Short Throaty Poems

drawl

slow, easy, breathy,
like butterscotch in the sun.
flows across the air
clings languidly to the ear.
throaty whispers rise like scent....

winter’s throaty drink
melts on the cockapoo’s tongue -
fresh ice cold blizzard

Neck resting on the crook of my arm
gentle throaty murmur, content, calm.
Moonglow eyes no longer bear the weight of day
and slowly set. She gently drifts away.
I too must sail the night realm where she goes
but not yet- please, not yet...

Summer's breeze ruffles my hair
while pale moonlight glows
and waves kiss the sandy shore
as the calm tide flows.
A Whippoorwill fills
the night with rhythmical songs
in sweet throaty trills.

The echoes
of children's giggles
and laughter in the night
have long died down;

the house
has become unbearably hollow,
as though the very life of it
has just been sucked out;

once again,
it has become a cage 
seeking a bird that hasn't lost
its throaty song....

SOUNDS   I   LIKE

Hiss of waves in seas
Wood being hand-sawn in chunks
Howling wind through trees
Key in lock heavy oily metallic clunks

Baby’s gurgling at a bottle teat
Cat’s  throaty purrs on my knee
Man’s  whistling at  work  in the street
Kettle being filled with water for tea...

The wind was crawling through and through the trees,
and through again your hair as dark and thick 
as fog, my fingers curled all through it, like
a breeze your lips came near my ear, a soft
and throaty whisper poured all out and lay
as calm as grass and stillness of the hills....

Throaty, rhythmic guitar rolls
Across the room and calms my hands.
His voice, like a cigar box angel
Pokes around my insides and opens my mouth-
It finds plenty of nesting spots.
I wait for you to turn around
To see each word he has sung
Poking out of me in relevant locations....

I love you wild and free
From midnight to the dawning spree
When broken glass startles the mirror
Our love grows clearer

Through fortune and nebulous climb
Tucked into each other's sides
By mystic banter and throaty relief
Holding still in our belief
That love summits grow
With each passing leaf...

Weep with me

I hold my breath in
I won't let this free
 There's no stilling this ache
That's inside of me
The grief and the pain
Rip away and break out
To flow like a stream
From my eyes and my mouth
A high, keening sob,
A deep, throaty sigh,
Escape with great force
And I finally Cry.

Variscite and seraphinite scythes slice the upper spheres with precision,
As their blades rub their rainbow ribbons in the boreal breeze,
Their surgical incisions of incandescent crystals cauterize the carnelian excisions,
Letting breathe once more the solar winds which whistle in its throaty wheeze....

Spring morn's glistening dew
Seems a love affair
As it coats the rose
Dances upon grass
Evaporates too

Throaty song birds
Those lovers flirt
Then feed their young
Spring's miracles 

Earth's springtime
Arousing
Dawn~earth's yawn

Dusk rests
Creatures

Small

A little bee flew across the sea, to see what he could be
He herd a giraffe with a throaty laugh : still continued on his weigh
This pour we bee had too pee  so he stopped on a Specific Ocean Eyelid
It took him severed ours to pollinated  Pollynesian flours and than he flue away
If Yew can reed this rite yore a better POET then Eye...

I shift my jacket close as wind blows past,
perched upon this dull, gray massif of rock,
below the throaty call of raven’s squawk,
cannot stay long, in Fall the sun won’t last,
cold can make a man run out of gas,
but rolling vistas make a soul take stock,
ridge upon ridge, all view of cities blocked,
shut right out in my stark, high peaks holdfast....

Feel the sun closing in, rustling
Throaty laughter, whispers of light
Caressing my breath, gentling
Blushing kisses, wonders of birdsong
Crooning, reflecting the psalms
On wings of azure, crimson, sable
Just August… silencing the summer

What icy wind has brought this darkened day
it hearkens to the depth of it's bowel
from this day hence,until the month of May
like the lonely wolf mates, deep throaty howl
to breathe is almost like a winter fray
as so dost the Arctic Polar Bear scowl
My heart yearns for the budding in April
Thus will quell this winters foreboding shrill



Tough style!...

The Tui opens his throat and sings
A beautiful sound that summer brings
Welling up from deep within his chest
Bursting forth his joy expressed
He begins at dawn with throaty trill
Greets the morn in unrestrained thrill 
Singing all day with nary a care 
Right until darkness in the still night air 
The personification of freedom is he... 
A lover of life living wild and free...

The echoes of children's 
    giggles and chuckles 
        have faded away down 
            the long tunnel of time.


Quiet, the old house 
    is now unbearably hollow, 
        as though the very life of it 
           has just been sucked out.


The living room is now
    an empty nest longing
        for birds that haven't 
            lost their throaty songs.

Hester's a jester. Gutteral laughs.
A throaty, Ha! Ha! Bathe me in it.

Healthy and complete, please delete
All sadness, letting in only good stuff.

I can't get enough of Hester, a Jester.
More, more! Exclaiming with my glee! 

Be free. Break smiles to unbridled joy.
Not coy, with your gift to bring mirth.

I give birth to my girth to hear you so.
Stay, stay with me, and don't ever go....

to the east, you read every word 
to the north, not a peep is heard 
in my heart a deficit  
do I give more than I’ll ever get 

on Facebook I leave zinging quips 
on twitter, truth seeps from my lips 
in between, there lives a gap 
filled with lustrous, throaty gasps 

in my prose I write with thought 
sometimes loved, sometimes not 
no music to the lyrics yet 
write it soon ‘fore I forget...

being Born is still new:
        UP
./         \ON strong wings after long
Rainy throaty days i grew
while wet-horny drops 
      +died+ seeping into mother
earth and her musty-moisty
soil; the oak's branch 
reached toward Death
(its bark loud & rough)
. the vision of the exotic
Specter too reached out
toward me and bowed while
shedding crimson tears for
      my strange Existence.

fear to uncover a mysterious pain
reach a depth of darkness hell
she blocked me out, and 
heaped hills within hills
masked her ravaged heart 
with forceful smile
her lips stayed shut, yet
spoken without a sound
crumbling body ruins, 
banned from a touch of love.
wistful eyes drowned 
in a floating tears
throaty voices rambles
with a shrilling voices
in a haughty wall, oppressed,
is where she lays in frail...

Six ticks enough for me
Sort shelter at the home for less
Broken dreams of hearts desires
Resided in the home of less
Mental strain an back pain
The price to enter the
Home of rest
Moaning an groaning a common theme
For those in the house of best
Tall stories an throaty laughs
Lift the spirit of those condemned
To the house of jest
But it doesn’t replace
The family home
Children an lifelong friends
God bless
The home

Flame the night with fire
Burn the freezing mood of love higher,
Be no lies, disguise but butterflies
Enrapture me with those tenacious auburn eyes,
Warm sweet breathes on every curves
Luscious hushed throaty husks,
An awaiting eclipse
With the soft colossal of our lips,
Tell me more when all are pitch-black
Fill me in with that euphoric halt,
Break the fog of dawn with reality
Smeared a smile while your arms are wrapped around me......
