monochrome acid drop:

inky linguini freefall through a calligraphic blasphemy

 

carnal abstractions: black tongues bloomed from

milky thigh stalks with ram-horned cherubs locked

in sensual slow-motion combat

just

overhead

underfoot

beyond my senses

royal purple bruises raised from golden god-flesh

as pigs writhe and moan on holy ground

where undiscovered scripture is written

in the barren soil of desert minds

by the belly of an earthworm philosopher

imbued with spiritual gifts and half-done meta-puzzles

 

warm wet slash of a silver pen knife across

the sunset ceiling of a gaudy white envelop heaven

 

I mailed you my soul marked with perfume kisses

 

you coldly dissected the poor creature

and splashed it’s hot innards onto the gargantuan bones

of our extinct affection

 

you call it conceptual art

 

I call you a calcified charlatan

Sublimely surreal...I shall not try to dissect this gem or split it into smaller, less valuable stones. It has all the fire of a sapphire and all the wealth of an emerald. We'll not be casting any pearls to the writhing pigs on holy ground...they are most likely overcome by Legion and will shortly be plummeting from some high cliff into the sea. It is a shame we can't see the art that inspired this kaleidoscope of abstract imagery though. Thoroughly enjoyed the read.

I've missed reading your work! Great poem as always :) Each line gave me the shivers.

Wow...speechless. Y've knocked me over.

This bullet hit me right between the eyes.
The imagery is pure Hieronymous Bosch... and then RG Johnson takes over...

I mailed you my soul...you coldly dissected the poor creature...you call it conceptual art...

I felt that all the way to my bone marrow.

You have some of the best opening lines on here! and so unsurprisingly they are my favourite lines!!

"monochrome acid drop:

what a brilliant description, a phonetic treat!! as is the rest of the poem, unlike them charlatans I would call this art!!
