The very .. thought of you

Casts all else from my mind

The very .. want of you

Draws all desire as I unwind


Into your arms .. into your soul

The very essense of attraction

The very way .. you make me whole


At least for a little while

I pray for that to come again

I still pray about the day I met you

I dream you as a flower .. and I .. your stem.

REVOLUTIONARY BUSINESS IDEAS
__________________________________

Alright .. well it would appear that my Candle Repair Shop business is floundering in the fast paced world of Franchising .. I think what happened was that I underpriced it. Prospective franchisees were hanging up in droves in the middle of my telephone interviews with them .. they just could not believe I was going to give them the benefit of my expertise or system design for only $9.99. RATS ! Oh well .. live and learn.


So .. I got to thinking .. what to do with all of my rather large wax inventory ?
I was showering this AM .. I dropped the soap, when I looked down .. it came to me in a FLASH !

TESTICLE HOT WAX TREATMENT ! ! !

Watch for it soon .. I will be in your neighbourhood organizing home
T - HOT WAX parties in an effort to get this new thing up and running.

Hmmm.. wonder what I should price the damn thing at ..

A man bereft

By a woman adorned

Right shifts to left

And both are scorned


Then left to lie

In a gutter of sorts

Right to die

In oceans without ports


Cast around

In a timeless sea

You never knew

What you meant to me.


Vitsec.

I thought of you

Night and day

I wanted you

In every way


I longed for you

Long before .. I was born

You .. my Main Sail

Never .. to be ripped or torn


Never to stop

Holding the wind

I just wish

You and I

Had never sinned.


Vitsec.

Thanks Tommo .. when the compliment comes from the poet on here .. whose works I enjoy the most .. I feel rather honored. :-)

A romantic notion

About a distant date

A sense of urgency

Even when .. you won't be late


Biding your time

Holding your heart

Counting the stars

Dreaming of

A new start


You believed it was there

Then you began to hope

That these muddy waters

Would become a kaleidoscope.



Vitsec.

I dreamt of you the other night
I thought it was just a dream

You had wings of finest gossamer
Your golden heart .. oh how it gleamed
You wore the most beautiful gown made of light
Pure light .. uncontained .. without seam

You spoke to me in tones so soft
Ephemeral but true
You were gone when I awoke
To find that my black had turned white
And there was no more blue.

It was no dream .. it was you.

Vitsec.

CRACK
___________

A crack in the exterior

Of your eastern most northern shore

A fissure with no interior

A destination without a door


The deep pursuit of misery

Brings you to a place

Within and without yourself

Your destination has your face.


Vitsec

If .. I have learned anything

In this last .. Go Around

It probably has to do

With .. Sight .. and .. Sound


The sound of a Mother

Nursing her Babe

The sight of a homeless person

Coming to another's Aid


The Scream of Murder

At around Midnight

The Sight of Blood covered Nations

Trying to hide that .. from .. The Light


The sound of a puppy

Wailing for a teet

The sight of your First Born Child

Torn from their seat


And cast into

Their own Sight and Sound mix

And told not to worry about .. The Present

Just .. get another FIX.



Vitsec.

I have a nosy thing

Up my conundrum

And I think it has been there

For quite a while ..


And I am just not .. just sure .. why

Butt .. I kinda like it

Even though it has no morals .. It has .. style


But not a style to which I am accustomed

And not one to which I am keen

To put it another way

You best not go .. to where the Light


Has never been.



Vitsec

If you find yourself
Paying more attention
To how someone says something
Than to what it is that they actually say

You will remain in the narrow corridor of thought
That was taught to you
Beginning on your very first kindergarten day

Your life and absence of growth
Will remain what it has been
You will think you know just what you think you saw
And yet you will never know .. myriad .. sights unseen.

I really like that Penny ! My Polish father, when I was a little boy told me in his simple way of talking that if a decision was a really important one .. " to think 10 times, Vitsec " . :-)

The way things are

Are the way .. I meant them to be

The way you are .. is what you mean to me.


Vitsec

I wonder if that is how Rip Torn felt prior to adopting that name ?

In your case and in mine .. the best way for either of us to understand the predominant feeling .. would be via a kiss.

V.

IF ONLY
______________________

If only you had just asked me once
To kiss you
I may have just .. made a try
And embraced your soul while caressing your hair

Held you in my arms
Whispering in your ear .. please don't lie
To yourself or to me
Please .. see the difference

Between the devil
And the deep blue sea.

Vitsec.

The dead priests referenced in the poem are a bit of a metaphor for lost souls. The flesh itself would mean nothing .. and NO .. I am not a cannibal. I am not an artist .. and there is no such thing as " normal " despite what you might need to believe. You are just you and I am just me.

The thing about poetry is that it is all about your own perception ( or lack there of ) .. my motivation in writing this is simply a reflection of what I understand about so called " humanity " . Religion is a bad word .. Spirituality is another story altogether.

DEAD PRIESTS
___________________

I eat dead priests


But only after ..

I have swished them around

And twirled them down

Into the ground


A good place to contemplate

The injury that they caused

In the name of God

Those crippled mercenary ****ers


Alkali becomes Sod.

David Ben .. disrespecting Women .. is an Agony you will take to your Grave .. unless of course .. you stop doing that.

Before I could ever

Take your cake

I just may want to

Ask you why


I should do it

In the first place ..

What ever did you do with

The Decorations


Did I miss something


Or were you .. just being Sly ?
