Flesh Poems - Poems about Flesh

She walks through the world with a quiet grace, A spark in her eyes, on a sunlit face. Laughter like music, clever and wild, With the soul of a queen and the heart of a child. She hides her light behind a broken smile, Counts her flaws and lives in denial. Not knowing her words could bend the sky, Or that gods...

You arrived like dusk— not falling, but folding the sky inward, your body a benediction I knelt to translate. No prayer passed my lips, only the hush of devotion, tongue pressed to the scripture written in your trembling. And when you opened— not like a door, but like dusk releases the bloom too shy for daylight— I drank not of desire but of trust, poured full. Your thighs curved...

After The Psalm of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow One need not continue seeking, For that elusive, immortal dream. Our bodies aging, joints creaking, Yet we each have, before unseen... A body that's made of spirit, That breaks forth when this flesh dies! And the grave, we need not fear it; Yes, death will come...

The rustling of leaves interplays with the ocean breeze, as traces of moonlight escape through blackout curtains hanging from steel rods. Bolts of illumination highlight stacks of books caked in dust, while a man, decrepit with age, sits on a worn auburn-coloured leather chair. His balding hair is grey from years of turmoil. Wrinkles lay heavy, nestled deep within his...

What is it that you need from me? - I pray that you do tell. For everything I've offered - hasn't gone over too well. Patience as you grow? - As you learn from your mistakes? No, that cannot be it - because you've never really changed. Could it be understanding? - For me...

HEARTS of gold will melt in the heat of scorn n'pride, where greed is born. hearts of stone feel no pain, loss, nor happiness again. numb to sorrow but also peace... imprisoned in stone with no release. a heart of lead, so heavy with poison, with bitterness, regret, weighing you down into the dark~ into depths to drown. a heart of clay will grow stronger in the oven...

no sound in a cascade of nerves submerged amid a myriad of silences a serpentine fold slices through the viscera and a breath of phosphor burns in the chest’s hollow a crawling rhythm of an aborted name shapeless a lunar longing locks into the bones among the remnants of a collapsed nebula I do not heal I do not return I am flesh that refuses form...

Long ago, when the sun and earth were one flesh held tight When male and female were one light Shining as the white moon, turning as the wheel of night We had immeasurable might Because we had four legs, four ears, eight eyes and four hands We had two faces that looked towards the heavenly lands Saklas, terrified of...

When will she come to me To take me to that place Where I suppose, we shall be free Like spirits in the space The fortuneteller gave reply Ambiguous and wise But no advice on what to try Should I just close my eyes Engage myself into the realm Of pure imagination And it’ll make me overwhelmed With the enforced elation There, on the boat of dreaming...
