The Color of Jade-is Green
I used to be straight. But now I'm,
not quite so. Don't get it twisted
that's not a creaking closet: door you're hearing.
My doors have always been wide open
I'm not wrapped around, another, guy.
Just your pinky.
But now I'm crook'd
hunched over, bent, broken.
I hobble from-place-to. Place, time to time, face-to. Face
but. My wobble keeps me circling
'round a (single) specific case.
I, guess you could say I'm jaded,
and you're the one who jaded. Me
As usual, our parting imparts such sweet sorrow,
For, like Juliet, I would say goodnight 'til it be morrow.
But I must endure this separation
To ensure her captivation
And test the bonds of love she professes
Lest her attraction be merely a misrepresentation -
A false assignation of the four letter word she confesses.
It's been so long since I've seen the way light falls upon her tresses -
Burning orange and gold like the setting sun
But soft as the moon cradled in a clouded sky -
Or how her eyes shine
When they lock up with mine.
I can barely see her face
In my mind's eye;
Can barely taste her skin
Or smell her hair when I try
Drag me down, baby,
Faster, closer toward your effervescent kingdom.
You're love can surely save me
From the water's cruel severity
And Neptune's rude home.
Keep pulling me further, honey,
Farther from the lonely
Ship, travelling like the lost soul of some
Unloved sailor never protected by Love's lee.
I know I hasten this journey
Toward Pluto's eternal tomb
Yet still, pull me home, sweet mer-lady;
Cold Death cannot do more against me
Than a single night away from
Your soul-saving love and beauty.
Though I now see Charon's dinghy
And Acheron's pain-filled foam,
I'm glad you drew me into your sea.
Your love has surely saved me
I missed you tonight.
And I just wanted to let you know,
All I wanted was a simple hello.
I know we don't talk on the phone,
But I missed your voice.
To be honest, it's completely your choice,
But if you would have called me
I swear I would have answered.
I've told you I missed you before.
But never like this.
I want more than just a kiss,
more than just your lips,
Yes, even more than your hips!
I want your all.
And I wanted to let you know
That you are missed.
That's not really all but it's late tonight
And my only fear is that I'll say too much.
That I'll lay my soul so neatly
Upon the floor beneath your rugged boots,
So
love and Hate:
both camps collide
at the weather-worn gate -
"whosoever enters here
abandon your hope,
shed not a tear."
just angels fight
on Satan's side
with scales to weigh and wrongs to right -
"these men have sight
but cannot hide;
our just scales must weigh out right."
here in the end, His glory rendered:
from a rope
hang righteous suspended
by those who lost dear love's embrace,
the Devil and his sons,
an evil race.
after all what's left but Fear?
Hate prevails
and no one's near.
is there any reason
dear father shuns
his believers in this final season?
perhaps some high treason:
a heretic clergy or blasphemous
A derriere is a thing so fair by brooksbanister, literature
Literature
A derriere is a thing so fair
A derrière is a thing so fair!
Better than boobs and legs and hair,
it can be found nearly anywhere,
but one so plump I will not share.
A cheek and its pair
will answer my prayer
for an ass so bare
my jeans might tear.
Still, though my woman err,
I dare not sink into despair,
for if her hips look like a pear
I will have no care
whatsoever. I swear.
The muse is gone. She's chased away,
Gone away until the day
When time has passed and love is still.
Anything I say, I will;
And anything I do, I am.
Damn!
I just want her back, to be by my side,
To conquer each breaking tide.
But my heart despairs in wake of the flood
And I don't know again if we'll ever be blood.
A thrill shoots through my mind
And down my spine
And all I want to do is please you.
But how shall I do it?
Where shall my focus lie?
Maybe a soft kiss along your neck,
Or a whisper in your ear;
A simple caress along the hairline,
A loving touch on your knee
Telling you I'll always be here for you.
Perhaps tonight requires a more intimate touch;
We shall find what the darkness offers
The youth in our bodies.
I want to feel you shiver beneath my body,
Sway under my seductions.
I want to sip your love,
Slowly, purposefully, consciously.
Anything more would be too much.
I'm love-drunk, baby,
Your wine is potent.
Here I go again
Talking to my imaginary friend
Like it will...help?
Anything? Anybody? What can that old man do?
Oh well,
I guess it can't harm
My situation. No need for alarm,
People. I promise, I ain't crazy.
It's just that my grasp of the world is so damn hazy.
There's got to be more to life
Than work, sex, and survival,
Right? So I pray for a revival!
Not only in myself
But for you as well.
We're all in this together -
Meant to brave the stormy weather
Side by side, conquering each enervating tide.
So how can I not enlighten you?
Your burden is much too
Heavy now. But look, here is a lee
And the truth will certainly se
