What if God is a Jazz Musician?

Back in high school I read a science report that stated that radio waves coming from Pulsars, Quarks, and other astrological entities portrayed very sophisticated Jazz beats and rhythms. I wrote a poem, then, which I can’t find… but this is a rewrite that still asks the same question.

The Quasars
and Pulsars
from dying sparks
of Quarks
playing in the dark
form bang, bang,
do wop, bang
rhythms
and be bop bang
syncopated rhymes
in do wop, bang re bop
three-quarter time
on radio
do whop bang discs
in bang bang do whop bang Puerto
Rico
and New Mex
ico.
So …
What if God
bang bang do whop bang
IS a Jazz Musician?
Man?
AND
the Universe
Is His Big
Gig,
Dig?

You Make Love More Like a Woman: IMprov Romantic Poem

In olden times, if a woman said “make love to me”, it meant the gentleman was free to woo her with words. In that context, I created this poem:

——————-
After writing on-line
for several weeks,
we met…
parked…
where it was dark.

She led me into the back
of her French fry and crack
er-filled mini van;
Kid residue: an unused
Huggy; a shoe!

As she reclined, I proceeded to…
touch her
caress her
BUT just her face
and neck…
and I whispered words
soft
and low
as the moon shone
through the window.

And I breathed and drank deep
the scent of her skin
and felt her warmth
both from without, and within.

And I whispered her praises
brushed her hair back from her ear;
sweet, gentle, tender phrases
that only she would hear.
And she sighed
and a smile took the place
of the melancholy tear
that started to etch her face.

A tear of remorse;
of deepest regret.
Knowing, from him she loved most,
such sweetness she’d never get.
And she revealed to me feelings
and longings within;
and told me she was revealing
herself to me, not to him.
And then she stopped
sighed,
and in a voice soft and low,
she cried
and said
“You make love more like a woman
Than any man I’ll ever know!”
“And though it breaks my heart,
you must go
home, and I must depart.”
So I smiled, nodded
and gently cupped her face.
We stood outside her mini van
and tenderly embraced.
And she went to her warm bed
and I, chilled,
to mine;
and she thrilled
at what I’d said.
And I, though of warmth bereft,
still received from her
the greater gift!
For what man has ever had a woman tell:
“You make love cleverly; you make love well!”
“You make love much more so
like a woman, than any man I’ll ever know!”

And later, she made love
to her husband more incredibly than ever.
She thought: had it been like that, no, never!
… and when he asked why, or how; was it preset?
She said:
“I thought about the guy I met,
and the words he said
… and they kept rolling around in my head
as you
and I
rolled around in our bed!”

A Selfish Sonnet on Issues to Work Through

A friend texted me the other day saying they didn’t want to talk, that they had “Issues to Work Through”. I didn’t hear from them for several days, so I wrote this:

There is little more disconserting
than to know someone
you care for is hurting.
So you wonder: “what have I done?”

When you think your flaws
both imagined and real,
Are the generator and the cause
of the way your friend feels.

And when they won’t reach out
to accept your warm, caring embrace,
then you wonder and doubt
if they liked you in the first place.

It’s not all about me!
That much is true!
But why won’t you let me see
how it’s all about you?

And as I sit alone in silence,
All I can wonder is where my friend went.

Mature Content Romantic Poetry

The following poems deal with mature romantic/sexual topics. They are not meant to be offensive, but have some phrases and thoughts which may be offensive to some. So that these poems won’t appear on the main blog posting page, I’m putting them here on this static page. If you want to comment on them, you’ll have to do by commenting on the main posting page. IF YOU MAY BE OFFENDED BY THEM, PLEASE CLOSE THIS PAGE! I HAVE THOUSANDS OF OTHER POEMS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE OFFENSIVE!

The following poem was written after a long IMing session, where my friend was tired of IMing. When I called, the response was “I can’t talk now: I’m IMing!” This is my response to a return call.

