Here I will be posting various poems and drafts for comment and appraisal. some are simple and some have graphic and disturbing subjects I will make efforts to warn and obscure the more triggering posts.
this will be a single thread for all future posts by myself. some poems from older posts will be re-posted here as a matter of convenience.
Night ( a personal experience )
Night is solitary and death, it lurks around me like a cloak
Shrouded in the buttress like drawing's folded in bind.
A Smokey glow imparts from the trails of invisible pixies
Weaving the heavy air warm and belonging, safe.
Ether, shrouded in parchment clasped in my hand, cold and sterile
Brew, bound, held form carried unto offered for and about.
Resting on the board it lies lending breath and soul
The home meters welcome, life in free music, and bare
Barriers torn a sunder, laid down from the mind with glass
bonds made steel, not cold but cloth, warming tongue and eye.
evening is night as wax pooled flat and plate laid bare
The moon looks on and enjoys the play set forth before it.
Song of soul, sound and sight all dance in the nights warm grasp.
Tastes of tongue, talk and time rain in and dress the evening.
Food of feast and drink of joy, join and feed the meal of life.
Senses flood and flavour the dish served up of that eve.
Time and tie forgotten, free to be of the night and times.
She draws and holds my company, flame drawn to the moth.
Tongues tied by food and taste, sharing word and touch.
Held as if to stay the moment, skin licks skin as arms entwine.
My hand holds her heart as her heart holds my arm.
Weighted in my palm the flesh warms my soul and side.
Time hath ticked and robbed us of our blinded eyes.
Part we must but warm the thought and dawn what might of been.
