a Big Mac wrapper tumbles

devilish smiles
candy wrapper evidence
crinkling in pockets

If the message complex,
the delivery simple

The meaning the magic,
the words zero-sum

she grabs me
by the stick
unbuttons my
wrapper and 
begins to lick

only 
to find
an old five
cent price from
nineteen sixty six...

a wrapper of gifts, so neat,
made every present a treat.
but with paper and bows,
the chaos just grows.

gift wrapping feat hard to beat.

A tiny smear 
as wrapper opens
will power 
down the drain
silken smoothness
chocolate silk
dark as thunder
smooth as glass
slides down throat
with velvet delight...

dark choc peanut butter cups
i crave their sweetness
devotion to my diet ...
the wrapper remains untouched

If you are going  soon to die,
Swallow plenty  candies in a wrapper.
I know! You want to ask me:- Why?

Because, for you it does  not matter,
But the pathologist will be pleased
To drink tea with delicious sweets....

This dummy had sex without a wrapper.
But he really just wanted to tap 'er.
He thought he was smart.
But now he's lost heart.
He's not really feeling all that dapper.

Thanks to Andrea Dietrich for the second line. Who knew ha? :)...

.   
                 in a nettled field riddled with foxtail that pricks the sun
                     a Popsicle wrapper clings to a thistle in sweet surrender
                          remembering the yesterdays of bare feet and blue jeans...

Kept for preservation, iced and freezer burned inside and outside. 
Faded and frosted in a foiled wrapper, unfold the sweet love bite. 
Temptation defeats, a sweet-tooth, I concur, I ate the chocolate.

To write a poem 
I've no words, no words.
My heart sings alone day or night.
I feel down because no feelings are sown.
I'm a loser , a loser!
No thougts strike my mind to move a pen on sheet of paper
Nor I've joy to open my dreams wrapper.
My dreams are black as thoughts are blank.
I'm a loser , a loser....

I stare at the floor
the same wrapper has been there for three weeks. 
Blinds shut.

~~~~~

Three weeks since I have felt sun. 
The idea of walking out the door was chilling. 

The storm has passed, a phoenix from the dark.
A sun smiles down on my skin. Though the journey is not over,
just enjoy this....

Waves crash
Your wrapper crumples
Thrown into the crazy waters
Killing the creatures in the coral
Little by little
Commonly found everywhere
Floating
Caution in the water
With chemicals creeping
Coastline to coastline 
Laced with pollution
Fish collide with waste
Communities and ecosystems
Decimated...

afloat on a drifting thought
about how she turned out
to be really right

     about how wrong he was
     in brushing her mood away
     as part of the night;

now he feels discarded
as a crumpled wrapper
there by the gutter,

     desolate as the chugging
     of the midnight train
     muffled by the rain....

I love to slurp up turtle soup
It always makes me want to whoop

Soft-shelled turtle or red snapper
Cut up and stripped of their protective wrapper

Like a thick gravy with turtley parts,
Little beady eyes and turtley hearts;

Chopped up into turtle stew,
Come on people try something new.

~For P.D.'s Turtle Soup contest~...

crumpled in my bed.
discarded,
like a candy wrapper or used condom.
Never mind the chipped nail polish
damp hair
old jeans.
beauty is in the breathing.
shallow
in and out.
chest rising, 
falling.
alive and sad.
call me a stack of pancakes.
it doesnt make me a stack of pancakes.
tell me i should be happy.
it doesnt mean a thing....

After Dieting


Me, finally free
I’ve untied my hands
And let them explore
Greedily

Soft and rigid 
Hard and pliable
Textures and smoothness,  
Merge

Grabbing a succulent treat
My fingers  grip
The lurid wrapper
Twist

I shovel the chocolate devil
Through parted lips
Madness consume me
A.D.

The gift that I give you is straight from heart,
it will not come with a wrapper or a box.

However, it is big, so huge that it can't fit
into a box. What is it? You may ask?

Why it's the best gift in the whole wide world!
It is all the LOVE that my mere heart possess,
from now until eternity my darling, I love you.

I wish I to be up there 
I wish to be down there
 I wish have the world in my pocket
I dream with my eye fully opened 
wish and dream

I dream being a king
I dream sleeping on golden bed 
I dream the world is mine
I wish my dream come true
dream and wish


great peoples are great
for people like us to hate 
likes of wrapper and veil 
likes of us in the world 
wrapper and veil...
