I took the liberty of slurping up the quiver on your gloriously clammy shoulder My tongue was on the way there anyway to quell the quarantine of shared sweat handed down by my failing air conditioner (I may have to remind myself to chew on my next french fry) No adnauseating hum will tamper with the beat of our dramatic hips smacking like exhausted blackboard brushes in the airy aftermath of schoolyard bustle Three o' clock sun ignites unprecedented hustle in recalcitrant schoolboys blanketed in discipline's dust cloud Rain some lecture on me if you must I'll lay out my stomach to put on your pelts of vocal torrents and unearth my goosebumps to bloom like fiddleheads of education Never has a lonely syllable felt more aware of the melodic subject of predicated guardian angels
Hmm.. think! think! think! Okay I'm thinking there is raw passion in there. Untamable passion. Furry skin to be laid on your stomach? Ha! Barbarically gorgeous! Those words are insane but gorgeous at the same time, made me think of Tarzan and Cleopatra fornicating at the conference hall of the White House. If you find this offensive, you're free to delete the comment but it's what came to me after reading the poem. Oh the mind..

Well, love and lust could work together, I think. But remember, some of the most beautiful things doesn't need to be searched for, they just happen when you least expect it. And yes the mind haha!

But I do agree whole-heartedly with everything you say. In fact, I do believe they bring out the best in each other. And true beauty certainly has a way of appearing when it's not being consciously sought out. Thankfully, I'm not so much of a fool that I've lost sight of that lol :)

"I took the liberty of slurping up
the quiver on your gloriously clammy shoulder" - SO DELIGHTFUL!!!! This piece is so amazingly interlocked with words and sexuality! Yes, Rain some lecture on me! I love this phrase!! This has to be one of the most mind blogging pieces I have ever read! (I may have to remind myself
to chew on my next french fry)! I absolutely Love this line! You have a great talent for putting in a mixture of idea's and painting a poem that describes that of hunger, sexuality, and absolutely passion. And again, your creativity is off the charts with putting it all together :) Where do you find your muse?

She's gotten very good at hide-and-seek in recent months, metaphorically speaking that is lol The words have not been coming as frequently as they have at other points in time but one can one do? Willingness and inspiration usually don't come at the same time, not for me anyway lol :P But as I've said many times, your compliments definitely breed confidence and ensure that I'm not as creatively insecure as I've been in the past :)

I can picture you thinking over this piece lol. But your sexual element comes out great, and with a taste that is like no other. I tend to also labor over these parts as well, and that's why I haven't posted my pieces with them in it yet. Well, regardless of your muse playing hide and seek, she is very good and playing with your words and coming up with fabulous pieces!!!

Well good luck!!! Get those creative juices flowing :)
So abstract... I see your earlier work was more impressionism while this must surely document a move into the abstract. It seems done with palette knife or small wood chips. Each dipped in the bodily fluid of participants and flung on a canvas at odds with the limitations of nature in an ill-weathered environment. A collage of shredded vocabulary frames this peeked visage. Do I admire the view or the molding? I am in a quandary over it and pause to fetch briar pipe to mouth before consulting the Pocket Handbook of Small Mysteries.
