My sentences are always turning into questions
Whence from restless vacuums steam
Like a freight train sounding its whistle loud and extreme
Wandering into summer’s past,
Like Canadian geese migrating
Between currents of thoughts and footprints
Words tasting naked to the touch
Like a layered necklace around my throat
Becoming quiet creatures of morning
Probing between my fingers and toes
What passions float in warm water?
Or hides within my ghost, that I have yet to know
I clandestinely part the now
Like a flash of lightening
Barefoot in the universe
Highly imagistic
Yet, not nearly enough echoes my handprints
Leaving me drifting in a silent pool
Drawing me, drawing you, gasping innocent virtues surreal
Tugging at my window becoming integral parts
Of the perfect companion, cloned by accessible
Libraries, drawing strong components of my psyche
Genetically motivated towards the growth of society
Evolve what we must, we’re fully saturated
Perspiring poems
I receive a phone call at 2 in the morning
Sharing thoughts into clear precise sentences and
Reciting A Night with Hamlet
Keeping Rimbaud on his toes
Settling for nothing less, that hollow dreamboat of desire
For a poet’s true voice, speaks the truth and shadows
Each of us…and all of them…where great images bend

I'm a fool for sensuality, but this is just superb!

You could make a dozen poems out of this.
Wonderful write.
