I cannibalize him
Each and every portion,
Even those gross nights
Without him,
Specifically chewing heavy
On the moldered meat,
Of each gross night
Without him,
And I roll over myself
With a phlegmy brain,
And unsafe thoughts of him
That again, once again
I’ll find myself in a tangle
Peeled down to my ankles
Bawling in some sunset,
That I trusted would never
Look, or feel as fine
As before.
But I eat him up anyway
Like some sugared whore
On the verge of bumping
Old habits or hobbies,
Those damned achy pastimes…

Come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!! I miss these pieces of genius...much like I miss you to pieces.
(will stay like this until you return)

lustfully cruel . . . nice writing.

ACHY
good stuff Ashes... hope you are alive and well and THRIVING... on the verge of those damn achy pastimes...
still lovin you.... rut -
Wow. What a contradiction. The soft, airy title contrasting the meaty, moist, pungent body of this piece. It's more raw emotion than love poem, yet all the more appealing for that.

"I'll find myself in a tangle, peeled down to my ankles."
Sounds like fun to me. I wish you'd come back at least as often as I do. That's not asking much. -
oh yeaaaaah, i forgot about you, you were on my favourites because of a crazy poem you wrote; i remember it now. ANYWAY, i really liked this, there is an honest and very passionate quality to this, but not silly-passionate, more forceful, like you've really reduced it. i'm not trying to flatter you, i just like it - and hopefully this comment of mine will mean more than the little applauses i'm not going to give you. they would demean it. although, maybe i'm just being gay because it's windy outside and i've drunk a lot of wine today. you're a lot like that nyx iscariot lass.

wow, i was entranced, such oral fixations and spite, and passions all roled up into an appetizing though heart burny herrito for me to devour,
you definetely need a better selection of healthy flesh to nibble on, there is so much that is fresh and joyous to the taste out there, and they usually make a delectable, blissful meal of you as well. lol....Loved it...

excellent!
well...damn
i loved it, it was awesome!
i'll have to read it when sober though
it'll probably make better sense to me emotionally
i can tell you right now though that i loved the flow
loved how the thoughts seem soo....
random maybe?
no...they matched the way my mind works
thoughts written as they come, i love it,
blah, read when sober, lol -
dang...im not sure what to say.
sounds like you have a special love -
come out, come out, wherever you are! you never call, you never write, i feel like a dutch mother. don't be such a stranger or i'll hunt you down.
-
Hell, cannibalize me..I'll bring the Mrs. Dash! You can swirl emotions and spit them into a tsunami of radical thought! git yo RAWK on...
So what do ya do for an encore... -
I was just sitting here on the phone talking to onerios about all our favorite poets on this site (because we have nothing better to do than talk about AP lol), and your name came up and I realized I hadn't read any of your work in a while, so stopped by, and to my immense pleasure, here you are with something posted just this month! I was floored, not only by the fact you posted, but by such a fantastic poem, which shows you definitely haven't lost your touch. I really hope you're around more often now, as I've missed reading your brilliance. You definitely inspired me to improve as a poet, so this was a personal joy. Welcome back.

"once again
I’ll find myself in a tangle
Peeled down to my ankles"
Oh, wow. I don't like copy and pasting parts of poems, but that was just too cool.
It has been a long time. I can't remember the last time I actually read something of yours. But I kept you on my favorites hoping you'd come back.
I love the images here. They're gross, but that's the way I like them. <3 -
At last Miss Bright. Waited too long for something new. So good to be reading you again after your extended break. Loads of love and lust and sex and nostalgia and confusion and anguish...
...hope more follow.

it seems like dreams and reality are really bumping hard
into each other here
somehow i feel the words of proclamation
insinuating themselves into a life as i read these lines
just my ankle hopping dance
not to be confused with critique -
It's been awhile? Sure felt like a century. This is excellent, especially the repetition of the third and fourth verses as well as the ending. Quite the love poem. This is just gorgeous.
-
it's been a long while, almost a year. it's nice to see you're back, and hopefully to write and post more.
anyways... just as unusual as ever with the context of your poem, i love it.
okay, take care.
