This World is Beneath You

Shimmering whisps of gold and silver

weave your mane

haloing your charmed and gracious face

budded in rose lips curled north

your violet eyes shine mirrored

as a still lake softly rippling your essence




brewing, we spill ourselves on tall grass

opaque pearls drape your porcelain shoulders cascading

across your silk

follow me to the end of the blowing branches

scratch the sky in tandum as I stroke the tender

velvet of your heart and song

I hold with amazement as you

render me breathless

I desire the sheer motive of your brass core

trembling to be found




kiss me full and ripe

let me touch your heat and cascading love

tangle with me in linen swells

as I bow at your perfect arched foot

delicately resting above

my whole world where I spread before you my heart




my darling,

you are too precious for this earth

too kind for this weeping ground

too decent for this harbor of red pumice grief

The tainted world is tiny at your feet

shabby and vulgar in its tempest

you rise above the quakes of foul and breathe sweet

air into the lungs of my sanity

let me fall into your jungle of tender colors

eclipsing any shadows that might fall

and save me!

as I sing and fold

inside your

perfection

Waking up from a Deep Sleep

It takes a jolted comin to Jesus moment
To wall etchings scribbled in my own
Slimy penning
Oh it takes someone or some thing
To jar
And agitate that core rivet that holds in
Locked up vomitous pain
It's always been black mailed,
That pain,
"Dull me with your drug and I'll go away"
It reminds,
But daily I still bleed in a seething gnaw
So I drug it one last time
Stopping to hear inside that voice of skeptic
Denouncing all that I try to do
Will it be an endless chime pealing away at my nerve?

No rite of atonement washes my face
The day I set aside my foolish and
Unrealistic
Looking the future square ahead
Without a blinking escape hatch
Licking the urge
Liking the purge
Lapping at the task
Do I hear a frightened
Baby- girl sighing
(Finally)
Deep with in the channeled place?
Rivets sweat and loosen
Rolling to the floor in chucks of myself
Sweep it up with the clutter,
I have cleaner
Days ahead
And brighter (k)nights to dream in perfect
Atonement is my salvation today
A caveat of sane speaks to me ..
Deliberate, I am finally listening with my heart.
