This could be a long read, a collage of poetry over several years of my most serious relationship. Make of it what you will and forgive the naievty in places, most of it is very old!

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I awake from another malaise too weak to argue back, I hear another stranger ringing the door bell, Life is a constant cycle of inhibitions...

Allusive smile Maybe too much. Feels like something that's had bits cut out to make it fit into something. Needs to be more drawn out, for me, more specific. But that's maybe not the point of it, yes?

huck:
worst. comedown. ever. frown my perception of colour is noticably diminished. i shit you not.

Swan like in their grace and poise
the denials I have favoured the most of late
chat sullenly amongst themselves,
I'm not welcome there any more,

apparently I'm too dour and sordid for their tastes nowadays.

Well...

at least the bottle caps I flicked
onto the broken heel of one of your discarded shoes
(the one I kept as a trophy)
seem to have ended...

Thank you smile

Happy Easter!

Thanks for reading all that, and I'm glad you took something from it.

Sorry to hear you're not at your best. I'm sure you'll recover soon enough, though - only a matter of time smile

Alone With a Friend in Albion

In a hula-hoop of joy I envied the swish of your tail,
the finest of furs,
the thickening of paint on the walls
levied with taxes of course,
taxes of closed eyes and supposed howls to the moon,
yes the moon,
a taxidermy of love all balled up in my balls,
those stupid things,
a cascading shadow of promise,...

Here is a link to the promo shots for the theatre production I am putting on in London early May.

Reader Promo Photos

The play is called Reader and is written by the wonderful Ariel Dorfman who will be flown over from USA during the run of the play (2nd May- 5th May including matinees) for an introduction and Q&A on the final night.

She carried a red suitcase
as she walked on her tippy toes
to the front door,

the latch slowly unclicked
and silently she sprung away
into the Summer morning.

The crisp air lingered over her wry smile,
self satisfied and unchaste.

It caressed her ruddy cheeks
and clung inside the pockets of her weary eyes.

There she left him sleeping peacefully,
wrapped unawares in their...

Blind kids playing football with a giant yellow ball with a bell inside? Damn, that's what I call sport! I would've enjoyed games in high school if they'd included that biggrin

I read your words 'my Leo ego took over' as 'my Lego took over'. Scary toy revolt images filled my head biggrin

A cup of orange tea Mr. Marquis?

The Marquis of the U.S.S.R. was awash with worry,
I'd better be weeping rather than sleeping she said
as the children burned so politely in their bed,
their blessed little fingers holding pinkies,
twenty four tiny deaths,
each one a mistake of course,
still,
there'll be time for crumpets and tea,
maybe some sandwiches and quiche
after all,...

vasilisa:
sounds like a plan. I just like the black widow's views on sex...that an the amazon tradition where a girl can not get married until after her first kill. Yes my dad brought me up this way, I'm sure he's proud in his own special way :s

which story was it where the man was paralysed and lived in a canoe in his living room, I distinctly remember one of your stories about this.

xx
vasilisa:
I'm sure you could always have a canoe themed epilogue :s where the hell did that idea come from then? argh....the ginger demons are surrounding whats left of my tender sanity!!!

erm, I believe that the sequence would be kill, mate, feast. the kill is not the mate. One finds the mate after a successful kill (all in the spirit of drink,smoke, fight, fuck smile), mates and then devours them. I'm sure this could be twisted into an orgy if many of the adolescents killed at the same time (war of the sexes? would the men then indulge in a little necrophilia to celebrate if they killed?) I like to think that there would be a huge orgy followed by a feast, lots of postcoital jugular taring, that kind of thing smile

night night! hehehe

[The scene is set, the cadaver is brought to the theatre, the surgeon prowls with murderous intent, scalpels and tongs and syringes in her claws. A band of gypsy musicians, two violas, a cello, and a penny whistle skulk in the blood stained extremities of the room playing discordant ditties, cloaked in ever darkening shadows the patient stirs from death. Each cut of the witches...

Kiss me,
Let me anticipate it's arrival,
let me mourn it's passing,
Moreover,
let me drink you in when our lips caress for the merest second,
when we brush our kissing tools and I feel the sweet gloss of your saliva in mine.

Let me see the spaces between the shadows, where the light shines in.

Let me see that brevity is tragedy,
tragedy is...

silveronthetree:
I love this.

I`d point out that you linger on before and after, not on the kiss itself, like it wasn`t really important. Its an intresting thought and another reason you should read the Island. If Brave New World is a negative Utopia, then Island is the opposite.
triptick:
I find Vasilisa's comments fascinating because to her it seems as if the kiss may not have happened. To me it certainly did. It was the fleetingness of it that made it special. Always the struggle to capture those favorite moments of physical intimacy. I love the circularity of the second last stanza and how in the end the lost memory is sacrificed with the understanding that it will return on its own. By far this is one of the best poem's I've seen in this group.

A day to wallow and wallow I will.

Wandering the heath...hand in hand I imagine,
cold mist and long winter light,
a perfect glisten and sheen to your eyes,
together under a glass dome.

Sharing memories,
watching defences tumble with your golden hair onto your lap.

The haze of your perfume,
oranges and sandalwood,
musk and roses,
sweet and intoxicating,
separating.
isolating.

Beautiful and ruined,...
