And so....
perpetually
no clouds on this endless velveteen night
my mind
seizes
acute enchantment
penetrating celestial
sensations
crowd me
like a lover's golden embrace
innumerable offspring
fuses
wide-eyed promises

I suckle
mountainous vertical
sea waves
moistening my corn-silken piece
of sky
high earthy azure eyes
spend astonishment
like key colors

luminous
       brawny
             unadulterated

into some current
of vivid twilight
like an interlude
of language
watching sun-bleached sheets
sailing into
wild imaginings of
this solace vegetation

where the
warmth
of mosaic arpeggios
speak an infamous blaze
like the "Inferno of Dante"
echoing a torah
like vein

rudiments to passages
low humming
philosophical supposition
hangs
along
an accelerating scale
of metaphoric rock
of which
I chisel away
at gestures

there is a magic made of song~
                  of life

encroachments
finding truth
in absence
ever plays & pours
extra virgin olive oil
I taste
the shadow sentencer
like ravenous hunger
I intend to bleed
ceaselessly
pouring forth clumps
of defiant cleavage
into the wound of moans
giving the child notice
lamenting some
inflammatory autonomy
where inlets breath
a few more days
naked...and alive

oh God...
for the smell of that river
and
a mass embrace
from this twilight
night air
can you feel it?
can you touch it?
gives the soul
room to love beyond compare

multiplying voices from a tired death
fear not, morning doth come...

finding lapped seams in rain
a clean smell
of union &
pearls falling in love
with the face of millions

an intimate room
that this house
gives birth
finding poverty
of deepest darkness
wanders off
into some musical
celebration of sound
moss covered in
available power
where
feelings & ideas become

and it is perhaps
stimulated for us to remember
there is always light
despite what one might believe...


mine, has always been right there
in front of me

be lost in the soul of love

Was reading with wonder at the way your mind sees, then that last "mine, has always been right in front of me" caught me and I thought....ahhh, how true for everyone.

it’s the lines like…
sun-bleached sheets
smell of that river
moss covered
and
clean smell of union
that keep me coming back
I love this LeeJ

Leej,  you do have a way with words....I'm
lucky to get perhaps a third of that...
