Roses, Roses Lying, among culled roses in the savage dream of Chieftans, the truncated wings of a wild dove, withering, the same death of thorns drawn inward on the bough, to the low moan of wild flowers hung from the torrent solitude I’ve by bread alone, come under these distances, blue, the veins shriek in both of my hands, bandaged close to the body, dreaming black, an avalanche of wild roses, burn in the throat of taut whispers, yes a whisper, yes, a nerve of mercurial silver rivers the palms pinning wings with the stinging pulp of grey evenings, an absence gathered from the jagged folds of a phantom embrace, caught in the gentle acoustics of the cock’s crow, a gift to claw at my skin, in some savage dream, I give you seven hundred kisses, and then, my tears to guide your lips, twin to mine, the hull of the spine bows into depths, those you’ve left open for me, perilous, though they are against the aching of doves unfaithful to the body, dreaming and culled, from the ardent bough of roses, roses. 2005 copyright babygirLPress **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

a nerve of mercurial silver rivers the palms pinning wings with the stinging pulp of grey evenings, an absence gathered from the jagged folds of a phantom embrace, ~*~ I think I am beginning to see why I would rather have a bed of white carnations... You do grab, and twist, little one. I so enjoy reading you. |

and then, my tears to guide your lips, twin to mine, the hull of the spine bows into depths, those you’ve left open for me, perilous, though they are against the aching of doves (Loved that!)  Funny, doves are always the source of peace, and also in my dreams they are anything but. This was G-rate! |

this poem is a cascade of images and emotions, violent and ultimately lonely. I like it very much. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
