Spartacus2012 Poetry (404)

Nubian queen
come to your king
your braids
in red, gold and green
may our enemies be scattered
as we pass the desert hours
on this mattress stuffed
with rarest of wild flowers...

Sheba natural mother
bring your skillful talents
your body and hands
only for your king in his tent
you my queen of the moon
skin dark and beautiful as it gleams
queen of the summer
mother of children in my dreams...

I kiss soft skin soft brown fire
biting her anklet chain of gold
goddess in a funereal pyre
I kiss your beautiful feet
Cleopatra, Juliet and Mona Lisa
I kiss your beautiful toes
I kiss them for love and respect...

It seems
my past
is everything
I failed to be.

I am
a product
of my past
not a prisoner
of it.

I will
not be
stuck in a labyrinth
thinking I'll
escape one day.

However, the clock ticks
hours pass
the past reverberates
the future recedes.

If the present
changes the past
looking back
I did not find

what I left behind.

So often there seems to be
the two of you
one who is scared of love
one who's heart is true...

I see the two of you
I try and make room
no matter what they say or do
sometimes wanting to split them in two...

When you lashed out at me
I felt like an abandoned child
the medicine will set you free
and return again your smile...

I love the two of you
sometimes the light escapes and dims
our love and faith will get us through
the one of me and the two of you...

I gave it all up
every time
as long
as it was next week...

So surreal
the more I did
the more I laughed
out of context...

Escaping reality
so harder
to cope
when it was re-imagined..

Then I imagined
all the bill collectors
as little
voodoo dolls..

They all
had needles
in their mouths
But, I don't care,

I'm holding
the dagger..HaHaHaha!

Songbird in my front yard
feeding on seed I've thrown
I can see you
because I have become
part of the silence..

Each day I learn from you
as the fish learn from the sea
the Sparrow and the Blue Jay
learn from the wide open sky..

Mockingbird I am lonely today
chant your melancholy in the still air
call for your lost lover
making the stars smile
and your mate to sing back..

Tonight I will chant for my lover
as I look for her in distant stars
perhaps they are all just nests
of celestial invisible birds...

My tummy is full
just finished a cheeseburger
finished with those fries?

As two we set out
looking into the other
powerful yet unreal

Closing our eyes
we touch one another
thunderous yet unreal

Suddenly our bodies merge
we begin to dream the other
everything becomes real

We awaken together
seeing ourselves in the other...

Lilith came to me in a dream
she said Eden was beautiful
we fell through the abyss
the fury of our flight
kindled the air...

It thundered and lightninged
below us the ocean boiled
birds of prey gathered
she said we were to marry
the mark of Cain upon me...

She kissed with venom on her lips
with roses across her chest
I was in love
like an addict
loves his addiction...

"You may do with me as you like," she said
you have been in bed with whores before
you are free to do as you will
since you like doing it
more than you like what you do...

Summon the dark priest drenched in sin
for my harlot shackled in death
whoredom that plays like an orchestra
as she enticed me to shout
the shrill scream of o*gasm...

The lightning and thunder ceased
she disappeared behind dark mountains
between sky and land
the dusk and dawn
wearing her crown of jagged stars...

She slit the throat of the horizon
as I fell back
into my Merlin sleep
I heard a siren's voice say,
"I am Lilith and you are mine-forever!"

It's way past midnight
no birthday bells
just the arrival
of another day..

Maybe a fresh start
my woman
is mad at me
over something frivolous..

It was my wish
she would call today
I'm one year older
Happy Birthday to me!

The palpitations of my heart
have gone wild
I am consumed
with the thoughts of you my beloved...

I am imprisoned
wash away my sin
for nothing removes the taste of you
my unrequited love...

Perhaps we should act
the part of lovers
even through rose colored glasses
chasing an elusive dream...

Is there a difference
between love and obsession?
am I consumed with your skin
is this love?

Is this the beginning of our forever?
for I burn inside for you
for to keep it quiet
would be the greatest punishment..

If our love
is an unrequited love
even then
it is a colorful rainbow...

May you bring love
filling my night with stars
when the moon is lemon yellow
among the celestial silver bars...

Come when the sun sets
the evening mellow and gray
or if you so wish
come early in the day...

Embrace me when you're sad
and feeling full of grief
float into my arms
like a falling Autumn leaf..

Be the first wind
the Springtime blows
the morning star
as it flickers and glows...

You are dark my love
on my shoulder you do rest
my ebony nesting dove
always bringing out my best...

Often alone
in midst of people
picturing you
being pleased
pleasing me
in love with you
defeat in victory
remaining loyal to my killer...

Fire woman
lightning in my sky
shooting star
Juliet, Guinevere and Eloise
you are you
burning ember
funereal pyre
love is fire
without hurting...
