Lust Lingered In Living

Lust lingered in living

eternally delivered in aptitudes

Longitudes versus latitudes

A vice in thy attitude

i desired more

and lived a decade in disguise

demoralized

demonstrating desolate consecrations

lacking poise in thy eyes

a widower of time

i played the lire in thy mind

dipped in tattered dreams

mixed with mead & mindless vines

carrying thorn covered lilies through thy spine

whisperless & winded

a willow weeping craddled in the pine

georgia streets with busy beasts

suckling at armoured hearts

christened consorts with letter A's on their doors

and i, burdened & beguiled

sat tidy in thine sky

a chaotic flounder in the night

swimming endlessly through scattered stars

brightened flashes pouring into the grinds

of hollow minds chasing paper in pampered designs

blinding dazzling truths with their petty crimes

turning cheeks to the real goodbyes of their golden times

dripping in desire of a forgotten past line

that freed hearts by remembrance

inclined to dance in decadence

a dawn of daylilies blooming blatantly

and nearly blasphemously

in its efforts to shine & shout

without an ounce of doubt

that it is indeed

the plea & the pardon

of hard times

a justice in joust

no finer growth pronounced

by the floral mountain of white & delight

the act of purity hath taken flight

when desire deepens to duty

and truth takes true form

of a fearless love

a woman's womb

the truest of blooms

pours inward a birth of solitude.
