To Dwell or not to Dwell

Upon a flying carpets climb
I dwelt upon a muse’s time
And flew within a foggy head
To catch a butterfly to wed

My eyes stayed closed on imprecise
They ached from watching paradise
And would not see reality
Nor free the hand of ecstasy

Edging on aggressions mood
Not quite dressed and not quite nude
With pressures, that it stay in tact
In hopes that it would stay its act

Alas alack illusions snack
Born within a dreamer’s sack
One that I will truly miss
The essence of a steamy kiss

And now the acid sun has come
Dissolved the night and I’m undone.

Sy-babers there are so many clever, subtle lines of imagery dressed in wit, angst, and truth in this oh so cool piece.
I love the ethereal, melancholy mix of analogy to fantasy and ecology...and that closing couplet's impact and imagery is poetic genius and is the humanity of the poem. Once again I say...I do so enjoy seeing things thru your eyes of wise.

This is wonderful with a touch of fantasy.
Enjoyed...enjoyed!!

JM,
If I ever get to put together a small book of my humble poems I would you please write the preface.

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Seymour darling boy I’m completely awed by this delight.  Oh how you write, and how much I love it when you do so.

Once upon a dreamers thought
In drifting bliss my breath was caught
By a whisper murmured low
I slipped into your souls warm flow
Without fuss I’ll meekly cede
To let you plant this poet’s seed
In hope’s dreams this is true
That dreamers fill their heart with you

This is utterly utterly divine. Purely magical darling boy, utter bliss and I love it utterly utterly. This is why I seek out your writing you are just exquisitely fine, your writing is quality. And I utterly utterly love it

  
Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

And the wit and freshness of your talent goes on and on. ( undone or not )  Maybe we should all look into being undone a little more.  It sure as heck seems to be working for you.  Excellent writing and I have said it before ... if you find a Sy poem, then you won't EVER be disappointed.
