The Snail

I was clean shaven when I
spotted a snail going by
I watched for a while
as he went half a mile
now my beard's reaching down to my thigh

Peek a Boo

Etched between two pines 
                             shaven mountain crest

Wilt

soda stream pops
gargles are gurgled
mischievous meanders over moss
jutting chins of fresh shaven
intrusive rocks
sunlit tendrils stroking at the seams

Premium Member Buzz Cut

Sirius is approaching the gate
dragging the hot and humid like bait.
	Scorching dog days are back.
	A violent attack!
I fear I will burn my shaven pate!

It Love 2k11

It love requires not colognes - nor perfumes, It requires not make-up nor a shaven. Luxuries nought - when hearts are light as plumes; Most thrive most selflessly in love's haven.

Premium Member Clean and Sober

So for
My mother
Here’s another
If life’s a game
Then I’m not doing well
But clean shaven
Clean shirt
Clean and sober
You can’t tell

Premium Member Good Morning Caring Loving Father-

salutations
Oh greetings from nature's door
the forlorn sun rises high from slumber
God's eyes seeing me He spies
creation bound shaven remade born again

All and Above

Finely broken glass
filters through 
my picture heart
from where puzzles start
inside tainted walls 
or none at all
shaven and prickly too
In between
on random moons you glowed
melancholy from all and Above
spinning
spinning
spinning !!

Premium Member The State of His Hair

Girls and boys
pick up your toys
Your playground
has been shut.

There’s a man out there
with greasy hair
hellish hankering
in his gut.

That’s what we thought
till Joey’s father was caught.
He was clean shaven
with neat crew cut.

Displays of Affection

Unfortunate isn't it
That we only see a roses beauty
Once its been plucked away
Torn from it's roots
Shaven thorns
Simply there for 
self preservation
Put up nicely in a bouquet
to look like the rest
But as for me,
I will kiss your thorns
I will leave you at home
You don't belong to me

When She Closes Her Eyes

Firm, full olive breast a virgin, at twenty three?
Perfect as beauty yet, her true candy
Awaiteth just below...
Purity, smooth as dreams
She beckons..
Shaven, with traces love's,, cream....
Her lips, whom glisten; parting skies; tinted
Blonde tresses curls, tossed to the side such, her joy.

Premium Member guilty by tattoo

Though opposed by federal court
Trump’s sport-like media report
Features flights at night
With head-shaven blight
And the hog-walked men we deport

What slave asks for anything more
Than a rave in El Salvador?
With expenses paid 
In dirt they’ll get laid
While six million bucks pays our whore

Premium Member Skeleton

the two day stubble 
helps her grasp 
my face in her hands 
and the obvious chaos
clean shaven, i’m smooth, 
hard to hold, 
providing misdirection,
and appear faster than I am
i’ve slipped away before
staring into my eyes, 
she sees my substance 
what i’m made of, the bones
how different my structure
from my words, my actions

I See New Niger Coming

& i see the clouds
smiling beside
my war-fed clan
they come, wearing
some new garments
behind the flood-gates
the forlorn gates
of old niger’s maidens
clean shaven
are the elders
now clean’d of
just yesterday’s beards
elderhood is gone!
siting on mat
aweful are their looks
they see nothing
of this new new moon
coming
to the homeland
oh, niger!

Candelit Voices

"Clean shaven memories remain
stuck in silence waiting to scream"

Voices sing out in adulation
inflections bending an ear
float me off   to be
lit eye interior arranged
to be blown away 
with heavenly wings

Candlelit flickers imagine 
soft breeze kisses  await
crisscrossed oceans and moonbeams 
aired along whispered dreams
folded up neatly
cascading my way

This Picture

I'm waking up
I'm calling you
you're in the shower
what to do
you're nails are painted
hair is braided
legs are shaven
what to do
this picture tells a story
of a girl
in love with you
you're on the phone
with cam and amy
telling bout your
life's so crazy
making plans
to see a movie
life's so crazy
what to do
this picture tells a story
of a girl
in love with you

Feeling Hot

It was middle noon
on the deserted street.
Nobody will come out
to greet the sun.

You will lift the fallen leaves
to soften the blow,
corrupting the morality
crouching in the shadow.

A slumber was needed
to get the head shaven.
Touching the dust,
the heat, the winds.

Dig a sinking hole
deep in the heart.
It will suck all your tears
all your salt.

Unlikeness

I used to know a poet. His slovenly disheveled poems reminded me an alcohol-prone loser’s beard, but in person he happened to be a clean-shaven, well-tailored gentleman who hasn't had a drop since Bicentennial. And sometimes it's just the other way round: aristocratic rhymes on closer examination turn into dipsomaniacs.

poets and their poems
don't resemble each other -
poets die poems don't

I AM GREEN

    I love the colour of my skin,
    Au naturel suave evergreen.
    From head to toe, and deep within,
    Each part of me, feels so serene.
    Even the bristles, on my chin,
    Tonsured daily, smooth shaven clean.
    The only difference, with my twin,
    While I am green, he's tangerine.
    Hereditary, our kith and kin,
    Diverse within the human gene.

Premium Member Distant Hill

trees lined up like an army
on the side of the hill,
looking beautiful and worn,
clean-shaven for Winter
and still in the cold —
under the moonlight
this is but a little hill
they take. my eyes
see this distant sight
nary a driver will see,
eyes on silent stare.
bare, leafless trees,
lined up so perfectly,
stiff their salute, finding
no footfall in the dark.

The Cornfield

The cornstalks vanished overnight
Shaven fields once flowing, green and gold
Now Dad’s evening whisker stubble 
Ghost limbs of the cornfield

Flocks of nomadic Ravens
Feast on the invisible
And scowl with those empty black eyes
Impervious to man’s judgment

And I think,

There is nothing as beautiful 
Than the first snow on a barren field
Shadows playing with the evening light
And dance among the vacant mounds

That Chance

Not before I saw your eyes
Had I believed that such a fey
Would come to me and liquidize
My being with what they do ray
What your sight does to me
Is not something I can explain
For there's nowhere Id rather be
Other than where you do reign
If asked, I can promise heaven
For you to give me the chance
But really, a love clean-shaven
Is going to be the balance
You'll get for being considerate
Of letting me be your mate

Ancient Voices

All bareness forgiven
  the razors gone dry

The excuses all shaven
  no more asking why

A soul once abundant
  my face starts to fill

No sentence redundant
  no lines to go shrill

New destiny chosen
  man’s burden unsung

The look becomes learned
  masculinity sum

All chains have unshackled
  a face that goes deep

A beard now awakens
  —ancient voices that sleep
