A day plus a day plus infinity.
Happiness, bliss, one day
rolls from joy to joy, merrily.

Forever.
But longing, ingratitude, spite -
these vampiric voices
bleed out the happy night.

Forever.
An infinity of pleasure,
An eternity of horror,
Which do you choose?

Forever.
The mind’s eye sees
the illusions it creates,
your view of eternity.

words sit
like bricks
with your name,
a thick weight
dragging thought
to you.
I don’t speak
the dreams
my tongue seeks
to scream.

On the tip of my tongue
would be,
could be,
if need
I should say
what I pray
were real,
instead of fantasy.

To touch lips to lips
(both high and low)
caress so slow
from thighs to hips.
Fingers,
eyes,
linger
nigh your heart
until it starts
away at the drama of parting.

On the tip of my tongue,
but still unsung
words wither,
fantasy dithers.
Too elusive,
a shadow reclusive
I chase with the murmuring
slumbering, senseless
tip of my tongue.

Tolman http://www.darnuthkeep.com/2011/01/27/illusions-of-desire-a-poem-by-kelly-d-tolman/ http://www.darnuthkeep.com/2011/01/27/illusions-of-desire-a-poem-by-kelly-d-tolman/#comments Thu, 27 Jan 2011 15:57:59 +0000 admin http://www.darnuthkeep.com/?p=911 Your image rests
Heavy.

Covering my
Thoughts.

A blanket of
Lead.

Like those that ebay sells
To desperate parents
Of wild autistic kids.

The longing bites
Deep.

I crave your eyes,
Skin,

Lips, hips, hair, hands;
You.

An ocean full of bytes
joins us without joining,
for one rushed moment.

Then longing takes
Me

To visit your
Ghost,

Waiting in a
Dream.

I wake and I see you;
I sleep and I feel you.
Illusions of desire.

Delicate, soft silk petals that each lay
Open and fresh amid brighter flowers.
Each a smile, caress, or slow passionate hour.
A second rose mixt with rougher flowers
No less perfect, with other soft powers,
Sits bruised and torn with petals worn and rude.
I lift, and her sharp thorns open hot blood
To run freely from heart to hand. It gnashes,
pricks, resists, is lifted up biting harsh,
Until I place it lovingly beside
Her sister, queen of majesty betimes.

Twin roses, Queens of my heart, stand entwined.
Their purposes, passions, desires, aligned.
