Flesh is grave cold
in the pre dawn chill
eyes blink slowly
seeking focus, seeking sun,
limbs are just a jumble,
padded bones not animate,
a sluggish ooze of life
moves through reluctant veins
and tries to strike a spark
against the flint of will,
breath heaves against
the slightest wisp of smoke
to make a conflagration
of desire, of need to make
the day my own
and rise up
from the little death
sleep takes me to,
sweet shadow of the future
rolled back by rising sun,
by wind that reeks of green,
of life and sap that calls,
bypassing flesh, addressing spirit
knowing it will answer, will respond
as long as flesh has breath
to feed the furnace
of the lungs.

Claayer, you do write like that, in your posts, your comments, when you express your opinions.

Your words sing with heart and passion, even though you do not structure them the way I do.

I use more adjectives, that's all.

Oh you mean like:

The bee, he is a busy soul;
He has no time for birth control!
That is why, in times like these,
There are so many Sons of B's!


Like that?

Love it! No need to apologise.

Particularly funny here as our political parties are referred to as the Dee's (democratic labour party) and the Bee's (barbados labour party).devil rolling on the floor laughing laugh
