Every pore
within my skin--
each tiny lump
hair resides in--
all a-quiver--
wave of wand--
magick
in the waves of dawn
like a magnet
am I drawn
to silken lips--
I'll fill the yawn--
a flicker of a tongue in reach
in ignorance, the holy preach...

A curiousity, at first,
becomes the grail of holy thirst--
Melding in a linger's touch--
welding you and me to US...
every sign of grand design,
my fingers linger on my lips
each tear I cry be misaligned--
I curse myself to let self slip...

I yearn to live the Bacchus Days....
coated grapes and palms in sway...
I yearn to die--LIVE ANYWAY....
I want to have it both---escape.

Wow, you always put so much meaning into your words.

I yearn to live the Bacchus Days....
coated grapes and palms in sway...

But you're in Nawlins, where it's Bacchus Days all the time (or so it seems to us tourists when we visit...and have to come home to recover from the hangover!!!)

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

But you escape here, do you not?
Sometimes in death . . . sometimes rebirth.
And there are always bars . . . to look at or to look through.

Oh, the Bacchus days. I remember having someone peel grapes for me once....a long, long, long time ago. (I wonder where he is today???) And then of course, the wine (or whine) of love would flow.

*sigh* again love flows from your pen....your craving for bacchus days paints a picture of love and desire. Very well done. I love it.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
