Flexuous Poems | Examples


Scarlet French Kisses

Long for the tender tormenting touch of her slips, a vermillion vice of the abyssal depths that lay within the merest brush of her breath, a zephyr's caress that set aflame the parched arid landscapes of my wasteland as sighs hollow echoes whispered promises grew, the inferno of my longing raged, a maelstrom of need that threatened to consume all reason, all restraint in the swirling crimson vortex of those velvets, the boundaries of our recurrent reality grew tenuous, and the tyranny of the flesh held sway as the flexuous uncharted curves of your caress became the acid test of my resolve, dissolving the fragile, varnished veneer of self control, as the confinement of thy desires began to dissolve like gossamer under the scorching waxen sun of ardent, copious passion.

As we entwined, visceral privilege awoke, like hydras flourishing in some foresworn elixir, every casual respite yawned vacant, sucked into the vampiric vortices of intolerably testy discontent. 

How provoking, this postponement of unbound reciprocity, tongue just grazing the tips of those plush velvet onyx lips, while catalyzing inveigling suspense

Premium MemberFlirtatious Spring

days chuckle praise of lavender fiery sunlight
whilst mistral wind impudent wave moves and alight

spring flexuous through unfolding a sigh of such
colour; soft velvet petals flirt for kindly touch

Premium MemberImaginations of Solitude

"Like the silence that screams, cursing solitude
... whispers of faith sing patiently with prayers"

                                              Regina McIntosh

IMAGINATIONS OF SOLITUDE

The scream, his palms unleashing Danse Macabre.
The sinister skeletons tapping digits
 against the ebon glow of candelabra.

The sinister skeletons tapping digits.
Ten bore into his human brain, the echoes
of full violin’s disquieted widgets.

Ten bore into his human brain. The echoes
releasing...releasing a wing and a pray’r -
elongated shadowbrush of El Greco.

Releasing...releasing a wing and a pray’r,
those fierce flexuous hues - the Spirit of grace.
The phantasm flees - a disturbed boneyard despairs.

Those fierce flexuous hues - the Spirit of grace.
His countenance resounding to see God’s face.

No Stone Unturned

When Love explodes with flexuous faces
No stone unturned as it defiantly displaces
Sanctimonious skies fill the abrasive air
As Love rambunctiously roams trying to pair

Sweet little lies become matriarchal mountains
As we throw our Love from fallacious fountains

In Love we beg we borrow and steal
In truth we hide and contiguously conceal
Emotions unleashed through guilted gates
For Love is no better than the one it hates.

Codger's Inspiration

I see..
You saunter lonely
At the far end of the
Flexuous narrow path 
Vivacious breeze fly occasionally 
Shaking white silken dress like a feather! 

I heed
Silent wild flowers adorned
Vivid colorful dressings 
And Smiled at you
Without giving even a slightest glance
 You walk forward

I feel 
You are wandering
No sense at all about your
Surroundings,
Somebody follow you	
Looking and sensing 
The charming movement …

I see
Tiny butterfly flying 
Lonely sun bird winging
Without  
Knowing the destination
To be reached..

I say
I am not a beseecher 
“Wait a moment
Put a glance backward
To seethe 
Codger, following you
Before disappear at the
Bend ahead”

Premium MemberThe Temple Drummer and Piper

for J.C. Alldridge

Flagellant!
Flexor of the Temple's
Flexuous moulded walls
The high reliefs sallying through your
Flaunting fingers
Wrap the holy-comer with your
Invocatory maul
While word of Vedic prayer
Seeps from some steepening Brahmin wall

O stretched bowel of your potted paunch
In perspiration's puffing piped paean
Rivet the eyes of man and god
Outside the walls of priestly palaver

Monotonic bell and OM
     OM and monotonic bell
        OM 
            OMM 
                OM

Premium MemberMind Travel

This is a journey of the mind
That travels through infinity
For all the thoughts left behind
Are needed for the last extremity

Time is like a winding tunnel
A vibrant flexuous underpass
That is elaborately exceptional
For the mind that’ll grasp it

Your inner soul is a passenger
Looking for its purpose
The literate mind surrenders
And knowledge becomes a must

Where is my destination
How far can time reach
There is no specific direction
For only time can teach

This is a continuous journey
With no beginning or end
You seem to travel indefinitely
And never reach the door that is opened

This is the travel of the mind
Though it appears to be far away
And ahead of you at all times
You find yourself understanding each day

This is a tremendous perplexity
For which we try to escape
By hiding parts of our reality
We never find a break

Those who sit and concentrate
Their mind is traveling far
There is a feeling you just can’t wait
To find out where you are

As I write of the mind
I know there’s no completion
This is a test that I find
To be of diversification
