This snowglobe-like heart of mine
inheres snowstorms, yet it is
tamed by a human-skinned, bright
sunfallen one: you.

As a little boy
Hypnotized by gyrating
Hips and bare navel
As an adult man
Light-skinned exotic women
Always more preferred

That day you said “No”
I was skinned alive
on the abattoir of rejection
bleeding my heart has been
agony burns as flames
of hell set loose on me

Secret Asian agent potato man
can do wait a Secret Asian agent potato can
He climbed a hill
which and the mill
Then fell down and skinned his man peel

My heart was skinned when you left.
And the sutures were just removed.
I have been to the doctor and the healing.
The scar is a reminder of the thrust.

I do not know?
I don’t limit who reads my verse,
only who I answer
Each word thick-skinned and armor-clad
all questions zero-sum

There once was a light-skinned pachyderm
Who had a thing for a lowly worm
Sun-bathing on the hot sand
Elephant got quite a tan
Poor worm earned him a wiggly sunburn

The bass and perch are both spinny-finned.
Whereas sand dollars are spiny-skinned.
Sea urchins and starfish are spiny-skinned too.
I love my world book which is totally brand new!

If I scraped my elbow
Or skinned my knee
From childlike falls,
(Scars I still carry)
GrandDaddy would laugh
And say with a chuckle,
"Ahhh, now, son...
It'll heal 'fore you marry."

One quality about myself that I know for sure
is that I'm much more thick skinned than others give me credit for,
otherwise so many I encounter would be left unconscious laying flat on the floor.

If you take off my skin, I won’t cry,
but you will, what am I?
It's true, I just skinned one myself and now I'm crying everyone.
I should have worn protective eyewear before peeling this onion.

I skinned a fish with my right hand
Scent lingers it doesn’t smell grand
I’ve washed my hands twice
They STILL don’t smell nice
It’s something I don’t understand!

traffic back ups
sweaty country boys
bare skinned
cowboy hat wearing farm boys
wild country girls
wearing shorty shorts
swimsuits tops and flip flops
who worry about melting make up
in the blazing July sun

Silky white, pink-tinted petals pushed by dreaded zephyr
They brush against cheeks; comfort sensually skinned
Delicate, freshly bloomed, fall like widows who have wept
I should too if not for ignorance willfully kept

Sister Lucille enjoys skateboard riding
Weather and her arthritis providing
Lucille has skinned-up knees
From banging into trees
She has never mastered her colliding.

Solve.
Snail trail troll tongue hooks
Slick word trick time - bomb ticks...ticks...
Salt fire disssss solves pace.
Salve.
Wildfire fear spreads hate
Smear silver salve to calm burns
Balm soothes skinned heart...

ALL THE LEAVES HAD NAMES
after the poems
creaking stanza’s
of beds versed
in her hurt
skinned from bare heart
a shroud lay warm
on the floor
all the…
leaves
had
names

Unguarded, from out that pit
For heart's place, capacious
Burn on up, Desiring's brood.
Winged vipers, rapacious.
There's luxury's diamond-backed
Skinned regeneration.
And lust, more horrid looking.
With reddish streaks thereon.

Oh! beautiful bronze
Brown skinned woman
You need no man's validation
Yours already pure untainted
You're God's Holy daughter
... and He God loves you

my punishment
was to loosen my tight skinned face
needles filled with doctor tails
placed up in my gums
donnish rotten flesh
bloated face
saggy skin
bruised under my eyes
why because slave
should never try and be free

People watch figure
Attracts everyone
Motivate body care
Sculpting soul capture.
Black is beautiful
Chocolatey smooth
Healthy, sporty
Pure esthetic.
Dark-skinned Apollo
Living sculpture
Women daydream
Elders forgotten thoughts.

Tired
Of political correctness
Cultural awareness
Sensitivity.
Tired of everything
Being an excuse
A syndrome
A disability.
Tired of a society that's
Thin-skinned
Entitled
Oblivious.
The constant bombardment
Leads to indifference
At best.
Tired.

I see Asia
A short chocolate brown skinned woman with a friendly nature
Compassionate to anyone
A real mother or mentor figure
Her heart is bigger than you can imagine one
Any guy that gets her made a home run
Her personality is such a loved one

MOTH
Unsung butterfly of the night
Seen only in the murk
Eschewing the sunlight
Pale-skinned, huge-eyed, he will lurk,
His bulb-drawn silent face-
A morlock of the world of flies
Displayed in night-black case -
Against the cold glass lies.
