okay Ive probably done it again, a poem beyond human comprehension. Ive used alot of intense images as a journey of love, the conflicts of passion, masculinity versus femininity, the trappings and freedom evoked by loving somebody. Chopped up prose yet again (forgive me to all the masters of technique out there!) I promise to write something more structured soon. :) Between the blue sky and the nettle roots there is the sea. Rainbow fish dive free and careless into warm waters of lush certainty. Loved by a warm blue embrace they brush my boots with rivulets Of all that moves forever in me. On the seabed I forage for a totem A blessing of hidden immoral scents There are floral mouths that need feeding below Silken twilight hues, spoilt by the glaring heat Of eyes that never sleep with my fingers I tear away at the blanket of weeds Am I over or under? Am I fishing or am I drowning? The ground above is soft with honey suckle Water lilies drained of moonlight and want, Honey bees hover over the thirst of its petals Lying face down amongst nettle roots Incognito; a fallen truth ripe and cursed Against dead drifting orange leaves. Nourishing and plentiful with heavens call Yet dead from misfortunes disease The call of daylights sermon Repression and anonymity Boats on the shore usher me in So, I swim freely for the kiss of life iridescent body, eyes pearly black As soon as you stop moving, Accustom you to a different type of living I will gauge out the eyes of your fortune So that I can roam free into the future behind them Instead I leave you blind with ardent resolution Oblivious to the tribe calls that crowd round me When will you stop forgiving me for that? Try and see what goes on here, For there are men that sniff at my strangeness They aim to clamour for a dream, And make their way through the layers Intrude, control, flatter, force Sever the branches and argue against my reasons to grow Abusing the sacred trajectory of my heart A force which they cannot control. And like a vagabond adorned in fury, A stray brigand snatching the blood money, You transgressed through me (to claim a kingdom up ahead) Broke the rules which protect me (Forcing a transparency to envelop) Casting glass over my demeanour A solstice martyr warms my heart (to light his prayers) Leaving me numb with sensations, (to use me as bait) for a moon soaked with philtre and water You An ecstatic tyrant thundering blindly through me Eyes filled with the pure white of nothing to give Only the bones that I stand with, are of use to you And yet You cause a riot amongst the nettles and the blue skies Floral kingdoms fulfilled by an allegiance to life Filling my heart with incendiary thoughts you stirred me with moments of servitude Beautiful instances like these, They haunt me with fingers with fins with eyes with looks with the weakness of hate I have for your hooks How did you see me so well out there?. I am not within reach of your arms Yet you sit and you wait and you wonder (the one small weakness that you have for me) Breathing in the stench of thoughts forgotten Whilst knighting the seas at dawn I command the same darkness to wrap round me Shut my eyes and blot out the glare of day. Watch you swim with the fishes at night Suck the honey out of life.
