Long Smoulders Poems

Continued from Part 2
Ah Consuela! I’m watching as lightning at midnight in green Spanish eyes
kindles cracks within crystals like flashes from pistols
                 residing inside of the gloom
as it hovers above us betraying a dove as

I promise — that ain't me
I'm not the guy in the mirror
The guy is so beardy
Cheeky faced
With a big thick lips
That isn't me

Remember when I smile
It's a crooked one
One side of my lip
Seems to go...

Those who savour do know well the taste, 
The rest may form but the images abstract; 
Unsubstantial eyes penetrate deep into realities, 
But the carnal look with superficial glance. 
Spent I time pondering over the...

I will weave you a story fit for all ears
Of a special girl who is very much loved
A precious gift who was sent from above

A fallen angel who we are...

he wants to turn the world into rubble.

Do you see the frame or the cage?
Step beyond and into this: a rare and colourful bliss,
island of calm in an ocean of rage...
Yesterday, the thunderous sunder of schizoid storm.
Today, this eden of balm where...

Drawn to the graves

Unbeknown clarity develops like root canal treatment
festering wounds and scull bones loom on the route

In reason and feeling I have no choice but to venture
an ancient drill grinds away carbon in my...

Inglenook 

She, the face in the embers, 
The remnants of a raging fire,
Smoulders like a cigarette
Between lips of lustful desire. 

Where men stoke in gay abandon, 
Pokers hot as blacksmiths arms, 
To fade and die...

Down The Years 

O, my blanket smoulders, 
     too warm for you and I, 
Drape, my dear, your shoulders 
     and not upon your eye. 
Lay between...

There stands a blackened tower
Shrouded in a ghostly white
The tomb of seventy two
From a day that drags on hour by dreadful hour
As we reflect upon that ghastly night
A day so many live to  rue.

I bring you Fire

Fire smoulders and branches crackle which smears the ground blackish grey ashen 
Feed these flames that rise and dance around naked orange red and blue with passion
The ascension lifts hearts to warm...

The fire crackled and spat out embers
that gleamed brightly in the hearth.
Yet unattended they soon died away
to become dull grey ash particles.

Just like a fire need laying and tending
so too does love to help it...

Fire in the Blood

How we love your warming glow 
Yet know that we must fear you so
For you would set our hearts ablaze
With your subtle creeping ways

The warming glow the heart desires
Not roaring anger of...

I wish I were a seasonal bird, 
That travels flying around the world, 
With sweet companionship of a partner, 
Whose heart knows nothing except, 
Faithfulness, how to share the pangs. 

Then I fly with the...

The wail fills the genesis;
you are not living in me any more.
Outside a grey mist of absence prevails.

For a while there was stillness
of white death, then roaring of a 
hurricane, before it struck the ancient...

Her hair, her beautiful blonde curls, 
Her hair drapes to her butterfly shoulders.
And I stand beside her, a quiver, 
As my love, my lion hearted love, smoulders.

Her lines, her wine glass curves, intoxicate,
Get me drunk...

Buried deep within the five sheaths of form
Connected to ego through senses five
Inner polarity feels bliss throb warm
Essence of presence in the void does jive

Truth of our being, within and around
Closer than breath, intimate as...

Love spills over
pouring from a cobwebbed heart
nowhere to go from where it flows
but in sensual empty words
touching strangers souls
Verses of passion escape
fuelling a fire that never glows
but smoulders in jealous embers
Romance and desire gushing
from every...
