#NoPoo

Undone

babbles of hollow voices
whispers and giggles
what ifs what ifs
finger written on misted windows

the muse  has flown
smiling mockingly from silver clouds
at times gasping laughter ringing boldly
as the noises scratches into a crescendo

my quill bleeds no flowery words
nothing pretty comes of its ink.

The envy of wonder


i wonder
if you hear me
do you listen from there,
when I plead
into the darkness

do you know
just how much
and how often
do you think of when
can you feel the pull
every time your mind flashes
that certain draw
an exquisite ache

how it sears into all,
all those whispered vows
shared between you
and the dense night sky

damn, those envious stars
when they secret beckon
and twinkle to temp
such a sparkling tease

to become pure wonder



of
you

(NoPoo 198) Boy Soldiers

toy soldiers
all grown up
given Queen's shilling
signing dotted line
exams still ringing in ears

worrying mother's tears
proud father
son following footsteps
gathering at station
seeing him off

future cannon fodder
discipline handed down
age old traditions
covering
institutional bullying

vontracted compliance
memorise
name rank serial number
card and tags will identify
if deemed necessary

The weight of empathy times gravity


,(
and where
do you think
the parachute be

if not
laid out nice

in a big X
painted onto
the ground

),

now

hear this, nitwits
your eyes
were your own stones

like diamonds
only much more precious

where did they go to

or how much
did you get for them

,)(,

it’s cold

but not
I just crawled out
of the family home
having watched them
eat a bomb for breakfast

kinda cold  





#NoPoo.    pic: me


as I understand it there is now the option to use the #NoPoo tag when we post a poetry to our page. this is true for anyone in the site

what #NoPoo means to me is simple enough:  straight up, no frills, poetry driven

more than that though I think it defined the man in question very well both in his friendship and his writings

personally I’d love to see the tag used site wide. I think these books are have been graced with excellent examples of what #NoPoo means/ stands for

essentially, you are the people who created it much more than my sporadic contributions

it would be fantastic if you would consider using the tag when you post

(sorry bout the long winded-ness)

Just 👌🏻 ink, Eamonn, per your usual :p
It's nice seeing you 🦋

I appreciate the sentiments above and have been cognizant of using the #Nopoo theme as much as I can... whenever I can, actually. I was stoked to see it was created! I hope someday, that there's a limit increase to the amount of #themes we can add to our poems, increasing it from the current limit of 5 ...just a thought...

Warmest regards,
🌹-B

a perfect roar of joint salvation


Your thoughts
become my words
irrevocably enmeshed  
seamless in our linked collective
ideas fold into space
emotional synapses fire
breaking laws of known physics

where the heat between my legs
is a direct correlation
of symbiotic minds
souls brushing against joint salvation
with a need that claws flesh
we two simple beings
of such similar structure
fused of fortuitous fetishism
precise in perfect proclivity
predator meeting prey
my body 'lioness' stretches
as a scorching libido roars in calling
for that lifetime meaning

Only his body's ability is skilled
and carved to perfectly fit
to saturate and satiate
to spark enrage the flames
precisely extinguish the incessant lust

Being proudly unashamed
in thundering mutual cries of unity
from mouths full of decadence
from minds spurred of each other's infinite exotic individualism
finding the very core
of hopefulness
longing and dreams





This
is where your thoughts become my words.

d e f i a n c e

a lone green leaf
on a frozen bare tree


the lone
green eyesore
for the depths
of winter

flickers
yet stands
fast
in contrast
to the deep white
and the dark brown

no
it is not standing
against nature
it is nature
herself
showing
her defiant green.



#NoPoo...

(NoPoo 199) Ignored

ignored
as if no existence
beaten down
with silence
an opinion not worthy

beware saying anything
for it could offend
their sensibilities
but rebellion
is freedom

on the fringes
always marginalised
views hidden
forbidden thoughts
never highlighted

imagination stiffled
difference ridiculed
damaged reasoning
beyond normal parameters
creating fear

diversity outkawed
intelligence banned
be submissive
since resistance
breaks rules

a little bit of thanks



violet colors
swirl into whimsy
lush dense greens
moist from a kiss of rain
grow floor to an unseen skyline

jasmine vines
bend and curl
around massive trunks
gnarling into shrubbery

O' that scent—
proof of a certain deity

spanish moss plumes
languidly hanging
from branch tendrils
heavy, in a picturesque bow

humid afternoon breezes
gingerly waft
to calming soothe
as the sun warms
life itself

and a soul is renewed

to a perfect
understanding






of
what
really
matters.
