Little buds open
Birds sing from the tall green trees
And daffodils sway
In the gently blowing breeze
Cats watch dancing butterflies.

*Marian~
This is my first Tanka!
You burned out my eyes
with a handful of tears
You must think I'm a clock
as you are always
winding

me


up.
To wind up - play a prank or make someone angry by getting on their nerves
Lend me your ears
that I
may whisper
such sweet nothings
with little more
than
a hushered breath
it's touch
lingering but a moment

to long

upon your lobe
naked now
of all pretense  and flattery

my lips graze
spreading ripples
of pleasure

my tongue
probes teasing
as my kiss or' whelms you

open mouth ... closers

nibbling lightly
upon the phallas
of your *****

my breath heated now
my lips wet

and in my mind I wonder



are yours?
I am at at the bottom of the ocean
Baffled how I am still breathing
Wondering how I transcended
Viewing the world with 20 thousand leagues
Of liquid obstruction to distort my view
I am at the bottom of the ocean
The world does not pause
No one will toss me a line
It is my choice
Surrender to this aquatic haze
And possibly drown
Or belligerently swim to normalcy
The saltwater clouds my mind  
I am at the bottom of the ocean
I read this to a realist. She said, "Yea, you're tired." Oh' to view the world as a realist.
I'd
Like
To
Describe
Your
Beauty
But
You
Are
Ineffable
Chest tightens
Breathing restricted
At first, frustration
Next anger

Overwhelming need to write!
Deadlines, pressure, paperwork
Meetings, phone calls, computing
Children, dinner, errands
Building frustration

Explode!!!
Read, write, read,
Write!

Relaxation
Hello, stress relief.
So busy, not enough me time on Hello poetry. I know I'm not alone on this! Glad to be back, if only for a fleeting moment.
Her red luscious lips,
 repeat his name in whispers,
          such exquisite torture!
Abhorrent,  
                                                                       Baffled,  
                                                                                                                              Wavering!


Sort,           Culminate,           File.



Toss                                                  in                                                 Sanitation Dispensary
I have simple needs...

water
food
  warmth

and you.
