Island Bonfire

My heart breaths musty

Trust me

Ask she

Surely,

the stench of my

Love will thrust thee

against me.

Vulturing through

mountains and valleys. . .

I'm starving,

but my problems desert me

when speaking through

Joshua trees.

Can you hear me?

If not,

please feel my

energy of thirst.

Enter the Garden of Hesperides

and find paradise in my mind.

Mind you

become mindful

of the moon's full.

And if so,

My love will be

4 you.

I like The imagery that the descriptive words brought to mind. It provoked an intense emotion as I was reading, almost confrontational, but not in a violent or angry way.
Not sure if that’s where you were when you wrote it but hey...either way, I liked it

[sinNsincerity]

I always come from my heart.

[Poetic License]

YES, YES, YES!

I cannot even begin to love this enough. Every, single, molecule.

Breathing these words feels like a sacred incantation. The intention is palpable.

Well done and powerfully charged.

[sinNsincerity]

Awe thank you. Sacred indeed, I allow my spirit roam free and the magic it retrieves is something else. I don't think most people understand my metaphors and they fly over the mind for the most part, so thank you once again.

Those of us who travel the gray line understand this best. Sending warm thoughts your way on this coming Samhain Eve.

very interesting revelations of the speaker .."...stench of my Love..." is the allure ... not to make light of the nymphs .. i use to trap all kinds of fur bearing animals (i know...some may not agree) and the scent glands and lures i used were just like that ... an alluring stench ... so here is a lover completely revealed in what he supposes is almost too terrible to reveal ..yet reveal it he does ... and for the very special one that sees through it ... ahhhhhhhhhh well love may be theirs ... ;) i like this poem a lot...i think it has a creative, strong voice ...

[sinNsincerity]

The words are the nymphs/aliens if you're vibing in the right frequency as I was when my spirit composed them. Did I trap you?

[Einstein Noodle]

i feel you man...so ...yes you did :) read it again ..very strong emotive poem my friend ...

[EcstaticEuphoria]

Very emotion, evoking. Liked how you used the choice arrangement of words to make your point. Great one, thanks for sharing!

[Destiny Izaguirre Corte..]

Captivating
Well written; I enjoy reading your work.
Thank you for sharing

[RutabagaMac]

Grammar aside, it's good. Sorry if I'm a stickler, but good job. I felt the tone as I read it.

[sinNsincerity]

What's wrong with the grammar? Do explain...

[Anna]

You would not use "4" in place of "for." But that is obvious and I'm sure you know that.

I just had to say something, it bothered me that there was no reply.

[Anna]

However, I very much enjoyed this poem.

[sinNsincerity]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Anna.

[Hebe]

Once you find peace it sets you free to love and life. Remarkable writing.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Hebe, but peace is settling, I 'm seeking truths.

By Eckhart Tolle
People don't realize that now is all there ever is. There is no past or future, exceot as memory or anticipation in your mind.
There lies the truth.

[Shobana Gomes]

How enchanting to seek paradise where the nymphs gather.

[sinNsincerity]

Right? Thank you for reading Shobana.

[wordman]

longing for peace,the mind is very mysterious ,it takes you where it wants to go

[sinNsincerity]

And I chose to go where it wants to take me.

[wordman]

really don`t have a choice if you want peace of mind

[sinNsincerity]

I can easily have peace if I didn't think. It's the truths I'm seeking.

[wordman]

what is truth,,this has been asked by man for thousands of years

[sinNsincerity]

The Egyptians knew. . .

[wordman]

well they didn`t share it with us , the essenes knew,the tao knew

[sinNsincerity]

They tried with the Emerald Tablets or the Library of Alexandria. And Judaism roots come from Egypt and the ancient Canaanite. Israel comes from the worship of Isis, Ra, and the Canaanite god El.

[wordman]

i have read a lot of that stuff,it is much older than jesus,many stories about a saviour like jesus many times,the flood story many times before noah,many stories about joseph ,and adam and eve,adam and lillith,,nany walls with writing long before jesus,,so again i ask what is the damn truth

[sinNsincerity]

As have I, and I agree with you. And that's why I keep on searching because we all have been lied to. And there's no peace in that. Just more question...

[sinNsincerity]

When I was younger, I would stay away from the occult, magic, and other teachings that are deemed evil. But if you look at those who have been in power, they very much so believe in those teaching and forbidden knowledge. So I'm now diving into those readings. Not to encompass myself in it, but to not be a deer in the headlights. . .

[wordman]

the essenes used numerology ,astronomy aong with other things considered to be tabu,,i think all we need to know is locked inside of us,i think we are good and evil,i think we have all the knoledge we need just can`t seem to open that door,i believe in re incarnation,i believe our souls are ancient

[sinNsincerity]

I love numerology. I use it all the time and see and apply it to everything. I agree with you Ron.

[wordman]

lol,and every body thought i was just an ole tennessee red neck

[sinNsincerity]

And me a ghetto kid from East Los Angeles haha
you're too funny Ron!

[ROXANE DORSEY]

find paradise in my mind, clever write. thanks for the sharing of your talent.

[sinNsincerity]

Our minds allow us to sub-create from the creation.
Thank you for reading Roxane.
