edge of town
sprinted away
a little thirsty
from salt licks
waiting in
voice activated cinimas
buffed light
headliner right out of
pride and prejuduce
absorbed
translating
a ghostly echo
the way of all flesh

he was the tongue
she sang in bright sounds
delicious and dubbed
in English
life sized
café surrealism
crashing into her pillows
amber romance
waving like corn
dressed up child-sized
turning lawless
powers on
walking comrades
cupped in deep hands
on
a bed of temperatures risin
screaming
"I love yous'
miming willing needs
which stood moments longer
like far-away thunder
consentual &
hot with fire
smelling tossed air
spinning them around
swallowing truth
faith in magic
from the core
of their being
dizzy goblets
of always in the mood
were footsteps
in the hallway
wine...good news
was they're first
secret…
where a balcony surrounded
fire place
leaving them
on the brink of madness

wiping away tears
from cheeks of muffled
screams
they outnumbered
unfulfilled desires
holding exotic flora
to the breast of adoration
punctuated feelings won
affections of new pleasures
in another realm
of measured prose
neath their arbor of roses
on a soggy late April Eve
picnic
was this fictional convenience?
or a natural law placed on
honest men?

strange horizons
forgot how to play
the wishing game
through some
university of time
tragic...

living and breathing
throbbing physicality
inviting them to step
into the embrace
of a sensuous
here & now
utopian ideal

the kind of love
accepting impurities but
leaves you all the richer
for it

a hermit crab
writes true mystery
from the belly
of a centipede
legends from a well meant
moon
exploding with laughter
as she steps back
just to let the juices
of memory
flow
again

*sigh* this beautiful poem captures the sensual, easy feelings of love and how peaceful it was in yesterday...I love it...takes me back to slower, easier times...*Big Hugs*

your words trip me up  
say read me again  
for the feel and flavor

“he was the tongue
she sang in bright sounds”

“dizzy goblets
of always in the mood”

“legends from a well meant
moon”

I agree - truly magical.  A world I could easily get lost in myself ...

interesting 'write'!

I particularly loved:  “café surrealism”...
AND:

“the kind of love
accepting impurities but
leaves you all the richer
for it”

but there are also so many other
grand-fine images here (large and small)....
such as:

“a little thirsty
from salt licks” ;

“buffed light” ;

“translating
a ghostly echo
the way of all flesh”

“miming willing needs
which stood moments longer
like far-away thunder “

APPLAUSE!

I read you and it's like downloading your stream of conscious into my own, and the visuals are so stunning I worry sometimes they will stick and pop in my own stuff!

I can't say I know what this means, but it wrapped me up and took me for a ride.

(Next time, drop me off in Oz, will ya? *looking around and wincing*)
