written for a thursday in the city
love poem #5
written to be read
we cannot escape from being torn here.
you want everything and you should have it.
i want to get paid to be inspired by life and i can have that too.
our world is made up of crazy lost lovers in a web of connections
reaching out of memory and into a future of the unknown.
i am awake.
the serpent of today has devoured dreams like it's own tail, but cannot hide from the fact
that the days are like elephants walking in a line.
it brings me to tears that the link between moment and distance is a thin line
held by the thick trunk of memory and longing.
it makes me want to hold your hand and have you rest your head on mine
and kiss my cheek and tell me who the people in my dreams are.
i want to disappear into the ether and reappear in your dreams
and in your mind while you bathe.
then reappear on your tv screen.
then reappear as the woman i see when i look into the mirror with my eyes closed.
forgetting the feeling of missing you.
there is no sound.
the sun peaks through an early morning mist falling like lace around my window.
wanting.
you wake me up break me down make me move make me weep.
a transit of constellations plays from the radio.
running through the woods against the steep contrast of trees to sky.
the feeling of being dressed in a bow.
we shared some things
sending letters wrapped in the fingerprints of many nations.
when i got home a feathered mess lay within the folds of time
drinking like a honey-suckling sailor
swallowing the dreams of masticating origami doves.
happiness translates to cannibalizing the secular delusion
driving to the temple with belled ankles and roped belly
hands to sheets then breast then head then knees to cheek to beat the weather
stop it
i didn't believe in destiny
the modern dance of fisted friendships
clinking spoons against crystal
making music in an alley
tolling bells for those that stop to listen
and with eyes closed
dance over the shaking heads of bobbling women and agreeable men
sloppy and loose to the control of eyes that pray
it's the synthopated choreography
that runs over the teeth of strangled women
pasted upon a scroll of fallen petals
my voice is reverberated in black ink
sporadically penned by a controlled bleeding
blending into soothing
like a child blends chalk
like a rainbow's disappearance into the distance.
like shyness to laughter
dissembling the resonant sound of your voice.
the faint whisper of rain sizzling in the low sun
like a full red moon confusing the day with night.
undressing the shallow mistress of adventure
while blindfolded human flesh and desire
lay underwater in love.
it burns a negative image onto the edge of my teacup
breathed into existence by shadows.
the circus of paradise is revealed in the droplet upon your cheekbone
a sip of power
calling your name
dividing joy equally amongst the abundant
what would it feel like to truly know you?
to lick the porridge from my chin.
you are brighter than sunshine
and i have the eyes of an albino cat draped in human clothes.
love song #4
your fathomless eyes dominate me with snarling animist teeth
tearing gently at my lips
pouring the taste of honeysuckle wine amidst dewed spring grass
over longful tongue down open throat past thumping heart
only to later be digested
your eyes
like the rising of the tide
coaxed from between my legs
a necter known to no other
drilled by fingers thick and relentless
a disgusted gaze froliced by winged tigers and bound muses
penetrates my mind and melts me into submission
my love
your eyes ingest my spirit
fractaling my conciousness
devouring my ego
transforming para to meta and back again
in a slipstream of aerobic mind and body teasing
entering and releasing
pounding fucking beating
your eyes leave me breathless
your touch leaves me steaming
the memory of this has me soaking through seating
my love
your eyes like the bluest black hole
suck from my mind every worry every dream
creating space for the nirvana of pure desire
your eyes
caress my eyes like wisping hair caresses cheek
amid a summer breeze infused with sweat
cradling memory in poems of sound
undressing me from my skin and bleaching my bones
by knawing them clean
my love
liminality
across the sea and into the future
amassing power from gleening eyes
that rake the grey hairs that other lovers missed
caressing your flesh in windsong
then bathing your aura in pure loving energy
because i can
it is the shaman lover that imalgamates
the bondage between light and night
enriching a moment with cat calls and droning lovesong
it is the dualistic dance of the spirits
that gaze upon gentle fingers
tracing the map of time and space upon your wings
upon a temple and below the moon
the hermited lover retreats in meditation
blanketed by the moist streaming of imagination
painting to lyrics a musical interlude
like the silent rhythm of dew
you like the jaguar reflected in a single drop
i like the adornment that crowns your spotted head
tremble for knowing and unknowing
this is the mystery of unfettered love
this is a joy mask that blinds the eager temptress
leads demons astray
pulsates within earth core and star heart
to form a rainbow around tangled moments
aligning in harmony the driving mission
of two souls flowering entwined yet distant
love song #3
(Note* This was on an IPhone notepad while having sex:
I have been wanting to challenge myself lately)
Read over lips to ears replete
With care for lovesong and sultry eyes
Though tongue does lisp past swollen thighs
And fingers drift my mountainsides
I lie
With pulling hair and belted wrist
Sucking life from moistened clit
Then diving into each abyss
Until I piss
I wish
You would read me more than poetry
While braiding hair beneath a tree
Lavish me in picnic breeze
Shower me with courtesies
Do exactly as I please
With ease
Question
steak and eggs
for plates were placed
by flowers plucked
then held by vase
and eyes they gazed
to hands unsure
that rose to hold to heart the words that spoke
from trembled tongue and cheek through stretched and smokey throat beneath
a psyche magnified by tear
that falls to salt like rain on sun
a single supple fragile disc
like golden ring
against wedding dress
but will the answer be a yes?
