Fusion (mature)

Fusion

(Houston... We Have Fusion...)

 

I am

extended

consciousness

flowing river

streaming delicious

continuous,

transforming always

this lovely moment of being....

I am living in your tangible thought of us

 alive in your consuming emotion,

 reincarnated in our desire.

 Suspended above and beneath you.

 Your spell spins me into finest filament

 weaving me through and around your essence.

 Your spill, ingressive tidal current

 awash in a tangle of our limbs.

 Kisses and tiny bits of stardust...

Very nice imagery and phrasing

The structure of this caught my eye but I stayed for the story. I have a bad habit of looking for structure first and I initially believed there was a consistently rising structure which, considering the subject matter, would have been interesting. Once I sat back and read the poem, I saw that it had a smooth flow and great feel to it. Jonathan Annoying the world, one person at a time (Group discounts available)

I think it flows great

I like this alot but don't unerstand what fusion is. I look for rhythm first second content and lastly presentation/structure,Cat. I like this all, really no suggestions here or at least not seeing a need for change. Joy and Peace, Mark

Hey Mark

Thanks for reading and commenting on this poem. Fusion, okay here is what the dictionary says about fusion: fusion fu·sion [fy??’n] noun 1. heating and liquefying something: the molten state of a substance, or the change it undergoes to become molten 2. blending of things: the merging or blending of two or more things, for example, materials or ideas • a fusion of vegetarianism and pacifism 3. PHYSICS See nuclear fusion 4. MUSIC combination of musical styles: the blending or resulting blend of musical styles or elements from more than one tradition, for example, jazz and rock ~~~~~~~ I was using it in the sense of two people getting together and heating things up, lol!

I read this yesterday at

I read this yesterday at work but couldn't comment, the environment was all wrong for appreciating such a piece. One needs to be alone or with someone they love (ha ha). Seriously: The line that struck me hardest in this was this one: I am living in your tangible thought of us You can pull this line apart for hours: A lover enters the other's fantasy. Straight up titillation. On and on. But it is the subtle rhyme that accents it just right. Marvelous word-choices there. This line pleased me very much as well: Your spell spins me into finest filament Further, there was some wonderful use of language: "Your spill, ingressive tidal currant" has got to be the most imaginative orgasm I have ever heard (though I think you meant current, right?) I do question the word "hypnostatic". Not a word that I--or Webster's online--am aware of. Breaking it down, it seems to mean suspended in sleep, or floating in dream perhaps. Don't know, can't quite get that line. I don't really have any major suggestions, this is a passionate piece, a fine nearly pornographic (in the highest sense) poem. It flustered me slightly the first time I read it (but I'm sure that was just the environment I was in--should have heeded the word "mature").

Thank you, Alobar for your

Thank you, Alobar for your comments and corrections, I have made the changes including the spelling. I am a terrible speller and have to rely on spell check most of the time. I don't know where I got the word Hypnostatic, but I have changed it to "consuming." If you have any better suggestions please feel free to let me know. Thanks for reading and I am glad that you enjoyed this piece. Always, Cat

Astral lover or sex in a zero gravity chamber?

Great poem Cat whichever one of these it was (the latter was suggested by your Houston comment) and whichever one of you. lol. Pretty heavy sensual at the end as well Cat, the "spill" imagery was certainly evocative. The only line i am not quite sure about is the last one. The "bits of stardust" reminds me of something rather less ethereal like "bits of sawdust"...in fact the first time i read it i thought it was "sawdust"...sorry obviously too much time spent doing forestry, home improvements and hanging out in lower class drinking establishments when i was younger. lol.

You worked in forestry, I

You worked in forestry, I find that interesting and commendable. Which serves to reinforce my original opinion that you are a complex person. I'm afraid I took a little bit of (American) poetice license with that Houston line... About the *kisses and tiny bits of Stardust, refer to my response to Richard for the explanation. Thank you very much for reading and commenting on my poem :) Always, Cat

that was good...I had read this before..but didn't comment.. I thought I needed to let it soak in and then read it again... whew...all right.. I have to say I loved it.. the last line for me...works. it is the tiny..sensual kisses of completed ajoining....like stardust kisses... brought together. damn... yes... Cat, this is good.. Fusion.. an excellent title choice.... Richard

It pleases me greatly that

It pleases me greatly that you understood the last line and let me take you there. You are so right, about the tiny kisses that come in the afterglow period. Sometimes those kisses can spark the (re)igniting of the fire in the slow burn. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. Always, Cat
