Hot Rod

 

fast and furious

archangel in paint and chrome

brings me home-

purring megaphonious,

combusting with sav and sap

that i glimpse

peeking into warm grill chintz-

then she lifts her corset bonnet

and lets me touch her glinting bones

secreting home spun

pheromones

attracting, like moon and sun-

mysterious

and mnemonic

old senses,

fallow and fenced

soon become drenched

quiller and squirter

in that linguistic converter-

glow mapping,

overlapping,

slowly blown

in the metronome.

 

That Silence Whose Colours I Know

 

the longer you play

the better you sleep,

so take it away

and beat-

the skin of your drum

with finger and thumb

the horn of your bone

on heat-

until you cum home

alone.

its saner than crazy

but lonely and lazy,

that silence whose colours i know-

without sweet talking

and hands held walking

in rhythms so fast and slow-

and the aftermath,

lying there

on that drenched path

you want to share-

turns over, tiredly

and clicks off the lamp

where you admired me

long, spent, damp.

 

The Bluebell Wood

 

the bluebell wood is coming through,

but i'm not the one you're going to-

oh no,

my symphony is slow.

loves notes need oxygen for breath

and mine are clotted, clemmed to death-

revoked

hopes

choked

in mangled, mettled mess.

the bluebell wood is waiting

for lovers in their deeper dating,

swaying and intoxicating

natural undress-

while I sit at home and rest

in the belly of old books

with time ticking out of fading looks,

wondering where its gone

since two talked past one.

now conversations come like noodles,

light and spiced that leave me hungry

for their quick drawn doodles

absorbed while spongey,

to cohabit and collaborate-

still separate where they wait.

 

Fractals Of Clarity

 

how can i forget

the way she sucks me

while she smokes my cigarette-

tongue strokes

tip pokes

softly round the rim

then deeper in.

 

the sensual symmetry

of close caressing

fondle messing

with her hair

and gentle bobbing of head

up-down-there,

 

so much love

i hold, in my hands

between my legs,

sliding out and in

rubbing circles round

the sea sound

collar of her quim.

 

we make self similarity

in fractals of clarity

lying back,

looking into each other

picking out stars in sky black

drapes that cover

 

what this does

to us.

 

Our Talk

 

the soft wind, stroking your smiling face,

fingers your fine combed hair, in out of place-

and i know

when you go

nothing can make this mood,

or give its famine food.

 

our talk, branching through woods and sky

like young leaves, suddenly knowing why-

they need the sun again

to be, and to remain-

more than a copied canopy

to reach the plain out to me.

 

i lounge, in your living words libation,

with uncommon nouns, uncovered in creation,

and wait for wantings i can be-

where complex minds dwell in that simplicity,

where feelings go to touch

and come to mean so much.
