Mariam Rod. Our love waxes.
Collection V isn’t only a sum of outcomes of indulging with my close friends, its buildup was a dirty meandering of Twitter posts at different ladies. No boys; man — the dad.
The fair accusal would be my clandestine plan of ninety-five poems to be dedicated to Kendall Nicole Jenner, to show how much I consider her beautiful. But it isn’t here, for a lack of my freedom 💍. But thank God it's 14th of July.
It ends in my not understanding anything at all. What sages could call the time spent mulling over a stone; I met Leonor, Princess of Asturias, hence this prêt-à-porter scathe.
These fifty poems, I hope, will remain as a happy place to visit again ❤️.
In dreamlike states
it’s unlikely you’ll find a flame
something is the matter; you’re awake
for something new to share the space
an unlearning, a descending phase
and in the waiting, you bathe
and I’ll wait, hoping it isn’t just fate
let’s go somewhere on a date
catch new pages through weekdays
get up on our immersing bathe claims
like it'd take forever to hit the lakes.
Probably the few toes
heart to two toads
hard to deduce those
half swing at a time hoax
atchoos at the true rote
bent, mourn the clue tolls.
When it is time
and this day sides
like every other filed
then, it’s okay, fine
the candles, cake, and wine
the bass that hits, we dine
I’m drawn to yours pied
insatiable as shy
as the years commit
to our long framed fit
nosing no felt stitch
this day aims a beam
a sweet playing melody
a cloth that unfurls unending
my wife is on a new stepping
and sixteen this more, I’ll quill.
A phantom arm
one for each of my friends
have cares… use its hand
to its reach, you’ll find no end
once we lived with plants
a garden, a paradise of merriments
we gathered wads
names, and of the famed, all documents
oh they’d ask:
could I be parrot? I’ll be your pet…
a token advance…
say I’m mango, I was wherever you went
and how apart
when today, I make juice, seek revenge
it is my grasp
it doesn’t hurt, not as much as I pretend
for it’s really calm
same fingers flipping pages of the best.
It is when I’m grinding
frankly, wherever I’m biting
how do you see it on me?
it’s what page that amazes
avoiding what has been instilled
dictations with no score, but seen
it’s just me, just me, it’s me you see
in the spotlight, we’re on the scene
when you’re beyond, and you know me
all shows with a fee
in the meantime, when you teach
it’s everywhere you are baby.
…of the other sage
wiggle your legs and say
mummy, I am afraid
hold the band and say:
aid
mum you're first everyday
I see this, even on Sundays
when I'm awake
is it true, it is the same?
a very long day with no grey.
We rebellious
in the face fastidious
out of the haze serious
heat tissue rush
count the pace lush
huff heal, hush this dosh.
To sing to her willy-nilly
her time on the high street
pit-a-pat clock, known raft scene
hue yeast
posh's spoof screen.
Who did?
mood heed
for this switch
rue foot switch.
Pin the coquette
sum’s in the locket
hock the nugget
be careful marionette
it is worse with debts.
Servility and pulchritude
stair years, tree stood
heard ears, rich strewed
turn! of… all two allude
who is the galling wuss?
the birds who stool
rule…
the dogs who choose.
A bit, a bit, a bit
move a bit, inch neat
avoid the bit in your teeth
a bit left is the dream
the bit right is a twin
if not, the bit is in sheen
a bit, a bit, don’t cheat
my bite’s a bit, you’ll see.
Always a thing to give
…pruning
like tears of the grieving
and the day says evening
brunch not supper cleaving
here is a sprog crawling
his mum is crisp and unfriendly
some more heights if here gleaning.
Hi, bye
open fights
what’s the sigh?
I’ve had wholly-high oughts
painstaking towards rewards
comings of dispossessing ruts
avid dints in air, caught short.
In taking what isn’t yours
have a fade implore its course
when we met the door
odds were your cusp
maybe a bit too tough
in the end, what’s love?
I wait with the sleeveen
rampaging the reach;
closed bay of a dream.
Who else will they be?
from the tv to the settee
a porcupine in time’s degree.
I awake to find you asleep
true to what you believe
hen do, but I’m male you see.
The crisp in my fingers
digit’s choice to run over paper
tell of a tale thriving furlongs apart
I have no risible, you plummet desire
of an option to be smarter
a son, a daughter
a better partner
Mariam.
Breaking new day of empty columns
the percolator’s errant blunderbuss
poor afternoons of lucky doldrums
eve fish wrap horsefeathers reports
hamadryad’s sign off in abscission.
Sometimes I glean for the unheard
do I find the parson’s hidden gourd
deft, soft whispers—gritty intelligence
paperweight stay, and rote battement
there at the cynosure’s pouring brim.
As to how I must
to explain in carapace font
without your plain art-brush
I’ll blame direct tricks snugged
my perambulating with no focus
but I found a shape; it’s of us
our long time fortune blob
this of math in poetry bosh
I hope you like it as much.
Palms for arms
arms for palms
I’m Adam
no qualms.
Do not speak so plainly
if your taste is of idiocy
“I want a dad,” I’m screaming
come buy me my dreams
and enough of film sheen
the other bumps of stream
it is all in rhythm
your hoisting beam
from the very first inviting.
At all times, I have a whip
come by, cheer with a grip
your name is the slip
any different, or isn’t
we’ll have it written
come by this match please
I’ll reserve for you a seat
for Sundays bring everything
and when not looking
there is more to see
oh, the things I’d teach
you shouldn’t flinch
life is a beach
not a big wish
an ocean at least
tides never ending
our riles don’t win
who takes it gently
whose: what’s between?
has been, is having it
these curtains lead…
son, always breathe
have you a darling
drop the paddings
take in the party
the lorn for departing
I’m not all the beat
so much more to receive
there are kisses
thoughts to empty
in sharing umpteen.
