Poetry For The Soul

Un jour, à l'éternité


A heartbeat, between split-beat of
Breath how burn the heart within,
Crying out a name, missing in silence
Only Gods feel, angels eulogize between
A man, a woman, between now
And then… amidst veils, shadows perched
Cast like a play between Sun, and night
Between life, and death

 

I trace the hardness of the heart
Within flows the blood encircling aliken
Moths towards a flame, beating in prayer
For none alone, in conscience care
Of a past remembrance, of promises
Unwept, beating like drums at dusk

A thought, unconsumed, an embrace
Unfulfilled, sealed in words unspoken
Prayers, implored as eyes dart across
The darken skies, unlit like a blanket
Disheartened, as tears cull in eyes
Wrenching a revelation pleased
Only a Soul may express

"... Que je vous aime"

 

Succulent Affair

 

 

Dark, his skin beckons

Me to taste and slice the meat

Off, enriched with goodness

Only the heart can savour

Though through the tongue

Its bitter-sweetness reigns

Alike a king

Sweet, pungent and killing

Acidic, the flowing juice, a

Reminiscent of past joys

 

Sweet renderings, tis sweet as honey

This love I miss amidst

tasting pleasures, none have I miss

amidst displeasures

the groins of nature plucked

like raisins sweet ready

to be squashed and trampled

like bodies intertwine

 

How beauty colours the brazen

Jars in winter pure, hardened

Embracing juice in dark cellars

A succulent affair

That drenches the body warm to

Silent madness of twirls, spirals

And dances… meshed between

Blood and soul
