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.

Sliding

Gorged inside the rift of lotus spirals
I am etched into the shape of your laughter
Marbled and grained
Angled angels held open your gates
Chubby wings lifted bright eyes
And sliced alabaster lips

You see,
I burn inside from depressed wells
Of bottom feeding emotion
Loathing holy grails lathered on marsh moss and
Dank lizard skin
Green shapes and odd pools caked against your
Wisdomed tooth.
Spit up the bloody truth and I'll sing songs to it
……..I loved the guts of your open belly
And swam in the lake of your charm
And my pitted insides
Ache
And wretch
And impale
Every side of my red boxed throbbing
Hand
Shoving up your puckered place
Eating it from the inside out as your
Love mist scorches my mouth
Peel back the scabs of my pain
I'm drunk on gin and acid
Smeared in mud sliding thru to the end of the
Phone yelling
"Listen to me;
I'm dying here in front of myself"

And I dripped thru the cracks
by the time you answered
With your opened eyes and a la bastard lips

Scorpion Love

I hold you in my melted palms
As your tiny stars burn holes
In my ice skin
You the universe
And I its keeper
Your orbits
Leave in mystery
Colliding inside the wake
And spray of monumental ocean
Not that you were ever mine
With heaving spirals ancored inside
But your spined thought
Scorpion stung the inside of my gums
Infecting my kiss with
Cankered love

Poised

Adventurous feline
Waiting for
Dip of flower petals
And tender breeze
Lashes and glass
Cuddled blush
Rush
Melon syrup
And rose delicate
Kiss
Heather fields are
Bracing against gale wind
And thicket of black berries
Holds in scent of
Its wine
Often dreaming along
Rocks and froth lapping
Streams
I wait

Flirting with Disaster

The wheel flirts the asphalt edge
Skirting disaster
Rimming a breath towards
A fatal error
Cork screwing dirt devils
Feathering deaths door
As a faint knock
Speeding against time
Steering your rolling steed of steel
Down crooked neck path
Dousing luck and plan with
Lethal doses of pained barbs
So loaded in torture
You didn't see the tornado
Rise up
Sucking you in its force
Like Dorothy
You
.
.
. Plummet
As a gash
In the middle of a green desert

Before realizing
You were wreckage
With nothing left but
Crows plucking out your vision

Playing It Safe

I won't hold you tight
or kiss you
Only in the moments of now
will I embrace you
Keep you warm and
light a fire
There are other moments of now
With others who need my kiss
Just in case you forget
Where the warm is
The others will take your place
And I can be
( safe )
in numbers
