naked angel
I don’t want to be formally introduced,
nor even talk to you.
I want to steal you, pick you up & carry you to the
nearest bed chamber; lock the door & eat the key.
keep you prisoner for merely a thousand millennia –
by then I’ll have had my fill of you.
my passion has always been a furnace in my belly.
soldier of deviance, without honor or regret,
I have lusted after women: virgins & whores,
to be used & abandoned.
and I remember not one face or one name.
I see you in the unobtainable distance, & you
transform the flame inside me to an inferno –
I soar like a comic book hero,
sun garbed creature, beyond Icarus.
were you deployed here by heaven, for a sacred purpose?
send them your resignation, you won’t be returning.
I will burn away your wings, so those
gracious feathers will not conceal your sex.
we will make our kingdom in an ivory tower;
I will nurture myself by your touch & your kiss.
I will guard the skies when you sleep,
and if you dream, I will be there.
I write poetry out of loneliness –
I write so that you will find me…

The pic and poem go well with each other, a picture of seductive desire, of man as devil and woman as angel.

Your variations with structures, words and images you convey with all your poetry are superb. This piece is just an example of your soulful gift. Bleed that passion brother!

I love your poems, John, and I think
this I like most. An angelic write for an
angelic woman, full of desire and passion
and ... tender love.

The Animal in lust. The lust in devotion. The devotion in love. The love in expression. Thank you John. .

I just have to say HOLY FUCK! John.
I was so struck by the second sentence, first stanza that I read the rest without seeing your words...four times
Finally, I'm breathing again. Relax, you won't be on the hook for my expiration today.

I am at a loss for words at the moment... the only thing that comes to mind is if you kiss her mind the her body will follow...
