dedicated to my silent angel.
===================

You got me up all night
deep set, some
tranquil blues
aflame on your veil
You part
beneath violet starlight,
a violent sway
of our kiss. Lips
linger from my face
to the bottles edge
teetering its tears;
speed in liquor.
Candle wax on Vaseline,
melting in the effervescence of you.

In our mouths
we drink it up,
golden to electric light,
burning a bridge,
in the archways and aisles
of candle wax,
We connect.
Recluse misery
shared by two
gives incomparable joy
melting in the effervescence of you.

Echoing through
our hallways
A poem unravels,
the murmurs of summer
are damp upon its vowels.
We catch them in our mouths,
These halcyon heartbeats
rising from your breast,
warm upon the morning air,
my skin soars
on a silent whisper
melting in the effervescence of you.

"Here I am in prison,here I am with a ball and chain There is whiskey in the jar-o" Traditional irish song.

ahhhhhhh brian.......

my friend
so sweet the Poet in you
relaying your soul through
words strung so diligently
upon a page,
a sage you are,
exemplory, your talent!
blazed by the inner soul,
never stolen, whole!

candled by the shining
of a voice, entwining
with us......

waxed by nothing but
the ever frequency
of nothing less
than the
just

of you!

you, my poet friend,
bleed words dripping
truths from pores
of the sweat

of honest heart
and yet

i feel the stifling
missing somehow
something on a string

and oh how i love you
my poet friend
oh how i wish
one day
to write
again!

It is certainly wonderful to see you here.

I adore this, and I have to agree with Sunshine. What she pointed out was definetely my favorite part.

Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.

An interesting write, Brian. I had to laugh at Martie's reply, she called you brain. And it's appropriate.

'In our mouths
we drink it up,
golden to electric light,
burning a bridge,
in the archways and aisles
of candle wax,
We connect.'

You do know how to connect.

=========================================

Well..you KNOW that MOTHY ME LOVES this poem right? *wink*
and as Ive said before...your "silent angel" muse always inspires such lovely things in you.

WHEW...talk about your pretty blue flame

You took that metaphor to new heights here my poetic prophet pal ... the vocabulary and imagery added to this one impress and pleasures....
very very "cool" poem Bri-babes...
steamy and smoky ... sensually lovely
and proof positive of me motto......

the moth and the pretty blue flame...
are most often...one in the same

and YESSSSSSSSS.....way cool to have you back posting.

This distance has shown how the road remains alone
