these are the windless sighed meanderings
when morning is a swallow of fog water
faster then the throat makes available
but slow enough to enjoy the drowning

oceans are newsprint wrinkled under skies
like a mans hands before he dies of old
when leather is growing over his youth
and his tattoos have lost their eye sight

the metal one is still my god, for another day
she leads me into her bosom as if she were lonely
and my never had enough can heal her heart ache
even if only with this spoke stitched sewing

we search for holes in the skin of night
to press our faces through into tomorrow
but there are strings attached to gypsy shoes
to trip the dancers when they climb their ladders

lest they find that heaven is only many windows

Your words make a mighty tasty breakfast... I love this beginning... and the lines that follow. *S*

first time I've read you,know it won't be the last. Your turns of phrase become an obscure reference I didn't realize I could relate to.  I loved the ride.

First, what a shock to open this up and see that incredible art.  I am swiping it when I get home to steal it.

Second, I don't often quote parts of poems that I like the best .. but this time, I have to single out this:

these are the windless sighed meanderings
when morning is a swallow of fog water
faster then the throat makes available
but slow enough to enjoy the drowning

oceans are newsprint wrinkled under skies
like a mans hands before he dies of old
when leather is growing over his youth
and his tattoos have lost their eye sight

the metal one is still my god, for another day
she leads me into her bosom as if she were lonely
and my never had enough can heal her heart ache

Hey, DS.  You paint broad strokes and vivid colours with your words.  I start off reading a poem, and end up woven into your tapestry.  Midnitesun sums it up when she says "Wow."
