A quaint and curious lore

A midnight dreary
Weak and weary
A quaint and curious lore
Nearly napping
There came a tapping
Rapping at my door
 
The silken rustling of purple curtain
terrors felt before
Still the beating heart, I stood
Some visitor at my door
 
Into darkness peering
I stood there fearing
Dreams no mortal dream before
Silence unbroken Stillness no token
The whispered word, “Lenore?”
 
The chamber turning, within me burning
A tapping louder than before
“surely,” said I
My heart be still
“Tis the wind and nothing more.”
 
 
 
* harvested from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe for the blackout poetry competition

Found words in (her) pleasure - blackout poem

 
There’s just something  
         perfect.  
         beautiful.  
         life-giving.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
       about.  
                                  you  
 
 
 
 
I’m willing  
 
                      to do it right.  
 
 
 
 
 
   your lips  
 
 
 
 
 
    kiss me    
                    
 
          tongue  
 
Artful  
Purposeful  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I  
 
 
 
 
a   m  
 
 
  vulnerable  
 
 
                          your soft  
                               lips  
 
 
   an aphrodisiac.  
I can’t get enough.  
 
 
 
 
                                        your  
                                   mouth  
 
 
 
 
           caressing  
 
 
My  
     skin.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’m  
    committed  
           baby  
 
 
 
I need you.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                             my lover  
Don’t hold back  
I will not  
 
 
 
 
You’re        so close  
                                            to  
                           m  e  
 
   I  
 
 
   can’t hold back anymore.  
 
I  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
love  
You  
 
 
 
 
     we  
              relax  
 
 
  I peer lovingly    
At  
     you  
 
 
Enjoying  
                              you.  
 
I  
 
 smile  
 
 
 
 
Surprised at what I’m doing.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
you        open yourself  
Inviting me  
Deep inside  
 
 
  my love  
How can I resist

random musings...echo

      beyond     clouds
    experience
Heaven's
                  
                     vibrations
Remember        
                     sojourning spirits
Fingerprinting
              infinite variations
Plucking    string theories
Make
     chances
            change..
     through             spells..
Truth hammers                 the continuum
    language             awaits..
Hidden
      think..     flow
             translate into scripture
                 distant       ..
          movement
                 of the dead
       upon the soul
Rendering
               universe
        purgatorial    
Pray

Chant
                
Channel         higher perception
Create your own      
           DNA..
Do
Not
Acquiesce
To             a lesser god
Playing recklessly with            
Love    the missing element
Among            alchemists
Watch karma           copulate
Spilling          consequences in
            aftermaths
Death is                        
Playing a        practical joke
          
    always        
Somewhere out there
        might be      
   your existence
Did you learn          yet?

Drowning
 
            Pain
 
                Vermin
 
Stench of mistakes
 
                 Illusions and delusions
 
Fear and self-loathing
 
                   Just muttering and worrying
 
I don’t die
 
                Regretting everything

That's My Day

Get up in the morning
The alarm goes off
Eyes open  
To catch up to my mind
  
City has gone wild
Armed with light
There are times
I trudge right through
 
Perfect target
Snatch, cut, or shoot
Walk from the train
Back through the door
That's my day
