Feathered Thought

Tranquil thoughts
breathing
of slow kissed sights
comforted
in expelling this light
languorous trembled gaze

A mask promising nothing
yet yearning to taste
now pushed aside

Risking this pull
stakes everything

Claims made
forever washing
though tears of ecstasy
now rolling free of
ducted bliss
trailed warmth of
cored beings
exquisite dripping
yets

Serenades of wanting
traveling through blood
as feather breathes
brushed lightness
thieves strength
floating in
washes of joyed right

Unaltered and bare
lured to charm
unhooked to potent need
she is lost

Silkily softness crushed in satin
drawn to slither tight
set free to embrace
crystal screams
shattered
in feathers graced might

Masked
to be nothing
revealed  
in breathlessness

I was feeling rather angry, indignant and unsettled when I started reading your poem. Now I am at peace with your beautiful graceful imagery and message. Thank you for unruffling my feathers! Love, Cat

Cat my Darling friend ...

I am so glad you found a little peace in this write for I found peace writing it , is was a slow easy piece that flowed out , the walls have been let down and I am letting the flow take me where it will now. I had a message today , someone said that if they want to relax they read my fantasy work or these poems , And I think that he had a point , I write these to bring myself to peace and in doing so bring everyone else with me ... relaxation poetry ? is there such a thing ? I guess there is but there isnt an actual catagory or is there ? lmao who knows I am flying the docters gave me sum stuff and its making my head spin will get back to you on that one I shall have a peruse round the net ... when I am more myself LOL ... Biggest hugs Jayne Love you , you are my favourite witch you know lol
