(i)
An aircraft has gone
into a feline's roar,
panthers and leopards
howling and growling
under a thunder
slashed by a lightning
with a civet-eyed torch
pointing to a slug's home
flung over
down in the bushes.
A starling has flown
a blue sky
to land on a sheet's strip,
the jet's tailplane of a thought
rumbling without
its cockpit in the pieces
of a wind on fast wheels.
Love is a cannibal
with supersonic legs
racing into a pit
in a broken roaring chest
spinning songbirds
in a whispering, warbling tree
growing branches
rolled off by the arms
of a gale woven
with threads of breeze.
(ii)
Speed carries brakes
to crawl mantis-light wheels
with the speedy
slow steps of the slug
cutting off
a hiss's gusty cruise,
when a flying leaf
wraps up the slug
with a smiling ropy hands
drifting to the blue starling
carrying a sky's sheet
of love to fly along
a crooning river, the pace
of a hiss finding its kiss
in the mouth of an eagle,
as the slug clothed
in the storm on a grinning
woman's clasped hands.
(iii)
In a shade of night
under clumps of warm leaves,
the slug crawls quietly
on a starling's song of sky,
a fast hiss swallowing itself
in a fleeing eagle's mouth,
as the big bird flaps flamy wings
down a valley.
A man's slug
bathes in the hot wind
of a cruising lover,
when life crawls
on a slug's wheels, glowing eyes
telling the partner:
(iv)
This breeze of a ship
will ride us
through bumps of waves
steered by a starling's wings
carrying a sky of love,
the cannibalistic stokes
and brushes
of a hissing snake
wriggling under a hawk's
eyes sipping the fast love
that devours itself,
as it leaves the slug
to fly with a starling's
whispered song
between clasped hands
in love's sky,
where a slug on a ropy hand
climbs the tall mountain of a fondle.
A refined poetic imagination, Felix B. You may like to read my poem, Love And Iust. Thank you.

Beautiful stuff. The imagery the metaphors. I wish i could write like this. I liked the love being a cannibal beat. Exquisite idea.
