mesonoxian

mesonoxian

 

war-painted ballerina

howls a broken necked valentine

sexy as a worn pickaxe

sunken into unscathed flesh

 

giggle me a moonbeam

stagger on my greased ledge

we’ll ripple time

from ripe to rotten

melt into god shades

 

scream winter in your summer voice

suntanned hypothermia

we’ll die like throat-slit laughter

when the deep pain catches up  

 

vulgarize my sweet embrace

pornography in gospel terms

guillotined roses, angel horns

snow-globes bounced to shards

 

email my punk rock requiem

to the dead folks draped on fluffy beds

sing them to their calloused knees

and dance them back to love

 

if this stone caress

is misunderstood

explain why puppy dogs have teeth

 

cut the meat of shaky souls

revive these broken masses

Author's Note

sometimes pretty fancies pain,
sometimes sexy leaves a mark,
sometimes crazy kisses sane,
we reach for nothing in the dark

Brilliant, brilliant brilliant Mister. All saved in one poem, clever word use, and metaphors. I felt hypnotized to my screen! that's what I love to read, pieces wich are never to forget! Indeed, we reach for nothing in the dark, but we love to search... lovely write. A fav!

I hadda look up the word mesonoxian.... midnight.... Ha, obsolete word... not if ya use it.

a fine example of dualism, juxtaposition, mind jarring.

My favorite stanza's here are first and fifth. Not keen on the last two lines. (the critique part)

How is the visionary understood? I don't think a visionary's success is in his message so much as in his courage to see the message and deliver it....

The coolest thing about reading your pieces, is that the reader must be prepared to walk with you, open their eyes and be filled, fill and re-fill their cognitive cups.

I gotta say this is some mighty fine aged wine, great nose and legs.... I'll take another glass.

Stellar, powerful, 10000 pounds of awesome.
