Liaison Dangereuse

“liaison dangereuse”
Tear a thin line along my skin softly velvet finger tips no nurses gloves down my neck along my throat with something sharp like words on a tongue like I’m one of the gentility heard soft as a block of butter hard from the fridge I'll slowly melt I’ll listen to your breath while your skin burns me liaison dangereuse with your hands tight around my wrists arms spread yet not undressed to make me want to feel something more than a little scribbling more than a little this some kind of beautiful dangerous coursing through my veins the most cunning sweet addiction velvet lips moist and pink Sea Peony smells of Ocean and legs wrapped around the salty seaweed I am tight and never free I don’t need you or drugs or alcohol to vape or bleed my time away no I don't need you yet, in my mind you smell like petrichor you smell of lightening storms electroconvulsive just before your rain washes over me you’re electric I am wired by your currents passing through my sex-starved brain sucking up your atmosphere your smoky eyes my opium dark feathered you ordain you request me to strut into your room dressed in mere delicious rhyme let me walk bare feet over your razor sharp line of burning coal conditions and think not long or hard for a second or maybe two about wasting away more percolated perilous time in my egocentric measurements of you a body of work tied to your chair fingers bleeding over keyboards Necromancer immersed in your dark games Delivering Heaven to Hell wrapped in Christmas and its tin foil I sift through the buds of you that’s my addiction cuts deep and smokes my mind phantosmia every damned demented time I am reading you I breathe in your scent you’re rolled in jucy jays, you taste like a perfect Kir Royale fresh strawberries on the tongue much later peppermint you are my after dinner mint naked skinny dipping breasts like vanilla blancmange jiggling Yuletide cherries ripe and red pointing up towards God not asking anymore for blessed absolution there I go thinking about Sex… again - what can I say in my defence - addicted? I am a mess of contradictions slow deep massaged in Sweet Orange Neroli and Jasmine Body Oil Addicted LUST is a terrible addiction murmurating heart slowly long legs part you are reading the Dead Sea Scrolls Agent La Provocateur sitting in a shallow cocktail glass immersed in you dry piquant and fizzy replace glass with bath - drenched deep in bubbles that smell like fresh cut silver grass something liquid and refined - and you ask if not now then when? suffocating silent perdition smiles and laughs succulent seduction sizzles through the flying grenades a field of Episcopalian angels throw mind cloudy scries half-opened windows through the dopamine glass glazed Neurotransmission danger zone addiction waves hello Sailor hello You incoming pleasure I’m addicted. You too? l'imagination dans un lien sombre dangereux (LadyLabyrinth /2020)

In the light I saw her tunnel and as if it were Paris one knew it had to be of love.

n.b. A note from one of my young avid compadre writer friends off page, "It's real good! So does writing lead to sex or sex lead to writing? Or do they both come from the same place? I liked it a lot Leanne!" - I fear I am turning into the female version of Henry Miller. My response below:

Be careful of the Demon swilling the Devil's Urine (something like kerosene) and spitting flames. It is the festive season, oh such a joyous time, on the downhill run to New Years Eve and into the debauched halls of academia.

She's not a girl who misses much, oh yeah She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy Working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the National Trust I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the pits that I left uptown I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Mother Superior jumped the gun.....Happiness is a warm gun, shoot, shoot...(the rest is just pure genious).

I immersed myself in these words, several times until my heart was full, my remote needs satiated. This was true splendor to read. Truly Leanne, your work is stunning. It is visceral. This piece, sakes alive!

My troubling addiction is writing. Next comes my child. More than likely, move the 2nd to 1st place. This is where the Light gets in. Regards Mother Superior Jumped the Gun.

“August came like a slap in the face. She f***** all her heat into me The nights became a living nightmare Color blind sunsets had me mesmerized Silent heavy air with no one inside July let me go with the sea She stood there handing me over to the future I seemed farther than ever before July she watched me die under the arms of August September lived in harmony She took me by the hand And gave me one more chance October and a century of life.” Patricia Rezai, Submerged in a Garden of Lust

“Our life story is a reflection of our internal poetry in motion, a poem which lyrical lines croons life as a groping accident, a playful roughness, a throbbing ordeal. Life’s posy permutations jell together to create a brawly emotional ambiguity. An interlacement of untidy paradoxes, fastened by a tincture of pyretic hopelessness, sounds the charming pitch of life.” Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“The apartment faces an alley and is entered by a fire-escape, a structure whose name is a touch of accidental poetic truth, for all of these huge buildings are always burning with the slow and implacable fires of human desperation.” The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Williams
