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
