Obsidian strands of sleek velvet fall
and float over soft satin cheeks.
Voluptuous curves of crescent moons rest and rise into soft slender feet.
Symmetrical whirls of white ivory blend
and blow within succulent breasts.
Venusian sands of sinking bars curve
and cave into soft slender wrists.
Celestial twirls of twilight storms glare
and glaze over ebony eyes.
Terrestrial hills of holy grounds soothe
and seethe under silky skin thighs.
Neptunian swells of sweeping streams flood
and flow over sinuous hips.
Vermillion flares of flaming rocks melt
and mold into smoldering lips.
Matthew Kaiser
Tonight I can see the white lights of the cars coast over the overpass in the silhouette of the city lights. Lying across my front porch swing with a cup of caffeinated tea, I ponder the great mysteries of the universe. My heart rate is falling back into the Earth's atmosphere, but the danger of a panic-induced heart attack is still too great. Somewhere between the arguments with my Southern Baptist suitemates and bisexual roommate, I lost all belief in God and the ability to sleep. But I am a very patient man when it comes to the finer things in life. I can still remember her smile. An ocean of fears that I might never wake again rises up to put a stranglehold on my sanity, but I can hear her voice now and it soothes me. I can close my eyes now and hear her call my name from the other side of consciousness.
That's a poem I wrote for a girl I met once upon a time. Send me an E-mail and let me know what you think.
