borne crest
above the sigh
dark softness

the dew plains
the dark nostril
dare

catch me
the darkening
a tinted stare

crescent cascade
oceans
of a crush

oil me up
this jacked
up phase
creaking
in the leatherette
break in

pristine mint
is scarred
with mottled
histories

annointed
at the ankle
curvatures

shadows
capture
beneath
the light

candy rouge
spearmint
glean

nightscape
of jets
and plant
menage of
treatise
the shifts
we break

crush
courtesan
silk single
sleeper

and a wolf
moon
worries sheep
the sharpened
stars
like crooked
teeth

mobile words
dangle
from above
tickling
noggins thick

derring-do
pouncing wit
quick shots
appearing
disappearing
leaving me
drooling of envy
and "Huh"?!

but I know,
though I may not always understand,
you da Man!

you pour words,
stir them up, with personal spice,
and serve them up warm, exotic, and soothing

delectables
to be savored slowly
with relish

I do also enjoy the puzzlement, and wonder of these less obvious, opaque (only to me) pieces.

Your imagery is astounding! I'd love to spend a day inside your mind. Your words run with smooth fluid creativity.
I imagine poetry comes easy to you. It has such a lovely feel about it. There are so many lovely phrases and stanzas that I can't chose any one above the other.

Lovely to read and savour!

Love Mand xxxx

says a day
I say a fortnight i
n your mind will be less
can the minimum tyme you tell
or should i continue to guess

loved
