substanxe

axial existance
whipped in candle steam boasts
the room swimming in insence
and thick heat
the bruises fresh from presses
of the juggernaut

rolling like beads of brilliant
understanding
the wickedness of treasures
in breathe caught
visions swum
like exposed waterworlds
heaved upon rocks

Tawny bedroom haze
sucked in the vision
of smitten like

music a scourge and
madness mix

a race through forests
dark and daring
the price a Love
most harsh
Uncaring

A Retrospective in Clay: Interlude

I open my eyes and I think of you,
those last sad days your kisses graced my lips.
Each small breath I draw stirs the grief anew;
it feels as if my soul is in eclipse.

We lived a love made from the stuff of dreams.
It held us in eternity's embrace.
We faced the darkness with defiant screams;
discarding dignity and futile grace.

But as I sit and grasp at memory,
your treasured trinket clutched hard to my breast,
my heart is frail as this aged pottery
and I cheer at the tightness in my chest.

satellites,seamen

blue grapes, at late, drapes of black orange
hurls passion for the sea pleasure of satellites
wiry, but that was caught by birdsongs
and a colossal twinkling of the nights sea creatures

in an avenue for all living things colourful
ballerina of circles, she might compose
tresses of pink emeralds, mauve blister squash
dances for the derailment of aged oystershells

centrifigul

vortex ascension
sun splits dimensions
An eye above
an arms length
shines
a spill of gloss
enamor lush
rushes in the
throes this grasp
The wind of lust
gushes in its
rush
behind the whirling
hum of a summer
fan

prism beads the
sheen on arms
shimmer like
lights of the edge
the tiny stars
shivering
in this dusk
of darkness

the pummel heart
swelling in its
tender cage
racing

Sins of the Flesh (yet another humor contest poem)

I so love your skin's feel
beneath my old rough fingers
e'en after a caress I steal
the memory still lingers

As touch moves on to gentle cleft
I'm filled with anticipation
of patience I am now bereft
please fill my expectation

And as each little roundish nub
also begs for attention
calling out for a light rub
and a poem's lyric mention

Just the sight of your soft curves
fills me with such delight
and never ever fails to serve
to enrich my appetite

a coyote bleak

flesh of gold
the rain and the sour waffles
melts in progeny, delve deep
feline black suede embellished
waters who watches stick
the colours of a greyhound

a weaker flesh
fancy each ripeness
dragoon the eye of all coyote's
stone on the skies
in float of rainbows translucent

flesh is bread
and blood is wine
glitz in the meridian
stark darkness, hunger!
sacred hearts, born not of tame
paint turmoil passes;
slim curvatures of green gases
now, diabolic excavation

Then and Now

then is not now
but somehow
then,
surfaces for a
grasp of air
in present
memories.
memories.
memories.
if the then does not exist
how are we here now?
what was it then?
and what will it be? then?
then when?
and how?
is tomorrow now?
memories
memories
memories of
a child's hand
painted in colour
white curtains
that sway in the gentle breeze
and a moon as large as earth
memories
memories
of birth
linger
in the depths

dId U feel

U 30
swept swaying the
swag of hair
I rode your crescent
dead end life

your tight hatch
thumped and
your lines run up
with the need
of your fix
that smarted
the tears fresh loose

Stretched from the
little bunt snout
to the toes reaching
down calves
dune fresh
moonlit scorned

Hips straight
from the windows
of calamity
jutted in defiance
on sheets of
liquid lavander

Abandoned Study - Exploration of Style WS

You had your books in order
on the shelf but you had scattered
your work on a desk
by the window
in an angry mess
or the wind had visited
and disheveled your hair
so that your thoughts lay everywhere.

You were mad, sometimes,
in that study; Love kept me
at the threshold of your room.

You will not let me in
when you sat enthroned like the queen
with a song on her lips,
but this is what you are, poor thing
shackled to that iron seat:
