Jewels Too

She is Red
Platinum aureate lighting
Aquamarine her subtle scheme
Grandiosity belie betraying
She wears matte for damp soft clothing
Jewels dripping through the trimming
She so unassuming She.....

Broken Constellation

Star fallin'
Cast too fast
Far too sudden
Sullen

Open hand
Blows birthday candles
Wavering waving
Wonderin'

Reflexes

I just gush about you melt
Semi-circle cannot help
Call it reflex impulse
That crumbles oblivion peripheral

There is none other like you
There is not one other
as you
There are no others conceivably who

Claim focus
most magnificent physics

So

... and so I do love you so
limp-eyelid folding I
your hair stroking
violin lambs wool halo

duet yearning yawn
dawn this soon for suck
succumbing cumming
we

delicious daylight devouring

strings part pulling
fluid bodies we

string vibrant aureate
playing parts
our parts parting

strings attached stroking
violet viola visceral memory

Nap Time

Your poet kisses
poems received in gratitude

for now, he naps
dreaming placid
facets you

shhh...
all is quiet
in torrent ridden
Toronto

he naps,
you his mind

island before
the rushing of hours

shhh...

you the warmth
still
so very gentle

Beautiful Game

These shoulders
almost wide enough
to play the hand
fountain quill fanning

talon wingtip splayed

My God;
You The One So Beautiful
we the airborne glide drawing

cards laid
tenuous tempest
hearts and spades
hearts in spades laid

tessellate tightrope
clawing down-wind
downe betraying

light with shade splayed

Defenses

She'll never say it
This, nor the other:

She will never
ever
love again

The fence her fortress
forewarning 'bidding
'boding

The fence her offense
insipid speech of silence

tepid

The fence is fencing

The fence her armour
sword word arrow
passive aggressive
disconnected
sultry desultory dagger

But when she lowers her glasses
in such the way smiling

i steal a glimpse
there is no defense

Writing Day

She far watching me as I write
tapping these lines
ignoring side glances

It's now close to seven at night
and we have yet
to start breakfast cooking

My blinders are on kettle cold
only tepid thing

about us being

her first poet I am told
second artist
reassuring novice

But she likes to watch me working
comfort claiming
my mistress accepting

Today for grace a day writing
pulse permissive
as her shoulder tapping's

Still This

Still this
quiet sense of resignation

...remains...

raw gnaw
unnerving

I wrestle with sensibility

provokes propels
it plagues me

The Kiss

Should i kiss you
as marble antiquity

Or sharply
- this less peck
tempting trochee aesthetic

That I
We
should might make

distinctions
between kinetic

Idiosyncratic
aberration's
tick-tock rude clock timing

Alienations'
indecision
incision

As yet our kiss
far more than lesser this

Our Kiss
Lends Lips

Our Kiss
Lends Lips for Lisp

Like poets' lunging
lavish ravish
unctuous rambunctious rhyming

Our Kiss
Quills' Quivering Quips

A Poet Should Be

A poet should be romantic as spring
chocolate and cherry
mellifluous honey
drinking day-lit blossoming

Yet a poet should be
suspicious jaded wary
deepest indigo sour wine poison
ice blister winter night scathing

A poet should be loving
beyond bewildering
passionate so jealously

A poet should be spiteful
boisterous unbecoming
belligerent as unseemly

A poet should ever enjoin
engage the reader
emphatic empathic
paving pathos
ever so eternal
most intimate
enduringly

Appetites

And we so fever famished
baited breath
salivating

infectious inflectious delicacies

intonation modulation
appetites invoking

she is his for filling
swilling
fine drink
sumptuous ravishing

She drips olives calamari
Barolo wine
Stilton

Our parched palates
tongue
stoke smoked salmon spawning

loins rare sirloin
tartar oyster tang

we anticipate
such orgy
magnificent gorge
delirious feasting
our communion consuming

The French Teacher

I am taken with her skill of language
well versed in verse root romantics
as well, wooing and cooing
with captivating kinesthetics

intuitively she knows how to move
keep her poet jaw dropped and gushing
spilling fount flow for fumbling and wondering
that he might please her with writing
that he might please her with writing

writing, writing for offering...

form voluptuous statuesque classic
Romanesque animate becoming
hair hallowed aureate dawning and drawing
generous goddess lips eyebrows blowing

crystalline kisses through azure spectacles
spectacular splendid spectacles
inspirate azure and emerald speckled
aquamarine splendour shining

spectacles windows bowing....

But she is no mere anachronism,
mine ageless angelic antiquity
rather, an archetype for study sustaining
filling parched poets and artists hungry

unto the ages exhausting eternity

her accent accentuates geometry
I am aching articulation arching
fantastic fresco, mosaic musing
influx imagery inundating overwhelming

core etymologic elocution erotic
syntactic sublime as enamouring
and she is laconic, tutoring beauty
the virtues of verity; beloved brevity

I am putty in her hands, clay for sculpting,
molding metal for cursive casting
As for her, mine words are so such;

We are crafting each other in many languages

For Karen M
merci beaucoup: -)

Escape Key

candy apple of my eye she
drops her veils
eye of reciprocity
am so moved accordingly

mouth fingers member avails

webcam tango tangle we
privately revel in marvels
manually testing technology

it is our time for privacy
in lieu of tangible intimacy
overcuming geography

circumventing
we make our lives just
a little bit better for the bruising

relieved I
kiss her goodnight
and clean the escape key

Immortalize

So how shall we immortalize?
I ask her with this face
School-boy gleam giddy

Talent, potential
augmented with
her very own, “perhaps”
dangles for follow

Text
draw or paint for sculpting?
intimate as evasive I
literate searching

tug tension tearing
tension indecisive
lends word for earing:
She the Master ever in training

(dare I steal her word for ask?)

“Let us keep this moment for last,
suspending perhaps... “

Ode To The Unfinished Poem

Some say that it’s no use,
crying over spilt ink

The piece is done
-now leave it in the moment

Take the time to feel the flowers;
absorb inhale aroma

a 'literreal ambrosia


But:

by the blue-blooded balls of Byron and
Billy Butler Ba-Buckin-eh Yeats

I so swear:

From the lips of every aching letter
there lies in limbo craving cradle
sobbing sum of crying character
something far the much more greater:

“I know that it’s good but,
we can do so far the better”

Bound

THE DELICIOUSLY NAUGHTY FAERY TALE OV ALCHEMIC LASCIVITY

CHAPTER III: THE BLACK WORK

(excerpt)


BOUND

Stalemate
Many moves ago
Grand Master's magical deadlock

We invoked each other
We provoked each other
She revoked me for another

But I gave her my word
Pledged for life

She cannot forgive me
I can her
We cannot forgive ourselves

My word is my bond
There is no release

Time runs short
I am in a bind
