Carnal Carnival~

~trippy trips through layers of primal baklavah~ ;)~

Lightningbug, who decided out of blue to be spun of honey,

for his sugar moth

lit in a vat of cotton candy and raspberry crème

and fulfilled the summer cheeks

of a chubby dream licking the colors

from the skye

 

a woman, who loved a man who'd never really understand her brand of love

well, she came out of her daydreams by the candy stand

and dipped her fingers into ambrosia

 

funhouse lights came on

a funnel cake vendor opened his palm

for her tongue to slick across

powdered sugar

he closed her in his fist

just like that

she laughed inside his life line

cut his breath in half

with an inside out kiss

passionate enough to crush his bones to white ash

 

she blossomed above the tents like a rose  

an Arabian bloom

of elusive blue

she grabbed a trellis of golden hair

flung her acrobatic body

into the arms of a man

caught

unexpected on a high wire

her lips finding

those sweet hollows between his belly and hip bones

two lives entangled on pure sex

and nothing more

plummeting into the arena

to land on the strong back of a caramel stallion

 

they rode off into the night

past the arcades drenched in the blood of carnival

ripped past fabrics of preconceived beliefs

in love

manifested

in the body of a laughing plastic cat

(made in China stuck on its hollow butt)

which the woman snatched from the hands of a little boy

saying "Be free, express yourself, vouge!"

and tossed it away

up, into the laughing mouth of the full moon above

as she laid her white marble cheek

into the strong back of the man

who took her for a carnal ride through New Orleans

up into the Eucharist of a different taste

where they reclined back into each others bones

in a boat made of Elysian dreams

through a swamp

 

alligator came up to take a peek at all the moaning and sighing going on

in the frolicking boat

 

a heron leapt from the bole of a bone tree

landed on his snout

"Have a sense of decency for Christ’s sake, you perv."

he said to the alligator

who blushed vermillion

and sank back into the undulating waters of the swamp

 

The man came up for air from her red mouth

"For you I'll make an exception.  But only because you're so you."

and his blue eyes laughed

with the purr giggle from her throat

as she sucked him back into her body with a kiss

through her throat

into her cheeks

into her wondrous carnival of mind

Love this.... Reminds me of a song, perhaps Bob Dylan would sing...Played in only two chords...nice work, Moon Goddess.

"in the body of a laughing plastic cat (made in China)
the woman snatched from the hands of a little boy
and tossed into the laughing mouth of the full moon above
as she laid her white marble cheek into the strong back of the man"

Play it using all minor chords....:-)

A poem full of mystery and wild images and has left me craving more of your words. I am glad to have read this unique poem, I have been inspired.

into those sweet hollows between his belly and hip bones-thats one of my favourite places on a woman- im digging it inside your blinking fantastical chaotic slippery mind, i think tom robbins and burroughs had a love child in your frontal lobe, near the triangle of enlightment, the child pokes at your eyes from within, causing light to pulsate and solidity to liquify. trippy.

I like the carnival. Your detail and description create a vision of a wonderful and world of mystery. So many statements stood out. I like the complete poem. I did like how you ended this outstanding poem. Thank you.

Now she has some kind of kiss that cuts breath in half and turns them into ash and carrys him in her body or is it really her mind? :) Not sure if I would want to be kissed like that, but then again maybe? Truly like a carnival tht holds mystery and secrets and events that can't be explained but just enjoyed by the patrons your poem to so richly is enjoyed by us your readers.

[Ed Hart]

yes, a wondrous carnival of mind...Dali at his most precise, and Joyce with his rainbow pen, couldn't come close to this, my dear

[Maurice]

I had to read it several times to take it all in. Very rich and stunning.
