"The Unlit Flame at Blue Feather’s Cross Roads"
Words these days are seldom Red
like drops of lifeless blood falling cold on a hot frying pan,
sentences are scattered, stuck in Go Nowhereland,
semi-solid, immovable coagulating gelatinous, turning dark incorrigible
They are watched silently by pale ghost squadrons
of Life’s fleeing butterflies, who hover suspended
over their favourite pets all unfinished books,
dog eared and marked seams split
wagging loose tales in glass courts not clearly visible,
holding title on backs turned,
dusty spines lie there waiting to be chosen and stroked
legs of a journey opened up
and kissed all over again
Sons and Lovers
stand still whispering promises,
last minute sacrificial offerings of buried chapters
all unopened secrets to be lasciviously plundered
caressing green hearts like virgins tamed,
engaging minds to wrap wantonly around them, non-immortal,
igniting immortality and fame
tracing fingers silently fanning
untitled romance soft and downy
Unsatisfied and found forever wanting
until they find their flame,
a chosen book buried deep, moist with mystery,
burning like a candle in the dark unwavering, just
there they approach a wall, turning its pages,
holding tight for fear of letting go, they take pause
bookmarking the winter of their dreams,
to now seek alms and opened gates -
they stand there tall,
burning feet wingless
in a forest with many trees, leafless
in The Bardo, they wait
holding their unsure smiles as coins,
mouths pursed and heavy hearts
jangling like lost keys on wind chimes and smoking thuribles incensed,
tongues tripping full of all their unread stories
of times past when they were in their prime and glory
There in the ether
tightly closed and suspended,
a story waits, there
At Blue Feather’s Cross Roads
where there are no gates
Golden Wings are hidden
a body noble untouched in a burning bush
immortal and untamed
whispering seductively your unprophetic name
There in the dark morning brightly starless,
burns the soul made light, enlightened from the Valleys of Shadow
exposing ripe red-worded lips and shining through the glass darkly
mirrored eyes, it watches and waits like a bride bare stripped
Volatile as white phosphorus
Waiting to be stroked and lit
Welcoming napalm minds unexulted high not low
for a match to reign over slick swollen egos
It watches and It waits
voyeuristic and determining your merit
with license to carry you
out of the wastelands
from crest of mountain
to Cave of Treasures
It watches and It waits
whispering out your name
It watches and It waits -
