and i paint rain nights..

and i paint rain nights, sunlit scented
castles to your skin with hands, tender,
trembling wide with force of magic bent
between the summoning from storm
and time left lying, careless, spent

with chalk dust limbs, rolled into sleepy
voice like twilight into night gaps,

and between the spring i fall and wine
glows crimson in the candle flame
when heart bends to you, unprotected,

folded from the stars to kitchen tables,
joint return and walks with autumn, out-
bound, puzzling love lines, smooth where
eyes would break in everyday and
called by candied ponds, in gardens,
outpoured and just clay as it is

nothing else we need for soil to carry
bones to open land and cracks in what
is growing hard in gray of clockwork,
rolled in you, in nutmeg scented skin and
dew drips light from overgrown in fern-webbed
forests, lush, i sip on branches, thick
with sap– and mornings

this is my entry into FormForAll at dVerse – guest-hosted today by the absolutely wonderful Lady Nyo…Gates open 3 pm EST… and we’re writing love poems..

not really

i don’t drink whiskey – usually and probably
this is my eight out of nine or so problem as

getting badly drunk just by the smell like on that
day when we had samples in the office, you
k n o w_we  measure  flow and someone had
to – ‘cos the density can vary and that was

what i thought of, this evening in the bar and
you had e y e s their color amber-ish, kinda
fell into them and smelling you did crash me

to the ground, t’ was the gravity they say but
more, ha guess it was where angels dance and
they had many colors as you saw and multi-as-
king questions but not a teeny-weeny an-swear

so probably that’s why, you know i chose to
sorta stay ‘cos —

i still haven’t found
what i’m looking for.

ha – it’s hot today…and i went by bike to work…so my brain got a bit fried…first time linking up with poetry jam (probably no good first impression…) and also with the free verse crowd who sails under Steven Marty Grant’s flag today..(they know me quite well and probably shake their head..ha)
oh and the poetry jam challenge was to use the line of a song and build it into a poem – you already found out – right…? still haven’t found what i’m looking for – U2 – a song that really moved me lately..