I have a feeling
at home it’s dwindling
it’s one not to believe
by my age, I’ll give
of my sex, the spin
who’ll fetch the sheeve?
show me off as peevish
of the shun, I got feverish
and make me some tea
as you’d save a tree
in the shady, virtue signalling
of my dreams that are real
one is at ease
it is my fathering
my new family
along in the film
I got a new script
with all things
just as they seemed
with everything, loving
and none, beguiling
this is where I have been
with what’s on my mind freed
just how you do friendship
I’m doing real learning
where you’ll find my daddy
it’s simple, a breeze
as a Father’s Day’s reverie.
Is it really so
that change’s aglow
nor the politic a roll
if their colours rose?
for it too rose
as a go-cart goes.
Once a homily we crossed
the time has been tremulous
overhead remains a stratus
an umbel umbrella of truss
nobby, booby, this bust
that bar to be is what?
for I’ve seen pictures
and I can’t spell consort
with a yard, here a micron
to hold as a laniard does
from that player immature.
I’ll recycle my mistakes
in three rounds of stakes
so three to parade faith
in our old air balustrade.
I once spoke with a stranger
by these words; of a straddler
I caught on with a barmy fad
ricochetted off the arborical
refused pictures of my new car
but picked you, the pedestrian.
Poetry found in toiletries
hubris’ sump quizzing
habits at it wincing
convincing, it’s evening.
To it I agree
for it is steep
of deep sleep
my desirous greed
do the batting winks
so the burr it strips
from my plump nostrils
air needing his sill drees
telling brittle lip glib
silts in his breaking.
On an A-road fraught
broad as it is long
rotter rambunctious
I'd a stud in the trunk
…twenty-ninth junction
I wheedled ‘bout my bod
told him my swing left divots
never flagged to dangerous
the range of my anaclitic clutch
how about skive on kludge
a shuffle to get you on spot?
Coming along
elsewhere forlorn
hireling taut
roué emotions.
This place
its fleecing wait
all of its gritty waste
dreams of your waist
clips at my reaching grace
the fritz in my feign
I give, I breathe, I’m not afraid
not the ilk of change
grief hatch at your pane
weave music staves
to wearily potty say.
Even the miser’s brass
the best of riders’ gads
albatross starred persona
couldn’t spryly whack that
…my queen was the start.
Scion amity
ply on cavity
marathon waiting
carbon dating
jargon debating
humdrum dictating
prop, he isn't…
you perturb, I’m busy.
Raised eyebrows
tray high pounds
A.I mouse
brave shy bluffs
eh I fall
grey miles off.
Lordly accruing
your bodice I’m assuming
sadly, it’d be eschewing
casting aloof.
Belated, ill rated
infuriated, he’s hated
this statement
wig impertinent
to see him invigorated
he should rate it
tease as to his reasoning
weep a bit till he tweets
read to her his plea
greet her birthday and retreat.
Pruning as brooding
in truth, too stinking;
austere rift baffling
ye who’s hammering
the diff digging the fill.
Cars on cars
flanked in drags
schnapps on schnapps
sham in charm
past in the span
shards past sparks
traverse back; gad
darker had; stark
like cart hearts, knack
darts that appear
trad in starve
man, the brag
of raft on a path
in a canal of desire.
Drifting in grips
dibs per wish
cleave in niche
flipping fizz’s steam
duty grimly gifts
pitch peach, please
with sleeve stories.
Grad to raid
edict to grades
facts to change
heavy to say
barb to stay
least today.
Filch the witch
be the humming wren wings
glibly at the fallen sticks
this she forever sees
any whim, please get busy
not a crisis in shimmy.
Breeze
…she is
grease
…cravings
hank kin
…pal in creel
doobry
…batiste
hashish
…capisce
I fell in love lissome
that fair view from
now we have up qualms
gobbling gobs in records
…I ponder at all?
and it sums the question
…at which with gloves?
my promises of more
being the attending door
for records when you're sore
aliens, aliens, that was spur.
Drastic measures
habit pressures
khaki inspections
charges inflations
classic divisions
smash hit convictions.
Abbreviating jars
head the parlay in a snap
weaving frantic saps
sarky in their raps
sine qua non sceptre.
I know these laid pipes
they go everywhere but shy
as if to come uninvited and die
cos I’m dangerous and I’ll cry
for a no-fly zone is trying high
and these pipes are too wide
so give up and tell me the rhyme
where are the aliens? I have no time
do they dine with you in brine?
have they close doors and tell no lies?
come on ‘fore I‘ve no words for my climb
these pipes go deep, and I see light
though I must refuse your crime
letting me live from an uninvited whine
is it you won’t cry? bead after the grime
too, I hate chamomile
too, and carmine
I lie
I lie, I lie, the aliens, the stimuli?
I've no ed
it’s no use here
on your butt he said
and my attention was birth.
Congealed congested
unresolved preference
vitamin wastrel
standing sentence
he was beget
fed up to pretend
hampering misstep
memories of his best
see my first peck
first again like in death
my first text
as if to resurrect
but here it is clear
your remote breath
our wafting dirge
letter sounds in dearth
uncompromising of poets.
Psst
be this
yeast
it’d be
mist
you’d be magic.
Brevity in heavy spiel
everything in nothing seen
chemistry in impurity scenes
cabins in street view.
