Hello February

Hello February
Bleeding me gory
Bleak house
Month of short encounter
New fresh beginning
Thawing out of the freezer
January.

Hello  indecision
Blowing hot and cold
Bloody nose
February knows
To  keep a low profile
Mulling over  past woes
The  path ahead is still long enough
Paved hopefully with good intentions
We shall see how it goes

For me personally
February heralds
A birth and a death
Young life born
Venerated old one lost

Snuffed out  poof!
The  long burning candle.
This Month is elegant fast paced
Transitional
A time to take stock
What  is gone
What is best to let go
Compact calender
Of only what
We can handle.

Hello February
You have  your crisp
Cool glory
Before the scents of summer
Come marching in.

Those Eyes

Those Eyes

Two stark eyes stare a world of longing
soot black lashes softly stinging
Two stormy gems of smothered pleadings
heart's capped fire in
Those dark eyes...

Sapphire jet coppery-amber marbles
Green waterfalls that softly tumble
Like rusty wine in sparkling goblets
Those dark eyes...

Messaging unwary bleeding passion
Earthing your current to safe pretensions
Shot gold threads of silk desire
Those dark eyes...

Rueful highlights of pain glossed shadows
Drowsy afternoon's soulful shuttered windows
Slated for wiping and erasing memoirs
Those dark eyes...

Looking through hungry glass of the haunted soul
These twin apertures become mute  wailing walls
Sunlight swallowed up and swimming sinking into dead
dreams behind
These dark eyes...

An enchantment a true spell so binding
Wizards wands starts to do their bidding
A starry night a dark goodbye
...In
Those  dark eyes.

Erosion

Ok....a little bit sensuous.  :)
Erosion.

Hold me in slender honeyed wrists
Shal I touch where sun has kissed?
Sip you through my thirsty eyes?
Warm sunflecked skin and cold lips like ice.

Your eyes command my swift desire
Struggling I melt to contain my fire
your sardonic eyes smile sweet abuse
And I'm mere substance for your use.

You arouse me to heaven's hidden dares
lost in your caress I lose all care
Who am I and whose are you?
But something borrowed is always blue.

I bite my swollen lips to curb appeal
Still your kisses seep in my soul to steal
Till all form and flesh are fuzziness
And You're  centerpiece of my stormy haze.

You lean in and out and turn me about
Like I'm a toy, a doll you're playing around
I am soft passive wood till you embrace
and then my mouth flowers for your face.

And so I'm lost in love's land of grace
Where langour rules and pace abates
And all I care for are your hands  command
That stroke my soul straight through wonderland.

No Name

No Name

I'm a beloved being of light
A joyous silken sylvan sprite
I want to share this view with you
An enchantment that holds so true

Watch
Cold as crystal  flippant locks
Kiss gold and caramel of stately rocks
Prancing dancing splashing wild
Liquid lust filled silver, upon gold hermits piled.

The earth and nature pleases me
Volatile amidst stability
Up and down the static ground
mutablity makes its rounds

Constant first as a beam of light
Then prism splinters our delight
The fixed immovable only so appears
The heavens
Ever aligning in moving spheres.

I'm a blinking winking star
Light rushing through a billion years
My cold and lonely lovely tears
are losses steering me past my fears

Faster harder much further than
Gearing up for a greater span
A quantum leap to unknown bounds
Where there's no loss and
All are found.

For highest peaks, are not for weak or meek,
Thought bows its arrows to those who seek
Raises the lowest upon such princely plinth
The vantage boasts vast array of tints

There loquacious winds shall kiss away our shields
The very mould of moments we shall wield
Our will become our ecstacy
Reality child born of fantasy.
Nature to Imagination yield.

I'm fortune's favored child
Born to rebel uprooting night
A fortuitous infinite speck of light
Freedom's feckless reckless kite

My only anchorage to earth from far above
Is your blessed blissful unending love
Love my primal cause of being
Love your only means of seeing

No tag, no label, no self can my nature tame
All Rules ruled out in the cosmic game

But blue skies, white stars, green earth and mountains, brown and black
Know that what goes around comes forever back
What  Is
Will be again
Is formless
Is limitless
Is that unity
Which one cannot

Derision Tapestry Intrigue

For the challenge topic. Derision Intrigue and Tapestry.

Sweet dreams

Sweet words woven fine
Nifty weft and warp of it
Divine
Your photograph
held up to my cheek
Mouthed whispered words of bliss
Remembered.

But you were not
able to keep your face
Straight.
The cleft chin
Sweet devilish dimples
Twinkling eyes
Sparkled merriment
Messaging its derision at
My naiveté
Bewildered.

Guile weaves intricately
the tapestry of intrigue.
Baffling gullibility.

Stand back to the wall
And watch
Sunlight fall into its
Bewitching hazel green
Now ochre now chrome.

I'm flown upon its magic carpet
Over blue basins
Bottomless lessons
To be learnt
And now it
Shimmers green.

Envy is frightening.
Delusions cause
Paralysis
A slow stiffening
Sickening stuffiness in
the full woven fabrication
Of an emperor's new clothes.

More rigid than
Rigor mortis.

Finally naked truth
Stands up
with straight faced
Derision.

Devolved from
Duplicity.
Psychopathic tendencies
To maintain my illusions
Makes a murderer
Out of me.

Killing the truth of you
Birthing the lie of me
Making a marriage
Out of this
Mental asylum,
Wilful duplicity.

I want you to know that I care
That I wish to let you go
In peace.
...but wishful thinking snaps open
A pandora's box of intrigues
Chuckles of derision...
Demons
Crackling knuckles.
Chicken hearted submission
to slaughter house
Of longing.

Take care...unravel every string
take apart at the seams
Designated dreams.

What may come
Through
Could be
A singular ray
Of sunlight.

Soul Meetings

Silence
Depth
Reflections
The mirror turned inwards
Scanning darkly
Amazonia
Broadleaf caresses
Of generalizations

Steer clear of the jungle
Souls need clearings
Needs blue skies
A sunlit blurry dazzling

My soul needs an exorcism
Not a beating
Out the spirit
From its sanctuary.

The best of me
Looks like the worst of me
Chimera sisters
Can we deny
The same womb
Mothered us?

We shared
Sanctum Sanctorum
O be your sister's keeper
Dance with me
On the  Dark Side

Sanctify estuaries
Mists strange lights
Will o' the wisp frozen
flames of the forests
The livid light
Mortified blushes
The burnt out burning
Glance
Of hatred.

Mort d'amour knows
No crypt.
In darkness prowls blood brilliant heart
Dragging crimsoned stake
Through it.

Three's a crowd an odd number
...a desperate pairing
Household on stilts...
Three pronged table
weakly charged attractions causing repelling.

So  pas de deux
Or sweet I dance solo
With every atom of
Intention.

There's a bond an affinity for rootstock to reach dark waters
The shooting stem forgets
Regurgitating cells
From its heights reached

From tallest tree that courts your flaming sun
My lips shall cry out
How parched thirst was
Met
Only when we dug
Underground.

Earth meets earth
Ashes turn dust
Lifetimes are limed
put aside to rust
If you are
Lusting for light
Come underneath the crust
And arise afresh
Natal
Brilliance rebirth....

prayers are not for
Blind unhearing Gods...
Nor for pass by night mutant alien kings
For own sweet sake do sing
Let veins be washed clean
Of wilful muddying

Praying my light can adore
My darkness
Praying for space
Where grace embraces
Guilt in hope
and rewrites
Fate.