a breath a stone compressing lung in chest a syncopated drum
bass lined by the tick of seconds
each salivating over breakfast
is this crossroad?
is this nexus?
fork steals bite
answers perplex us
love song #2
love song #1
Reflection

mothered by hecate
divined by a moment
curious and curiouser
she pushed the little button
fairy animal shapeshifter
calculating form
knowing of her power
the strength of windy storm
the mermaid with a golden tale
sunbathing on a rock
fed upon the element air
her twin swimming in the sun
an aphrodite love goddess
a tiger a ten of cups
abundance abundance
beats deeply in her heart
the heart the king of swords
true love the fortune told
like tiny candy hearts
making up the human form
the receptor
naked without memory but honest and questioning
then met too by honest lips heart felt in crooning
speaking of meanness only too obvious
be that the punitive be the receptor
the receptor
what does it mean to receive
and what about function
simple carefulness and carelessness undone
a beating heart a beating drum
drum or thumb control
all of it power
and still there is laughter
and the pulsating chatter of slapping and flapping and gasping
til after
afternoon aftermath aftertaste
so much haste for such wimsey
skin pasted to a sheet after minute measures
a wellspring of want to leave it in the toilet
so quickly we follow suit
suit of darkness suit of death
love for sword play with cock and tongue
and incantations flux with sentiment
drifting 'cross barriers of paleolithic fumes
igniting your eyes against a morning piece of fruit
fruitful in hope chance
recording the circumstance
philanthropy for giftedness
niceness niceness verity
a simple test of clemency
clemency is it the job of the receptor
passively giving and at the same time knowing
the act is dependent on so many control factors
with innocent sweetness wrapped tightly round
profound with light and faster than sound
sound sound sound sound sound
another time around
and then eyes so dark that they seemed like a drawing
so distant but comfortable
like frequency sweeps humming
solfeggio harmonics amidst sycronized drumming
a house a home a pad a room
room for the budding of learning and growing
room for the mind to leave for a moment
room for surprises and smiles and owning
not knowing not showing but having and holding
seems simple but time continues to drink from its glasses
glasses of plenty spill juniper wine
vining sunrain soaked muddy my spine
biaural beats and spooky dark basements
black houses red houses solid gold blue
rat ta tat be boxin cymbal and flange
flange the great receptor
tie her up wet with wanting
hold her down glowing
sweating and groaning
beat softly for now so you can keep going
going somewhere she asked
he was shadowed unsure
she tried to be demure
he kissed her soft and pure
why the insecurity
insecurity lucifer and angel my shoulder
one black wing one white and grey in between
in balance divided in winter in spring
in summer in autumn in winter again
is this a job for the angelic dominion
dominion opinion cult crew or band
no man is an island he's only a man
and women can be temptresses goddess and ghoul
but we are no fools no we be true cool
or at least some of us do pound
sound sound sound sound sound
another time around
from worm to whole
Your eyes glancing timid brush my skin like salt crests upon a sinking ship
And the echo of your unspoken words nudges my true self towards fawn songs
Invisible in the dusk of spring
I have lost the desire to hear your answer though days later long for an explanation
A chysalid of desire has engulfed my intellect
Distracted by wish pennies and meditating on dreams
It is this error in perception that blinds me to realness
Then bathing later in sweat I long to drink in
A shadow calls longingly that I am not home
Your touch has me perforated by bullets
But I have shed no blood in your name
In daydreams I am the puppet master and you my muse
A guitar riff repeats then overlaps into noise
An emblematic slipstream sewn onto the back of your coat
Reminds me that you are a real boy under all that wood
And my nails long like Thai dancers
Tangle the strings
Unfurling the threads that have woven this web
By morning my breath is too foul to praise you
And I retreat to a village of one
And I write with a patter of fingers on keys
And I play you our love song with freshly painted toenails
And dismember my senses while freckles fall like dirty snow
tangent intersection for a love lost street
this is for you
you may guess upon the meaning
the meaning is subjective
you may dance upon a spindle
i may prick my finger
i may spin gold
and you may hide your name
you may steal my little girl
not the one i have
but the one i am
are you afraid of what's under the bed
or did you already look under too many times for it be reasonable to look again
inspired by a night i was within and a night i was without
so is the sound of yukele so basked in comfort
and just as a moment is lost on a pop-u-lust
so is a custom of standard lost
and just as the roofing lifts and bangs in the wind
so does my heart feel sure
and as the current shifts
from a vuluptuous thigh
so too does an unexpected excitment
crush a moment of weakness
and this is real
and this is part of the scene
and don't you forget it
and within an istant an instant was birthed
a moment forsaken
a thought given up
a kiss on a shrugged shoulder
and beneath a table a shift of a thigh
eyes locked before a wink breaks the silence
a love drifting on an ocean of painted horizon
rocking
in a belief that i have forgotten
angels don't forget and laughter beats all
