Hot House Flowers #1


there was something about the smell;
the house was exhaling something that
grew the young girls like hot house flowers
and swelled them at the same time like a bloated corpse
but I cursed my necrophilia like a guilty catholic and
enjoyed the beautiful blooms
and somehow I left behind
a seed of me

A Chinaman's Chance


the verdigris of a ripe solution,
the snail's pace of my absolution,
the morning that I fight off every day
responds to forces that unrelent and mold
themselves to my discontent like alabaster rain
or something like that

the salamander that lives only in china is
large and rare

Thank you Dime! Life has intruded on my creative space yet again - but I hope to stage a counter attack and drive the b a s t a r d (life) back just a little, providing at least a tentative rope bridge to that inner shangri-la that I miss terribly...

And contribute anything here whenever you want - I don't care if it sucks! lol

Thanks again for the kind words.

I Wanna Eat You



there was an asiago exhalation
in her expression and I
offered a MacIntosh apple
sipping merlot as was our wont
it just seemed right

there was a natural progression
toward wellness that
I crunched right into like a
golden delicious when she
skewered me with acupuncture
and I panted,
Yes

and then the gorgonzola hit me with
dried cranberries and walnuts and I
cringed with glee, my chin dripping
balsamic redemption in hebraic interludes of
compassion and guilt

all the olives of Sicily could not
make her tapenade

The Samsara Surfer


I didn't sign up for this
The last I remember I was asleep in the
Forest under graceful trees
When some son of a b i t c h
Seized me bodily and to my utter dismay
Threw me on a dirty boat

lifetimes then drifted and stars lived and died in the skies of my eyes
forty days and forty nights of ancestral bequests consumed the moon
which was my radiant face exposed for the first time, maybe understanding
maybe understood but nonetheless unable to repent or rejoice just to
accept the waves and the salt, the cries of bird and wind, the eternity of
the voyage linger in my every breath from before the fall to after Columbus
dismay and dissolution dance to eerie music in my private america, my body
moves to generational gyrations brought on by elvis while my soul left on the
midnight train some time ago and left behind all the luggage, whale bones and
dry starfish so out of place on the platform, at the train station.

I am ted turner and
Don Quixote the wise
intoxicating limericks for
lullaby eyes

I venture to know the sense of
Your mouth in the joyous days
Of Summer in the South

Fortunado is calling for venturesome
Capital as the pope calls for
World peace in a church in
Seattle

In a foolish vagabond excursion
I derailed a train in houston

why do I love your hands?

everywhere i go is an opportunity
for that chance meeting
with you

In India there are thousands of Jain Monks, in categories like Acharya, Upadhyaya and Muni. Trainee ascetics are known as Ailaka and Ksullaka in the Digambar tradition.

There are two categories of ascetics, Sadhu (monk) and Sadhvi (nun). They practice the five Mahavratas, three Guptis and five Samitis:

Five Mahavratas

* Ahimsa: Non-violence in thought, word and deed
* Satya: Truth which is (hita) beneficial, (mita) succinct and (priya) pleasing
* Acaurya: Not accepting anything that has not been given to them by the owner
* Brahmacarya: Absolute purity of mind and body
* Aparigraha: Non-attachment to non-self objects

Three Guptis

* Managupti: Control of the mind
* Vacanagupti: Control of speech
* Kayagupti: Control of body

Five Samitis

* Irya Samiti: Carefulness while walking
* Bhasha Samiti: Carefulness while communicating
* Eshana Samiti: Carefulness while eating
* Adana Nikshepana Samiti: Carefulness while handling their fly-whisks, water gourds, etc.
* Pratishthapana Samiti: Carefulness while disposing of bodily waste matter

Male Digambara monks do not wear any clothes and are nude. They practice non-attachment to the body and hence, wear no clothes. Shvetambara monks and nuns wear white clothes. Shvetambaras believe that monks and nuns may wear simple un-stitched white clothes as long as they are not attached to them. Jain monks and nuns travel on foot. They do not use mechanical transport.

Digambar followers take up to eleven Pratimaye (oath). Monks take all eleven oaths. They eat only once a day. The Male Digambar monk (Maharajji) eat standing at one place in their palms without using any utensil.

thoughts leading up to an orgasm



there are flecks in your eyes like
intrusions in quartz crystal
infusions of trapped
life
waiting to
melt

there are scars deep inside
me that your love can't
touch

there was a small bird this morning
who tilted his little head and looked at me

there are places within me like chambers in a cave
vaulted ceilings in a towering cathedral
the abyss of the sea
bottomless

there was a time when I loved you more than I
could love myself

there is a place somewhere
free
of daunting possibilities where
we can
smile

Punchin' the Clock...


Alaska has bruised me with
All of the north
And I find comfort in not
Being there like I
Imagine the comfort of
Death

To go north is not a
Requirement by any means
But it helps

The charity of wednesdays morality
Challenged in intent and
Timing
All the while unwinding
In sense and
Color
Becomes quickly
Lost
Amidst the
Tundra

Can people used to
Workdays
Facilitate
Spent
Time?

In the eyes of a
Bear there is no respite
But nations of hopefulness
In a perfect remembrance
A complete semblance
Of you and
Me

blankets of ghost voices
riding into the mist
exultant becoming
the wind is in
my face and
my horse's mane is
shaking like
old bones in a candlelit dawn
of becoming
closer

unfathomable bells ringing
silent intonations
resound
hoofbeats on the heavy air
sodden

the end of sadness
curses lifted
the land
sighs

sometimes


sometimes I want to choke a poet to death because
life can't be expressed and limited to creeping words on
temporary pages

sometimes I want to start screaming and never stop because
this experience can't be explained by trite
playfulness

sometimes I almost feel like everything might someday be
ok

Thank you for gracing my thread with your powerful words.

Check out a book called "The Disappearance of the Universe" by Gary Renard. He has given me a wonderful new perspective on Jesus and his teachings and message.

Must come from unseen hands
Guiding your pen.

If death masks were enough to
Smother thoughts of you
I would melt down the gold from my soul to
Fill the
Void.

Vain is the day I live with you in
My rearview mirror
And you lie in my
Metatarsals
Like
Desert sand.

I long to live without you
Like I long for the Spring after
Too much Winter.

God I want you right now
And you are so far
Away

Why?

The Wanderings of Fortunado, Part I



Fortunado wandered watery
Harbours grey with incessant rain
And wondered at the misty ways of the
Wet world.

His mind was divided
Partitioned into regions
States on a schoolboy map
With different weathers and
Physical features
Emotional creatures we are
He mused.

There was comfort in the rain
The coast of Oregon in his mind
Was a friendly place he left behind
That caused him very little pain,

But there was also New England rain
Interminable as a puritanical sermon
Swamp-like and smothering or
New Mexico rain, always shockingly
Cold and foreign on a blazing hot
Summer's day, as mysterious as
The desert spaces like the
Darkest places on the map of his
Mind...

I love the sunshine on my penis
the tickle of the breeze on my pubies...
