  • Nudity Moon

    Gingerly, he steps
    naked as a child
    onto the cooling sand

    nervous,
    afraid to be seen
    yet wanting to be confident

    she holds his hand
    and gides him to the white surf
    glowing under moonlight

    beneath that moon
    he feels ashamed
    his own naked self decided ugliness
    on show for all to see
    though none are there, but she who he loves.

    beneath the moons beauty
    he is shy.
    to dare to face the glory of that light
    with his pale skin
    now paler still under her glare

    fireflys dance around their bodies
    she smiles and reassures.
    wiggling toes in the wet sand
    he is less tense

    the moon tucks in behind a cloud
    as if to give the lovers privacy.
    the oceans song
    a bedtime lullaby to woo him.

    his skin is chilled by more than water
    but his cheeks are still flushed.

    until she held him
    naked in that ocean
    he had thought he could never love again.

  • the words are there
    but them i cannot grasp

    to speak the truth
    to your heart to clasp.

    i hear great words
    impending speeches
    but these voiceless poems
    are shy, fickle creatures

    they wont come when i call
    or put pen to paper
    they run and disipate
    like some dumb, mute vapour.

    Snatches of things i wish i could say
    but forgotten by time.

    the mundane tasks of the day to day
    destroy what im thinking , my shoppping list ryhme.

    Dying

    As she hid her head beneath her soiled wings
    she wept.

    A lone renting note that echoed across the frosted valley,
    through the gate and along the river.

    The first snow flake of the year landed gently on her soft back,
    and a tear dropped to the hard ground upon which she huddled.

    The sun tried in vain to warm her poor soul but her heart grew as cold as the icy river.

    From the mists at the edge of the fence stepped a fox.
    Walking hunger, he yearned for the swan he had tracked for two days.

    Steam rose from his dank fur, as he leaned over the broken bird.
    The swan did not move
    She waited for him to take her
    To ease her pain
    yet he could not kill.

    His heart felt such pity for the swan.
    She was love

    He could not destroy.

    The red death turned and crept away into the fog as silently as it had come.

    The swan wept once more
    her lamentation on the lips of every beast.

    Her love was gone
    her circle was broken.

    No blood was spilt
    yet the swan felt empty

    a husk.

    Silently, and with on eye on the sunset
    she lay her head upon the nest
    and died.

    Such a sad and pretty picture you paint! Beautiful! :) And the re-vamped version is even more precious!

  • Im leaving the fridge door
    open
    to light me to your room,
    for its all that i can do,

    for it talks to me in tongues.
    says "young boy, to see me you must be free.
    Can you even find your elbow from your knees?"

    Miss Dutchess she warns
    me not to eat the food
    from your table

    but Ill sit down to feast
    and watch the jester
    perform soap operas starring
    Cain and Abel

    then the bouncers of truth
    said " Man, its time to leave.
    Your invitation is expired

    as my my head hit the dirt
    how i wished for the sense to retire

    my beds like the ocean
    its got some rough seas ahead
    the pillows a ship
    and the crews been long dead

    with the captain that lost his compass
    he just searches his maps
    with a pencil he calls trust.

    and the fridge light burns on
    giding me to your oom
    and if that bulb goes out
    it ll always be too soon.

  • It's always good to have even just a little light to guide you on your way! :) May it never grow dim!

    AND, it's always good to see the sultry one! :D

  • greetings friends and peapods-
    apologies for the long abscence(sp)!
    i got lost somewhere south of confusion avenue, managed to stick this message in a bottle.
    hope all are well in this place!
    hope you like this.

    X


    Time and time
    and time again
    he had too much time to burn.

    A curtain closed
    on a dawn not needed
    white four walls
    all that he pleaded

    Picture frames emptied
    lighter fuel a neccesity
    A past once burned
    the photos slipped like cards
    dealt too fast from a card sharp he'd always admired.

    So he turns away
    from that once loved.

    Walks into the green,
    red hair flapping
    wind in his eyes
    daffodils greeting

    Too many dawns to appreciate
    but oh, the earth in him
    stretched his hands
    to beg for growth.

    Composted his heart
    to give hope to life
    why?
    WHY?
    in the name of hope
    hope...


    hope...?

    hope?

    hope for colour
    hope for love
    hope for life
    just hope.

    sultzer

    since I do not have your email.. I will post this for you here... it was originally for all the hutsters (and CranMal will get his as well...) but it is well that it should be on your thread also, as you have inspired me upon many an occasion.

    so thank you. and here you go.



