sweetening the morn

       with honey-drenched melody...

                a cedar waxwing

If humanity lives in receptacles,
of houses,buildings and clubs,
and is like fluid,
mix in them like sugar crystals,
perfectly not to be found,
and sweetening it abound....

Number 2:

FLATTER



Watch that extra sweet tongue
That curls and swings and stirs
Sweetening the high strung
In clever touch that spurs

Patronizing her inner streets with cool lust-hawking
she’s compromising flaunted standards with kiss-talking
gentle but impolite
a sweetening soft fight
started like a hard script ending in sweet love making....

Sweetening is the morning due
      sheets of mist enveloping two 
     Shower curtain our naked view
   balmy gazes, we see right through 
     Sight to behold, her beauty true 
        saturated, midst honey dew...

"The winter wonderland here, through every window, 
The home filled with it's own wonderland,
With the music of old and cheer.
The Douglas fur with many colors,
The sweetening smell from the oven.
All is well, 
Happy Holidays."...

Chocolate - A Tanka Poem

I like my chocolate
It is sweetening and smooth.
Has it's matrix dark
And many cocoa sugars
When I eat it yum so chocolaty

Nepenthe- A solemn sip to relax like wine.
A grape like liquid from a freshly sprouted vine.

Yet it not doth to numb a pain- such as Nepenthe
as wine only sweetening my tongue and tooth to wealth

And only the Allah has gifted me his wine- because its soothes
rather be drugged to only pain that yet strentgthens like booze.

Red roses passion love, crimson, red eyes countenance
Red berries, sweetening neural, red skirt swirls like cyclone 
Red sea dipping fishes swimming 
Blood pumping to veins from
bank heart warm flows life
Blood Lamb is Jesus
Christ on Calvary 
Tree bled and 
Died rose
Again
Im
mortal

Early morning shivers
Steadied by steaming tea
Sweetening my tongue
Warming me 

The Towhee is calling
telling me to drink my tea
I tell him I have
Stop pestering me

The morning sky is crisp
Pine needles are dancing
Birds are all singing
Squirrels are all prancing

Light through the leaves
Painting them green
Early morning beauty
Enchants me...

Divisive, just like in the sad past
Ethnicity, yet again is his mast
Mouth sweetening for more votes to cast
Assuring in words to flabbergast
Glories used, which ended in a blast
Only to capture their poor hearts fast
God, always mentioned from first to last
Underneath his mind, money is vast
End please, the mandate for this outcast...

white roses (flora Queen), white berries, white teeth, snowy snow the earth, cloudy heavenly clothing, nature attires at pinnacle doves pick white berries sweetening
Purity is heavenly front line row, trumpet call
Heavenly robes descending
Angels singing rejoicing
Heavenly bell ringing
White throne judging
Judgment calling
Saints homing
Better days 
Ahead

With silver gleams
and golden beams
God gives us hope
with each new dawn

while birds flute
their nesting songs,

leaves bowing
to greening lawns

bees, buzzing and strumming blades, 
attracted by blossoms sweetening 
wilder glades...

Spring, a season of new life;
lifting dim hearts out of darkness
and strife--

Father, forgive us,
your children,
who foolishly stray--
hear us, our choir
of repenting voices,
humbly we pray....

honeyed flavor drips
        on watermelon’s core, pink
          flesh sweetening mouths
…a zing like nectar's fragrance
to thrill when popped rind gushes

breaths taste moist syrup
    earthy aphrodisiac
               when melon lips grind,
          … as he sinks his teeth in mine
nibbling juicy midnight love !

I'm just talking as if I don't know 
how to put the weight of mistakes 
on the scale anymore
a kind of beneficial oblivion 
capable of sweetening the sourness of mistakes

maybe I found the right way 
to lovingly tamper with disappointment
decreasing the violence of his damage 
and bringing it to a comfortable size
so that it fits in my jeans pocket 
and allows me to parade one more time like this:
the washed face of one 
who blindly trusts the very lie of his redemption...
