LICK IT

air of shit
these words ache
like a slap burn
and crawl

crawl back to you
pull your soul up
hide your heart
the darkness starts

the dream rips
shorn
the handful of scream

your just falling
crystalline vision
sucked through
that vortex

bitten like a finger
through the hammer
and the gun
say you want to feel
the sun

Lick it
a hurt buried
like a rotten
fallen house
of cards

illicit

in the light..
all the negative of the fight
like the eve of a storm
bruised and purple

passion just skin deep

sewn up

the sum
captured like a heart
like little smiles
you warmed your tears upon
the not so bad side you
said of the terrible me's

how i loved you
worshipped you

how I knew
I lost

You got it Mark!

Yah Mark..I was like blown away by your comment!
my comments on my work are like vignettes
about the "persona" actually
involving mostly the work
Like an art installation
well the poetry comments anyway

its like almost impossible to figure out
what the hell is going on in them
ha ha ha

I guess this can be intimidating
ha ha

Simple would be "Wheres my f****g feeback??"
man I love being a writer and poet
so much more freedom at times

Something Roald Dahl-ish

Something Roald Dahl-ish about this one Esker,
in fact I can see him being inspired to write
a whole story about this poem.

Even I would be
if I were interested in writing crime-like stories.

crime my favourite!!!

good old man against man
oldest story going
the thought process about
result to the think back to the
probable cause
and then back to proof
not always resolved

the forensic moment of it
like poetry at times

Must look up this name Ann

Thank You

Still I wish you wouldn't do it

it takes away from the poets genuine response,
let them have their say.

I suspect you have control issues, much as I hate to say it and I do respect you, please ponder on this.

Thanks again for commenting!

and yes they will write their say!!
wonderful thing the Internet!!
imagine if this was all mail responses
like the old days when poets were
just getting fired up in Canada
and America...And trying to post
to literary magazines.. Did you know
that back then what we consider the
greats posted tons of submissions
and did not get any responses at
all Or were turned down over and
over..Ann Sexton my personal female
poet wrote for years before she
started to show up on the "scene"

and if someone writes me on comments
I will always take this as a genuine response
I never take anyone lightly here
This is my Love
my passion
and their works
their comments are welcomed!

Thank You

ha Control issues!!

yes I wish I could control this poetic mind of mind
Even on my meds which I take properly now I go
about my city, Yes my city absorbing all the sights
and sound and cultural and social subtlties.. thinking
poetry seeing poetry.. thats why when I sit its effortless
to write because it is all there flowing inside my mind
my heart my soul..Its like my Neopoet.. a pride of
ownership thing..I very much so take great pride in being
a poet here... Sometimes It would be nice to go back
thinking like an artist (sketch/painter)
but alas I am now a poet!!
no control anymore..
just writing every twenty four hours....

If you love something set it free If it doesnt come back ...

shoot it!!!

well Im assuming you are the spokespersons here for someone
for I dont check off any boxes asking for no comments on my
work and a lot of my work indeed does seem to recieve comments
from a wide spectrum of peoples

thing is I write poetry not politics
and ive never been a union steward
just an artist
so Please dear readers
Mr Esker appreciates comments
and I will now be here more then
ever as I have soon full internet
acess and can devote more time
to Chat and to commenting on
works that touch my poetic heart
and pique my creative intuition

Thank You
