Obsession
“Obsession”
The lazy cat stretched full over me
filled the emptiness of a burning bed
my naked mind drifts in soft purrs velvet skinned
and morning feral my strings are plucked tightly, such a tease
drenched in early daylight, the awakening, the peeling away of the second skin,
starbursts dawn blinding as the burning light of the Sun rising within;
this magic jazz rolls Sunday morning all the way over
the book opens wide across talking limbs and tactile fingers caressing dreams
embedded in sex written white sheets, feels like riding love in open fields, such is the joy of sin,
next to holy communion it is next level, this wayward worshipping;
I lap it all up, the sound of being lost in a blazing blue heaven
tastes like sunbeams dancing in the arms of truth or dare Dandy Lions flirting,
they are pulling all my ebony strands in - words and thoughts - are silenced with a kiss,
the french talking of tongues, senses blown, all the way up, Ishtar's in sweet Babylon,
hands climbing the Jacob Ladder steps across a warm chest
full of dead and gone buried secrets where the heart beats
in unhurried ingénue time, and something like love always wins
read through Paradise’s unfathomable smiling blue-sky eyes
where flames are saviours like morse code twins.
The never-ending fall of a fantasy.
Obsession is the feline’s name;
Outside the Ocean calls Me,
