Lay dreaming on the beach
Listening to the ocean roar
Ecstasy filled my soul with delight
My mind wandered ~
I filled the night's chalice with knots of desire
My heart raced ~ faster
Pulsating beats of rhythm
To the sound of the ocean
Splashing vigorously in my mind
Intense heat filled my body
Dripping with sheer ~ delight
My heart missing beats
I learned how to live unkissed, until ...
That night changed everything
I screamed ~ “Tie me to your Tongue “
Please, please ~ I’m begging now
Passed the stage of no return
Tonight is the night
Desire ~ becomes fire
It’s raining roses and love riots
Oh ! I feel your tongue caress me
I don’t want this to stop
I can take it ~ more~ more
The moon is an honest Manipulator
Brighter the moon shone, hotter I became
Is this a dream ~ or reality ?
I don’t wanna wake up
Feelings of desire, engulf me
Ocean calls me into you
If time turns, will scars stain the sky ?
In ¦¦¦ grey ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ silence ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ wranglers part;
And ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ tears
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ of the heart;
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ toss'd ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ crying
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ pains, ¦¦¦ each ¦¦¦¦ passionate mood, --
¦¦¦¦¦ lost, and ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ forgot, undying,
Comes ¦¦¦¦ the ecstasy of ¦¦¦¦ quietude.
¦¦¦ a ¦¦¦¦ ghost, beside ¦¦¦ misty streams,
Is haunted by strange ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ evasive dreams,
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Stars, ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ light on waving grass, he knows not when,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ but where, he cannot tell.
(Blackout of Hauntings by Rupert Brooke)
The dark room is a canvas of hidden shades.
Vibrations from veins in the sky thrill as they fade.
My reflection catches a sudden, wide smile,
Awe-struck by an ambience so raw and frightful.
My heart skips; the pulse is electrified.
Pulsating sparks strike sharp like hidden teeth,
Illuminating bare floorboards and weary bones.
Unfettered liberty shocks like the first brush of lips.
A current travels all the way down my spine.
I marvel at this ecstasy, this fire’s heat.
Life's force takes hold when abandon grasps and tears.
Reluctance surrenders to endeavors of splendor.
Stark white strobes strike—the dark is vanquished,
Leaving the room to shake in the heavy wake.
To my dear melancholy, I’m so sorry for my misunderstandings. All I ever wanted was to be understood.
Someone who experienced the same things I have.
Misreadings & misinterpretations.
I have been in a bind of feeling unreal in this world.
I’m hallucinating for greater days to come or my humbling experiences presented among others.
From my eyes, you will be deceived because I have told no harsh lie.
You may forget my entire name, appearance, and presence.
But I will always remember you.
Smiling as bright as ever like my heart was not being mauled alive.
Ecstasy, oh how you saved me from going completely insane.
Please don’t forget me.
LOVE
A feeling like no other
An essence that is unmatched
Love is like a potion...
To sip of it would be equivalent to consuming 1000 bottles of ecstacy
Love flies in unexpectedly
Like a beautiful phoenix ...
Perched on the windowsill of ones heart
Love arises a passion...
A passion that burns deep within ones soul
It ignites a fire that cannot be extinguished
A fire that burns effortlessly
Love is like a spell...
A spell that renders ones soul helpless
In the spell of love ...
Ones heart becomes a prisoner to its effect
Love is such my friend ...
It cannot be explained by mere words
For it surpasses all understanding
Which our minds cannot fathom...
By
LEAH JADE
Soaring on a cloud
gently numbed
in esoteric heights
beyond the strident boom
and strobe glare
of leviathan
rearing to lasso multitudes
into cavernous jaws
that never rest
forever famished
in a perpetual stasis
of angry craving.

