tonight i can draw the most beautiful words

My new blog, tonight i can draw the most beautiful words, is up. I have moved all of the painting posts there so you can read here and look at paintings there...

porcelain reflecting

my god the heat destroys me
i am rendered
porcelain
momentarily collapsing
a puddle still
reflecting
your image
i'm fading
if you're fading
so just stay a little longer
starling
hold your wings still
flutter for a while longer
you're moving so fast
i can't keep up

ethereal steel

my love is ethereal
it is warm steel
a glowing ember
it is
what you need
it is the silent thunder of molecules
rushing to fill your void
it is icy blue geranium petals
bathed in sun

cont...

molasses

just like molasses
my body yearns
for you
it is,
as inescapable
as the coming of the tides
pulled by the moon
to the
lonely
shore
i am so helpless
and the moon is so
big
and you are so
deep

the sun tells me secrets

sometimes i am enamored
by such a simple pleasure
infatuated really

with colors and
texture
with sounds and
touch

what's the difference really?

for instance,
your laughter bubbles through my veins,
pleasure rings in my brain,
orchestral sparks of light
glimmer from my fingertips;

amuse me
dear
delight me

i can smell your
happiness
i can find it

why can't we
why shouldn't we

share in my ecstasy
feel my happiness
just stay with me for a second
you'll hear the sun

i promise

it beams joy constantly
it tells me so many secrets

i am ambrosial

i heard a secret today
in that carafe we filled with wine
afterwards
my words
were colored garnet
but they sounded so beautiful

i whispered them in your ear
so you could see their hue

it was
rosemary tinted with rosé
it was
straw colored honey hinted with lemon

we were ambrosial
we were intoxicated with ourselves

you were snow covered and
blushing pink

i was endowed
with a gold framed silhouette

confident my warmth would suffice

travelling poppies

i'm with you right now
not here,
in that crevasse
we're in spring
we're fields of poppy
we're beautifully intoxicated
and so
my mind is numb
travelling painlessly
oh my god,
lightness is so
meaningless
weighty without you

i'm warm

i found your love for me
it was waiting in the other room
so warm and wanting
wanted
let's go sleep in there tonight
i can take a dip in the cool banks of your oceanic eyes
and bring you warmth


did you know
mine is endless
it is a bounty of meringue
it is jasmine oil
burning
liquid smoke
filling
my lungs with a sweet tobacco aroma
it seeps from my pores
it is a lemon in the late summer
oil distilling, seeping through
zested peel


i want to share it with you

my brain beats, syncopated

i put on my jeans this morning
an innocent act
a guilty one
denim's memory holds
shape/
lust/
caution...
my comfort makes me
uncomfortable


(should)


I stop
but my brain goes on
syncopated
not yet

dusk is so bright

i kissed you tonight,

in the dusk of the lily scented evening

you on your toes

with surrender on your face

i watch my actions from a distance

they are now yours more than mine...

we're drunk,

with satisfaction

we're dust,

twisting together

in a whirlwinding gust of chance and

whatever

i am a tremendous ship,

cool steel colliding

in a boundless ocean of brackish lust

My first recollection of writing...

love devours me

my body thirsts,

lips dripping with the taste of

honey

they extinguish my

craving
