_

"I've been to the desert on a horse with no name..." ____America


Sweet poseidon
for now lay down the book, papers
place intellect in abeyance, your
unseen world of life altering quest
for time is whisking by.
Let me possess your lips, my
sweet old god, mouth, arms
and triton; ease your power over stormy eyes
I demand, impetuous and washed in clamor of love
like the relentless sea, tide's surging crest.
Breathe in wavy salt air, dwell in rapture of the deep.
Roar and roar with ocean's crash, forget all facts but
this ---- love embraces, it stuns far stars and sun.
Flapping cries soar to escalate fire's sensual
core o soul of water, some faint
blush of witness together graced.
Glimpse of unknown doors that open and close;
like the distant shush of whispering shells.
~

...Yet the stones remain less real to those who cannot
name them, or read the mute syllables graven in silica.
To see a red stone is less than seeing it as jasper—
metamorphic quartz, cousin to the flint the Kiowa
carved as arrowheads.
To name is to know and remember
_____________'Words', Dana Gioia

Deb..........this is awsome.........oh my goodness.........making love to the gods......making love to the sea..........a complete and total sense of physical ecstasy....... :bow:

... and his words purge up and outward,
expelled and onward through desert dust swallowed,
sands he says that gorge on simple sensibilities.
And, now he spits fragments, grit, extended vowels and elongated syllables
over cracked lips. Their sounds fall
piling round his boots… ~ jeannerené
