Poem
"Petrichor " Two minds have made an entrance magnetic bodies electric minions babble it’s just wasted white noise sandpaper against back stories hit The Wall of Wasted Time He’s read most between the lines He’s all hard hot and cool unruffled piercing eagle eyes forever on the hunt for willing prey She’s incognito in disguise seeking a challenge amongst the spoilt and unsoiled green-eyed fray the two watch in studied silence like heat seeking missiles they will find each other poles apart opposites light and dark fascinated they are each other’s mark the ozone is now charged the crowd dissolves invisible all their faces unread their lips unheard their madding mob words whispered all graceless passionless empty pages time departs the fuse is lit Two minds’ eyes connect both burning id reflect the moment before they met neurons travelling at lightning speed through pulse to fingertips reach out towards each other’s mortal form to touch the cerebral net then later find fingers reading skin like braille and thirst to drink from reigning lips the moment before the welcome storm hits hips to taste the salt in the cumulonimbus bursting blue feral hollows of their naked terraform the Two minds like absent gods high and lost in each other’s ocean bent and tossed live their story tattooed at the place where bodies leave clean sheets and souls connect electric bodies ignite La Petite Mort wave after wave their drowning moans ecstatically deplore their final becalmed silence approaching the sweet mercy of Petrichor (LadyLabyrinth/2018) https://youtu.be/5hFCZ1tzWR0 "Body Electric"/Del Ray "I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul" I Sing the Body Electric, Walt Whitman (American Poet, May 31,1819 – March 26, 1892) "The love of the body of man or woman balks account, the body itself balks account, That of the male is perfect, and that of the female is perfect." I Sing the Body Electric, Walt Whitman
