Long Ludovico Poems

"Cherish Armour"


She 
wears 
Her armour,

LOVE -

draped like chain mail
shields You 
with Her heart

When She is drowning
She will throw You to the sure
safe for Your future

And She will cry of lost children 
morbid oblivion, 
damnation and...

"Voluptuous Bullets"



In the game of Love and War
voluptuous bullets
penetrate a mouth of warm words

Lacking defence lines 
boundaries come undone 
in the valleys of a body let loose

Depth charged oceans seduce
and submerge the sensual mind
civility replaced...

Down the aisle where two worlds meet,
Separation and fate meet together,
And a lonely traveler walks through the fog,
Following the call of your heart.

He is looking for something that is not in this world,
What can fill...

Creating an inspired drawing with her,
Subtle notes like a brush on canvas,
They create a world where we are together in tenderness and affection.

Your hand is on mine,...

When the other
side of night
came to collect its token

I was starlight
unsinkable invisible 
some uncaptured mystery

under the bickering feet 
of men, listening to 
their own voices

their pathetic...

We talking love
comittments
and obligation

noble thoughts
thrilling reflections
positioning me
into a lovers usefulness
to disagree

keep you close
what we have...

If ever
You walk Cable beach
Say hello
To a girl I know
She’ll be sitting there
Come sunset
Under a wondrous sky
That will make you believe
In Gods and magic
And love too
If you gaze to long
Into her hazel eyes
You’ll know her
By...

"Logos" 


always there
walking tightropes
beside me

pre-existent

logos walking
parting 
waves in air

I turn my back 
on eyes that speak
lost knowledge imprint

I turn my back 
on recalcitrant
childhood dreams 

I turn around ; 

you, 
the shadow
still seen 

a ghost 
haunting
persistent

remain

still...

These soaring chords of white, these chords that lift
The heart and spirit with their stirring gift
Of simple harmonies and bold refrains,
That energize the measures they sustain
In bright transcending notes of lows and highs,
Which rise in...
