whitereflectioncleaning up old poems sitting around on my desktop/email. only can fuss with things for so long, really.
Purple
there's a daydream shimmering world
whispering promise-sweet words
like breeze against my ear;
if i step through its
summer-gold shining door
will it paint my shadow wings with light
and unfurl them to stretch across the sunset horizon
like cathedral arches up to the silver sky?
with a tempting lover-touch
against my cheek
it entices me to fly free;
but if i go where you can't follow,
would you give me
one last kiss farewell?
or would i wake to a mist-veiled dawn
and find you waiting there for me
after all?
(DVAD, written 10-2-06, fiddled with since then until i'm sick of it)
***
xo tic
tense and restless
tie sailor's knots
to bind down my stomach
while caged tigers
pace abruptly
restlessly
back and forth
through my coiled
(anxious to move
ready to spring)
muscles
i can close my eyes
to hide a lightning flashing
storm is coming gaze
but pardon me
if i open my mouth
and roar thunder
(DVAD 10-9-06)
Also, did take off the aft from work, but spent it all dealing with more holiday stuff. Why does just getting gift cards take so much energy, really. So cards and the mini-tree still aren't done, but I think the majority of the getting is dealt with. Odd note when stopping at the bookstore though--where the hell was all their Kerouac? Wanted On the Road and Dharma Burns, if not a good complete collection of poetry, but they had none of those, just a few misc books. Unlike for every other poet in that section (speaking of which, got a nice TS Eliot collection yay). Gonna have to Amazon some Kerouac I think. Have wanted to for awhile, but after seeing some quotes recently, I'm really craving like whoa.
