Short Voluminous Poems

"Voluminous sweet
                            She bought me one and then leave
                                      On her grave I give"....

To Ginger...

I had a glass of voluminous spirit...
hoping to taste the ripples of time...
but all i could taste was the bitterness of ginger submerged in the sourness of lime....

Elephant Ears
Hanging low and voluminous too,
Try to hide them they do,
But always they show--
To fondle them, kiss them, nuzzle them,
Ich liebe "Elephante Ohren"...
It's a German term

I need words-
Good words-
Words as voluminous
As a circus tent
That comes with a zipper
So that I can envelop myself
In their resplendent expanse,
Seal myself in,
And still have enough space
To dream...

rose petals on breeze
a dress up gown for downtown
mouthwatering cake

a moonlit sunset
cushioned beauty and comfort 
voluminous drapes

noon butterfly's wings
garden of my bleeding hearts
flame trees and parrots...

This healthy young girl weighed 200 pounds
Was known for spreading her charms around town
Her weight was a problem
She had way too much bottom
She smothered poor lads with her “voluminous downtown”

Like the marathons of my
  forgotten youth

I now shy away from the 
  longer poems

Sprinting restlessly anxious
  through the waning light

New moments explode
  —the old voluminous tomes

Tatiana
Lush crimson lips
Eyes sapphire blue
Voluminous blond curls
Exuding exotic perfume 
Her silken gown swaying
In a sensuous pirouette
The gazelle avoiding
Her predator

In velvet vale of verses

Valentine day, a valour vibration 
Violating voluminous vanity
In velvey vale of verses

Serene sentiment soars
Softly in solitary sky
In velvety vale of verses

Rose and rosette rumble
Rousing romantic rush 
In velvety vale of verses....

I have a favourite type of girl,
Nothing wrong with that
I love my ladies ample
Like beautiful Fat pat
Also Porkus Dorcas
And Obese Louise,
Glandular Angela
Gives me a good squeeze
I love voluminous
I love them rounder
I love them full bodied
Because rounder is sounder...

A Galactic Prose of Words 

Galactic is my sum of life
Voluminous treks without the strife
Didactic how my teacher taught
To use the words that I have sought
In proper syntax to speak right
Continue on the Milky way
a Galaxy of words to say

Jeremy Clarkies underpants,  voluminous they’re not
They’re oh so very tiny, but Jerry thinks they’re hot
Though Jeremy appears to be, big and tough and strong
In reality he likes to wear, a silky, lacy, thong
These garments can constrict a bit and often bring a tear
But a little pain is worth it when you know you’re in top gear...

What are the colors of Love
Its shapes and various sizes?
My God! To even venture a guess
I would need to know
all Love’s secrets
and voluminous disguises--

And yet, my love,
in the course of the day
in a year
or a lifetime or two,

if forced to part
somewhere along 
the unfortunate way

I know, my heart
missing you, could never 
make do…....

A Cause and Effects

Richter scale gets dynamic
Seismic activity is registering
Voluminous debris goes errant
Birdless skies turn smoke-bound
Land beasts scurry about cornered
Afterward, man gasp-nature acts asap

Capacious, my heart 
brimming fervid with emotion
voluminous as the sea

Waves of passion pitching turmoil
in tumultuous storm
launching forward in acrimony

Torn is my emotion
as the torrid winds are blowing
which way am I going?
ever ebbing and flowing
until once again
even and calm

Sound of surf overlapping
white froth on sand slapping 
low tide uncovers me...

Formations in the sky,
Sculptured by the wind,
An array of figures appear, 
From an angel to a dolphin's fin.

Framed by Autumn's gift,
Of endless painted trees.
Majestic, voluminous shapes change instantly,
With a touch of a wind-swept breeze.

The brief display of nature's sky art,
Becomes etched in the mind.
Cloud characters are just another way,
That nature gives us signs....

I spoke to God
using prayer and sign--
to which there was no
reply;

I spoke to God
using tears and sigh, 
running out of ways
to try;

I spoke to God
I spoke to God
enunciating, making certain
my speech quite clear

still I could not hear
over seagull’ chatter,
voluminous sea and sky
for nigh
a great storm.

I spoke to God
I spoke to God
till all was calm
with silence....

The Dancer and the Duende

Red skirt! Lithe body! She dances!
Flagging voluminous curtains of crimson, 
daring the Duende to charge ---
she catches
his face, 
his beard,
his breath;
stealing its petals with her teeth, she spins!
Dared to take it back,
he comes,
seizing the dusk with both hands,
for tomorrow, 

the hibiscus in her hair will be dead.

resting by a garden path, I watched them lean into each other
like sodden loofers in a warm pool

then they rose to walk away and her voluminous dress, (silk)
danced a parachute ballet, caressing his tanned, mottled shins

and not heeding the peeling bell, he took her by the hand 
to watch the balletic display...Coppelia or Giselle?

and he mused... would'nt it be swell to dance like Nureyev,
in $1000 shoes?...

GREENY MIX OF VITAMINS AND PROTEIN

clenching my fork —
in my garden of leafy
goodness,
                      a ladybug

salad sweats,
running
into the trash heap.

forgotten tines and teeth
release voluminous vitamins and protein
to sow what they reap,
bottom of bowl weeps…

but I’m okay with that!

Swollen lips
Caressed by intuitive fingertips
Rushing vital principle
Awakening warmth invincible

Splashes of crimson for pallid veneer
Quickened breath; heady whispers so near
Hammering hearts clamor through framework frail
Essential substance…hidden by such slight veil

Exploration of senses; hesitant haste
Surrendering all for one lurid taste
Eternity hanging from such as this…
Voluminous stirrings from only a kiss....

A Tyrant of black
Lounging in his tower of glass
Surveying all his domain

A Merchant of gold
Sitting in his mansion of bronze
Calculating in his voluminous ledgers

A Soldier of grey
Patrolling his streets of stone
Upholding the nations peace

A Worker of brown
Toiling at his labor in a steel factory
Trying to feed his starving family

A Man of white
Walking the brick alleys of a world in decline
Seeking the necessities he rarely has...

I tried, I failed, I tried again
I lied, I bailed, once more I sinned
But I got back up
and smacked down the cup
That emptied me so
Of my plenty and fallow

My drink became drought
On the brink of my doubt
I stood in the luminous numbness
Full of voluminous glumness
And decided to stop for good
Provided that I could

Done with despair
I am one squared
Over the distress
My motor of success
Continues to run well
As my issues are quelled...

The sultry night dispelled the light warm breeze,
As he snoozed on the hot sand of the beach:
She smiled and giggled, a dance of a tease,
Till she flew up quite far beyond his reach.

          He moaned; desire urged him to fly with her.

Could he zoom towards scintillating stars?
Achieve a love along the milky way,
Add her in his voluminous memoirs?
Search for passion in dark night's misty ray?
Summer silence held him in tangled blur.

Super, super, super 
Primordial stardust Jupiter 

So far away and voluminous gas
Multiple moons longlast

Beautiful whites, reds, yellows and browns 
Big SUPER just hanging and spinning around 

Expansive and looming large
Adventurous Sagittarius traveling and taking charge 

Spinning and spewing joy and good luck 
There are rings but no fear of being stuck

Just moving, going and spinning 
Big SUPER—so far reaching 

Oh, the big red spot
Big joy and good luck, I got...