    -For the Proetic Gone to Peace-

    I will be the first on the doorstep with a stick of wheatgrass in my mouth, the mountain dew on one hand and my laptop in the other.
    I will have flowers for her and the rest of you in my car now covered in road wear and dragonflies. Their wings may even glisten.
    I will bring my words and my wariness and my philosophy and my love and my beckoning dreaming; of the shaman kind.
    Aloft, we shall sally forward sucking chloroform and mineral water to cure our insomnia and other social ills, these things that cause our lack of dream and flexibility.
    Sighing, gasping cloth and it would seem that our lives go quietly in between as, during our first few tentative days, we eye each other at close distances wondering at these corporeal ghosts that have touched us before we had the chance to count fingers and who now appear to sudden tangibility, living and breathing as colorful as we had once foreseen.
    If a parasite does its deeds out of compassion and for love and because of the things they'd seen, well, let it be called poetry then. Let it be called precognition, the foretold, the a priori of infinitum concluded... the means that brings upon us the end, here at the beginning of all things.

    The house windows will fly open as released doves.
    Witness the glass as it vibrates under the force of freedom, the air that home may breathe after so long in asphyxiation.
    To whomever may take the basement and to whomsoever may discover the attic: it matters not to me for I claim the roof as mine. Consider it my helipad from which I intend to soar at a moments notice, though my hovering skills are still very much under instruction. You may visit upon your leisure, upon your pleasure, within your measured mind.
    I have noticed that the grass grows shorter as it approaches the road and wonder upon its care as I sip my spice tea.
    Every sunset is surprising anymore as time appears to increase its pace day after day: I believe that by the time I pass the earth will then rotate about the sun at an hourly rate.

    Over dinner, wine, and a grasp of the minds we may all finally meet, this odd matrix of mixed psyche. And it shall come to pass that all that has been laid on this table board shall become rasa, in fact as clear and cold as ice, as pure as a single sheet of mica. There will be those who mutter their adorations and adulations under their breath while others will stand atop the chair waving merlot, painting the rest of us with their carelessly given heart's mix. The stains are not permanent but they carry heat, scent and sadness... I will not forget them. There may be calls for speeches as many times as there will be calls for silence upon silence to listen to the wisest of the crickets under the stove. Their orchestrations will perhaps serenade our toast and our solitude in togetherness and our quest for the true poet's commune. Perhaps we will learn.

    Capote, Kerouac, Lorca, Kinsbury, Plath, Frost, Angelou, Longfellow, the rest of you... with respect: we have arrived. And we appreciate you having set this table before us, for having built this house within which we have the temerity to live, for having planted the seeds that have allowed us to become the shimmering and fragile willows that we are. May we deepen the canyons you have worn into this green earth, the sediments and layers of your epic floods apparent and readable, tactile and osmotic hieroglyphics. May we begin new trails and trials for others to follow long after we have departed, making sure that the silver was properly polished and that the cobwebs of an age have been swept away.

    As we ready for departure after this eternal weekend, the blade shall be brought forth and we must all decide the parts of us that must needs be cut away to store in this forever house, the ones that will bring us back, the ones that will keep us kin with ourselves, each other, the ancestral starlight and the future intrinsic. It will be bloodless but not without pain for it is with humility that all things must be left behind. It is with openness and the bared chest that sacred and holy things must be shared. It is with supplication and thanks that all must bow heads and receive each gift as if it were the last we were to ever receive, or the first of all wonders we have perceived. Without such ritual, without such honor, our brand of proetic love would never exist. All poets bleed, it has been said before, and indeed it is up to the rest of us, the participants and the watchers of such internal/external revelations, yes we must have our chalice at the ready to catch what we may from the air before the earth has sucked its last from the lot.

    I shall drink this wine of life, the cup salute of forehead, lips, chest, and the ever closing of eyes savoring all of you upon my tongue, running my mouth and my mind. My tears will mingle with the salt and sweet of it. Tipping back, my mind will escape the hatch and seek others with which to become one, at last finding its lost abilities, May having finally arrived.

    Our circle of footsteps will become indelible.
    Our ink will smear many pages before our books are closed, one by one, and dusted to shelf in the libraries of mankind.
    Who will be the last? Who will be our final guardian?
    And will the heavens remember us as who we were, these physical creatures... or will they remember us as the living ethereal, pasting our true selves to a piece of pulped and mercuric wood to be glued, pressed and thrown upon the wind from the highest of heights?

    The last that may be seen of us will be the grass arising from our language and our words as the page upon which we have continued to breathe breaks down and mingles once again with the earth wherein we birthed and where, whether in flame or in lane, we have retired so many centuries past.

    it is through this, and through each other... we shall live unto the end of the earth. Here, at the beginning of all things, and at the end of all our hands.

    may the ink never run dry.

    love,

    seta

  • down it came
    and washed away the home
    charged over the infant and swept him under
    silt and mud choked
    fast they ran
    slow they swam
    but still it swelled
    rising up
    pushing through letter boxes
    and cold window frames
    the walls falling
    a sodden Jericho
    moss mixed with blood
    the bloated forms floated past the graveyard
    never to rest there,
    and all this when the mountains cried.

    call me childish
    call me king rat

    call me numb
    call me dumbstruck

    call me anything but my name

    keep me down
    at your feet

    feet first through the wardrobe
    uncharted terriorty
    head first through the window

    call me morbid
    call me absurb

    call me Me.
