Joseph Narusiewicz Poems

Pause, consent, the arrival of mystery
Waves of pleasure hide claws of apathy
In love with images of a fallen kingdom
I shall struggle with lions
...

Cleansed like a living urn
I've been filled with pain
Sorrow can be a sea of hostility
I am released with strange tears
...

Chartreuse lips like a robin's flight
You whisper a desperate kiss
Sunlight shines on the table
Dappled velvet moon of life
...

Is freedom a sword of Eden?
Royal pensive angels
When lilacs grow the stars sail
Wounds as deep as love
...

Tango with a cocaine wife
She loves deals
You pay my way like a prostitute
Sex in the capitalist hole
...

Jasper eyes deep as light
No poet owns freedom
Enter the white feather
Let the world slide off your back
...

Canticles of color in the obtuse vision
Refracted light condensed like chivalry
The rain is bent into right angles
Blue bliss seizes the storm
...

Gray shadows leave like morning ghosts
Visions of green gossamer hope
Minds with peonies and scarlet windows
Love is new peace underneath time
...

Winter blankets like stubborn witches
She is the purple carpets of imps
Palace like a seminary of democracy
German Castle where Luther seen the devil
...

War in the floorboards of modern culture
Neutrality a dancing clown
Protect yourself in blue green walls
Sartre
...
