasped
pruning punctured pats
"Leave for Earth,
damp desirous death."

We make plans, conspiracies
To capture, Lovers lies
we want a stand, seal proof
escape pricking tongues of youth
Lies, invincible dread
surly we all agree,
ten commandments
truth concede
in swallowed regions
we confirm
Most in love
we discern
making plans, then tear to shreds
innocent
Hopeful, bless
the soul, who dressed in stone
sets the truth
on painful throne

PASSION
Passion overflowing.
Pearly nectar of heart
Piercing obsessed feeling
Pointing possessiveness.
Pricking tangling craving.
Persisting hankering
Parching emotive urge.

Verse
Someone very near and very dear
leaves, perhaps forever, no offense
but he has his own right to life, it
just happens to be thousands of
miles away...
and so I go about my daily grind
grim-faced, gusto-less, ghostlike going
through the motions, until I feel
his message shoot through my veins
pricking my conscience and bringing
out the sunshine in my heart of hearts

sweet smell
pricking the air
who are you
why are we here
words as weapons
yet i can't comprehend
why you show me passion
show me love
when commitment cannot bend
and i'm left alone
heart to mend
such a sad goodbye
to myself
I'm left with these memories
no one to help
distantly present
swimming in thoughts
why you fell out of love-
I thought passion
and you left me in knots

In solace of twilight,
a red sun fades,
while my window kindles a first star,
sparking old reflections
This one evening star
has carried the weight of the world
pricking the night for answers
to ancient questions

Verse
The rosy sun has gone to bed
leaving me awake and all alone
upon this mountain where I sit staring
at the twilight sky yawning to stars,
pricking at the sky’s deep purple canopy.
Give me longer arms to grasp time’s
swift hands slowing his perpetual clocking rounds . . .
somewhere weary hearts must find such space;
the rosy sun has gone to bed.

Verse
unseen thoughts of misery
haunt her brain cells
breakdown in her dreams,
wall of wonderland
demolished
she is tip-toeing through the pricking comments
love of a black hole she attracts milked stars
honeyfied, the sun be a queen of her galaxy
burning, turning men into ashes
she loves not of feelings
but atoms, matter
an ocean
most men drown in her eyes
8 hours to touch her ocean bed
7 falls 8 stand
