Poem Artwork

 

This has been boxed in,

Fenced in,

Hemmed in,

Hedged in

Fermenting

Exploding

Writhing

seething

In the core,

In the pores,

All over

Locked tight.

 

Let it free

Oh please God

Make me ready

You are making me want it

Beyond need

Beyond reasonableness

I need to share it.

 

The brown,

The twisted brown

Are cold.

Make them hot

And warm and ripe

And draping

Down the side.

Keep them beautiful

Free from shame,

But make them alive again.

 

 

Frustration

creation

art

Love

Sex

Passion

words

Pouring from my fingertips

I need to express them

Now.

You contain the sun.

Let me burn

Deep and red

Layers upon layers

 

                               I want to eat strawberries

No talking allowed, just

 feeling

doing,

being,

fingertips

noses

lips open

eyes closed

breathing the moment

in deeply.

O dear God when will the strawberries

Be in season?

                                         

 

                      I don’t think that I can wait much longer.

You amaze me. You are one of those people who have an incredible gift... and an incredible depth... that is visible on the surface... but so truly deep... I'm glad to say I know you. I love this piece.

Very personal and expressive, both form and content tell a lot about the author.

Welcome,

Okay . . . You fired me up . . . Held my attention . . . Bummed me out . . . My fault . . . I was thinking erotic . . . All the while with reservation, knowing the leadup to only arive at the mundane . . . Well, strawberries, I suppose are "really" mundane . . . Gotta love it . . .
