Creaturely

Rough hands upon her,
not near, there, or where,
nor the seashell tip of a fingering care
            or other
            lack-lustering lapping's
but the groundless clubfooted grasping
                  of long incoherent passions.

A clinker of desire hammered anew
                by the forceful hands
of mist shrouded Nibelungen;
a dross now forged bright
  into red-eyed gleams of flame.

She who bears the weight
of such a slobber-lipped changeling
                covers his paws
with a tracery of spidery entanglements
the softest spell-binding webs
          that break his knuckles;
refining hot bones
              into phantom kisses.

For her satisfaction (and hers alone),
she captures that clumping stray
            caging him deep,
  and he left with no hands but hers.

Spacious Sky

How bountiful is the spacious sky
Releasing breaths in a single sigh

My soul is calmed by the rising sun
Revitalizing rays lively spun

Intoxicating aromas play
Winds of desire baroque their ballet

Landscapes levitate their mountain peaks
For Angels attend as Heaven speaks

Night nestles with the mesmeric moon
The Mockingbird sings a starry tune

Lovers cocoon where shadows seduce
Amidst spacious sky lustering loose.

 Star-struck

S-tuck in the ceiling of the clear night sky,
T-ell me, are you three, five or seven pointed?
A-s my way is consumed by the darkness,
R-eveal my path with your brilliant twinkles.

S-truck!, I was mystified from a tender age,
T-ruly, are there more of you than sand grains,
R-adiating energy eternally through the cosmos,
U-niversally sought for a peek into the future,
C-lustering to aid navigation and time telling,
K-eeping us Star-struck from birth till death?

Hey Dear, we're here
It's where you've always dreamt
Ever since you slumbered such
In slevering content

Remembering back home
It's somewhere you always declared
You said it would excite you such
Mmm, my trouser leg you'd stare

Of pants and different pants
Your lustering descriptive tongue
Absorbing the poetry from me
Mmm, honestly, am I well hung

Lets go down-town my beautiful
Just like Petulia in song sung
I guarantee, never be scored by me
Where Manhatten hearts, strung

Hey Dear, we're here
It's where you've always stored
Ever since you slumbered such
Whilst slevering, you'll never be bored

Like An Oyster

Like an oyster


Left now only
with a belt of pearls
I peel and palm each lustering orb
whilst whispering your names
reverently,
till the call of dawn  

and this….
after invading your , sometimes,
sacred spaces ,
oh !
so brusquely

but then again…..
you ,
naturally,
like an oyster,
haloed and held
my rough intrusion
deep inside your quivering fibres and folds…..
churning and turning
the irritation into a tear-like pearl,
or was it rather,
after the ache ,
a pearl-like tear?


And now…….
with the night
gelling around me a bounteous black pearl
I think of you
and your loose-limbed movements,
dearly,
and it eases like love,
loneliness away .



Truly…… 
you must be infused
by the same enveloping force ,
that now 
majestically orients 
this silver orb,
this pocked pearl…..
in my zenith .

The Seal of Sanity

Many lustfull luxuries,
lustering so luciuosly,
how many moons will fade before the sun?
Can't you feel this longing jeweler,
waiting for the lovely lunar,
to eclipse the empty canvas holding none?

Come fill the waiting piture,
suture up the fissure,
illuminate, whats dark and tiresome.
It's freedom the will free him from,
a picture that has fouled up,
and rotted all that is this, inprsioned one.

Without a jailer to realease it's spoiled,
stagnant and complaiciant toil,
pressure will result to fail the seal.
Once this man is broken,
he will search for wounds to open,
within everything, and all the he can steal.
For consiquince meens nothing,
and heartache seems like stuffing,
to a seething man who can no longer feel.

Those who neglect this warning,
will soon erect a mourning,
within the wreckage of all they used to know.
For he will spare no other,
consuming souls benieth the cover,
of the quilt that you and all the others sew.

Be weary of wich cross you hold,
its body might contain the mold,
Imprisioned, with no jailer to be told.


Pinky

in your sweet, lovely voice
words of love,confirm my choice
its gay tone,disdains life's bane
with its sorrow,mind would strain

in your black, sleek hair
shiny curls,make me stare
a lustering bunch of grace
hugs with fondness,your striking face

in your lonely,worried eyes
Pinky,let, the golden hopes rise
endow them ,with the Mighty light
on the eve of the Christmas night
