Colors
Each design seemed of mirrors
Sliced thin to string
And woven thread-like
Into the fabric
Of her blood blue jeans
If I concentrated hard enough
I could truly
See myself in her pants
Silk blouse –
The color of
A six winged angel’s
Lust –
Hung loosely
About her left shoulder,
Line slanting
Tightening about her chest
Before disappearing
Underneath her right
Underarm
She took a step
In those glass heels
And then another
Scraping scratching
Breaking again and again
Something inside of me
She walked like
The moon sings
Body shaped
Like a black hole’s
Orgasm
As if she knew, she smiled
I could imagine Lucifer smiled
Exactly like that
As he bowed before his lord
Knowing what was to come
A smile that
Preludes the coming war
For my soul
Wanting to conquer
And claim Heaven
Yet falling and
Falling into her
Finding Hell
Truly –
There is no
Place like home
She laughed
As if she
Read my thoughts
Sounding like
An alien rainbow
Rising water
Not of this world
Forming clouds these skies
Have never seen
Spectrum reflected
By unfamiliar sun
Neither beautiful nor ugly
Exotic. Enticing, at the same time,
Frightening
Genuine too
As that smile is reflected
In those eyes
The color of a desert’s disdain
For moisture
Yet I drown
Hair the length
Of a hot summer night
The color fading
From a midnight’s chill
At the roots
To a dictator’s will
At the tips
She calls to me
With the voice of a thousand gods
Raping a thousand virgins
Messiahs
Born on her tongue
Saliva made of prophesy
Vocal chords driving destiny
Between lips the same color as forever
And just as lush
For better or for worse
No telling which
As my hand touches skin
The hue of a million desires
I die
In a truly Elizabethan sense
Oh the colors…

Astonished
Astonished that my goddess walks in the flesh
Regal and sensual she strides through my rest
Eternal and forever and a day and my wish
Please grant me forever to savor your kiss
Level upon level of depth in your touch
Yesterday is today and tomorrow is us
Future is now when me and you fuss
Or when me and you crush upon rose petaled lust
Reward is your smile like the sky in the dawn
You win me with wiles and I drown in your storms
O goddess I read through the lines of your psalms
Under your skies I recite In your calm
