Open truth tickled with flutter-tongue dance

Of fire on water, water on skin,

Ice melting on tiny pink mountaintops,

Salty raindrops and machinegun breaths

Of cool cleansing wind,

Again and again,

Five snakes slither Paradise fallen;

An angel squirms the epithelial guff.

Passionate oceans chop rougher and deeper

As the white sands shift beneath weight of pitch sin,

Again and again.

 

Again and again, fluid movement molds

Stone souls into curvaceous siren-queens.

Hot love songs crawl to mind through flytrap ears

And celestial lights flick, blend and bend;

Spinning planets collide like raw red lips

Coated with laughter, disaster and gin.

Again and again,

Until visions explode into sun-shards and ice-beams

Who scream through thinnest walls,

Feel the tides rise and fall

Where torn gulls go to mend,

Or be devoured where they’re pinned

 In a dank lions’ den.

Again and again,

Breath the mundane pain out,

As eternity soaks in

Through stormy night eyes

And milky smooth thighs;

Parted and singed,

Tease-purge to pleased binge.

Life begins as it ends.

Again and again.

I watch Heaven spin ‘round your face,

In this sacred damned place,

Again and again

And again.

[Kerry O'Connor]

You have such a unique vision of existence and man's part in it - and it never ceases to amaze me how you are able to give expression to it over and over again, in ever new, and always original ways.

I love the way the maelstrom of thought all crystallizes at the end:
As eternity soaks in
Through stormy night eyes
And milky smooth thighs;
Parted and singed,
Tease-purge to pleased binge.
Life begins as it ends.
Again and again.
I watch Heaven spin ‘round your face,
In this sacred damned place,
Again and again
And again....

...We cannot avoid the repetition.

them songs , them dances

I love the first lines of the second stanza. I see a positive message in this piece, love and beauty and all the crap that makes people gushy. Nice work.

The creation, then the end...life spins out of control, but we
somehow go on living. The truth is out there....
