Poetess

Poetess

i am the twisted sister of a twister
lava lady just learning to boil
my words erupt 
yes they are mine
no matter the language
age or blasphemy
i will bid and they will obey

the garnet blood of passion
be it love or otherwise 
will spread its intoxicating infusion
to heat the feeble mind to intensities
that will make the priest weep in his vows
and down in the dives where the hip grinding
sweat soaking miasma of lust cradles
blues will be reborn 

I am the queen bee dripping with honeyed pearls
she who scratches with a stick in mud 
plays keys full of white lightening
here to spread sweet hot spice
on a gray woolsock world.

John Fleming Date: 10/22/2017 6:18:00 PM I must have missed this one, Patricia - fantastic read! This is much deserving of POTD -- very well done indeed! Although in my opinion this accolade is very much overdue...anyone of dozens of your poems are well worthy of such high award - fact! My very warmest regards, Patricia. :) john Login to Reply

Michael Vacek Date: 10/16/2017 9:37:00 AM "Keep spreading your sweet hot spice on this grey woolsock" of a man. Every line of this poem enlivens my curiosity with vivid imagery "dripping with Honey pearls." A delectable dish with hints of bitterness and a hot and spicy flavor with a sweet finish. This is now a favorite poem of mine. Login to Reply