“Women at a Toy Party”

She pulled out her rabbit/
from its soft silken case,/
and said “You’ve got to have it!”/
and a grin crossed her face./

And in the party of women/
those who knew what ladies need/
Shouted at once “AHH MEN!”/
to say they agreed./

For they had all felt/
its vibrating ears/
and were all dealt
pleasure in high gear./

And the thoughts of that bunny’s pink nose/
made all the women moisten their clothes.

June 9, 2010 – 2 p.m.

An erotic doggy style sonnet

I’ve sometimes thought of you
On all fours like a dog.
Begging for a screw;
Pleading for my log.

I watched your smooth bottom
Rise up in the air.
White and soft like cotton
Glowed your derrière.

And when I slid inside
And penetrated your hot wetness,
It was not with pain you cried.
T’was a moan from internal caress.

And when you involuntarily at last exploded,
Your tight squeezing released what your passion had loaded.

I can only dream
And imagine how you’ll feel/
Sliding down on me.

The sun,/
Sleeps in/

In this winter farmland,/

his blanket.

But the moon,/
Bright,/
Woman-Full

Works her way/
Through cold/
Spindley/
Cottonwoodmaple/

tree fingers/
That reach skyward

to cup her/
And hold her/

prone,

back arched slightly/
Skin white and shining

Me kneeling behind/
Gently rocking back/

Rhythmically chant-moaning/
In the early morning/

CAN I WRITE A SONNET YOU GORGEOUS: ROMANTIC SONNET
8 p.m. January 15, 2015

Can I write a sonnet
about how you are gorgeous?
You say you are chubby, yet
I’m glad you are not less.

I love your breast, firm and round.
And your belly’s soft mound.
I yearn to feel them.
I’d like to reveal them.

And between your thighs I’d gladly dive,
and tast you to make you sigh
and taste your juice divine
with my tongue, lips and hands.

Let me touch your heart
and be your man!

Southerly Moon Glance

If you look out your window southerly,
you’ll see the moon most lovely.
You’ll see the glow, even through the clouds
that surround the moon, just like a shroud!

And as you fix your gaze there, southerly,
so shall I; that’s where I’ll be!

And you and I shall have the same view
and it will be as though —
even though the sheets and night are cold —
I’ll be laying next to you.

Suffering: an IMprov Poem

A friend and I were discussing (In Instant Messaging) the topic of suffering and how certain some people suffer all the time. I opined:
All forms
of suffering
are mere norms
for buffering.

We can twist
and we can bend;
or we can list
or send
them fleeing
away,
like sheep bleating
for fear at end of day.

It is always ours to choose:
Do we win? Or do we lose?

It's time for a word revolution! — David Kuhns, CyranoWriter, Starts Writing

Note: I’ve tried to get the blog explanation (next article) up to this position, but can’t figure out how. If you want to know how my blog is structured and what it’s about, make certain you read the NEXT posting as well. THIS posting is more of a “Why/how I was inspired!” piece!
Inspired by President Obama’s Inauguration Speech, I recognized it was my time (after half a century) to start writing. Tell me what you think. (I’m feeling very uninspired tonight!)(PS: Please make certain you read the next entry, below, to understand HOW my blog is set up… this is mostly about the “Why”).

But now it is morning — and I feel more inspired. In brief, two things happened during the Inauguration that inspired me. One was very simple: As the Poet read her work after President Obama’s speech, I listened, and thought to myself: “My work is just as good.”

More importantly, though, is what happened to me as the inauguration took place. I was thinking about all my African-American, Native American, Hispanic, Gay Rights friends, soldiers who’d “fought the fight”, who must have been ecstatic with the events of January 20th, 2009.

And I felt very ashamed. These were people who’d LIVED with segregation, who’d been the “first to”, who’d stood shoulder to shoulder with the oppressed, who’d been oppressed themselves. And me? What had I done? Certainly nothing revolutionary like they had done.

