As I watch your figure
rolling those designer hips
mythical eyes
abstractly bouncing breasts,
giggling insanity pouring from a mind
evading the earth
dancing the dust
devouring the day
offering me
nipple's nectar and nopher's resplendence,
I punch holes through walls
and rip away hinges
and steal reflections off lake's disquiet mirror
impatient in my delirium
to make room for your rollicking gait and invading desire
and paint flittering frames to your seditious canvas
coloring it lust's blindness
and crave's bitterness.
You stomp the trees
and mill the mountains
the detritus between your teeth sounding like hail beaten tin
as you approach me
and rivers of grit escape the corners of your mouth
building deserts in your wake
and wings to falling condors
and rolling pearls choking the seas,
Until we meet on the virginal white
of madness
letting stars die between our ribs
and anthracite crush into diamond into dust
as our fingers claw their path in ecstasy
heralding
the ominous advent
of linen’s Armageddon.

It would seem to me that your quill knows no better way to write than that with divine enticement. True talent lies within your pen and leaves me envious. Thank you for entering. Best of luck to you!

As a desert visualising that rare deluge, your colours draw upon unknown spectrums of longing...
either that, or your pony-tail is too tight..
Were there to be a blind taste-test, my friend.. there would be no secret as to who created this.

From (A)s to Armageddo(n)...can't think of a better way to end this world with or to die - such sweet-sweet death! Loved the "virginal white of madness" - someone once said that if "love isn't madness it isn't love at all". Wonderful passionate poetry, Joe.

This is amazing. I know what you are saying here, but I cannot get it into words. You played around with meanings, these could have 2 meanings. Damn it what's it called. >_< Ano-summit.. I'll get back to you on that one.
Anyway I loved it from beginning to finish. You have a good extensive vocabulary and good imagination. It's very descriptive and powerful.
I need to get my dictionary out for this
Good work -
