Lost in Summer

Posted Jul 16, 2012 · 24 lines · 3 critiques

The smell after removing soak sweat panties
cock before the room of only two eyes
her full summery incense
beads along the small platform breast
dewdrops freeing the hole

legs apart slow shaking
vintage Bebop
flip flop two cheeks
fanning summers heated tushy

stay . . . manifest
upon request
descriptive thorough blue note
on back of signature jacket of Bud Powell

her summery scent now pronounce

Read the rest of the poem Show less

by tangle whips of humid air
from an open window low puffing voile
cast an usual aphrodisiac

quest hold of chance
sniffing under parted limbs
drinking warm drops
tender licks salt pubic feeler

spontaneously enthrall within her walls
of summer.

"A few too many big words here that swallow up any room for imagery I think. This makes the piece a little abstruse. Your a talented poet as I've seen from your other pieces posted here I just think you should maybe not…"

About the author Lepadah

Words. Universally expanding outward beyond known possibilities. Spatial sporadic coagulations forming paratactic fragments. A collective archetypal inheritance expounds in the form of connected notions.
An equal expansion within. Unconscious forces seeking wholeness—the mystery of soul. Waves of resonance vibrate inward where emphasis and essence and imagination infinitely flow.
An artist’s self-sculpted personified effigy—words—shape into a finely contoured poet. Congregating episteme, a curious questioning method of elenchus seeks resolutions, just as the tightrope walker balances on the high wire sensually straddling calm and chaos, between truth and belief, encompassing reality and illusion…
Between the lines, a marinating alphabet soup of thought. Provoking pieces of nourishment, a literary tarantula translates. Spoken and unspoken images merge into discovery of repertoire as an ensemble waits in anticipation of dramatic performance, in other words, performance poetry, per se.
In lyrical soliloquy, a presentation of balanced, heart-felt harmony—prose and poetry—in other words…Le Per se.
