the hour burns
a soft absinthe,
to sheath the hand
that can no longer grasp
the gesture of taking,
so much absence
seized to steady
the heady equilibrium
of liquid silence
as it seeps through clenched fists,
seethes the fluid, silver depths
of clavicles flexed
over the roan cleavage
of glass manacles,
as I bind you
in the rich, calm muslins
of my cinnamon skin,
feel it begin
to bear the idiom of night
with the fluent tremors
of my unease, see it
carve long scars
into our muscles,
as if by steel
you'd lay inside my body,
as if I'd shed
the onyx essence
of these still limbs
so full of daggers
to follow your swift thoughts
into their blue immersion,
numb bones lined with ash
even now, thrash
against the vertical hours
as they remain chained
to this will, this will, this will
last forever
is less than one
moment of despair,
I bear to hoard doubt
in both of my hands, and
goad the loaded questions
left by your absence
and the absinthe weight
of hourglass eyes
lift off the page
too quick to trick the dark flame
from its vein of night
and sheath the wounds
you've wreathed in hands
that can no longer grasp
the gallant gesture of giving
in to the vertigo hours
as they burn
absinthe and epileptic
over the amber seizures
of some devout valentine.

This is completely beyond liking . . .
you have outdone yourself, Mari
and for a very fine poet.

Beautiful writing.

Oh sure, you're new and you don't realize what happens to Ron when you spoil him

He is going to absolutely loved being smothered in your words and he is so deserving of every single one of them. Now, can I entice you two to du-et? Huh? Huh?

ah... very nice.. thank you.

there is absence, and there is absynth in each of us... absence of the whole we somehow feel we should be and are not
and absynth in the denials we use to drug ourselves so that we ignore the absence...

ma'am... first... I'm honored you'd write something and say it is for me, so again, thank you
second,
in spite of what others may tell you, I'm a hack...lol.. I play with words to amuse myself and to take my mind off of more mundane day to day things... I'm not a poet... and I'm usually writing the same things over and over and over.. just wrapping them up in different threads.. pretty boring...

third... you have as I said before, talent... it is obvious, and it make the fact you'd write such verse and say it was for me, mean even more..

fourth..lol.. I need more coffee..

(chuckling) well kid.... your token touches...

from my archives... and related to absence and absynth of its own..

Dark Bells Call  (11:59:45, 15 Seconds Sighed)

Clawing at her skin
Screws turn slow at ¼
Compared to the frenzied burst
Of roil when she hits full
But the wake on bow splits in false
An illusion of current
That foams in a curl
To deny eyes and ears
The knowledge of speed
But shows her strength

Dark blind eyes useless
To creatures of sunlight
See little in this hour
Call more for sounding line
And listen for the bells to mark time

Angels then
                       If not the demons
Shadow steps and grab hands
That circle round wheel

Such this the 15 seconds before new begins
With one more day arriving
On this slattern river’s head
Where she lies shallow
And I
          Sigh at surviving another

And begin to read
                              Hope penned on white
I’ve saved
                 Though it lost the scent of you
A few hundred miles ago
                           Or was that many lives ago
When you handed me this
                                          Your sigh written
In cursive curves that remind me of your own?

Came the call… of bells…

Steady…
           Steady…
                                  You know.

Don't believe anything Cpat tells you....he is drunk again. He does write poetry sometimes....other times he writes these stories that hurt your head because they make ya think. Also, he's trying to get you to feel sorry for him because he thinks your "hot" like I do.

And Cpat....where can I get some of that "absinthe" you're talking about here?...I could use a good buzz right now....
(Actually, I thought this is what I've said many times when I had already had something for a buzz, when I call into work at lunch from a local bar and tell them I've developed a slight case of polio and I'll be "absinthe" the retht of the day
