Poet Tacito Poet Free verse

Into You

Cohabitating with your floral penance,
I slow grind
With
Memories

All metaphorical bets,
Off

Jumping head first

Another solemn wish
Unto you
To caress my smile

Another didactic breath
For your silky, titanium retinas
To share this potent sway
Against time

I, grip
Rusty handle bars to ride
Upon your caramel sunsets

Sweetened with diabetic urges,
Feening
Feening

Inject me towards unbridled upbringings,
Chrysanthemum sentences
Etched upon your neck
Of Egyptian cotton awakenings

…

I do not want to be your tomorrow,
Because that could never be promised

Yet, all we have is today.

Because all we have is today.

All we have is today…

Scott Thirtyseven December 16, 2014 at 7:07 AM So many great images here, some simply surreal but so appealing. A bit like reading a paisley print. What a journey. Poet Tacito January 7, 2015 at 1:07 PM I can really dig that description, Scott. :) Thank you so much!

Carrie Richards October 26, 2014 at 5:36 PM Just wanted to stop by on this last poem you posted (which is, of course, uniquely one of a kind....your own signature!!)....but also to say that you are missed by those who loved to tune in and listen to you and your guests!

Kim Van Breda October 25, 2014 at 5:20 AM Now I remember.... your poetic talents!!!! It's been awhile, but reading your work always inspires me to upgrade mine. You set a high bar Mr. Drake with this one. I love the line....."another didactic breath.. For your silky titanium retinas"-- the eye... both the mirror and reflection of the mind. My new book....has eye illustrations for both the front and back cover Xx~Xx Poet Tacito October 26, 2014 at 11:10 PM Hey, hey, Kim!!! It has certainly been awhile! I hope things are going good back in SA with the family?? Your words, per usual, strike such a positive chord with me. Thank you so much!
