kush

[Aish]

put to flame and curling

kaneh-bosem anoints my lungs,
traces maps on my fingers
and wets my spirit in greeting.

so fine is she
so purple kushy
so indulgent in warm embrace...

closer I sway

farther across the plane...
prayerful
in sudden lust

...and the tanglements never fade,
illuminate memories in twilight

unbidden,
yet not unwelcome
bellydancing in the rhythm of unseen life...

no pain in their intoxication
no silence in their mirage...

just a piece of me, torn from you
and set aside. ..

I adore this line: "bellydancing in the rhythm of unseen life..." This poem reminds me why I've missed your odd and spiritual work. You're like a slightly mad shaman

[Aish]

What an awesome compliment!!! I would if I had a penis

[heslopian]

Good Lord... I swear there are more smileys than emotions they serve to express!

[Aish]

'Tis true. Karpackie and Mark are smiley whores (better than frowney whores, I suppose).

[heslopian]

Frowney whores annoy me. I'm paying through the nose to bang you on a mattress in an alleyway, the least you can do is smile like you chose this career!

[Mark]

'Tis true. Karpackie and Mark are smiley whores

And proud of it. If I could have two pages of them I would.

Frowney whores annoy me. I'm paying through the nose to bang you on a mattress in an alleyway, the least you can do is smile like you chose this career!

Frowny and Frowney set off my spell check . . .
