Why would you be
all I am
if not carved from
temptations shaking hands.
Who moulded all thoughts,
so like mine,
dragging me from self misery
into desire.
Lust gently cradles reason,
then snaps it's neck,
and in those stormy heartbeats
sheds no tears.
Pinned upon these pages
lay butterflies
of once glorious dreams
left to die.
You are my pyre of music
I burn to devour,
sweet, sacred words drip from lips
that are my bower.
I know what vision you hunger,
it also belongs to me,
I reach for your constellation
and just breathe.

sad but beautifully written plead of a breatheless heart...the stanza commencing 'pinned upon...' is exceptionally touching...glorious 10/10
Feels like you've been down to that beach watching the breakers, drowning in the ozone and breeze, the poem was so fresh. Particularly loved the lines: Lust gently cradles reason, then snaps it's neck We have a lady across the road that keeps rabbits and chickens for the pot and she says she always cradles and comforts the animal before... It is an interesting parallel to draw, such is the overwhelming power of passion. You write with an economy yet have the knack of being able to paint very big canvases: some skill! Thanks for another well crafted piece of your life and insight. Tony
Your imagery is great; thought provoking with each phrase warm and sensual flows nicely wiith your passionate pen! A definite TEN! .
