The Poet's Fire
The Poet’s fire
My well had dried up empty with all that remained in silence
a viscous gloom of scorching drought of inaudible screams
Painfully lost for words and devoid of meaning all
emotions and images were stuck in blank waning script
Corroded mumbles congested the voice trapped in my mind
concealed what seemed to never have been
An ink well barren from broken nibs shielding the mask
distanced withering intimacy’s length when the fire had gone
One step removed from homeless demise you lit my deserted passion
engulfed me with lava of a hot lover’s touches rhythm and rhyme
Two moons now stream as one seam of dreams wet wild and vital
Lunar infinity in pasturous pleasure full measure and intimate treasure
I drink from your fountain now we quench each other’s thirst
push and pull nectar through wetlands from gravity’s delight
Lotus flowers in our hair let down tingle in all the right places
Venus mango delta overflows shivering meter’s crescendo
We play our chords strings tunes inscribe fingertip poems from skin onto
skin tattoo love and compassion nibble irresistible verses
Kindle from mating of souls pulse convulse and create one language
one foreplay one intro one story one mountain one flute
We are children of delight lusting thrusting shivering from line to line
in each others arm loins dusting the cobwebs of yesteryear
You are my poet tree in motion we are art works in progress and
when the night has passed we write another breathless story
Our spring narrates in heart blood and passion now that fever and yearning
comes to soothe and to slither from serpent to labial match
You are my Goddess of tell-fire I am the Prince with that peach for your beach
When you crowned my muted longing you once more gave me words
