Poetry

Thunder crashes raging wavesSocial unrest on the shoreHunger hides down winding cavesPatience grumbles ever more. Fluttered bellies twist in knotsNormal stances bend and swayHidden interest lost in thoughtsPassing hands will find their way.

I am a slut to passion My appetite unbound. I am crisp green leaves I wave from lonely treetops bending in the breeze. My castle's walls reach ... greedy fingers penetrate the powder-puff horizon

Battles fought with swords of bone Wars won with waving hands Spirits nailed to resenting stone Voices heard in many lands.

Fish paddling Under altered pace Street signs In hollow veins Their gold bodies Glimmering In the spicy flavour Of clotless blood Ruby red Tails swishing Wide eyes And a short train of thought Arteries stretched By an orange ball Fully formed In a small space Swish

Know always with certainty in your presence My ethereal self the aesthetic capacity of my humanity Touched and prompted against all will Reticently releases in welcome response like channeled steam
