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.

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 ~*~ Cpat isn't the only one who is going to enjoy this, m'friend... he'll be grinning and chuckling ALL day... |

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 |
