reunion in another sphereA thirst, sated. Lovers, fated by memory, a sacred song  chanted, not recanted in hearts earnest and pure, where prayers belong  and we are left bereft of joy to suffer for the moment's kiss.   
An impure surety eclipses doubts, shouted in ancient bliss.  A prodigal heart, parted like a prophet's path, dreams reminisce.  A thirst, sated. Lovers, fated by memory, a sacred song.   
Ritualistic mysticism heals the schism of pain long  forgotten and forgiven in thoughts driven stark and strong,  and we are left bereft of joy to suffer for the moment's kiss.   
Robes of a priest, released reunion in another sphere

Commandment 6:It's what I do,  he said,  I pull the trigger  now they're dead.  I'm a bad man  doing what you expect of me.   
It's what we do,  we said,  we flip the switch  now he's dead.  we're society  caught up in our own hypocrisy.

Thunder of LustI want to be the consecration of all your hesitation.   
I'm not looking to seduce you  or in words to reproduce you  as a shadow of a light that burns so bright.  I'm not heading for a showdown  with my urges, dark and lowdown.  and won't walk away if you want to talk away the night.   
There is thunder to lay under  as the light of heaven leavens  all our baggage, for a moment, lost and tossed.  I'm not looking just to use you  or in words to ruse, confuse you,  but know you glow, immolation worth the cost.   
I want to be the consecration of all your hesitation Thunder of Lust

like a blossomlike a blossom in the summer's wind  I see you as something pure and passionate  warm and woven into the tapestry of senses,  forswearing the defenses of illusion.  I can see you, feel you, smell your essence  in the presence in the creation,  as a charity to me from a smiling God  who sees the beauty in what you are  
and were and will be, all as part of all.  you are beautiful and precious, every petal.  every tracery of colour and scent and touch.  like a blossom in the summer's wind.

loveaddict looms

Tue Nov 17, 2009, 11:12 AM
My new book, loveaddict, promised since September, is likely to hit the bookstores just before Christmas. I have to thank DA for all it has contributed to the book.

The cover is from a photograph by someone I met on here (I asked, she approved, don't worry, I am NOT that kind of person), [link]

Many of the poems in it were inspired by people I have met on DA...so much so that the volume is dedicated to someone I know from off of DA...

So, thanks to any and all who have made this one heck of a ride...

I'm a poet. Well-regarded, depending on which publisher, editor or cuckolded husband you ask. I don't write poetry. I don't do poetry. I coexist with it, some have even suggested I am poetry.

I can live with that. I have to.

I really admire your writing. It's bold and unforgiving. you say what you feel and i love reading through your work. My writing professors are constantly telling my classes that modern poetry is dead because commercialism kills the beauty of art and people don't do it for the same reasons anymore. i want to bring my laptop into class and have them read what you write. i was lossing hope in being a writer i mean so much of the buissness is about appealing to what others want, so few want to get lost in anothers mind. after reading your stuff though i find my spark renewed. and though our styles are differnt, i find inspiration and motivation in your writing. i hope someday that i can do the same to some other writer, that is -in my opinon- the greatest thing we as artist can achieve. not wealth or noteriety but the lighting of a fire the opening of anothers eyes. im sorry to go on and on and i apoligize for my horrid spelling but i wanted to let you know that you have made a differnce. thank you, for all you have done.

Thank you for the encouragement (realize that encouragement breaks down to "en couer rage"...or with fire in the heart). Poetry is the passionate craft and most people who teach it can't completely wrap their heads around the full scale of it. At its best it is a hardwire to the divine. At its worse it still presents the possibilities for releasing your own soul into the art, which is not so bad as a worst case scenario!.

Again, thank you.

I supose you are right, though i hate to submit i guess even if you do something for the wrong reasons you still do it. i supose that i need to become more open minded if i want to be a writer. i hope your inspiration block clears, i know how emotionally and mentally trying it is to feel that empty uninspired feeling. best wishes.

Readers walk to the edge of the cliffs, peer over and listen to the sound of the falling bodies of the writers, those who actually leap from the cliffs, screaming their verbal telemetry as they fall. Everyone has one good leap in them...writers keep healing up and jumping again. Some get addicted to the fall.

Yea, that's a great metaphor. I'm writing an entry for a scholorship/publishing contest and i feel as if i am stuck in a tree pointing from the side of the cliff. You really are quiet magical with words, i aspire to someday be as free flowing and brilliantly spoken as you are.