____________________
Trust is substance of things hoped for truthful
kaleidoscopic is mythopoeics of Spirit
collective consciousness seeks sensibility
single songs rooted
Ecstacy rests on belief and compassion
inductive reasoning no toil to rich soil
task completion depends on harmony
fulfilment follows
Use alignment of dimensions acutely
Sisters ! impresss subjective on cosmic mind
ether surely holds what is ached for not sold
bold with Absolute
In relationship serve finely each other
allow answers to birth deeper questions
making muddy unconscious conscious to Light
Love is stardust kites
Wise are wise only because they love tender
foolish are foolish because slender is Heart shut
shadows burn when ascension is not earned
fall not into rut
Timeless presence is what we look for, Femmes !
we are thingness of life, seeking I-ness of life
form comes then disappears like pears on trees
let NO-thing come with ease

She got you singing the best song she ever heard in her life
Just thinking about her was enough to make you smile
You keep thinking "I can't really believe that she's mine"
Everything just turned out to be a surprise.
After so many years of being a friend
You could buy her the best wears in latest trend
You could barely close your eyes while lying on your bed
And then you got the whole stadium singing about her, yes!
Oh! What an incredible feeling
When you're with her, you're barely thinking
Looking at the stars, she's with you all night
Describing the feeling is hard, but it was indeed sublime!
Oh! What a feeling of extreme ecstasy!
You couldn't bare to look away for a minute
This feelings, you're sure would never wear off
You were determined to do it whatever the cost
She also was always flabagasted
She also wished the whole thing lasted
She seemed to be the brightest diamond in life
And she'll forever be your treasure in the sky!
Go-go gadget, withdrawals no more,
a toast to addicts—there’s treasure on the floor.
X marks the spot, scribbled in Crayola,
connect all the dots—ecstasy, the night is over.
From Rock ’em Sock ’em robots to rocks in socks, a show-off,
hungry hungry Zippos, the money swells my lymph nodes, a lovely something sent ghosts—
right outside your windows,
trust no one, innuendo,
the night piggybacks the sickos.
I feel far from home, yet remotely close to sin,
my coffin’s so inviting—volunteer, I jump right in.
Fundamental frequency, but I only hit the high note,
incidental contingencies, lies in every word that she spoke.
Intentional indecency—my clip could use a reload,
a spectacle illegally, items bought without a barcode.
I yearn for entertainment, chose the red pill, hide from agents,
time’s complacent, me and drugs—true love, it’s our engagement.
And if I ever said “drugs make me a better me,”
I’m sorry that I lied—every night,
I cry myself to sleep.

******
velvet dusk holds still
ecstasy seeps from wet lips~
alabaster wounds
the vast verdant valley was so vivid
beneath the weeping willow
so thrilling for me and near each other
I breathe in her fragrance deep.
can I write a poem
or only rhyme
I’m not sure where I’m goin’
it’s one word at a time
like data through a modem
still, I hope for the sublime
a psychospiritual novum
to delight a reader's mind,
show how jaded skepticism is ho-hum,
and like sex, ecstatically manifest the divine
.
.
A song for this:
The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows by Gang of Youths
Palo Alto by Jack River
AMNIOTIC FLUID
I am your amniotic fluid
imbibe me
I am your amniotic fluid
I nourish you
implode me
impetuously
lengthen laugh strengthen
through me
master thighs
thyroid open palms
create hips high
or low
lingering
touch bones bygone
birthing
within my dantien
dome
Source sparkles spice
from rice roses
rubies
I am your
amniotic
fluid muse
mould mysteriously
myself
gold goblets silver
spiral slivers
soft
exploring explanations
exploding
ecstasy
exists
endlessly

Arose a feeling
Absolutely amusing
What a ecstacy!
Steady laughter
Everyone dancing crazily to the beat
It's party time
Partying until morning.
Racing on mind
Faces of different people
Dancing and smiling
Shouting aloud, singing along
As the DJ keep banging it
I'm the highest in the room
I got a blurry vision
So niggas and es got two faces.
It was Christmas eve
Christ the reason for the season
A new born king, love the message
As we creating beautiful memories
Happy, crazy and lovely memories.
Like a huge pride of lions roaring at ease
From a hidden cavern in the distance ,
The disturbed robust sea diffuses resonance -
In an infinite expanse of sonorous breeze
The heavy, grey clouds gathering above ,
Let out at times , the bright silvery line ,
Now by chance to smile and then to decline,
Bracing the dismal spirit and hope somehow
All along and everywhere the fit of feel --
The relentless wild beat and serene symphony
Turns into the note of remorse and agony ;
Lived moments pass into the coffer to retreat
What ails one standing before the sea at large ,
Is it the inner reflection of the distressed soul
Or the enigma that covers life on the whole ?
May be the pelagic domain has its own surge
The eerie bearing of contained life all around
Seems to be centred in the rhythm of some
Cosmic order and muse of uniform humdrum
In the extreme ecstasy again is agony found !
