Short Reverting Poems

Fading images
Reverting queens and heroes
To average mortals,
Now just like everybody's,
They join the lost loves' graveyard...

Anticipating, beckoning, casting demonic, enviable fury, gazing hungrily inside, jutting kerosene, littering masses never opted, putrefying quills, reverting sympathy, turning upside-down…vaccinating whim, x-raying yesteryears…zero in...

This is for men, is there anything more painful
Than being hit 'tween the legs, no way to be graceful
You clutch at your groin
Animals do join
Baying at the moon reverting to their instincts prenatal

as a child 
i truly was
curious and
always did
pick things
from out my
bellybutton

then it was
the usual
not so much
such things
as sunflower
seeds or the
occasional

blueberry
but the

belly is
reverting
to the
bump
of

a baby

Might I'm wielding,
Coping dealing...
Blight unyielding,
Prying, peeling.

Writhing turning,
Twisting churning...
Mindless  yearning,
Lauding, purring.

Stomach keeling,
Curdling, reeling...
Now  repealing,
Good sense of being.

Thoughts  reverting,
Sleepless,  spurning...
Legs-a-stirring,
Nae adjourning.

Whipping wheeling,
Grip congealing...
Hope that  healing,
Smites these feelings....

The wind blows free in my valley
Bending giant trees to her will.
Sometimes from the north, such anger spews forth
That even the sun feels her chill.

Clouds scurry around to obey her
In fear she’ll devour them as well.
In her primal pain, she lures gentle rain
To join in her demonic spell. 

In moments, fury abated,
Reverting to sweet-tempered breeze,
So mellow and light she seduces night
And vamps bright daybreak with her tease.

Won no. 3 in contest...
