Slumber Woods Dance

Different for me.

Hazily kindled by full springtime moon,

Goddess who bites with venomous kisses;
Her brilliant madness wafts ghostly slow
Like fireflies drunk on the hot mist of night.

Wind sips at her breasts with dark lilac shades.
Hazel glade of hot tongues; stars spurn her stare.
Curves of her form sewn by wayward angels.
I bathe in her pools; a sweetness that kills.

We pierce the black veils of mundane frenzy
With blessed pink n*****s moistened of dew;
Blood spills on her alter; rose-colored sap.

Wrapped in vine thighs of Queen Mab; lovingly crushed.

Ferocious hush of passionate maelstrom
devours the greens and azures with sleep.
One last precious taste of purple smeared sky

As my eternal eyes focus Beyond.

 

On mortal martyr! On to your dream place!

Raw soul-bloom has sprung from flawed fleshy root.

A grub left to earth; butterfly skyward!

Fly to your rest until morning wakes new.

Author's Note

O.T. is my favorite tea drinker today. Innit?
In my opinion, he should have been invited to the royal wedding,
and be seated beside Kanye West. :)~

now see.... I envision this a Bacchanalian wine tasting party in the vineyard. Everyone hedonistically partakes and then slumbers on the grass as they drift toward dreamland....

I don't see these fresh spawned works as resembling a past mortal/human period. I see them as taps into the cosmos, sampling time eras immortal, like before the Atlantans....

but then again I can sup a lot of grape juice.... n*****s moistened of dew... fill me another quaff vintner...

Lots of twists and turns between the beautifully engraved images. Little moments and hints at other things to drag the reader deeper into the play.

LOL to authors notes...now distracting from the poem...!!! Indeed a write needing rapturous applause as it is divine, the phrasing and structure is simply beautiful..

Beautiful words.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

This poem is mind blowing.. from first to last verse.. so powerful, sensual ... a lovely ride drinking with the God of Wine..
"Like fireflies drunk on the hot mist of night."
Brilliant!

I absolutely love this! Very detailed. I love the words you use. Very good job!

[OT]

init indeed!! haha see now I turned down the invitation, scared Kanye would do a taylor swift... awkward right?? haha - you I know I like it - the sibilance is off the chart - it all just twirls in a hiss - lending a nice ominous hum to the words "to rest until morning wakes"... "mortal martyr" - little comments dropped here and there to alter the read - lots of colour plays too! the altar etc. the martyr - all linking back!! nice!

Shades of Keats and Shelley here, I would say. Ode to Queen Mab. It's a beaut.

[Nobody.]

Stunning dude! Like the new pic, too.
