John Lawless Poet Verse

Eye Pod

EYE POD

an apparition rises
beckoning me
draw closer
inhale the substance
of this moment

deep rainbow swirls
hypnotize my psyche
erase the dimness
of a nether world’s
lingering lethargy

stoic redolence awaits
enticing wakefulness
torturing time’s tardiness
beguiling each breath
“come hither” - “I am yours”

Ah, to sip the nectar
touch the edge of warmth
caress the craven pleasure
succumb to the darkness
before dawn

Julian Scutts December 27, 2017 at 6:50 AM An intriguing poem with manifold reverberations. Personally, I recall Edgar A. Poe's story The Sphynx," in which a physical event close to the eyes creates a vision of things mystical or transcendental.

Becca Teagan December 26, 2017 at 3:50 PM Wow. This is beautifully sprinkled with alliteration and laced with sensuality. Very nice, John.
