Vatican City,
Protruding Roman skylines;
The jewel in the sky....

Not Me Deluding Horn Haiku

Was not protruding
Hope things will be improving
Not me deluding....

Cobwebs,
settle on my tongue, 
lines of sodden caramel, 
stick in their formation, clapping,
to each considered fiction,
protruding from,
my gum.

Treat someone wrongly
 maybe survive
Treat them as stupid
bees leave the hive
Stinger’s protruding
vitals exposed
Phylaxis laid bare
—venom explodes

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse
Of a stunning young lady, classified as a nymph
A glorious image
Playing the fiddle
An overweight statue with a protruding plinth...

Two tiny bulbs 
In the dark
Round, yellowish, shining and protruding
Look like two tanglongs in the dark
But not to play 
They are patrolling hunting eyes 
Waiting to catch a rat 
But not a thief...

I can see right through people
Blind spot
Kindly stop
Protruding proturbances
And geekly greeting the minority
Show me the sorority
On fire
Like the time you died
In you
Keeping me
Safely 
Alone....

His pinched up nostrils,
His bat-ears,
He is hard to hear,
His eyes stare----
--With vacant expression----
And mouth open,
With protruding incisors,
His saliva dribbles.
Clinician! Can you offer diagnosis?
No? Oh! It's Enlarged Adenoids!...

She mirrored the shape of a psychotic hooker
Tattooed by hickeys and bruises
Written upon the pages of her breasts
In lieu of her nightly pearl tuxedo
The teeth protruding from her ******
Began hissing and spitting at me
The war was far from over…...

An Era races towards me
My age, likewise, advances to meet her
Womanhood!

An epoch is come to me
I am with child
The child of my beloved

My heart throbs in sheer delight
I am in the family way

Months sail hastily
Along with my protruding stomach
Motherhood is near!...

heads
                   wise, functional 
             bobbing, talking, turning
leaderships, guides, appendages, backside
          wiggling, protruding, tugging 
                    whiplike, furry
                           tails

Bones 
Protruding 
Like they never have before
Questions
Countered by camouflage 
And false filling
I can only count to a thousand
And you’re counting on me
But I’m trapped
And truthfully,
I don’t intend to flee
It’s a numbers game
And I’ll calculate my way to the carcass...

Back drops of life
Tending down rottenness
Picking doors expensive
Voice activated
No intruders
Quiet enfolds 
Inner materials
Grand exits and entrance
Stage manner audience
Mountains back loft
Ski slope catchall
Frontal success 
Filling slates jest
Protruding those jealous...

---note: read the poem down then up---

 Tombstone,
Spiraling Floral design,
Swirls around upwards,
Green leaves plastered

Red roses blooming,
Thorns protruding outwards,
A thicket of deciet, fatal
Deep wounds, betrayal

Laceracions dance on the arm,
Blood spilling,
Skin paling,
Summoning death...

Flat
My unback
Taunts me
My front
Of nothing
Protruding
i'm disillusioned
Seeking
The model body
To be a hottie
But thin is phat
And fat is cash
In the right places
Botox faces
Even so
Silicone dreams
Are not for me
Nor twin salines
Instead I look down
And wish for growth
Sadly disappointed
Because I know
I won't...

Small Hands Are Elegant

Small hands seem so elegant
Regardless of where they went
Go around in circles protruding
And answers to questions eluding
Was auctioneer where money is spent.

That is what Trump reminds me of
sometimes.

THE RUDIMENTS OF WINGS

Barely stubs,
these soul nodules, 
not yet protruding the surface,
still part of the wormlike me.
The force of metamorphosis 
thrusts hard against filmy chrysalis;
meconium pulses, dilating miniscule veins.
The terror of change soon will cease,
bring release,
to the rudiments of wings.

My orgasm face?   I’ve never seen, but
I think we’d both look flushed and keen

Contorted? Well I’m glad you ask, a cross
Between Goofy and that movie “The Mask”

Teeth protruding and smile growing quick,
And anyone saw me, might think that I’m sick

Ah!.. life can be great,  pulling faces with mate
Why should we bother, keeping it straight?...

Delicate butterfly orchids
stand paper thin and tall
Perfect pout pink lip-gloss kisses
with proud protruding power jewel centre
Ephemeral Angels 
sign of life and hope
renewed strength and passion
Powerfully poised petals
gently nod affectionate ‘I love yous’
long since they were given as gift
bringing forth renewed romantic setting
an idealistic reminder every day...

FISH BONE

In the middle of a meal
As tempting as Nebuchadnezzar’s table
She feasted fiercely
Without noticing the protruding bone,
in the fish she churns

Alas a cry
For help,
Creating a sore in the throat
Neither water nor food
Shall find its way down

For her system disrupted
Like our system of governance

She must be treated
For their to be an improvement...

Protruding eyes turn around; ball in socket.
It just jumped out of Dad’s coat pocket!
Visibly disturbed, it is not to lose its wit.
A new shelter it must find in grooves, sunlit.

Catch it! It fools us leaving its tail behind
to make a clean escape, leaving us blind.
Try looking for it among creeping bean;
it is much wiser for it has turn green!

Old age
Threatening near
Wrinkles on forehead
Lines on corners of eye
Netted crosses on cheeks
Plumps of fat
On protruding belly
Double chins
Hanging loose
Shrivelled hands and fingers
Resemble those of a cold blooded animal
Clumsy legs 
Staggering
Sinking eyes
Dimming
Exhausted brain
Confusing
A complicated world
A bleak future
For every oldie 
And it comes only once...

Hugging is my favorite gesture
Not this time. No, not anymore
Just an exchange of sweet flying kiss
With closed eyes and protruding lips
Let’s show true love and care
Protect each other from virus- don’t share

April took the best of everything
anesthetic corpses, love killed love

Bruised all over before it fell from the tree
buried again, body untasted but the seeds are everlasting

The only way to unlock the cage, to be covered in dirt
to sleep
to escape

Fingerless gloves hiding protruding
tired veins
In the uncomfortable heat
brother, you got me wrong

yet I paid that debt somehow...

A candid confession from you,
when your identity started protruding
from innocent rage.

You were accepting defeat
without a fight.

The lips tell the grief of human failure,
your prudence propped up
by Prozac.

A beautiful collection of anxieties
adorned on the shelf of life.

A cruise in veins
to dispel the high cholesterol
dewy-eyed mirror
and ambulating pain.
