Short Salivation Poems

She found salvation in the stimulation of salivation,
As the solution of her saliva was so simple, 
Soothing her seared throat evenly against the savory smoke....

Fond of Food
By Franklin Price

Fond of foods that flood the mouth
With salivation sweet
Candy's dandy for dentists too
When we have some sweets to eat...

Loud we sway, those battle hymns
raunchy in bare light
Boulders broken are thrown wispy 
Celebrating day
Some have lost pebbles, dancer's
glowing method
at last fortune

Blows us bare to rust mired blue
Our poison palms
Heavy coughs let moist unto
Salivation ringing
Whereby lust so proud gathers
Beneath potent sky
on borrowed time...

Teach em to reach em
Don’t blame them for not knowing
So many live with scattered hearts 
Yet they still going
And some of the best that grow
Come from the bad parts
The best stories to be told 
Come from a broken heart
See its ok to fall victim
To some temptation
A true heart will never spark
Without self salivation
You earn the right to grow old
A long and hard road
What could you do
To change a story that was already told...

Rice soaked and yellowed
in steaming, spiced curry
dance around the cooking bowl,
as they collide with chicken legs
and thighs once in a while...

My family sits around the table,
with anticipation visible
with their salivation. They can
smell a Swahili cuisine
from the dining room.

Patiently,
I wait for stew above the rice
to disappear,
then I give the green light
with sounds of cutlery
and wine glasses....

WANDERLUST


A subtle dab of perfume on the wind
autumn siren whispering
her song amid the trees.
Beguilingly peeking
from behind
leafs blushing fan.

The taste of salt upon the air
seasoning to tempt
adventures palate,
salivation at the ringing
of Pavlovian bells.

Imagination in the dust of vision
oasis in the sight of closing eyes,
unreachable horizons
barely touching
the edges of the wander lust.

The Seconds grew impatient
   As Anticipation aimed its dart
Hope sat erect at the table
   Compliments practiced their parts

Breaths were held as the Chef pirouetted
   The Piece de resistance proudly poised
Triumph on a smooth, sleek glass surface
   To the accompaniment of Merriment's noise

Paradise was but a dimly lit candle
   Beside the Pheasant's brilliant blue flame
Exclamations burst forth midst salivation
   The Proud Bird had earned Highbrow acclaim...

Salivation of intent
mouth watering, ne'er extent
I must envision
in practice risk content!

Salvation must be real
or I am only spent
to chew away the corners
unreasoned with resent!

What is then in God's order
surviving daily task
to walk some safety's border
insuring my relapse!

My actions must stay forward
in diplomatic stance
the hungry heart's affording
must emphasize ~ enhance!

Starvation as encumber
eliminating class
is not a Godly answer
but usury's repast!...

Petite-o-tat-oes, baked 
of a fiery oven
Crispy skin
as spud's innards
fluff into a hot
morsel of delight
Butter-drowned 
sour cream, spices                         

Romaine lettuce wedge
french bread-fresh-baked
creamy brie, Pinot Noir
tantalized taste-buds
Like a hot fudge sauce
effused 
onto stone-cold
tutti-frutti
sensate's tongue tip

Salivation!
timer 
hums
readiness - 
Delectable 
Consumption
of crispy, savory
Petite-o-tat-oes

To blue flames 
set-ablaze  
dessert of 
"Cherries Jubilee"...