Then I thought of my life, and the very different path it took, in one way, on the outside, a path of ease and comfort, but in another way, a path very different than I had anticipated, an uncomfortable path personally, a path of coaching soccer and baseball, of youth groups, of planting gardens, of doing service projects. And I realized that, in a small, personal way, I’d also been a revolutionary and that, because of President Obama’s remarks, and the examples of thousands before, I was able to come out about it, to shout from the rooftops that there are things I feel passionately about, things that matter, and although in the history of this nation, and in the minds of many, those things don’t matter as much as what my friends went through — they matter to me.

This blog contains my revolutionary statements.

At the same time, I experienced a personal “coming out” of the romantic writer. That writer had always been there, hiding, ashamed, not willing to believe that he was “any good”, assuming that people reading his romanticism, his rhyme schemes and free verse and prose, would giggle and say “Romance is stupid” or “You sound like Dr. Seuss / writing about the love of a Moose!” or “I don’t get it.”

Thanks to several friends — old AND new — and thanks to the belief that today IS a new day, I’ve decided to start writing, and posting my writings, along with my experiences as both a Romantic Poet and a Revolutionary Writer. Maybe it’s not right that I self-proclaim that I’m either — or both — of those things. But who is to say that I am, or I’m not?

CyranoWriter: Overview of a Revolutionary Romantic Writer's Blog

Thanks to several friends — old AND new — and thanks to the belief that today (Inauguration Day, 2009) IS a new day, I’ve decided to start writing, and posting my writings, along with my experiences as both a Romantic Poet and a Revolutionary Writer. Maybe it’s not right that I self-proclaim that I’m either — or both — of those things.
But who is to say that I am, or I’m not?

Within my blog I will attempt to have two main thought process categories.

Revolutionary: Poems, stories, thoughts that are “Revolutionary” in nature. That is, they will be thoughts about anything topical and worthy of discussion, including self-discovery, OUTSIDE of my romantic writings.
Romantic: Poems, stories, thoughts that are “Romantic” in nature. That is, they will tend to focus on writing toward a woman or women, discussing romantic relationships. They will probably be divided into:
*”IMbic Poems 4an IMprov Age” (typically poems created “on the fly” while Instant Messaging (IMing) friends),
*”ConTEXTual Poems” (typically poems created on the fly, but within the confines of sending cellphone text messages), and
*Other poems and writings, either created within emails directed to someone, or as random thoughts. (Note: Some of these may deal with mature themes. I won’t publish them as posts, but will create a working page of “Mature Poetry” that I’ll add to on occassion.)
It’s my hope to eventually publish these into a book (or several). I only hope that the formatting of the pages on WordPress allows me to put them into the various categories!

CyranoWriter’s Creativity blog started more than a decade ago. I heard a poet read at President Obama’s first inauguration. I thought: “I can do that!” And so I started.

Making a goal of writing and posting a poem or creative piece every day, I put my creative thoughts into a wordpress.com blog. More than 7400 creative pieces later, I moved that site over to CyranoWriter.com. If you followed me there, welcome back!

What is CyranoWriter’s Creativity?

Most of these pieces are short poems, which I try to make into Haiku (they are in the sense that they are 5/7/5). Some are longer. Some are free verse. Some are prose pieces. Some are silly. Most are serious and observational.

All of them feed my soul.
(Here is a great piece from Dead Poets Society / Robin Williams)

Most of the pieces are “romantic” in nature (single for more than a decade, I had a lot to say about the pathos of that state). Now that I’m married, the romantic writing continues, but with much more hope. Other pieces are observations of either nature or human nature. Many deal with the issues we all face daily. And still others are just thoughts and musings, prompted by my observations of what is happening around me. Some are augmented by my photography. Most are left for you, the reader, to visualise in your mind. All of these reflect how I see the world, and what living and observing and just being means to me.

My hope, my dream, is that people will read my work and “see new”. They’ll think about how they see or what they feel about the things I see and feel. And, most importantly, I hope my writing, day after day after day after day, will inspire others to simply see, to observe the amazingness happening around them, and to capture it in whatever form or style they choose.

People tell me “I used to write. I wish I could write more. I need to write more.” To them — to YOU — I say: “Do.” Because, 7 years ago, I heard another poet. And then, I did.
