Where is Balance?

 

I flail 
beyond satiation- 
hands pressed against the margins- 
excess my guide 
availing. 
 
 
Outer verges, boundaries 
and limitlessness 
draw from me 
every  arrow 
in my quiver. 
 
I abandon everything for you. 
 
All my givens burst 
my hands now test limits 
my rainbow's here 
before the rain 
 
I am dead on for you 
urgently 
in the minute transformation. 
 
Art discipline 
now abandoned; 
Art my lover standing- 
vision on the rosy tipped 
intoxicating horizon, 
 
reaching through 
my filmy gauze 
smashing blocks 
of writing stops 
 
breathes into me 
respirations; 
 
rainbow arcing 
new exhalations 
nacent molds phantasmagorical, 
new time is born. 
 
It feels like this. 
 
Every time I take the wanton risk 
for lust here drives 
my pen 
I think. 
 
A certain hungriness 
to see just beyond 
the margins line 
where lover 
lifts my dawns 
in odd hours 
beckoning. 
 
A bridge to cross each time; 
dizzying 
excessive steps to walk; 
  
a culture by these 
gained 
or lost. 
 
Every Artist's Creed: 
 
Risk and Art inter-breed 
Culture in the breach

Balance is where you choose it to be and risks are self imposed. I like this piece Lonnie. Patrick
