Marriage of Oil and Water

Cups thrust high, A diving umbrella licks at many fingers, 
rose water licks - and seeks our elbows for a plunge and gathering below. 
Now echoes the trumpet prelude, a brilliant flash of praise, 
almost a ritual proclamation. 

It matters none friend whether you're pro or con.
-When has it ever?
Let us climb the high sun groping forest, 
and consume together with glee split faces, 
the sloppy viscous sex of misanthropy and philanthropy.

Written by my husband Thielus.

James, I think you got the wrong impression about this poem. Oh well, that's the great thing about poetry, like a painting, it will be interpreted a thousand different ways by a thousand different people.

Marriage of Oil and Water, is like Fire and Ice > in fact this science is negative husband and wife > life or strife. Let opposites attract, it affects me none, but if it does for you, then your journeys began >> awesome piece Thielus >> James
