Forgotten by the vast sea-
It shrivels like skin....

Calloused hands trace red velvet,

My world is a stage....

Tricky is the fact of the meter changes.
Stress or non it can but confuse the reader.

of the stars & scars
as they nest
in your eyes
while the tip of my tongue
& lines of my palm
trace on your skin
poems even i

Exuberant waves

race toward the beach in bliss

with rhapsodic sounds-

burst with joy as they embrace

its warm curves with eager writhes.

Acquiescence




For want of acquiescence of passion
the anxious soul writhes and meanders aghast ...

Ripples fade on shore
as there will be next to fade
like a shipwrecked soul
who risks and writhes in defeat
like a dropping leaf on scream

With thine hands I touch ~
Gentle sighs echo within,
whilst crimson lips touch ~
Unconventional writhes quake,
amidst satin sheets are we ~

Mortally wounded, 
a soldier writhes
in pain,

     crawls bloody 
     on the bloodied 
     earth.

From up a cliff 
a sniper takes 
aim again

     to finish off a task 
     with neither rage 
     nor mirth....

Pink lace and satin
 cool sheets merge
  with perfumed breeze

A tigress writhes on them
  restless, eager to please

Ruby lips fairly smolder
  her curves all aligned
Undo the strap from her shoulder
  Tell her, 'You're mine'...

desperate
earth cries, writhes in pain
       ebbing strength
          self defense
not vengeful for extinction
      but new beginning

choking the 
confessions of
sins she
couldn't commit-
stuck in performance

a demon appears and we are it
perhaps a remnant of our past
like a dying snake, it writhes awhile
however this nonevent will not last

perhaps there is no form we were not
it matters little now as we reflect
having embodied light of Self within
our luminous aura is love flecked...

Down the dying corridor of time

 the incarnation forms,
 evil materializing...............
Monster with your hooded sight,
somnolent eyelids,
flutter feathery desire,
love writhes
in rending hands,

wretched hands hold
the christine cup passed amongst
the black robed circle,
aloft to the lips of the languisher
as her scarlet sleeve shrinks.
grieving, wailing mother
watching it writhe,
it writhes,
a baby bloodless,
it dies
& this cold night, the blood,
it dries
to our moon-lit lips....

Once truth is judged delusion,
  we choose the lesser of two lies

Abandoning that voice unheard,
—stillborn, a baby cries
  
The ideal in dark remission,
  all hope now cast in flames

Making bargains with the Devil,
—as the future writhes in pain

Meet a gender bender.
There was a precocious 
revolt.

A cryptogamic kinship.
Someone writhes 
ecstatically.

A god writes a hymn 
on the chest of
a new born baby.

Beyond the origins
lies a marbled tale.
You have reached nowhere.

Inflammable was
the blue birthmark.
There was an arrival.

norah jones 
writhes and moans
while making love

then quickly dresses
because time presses
there

in her other life
as mother and wife
where

husband ted 
breaks wind in bed 
after sex

as she lies still 
to his will
and thinks of this

every hour counted
until next mounted
and loved...

I hear the wild wind whistling
through the willows,
a wily, wanton wind with wicked ways,

    It wails 
        and writhes 
            and wrestles 
        with the windows,
        
And woos the trees 
    with its wild, wicked gaze,
    
But when it's done, 
    it disappears 
        without a trace....

Rusted spiers
Splinted by liers,
Triers in sin
And all that is wrong
Mounted in untruth
Where they've been for so long

Dented hopes
Noosed with ropes,
They team with darkness
Writhes with ire
A most jaded wretchness

Our ghouls within
Away won't spin
Din of fear
Clear not the future
But danger to come
Fighting fast is the creature....

In my traditional house, I live only with you for years.

Leaning on your airy form, learning the art to
One with you, I dissolve in the sensuous air.
Valor of my heart, you kiss me in my dream with the
Eternal veil of love over your eyes.

Yet, my heart writhes with the burden
Of longing to cling you in my arms to be
Unified into one....

Do not be deceived.
When Lust is enticed,
She opens up 
And searches round
To find Temptation
Which is erect.
He ravishes her
And thrusts his seed,
Then withdraws
After she conceives;
Sin is formed.
Within her womb
It writhes and kicks;
Her water breaks.
She brings forth death
Beloved brethren.
