    a crooked smile, a wicked
    halo hovers about the eyes,
    playful thoughts enter the mind,
    disclosing intent to commit crime.
    she was ticklish and mischief
    infiltrated my fingertips;
    they twitched, trembled
    to kick-off and commence,
    but she was forewarned,
    sheltering responsive regions.
    and she’d remain wary for a time,
    a timid animal afraid to approach
    any residue of male pheremones
    still suggesting aggression.
    but finally they’d fade,
    she’d feel comfortable
    and calm down.

    not anymore, now
    every signal is evaluated
    for lingering implication.
    a look that lasts too long
    blooms blushed cheeks,
    the pressure in an embrace
    is measured out, calculated
    and confuses to calamity.

    I was just sitting
    next to her, talking about
    walking the dog at the lake
    and I noticed that a tension
    existed between our bodies,
    how close our arms were together,
    if that space were closed they’d touch
    and I would never have imagined
    distances could be so dramatic,
    that if orchestrated to music,
    the crescendo of organs
    could make me uncomfortable.

    well done, so tangible and sensitive
    like describing the dance of two sides
    of a magnet trying to merge.

    after twenty years
    think i have it caught
    in a tight formula
    a mathematic fact
    fixed to the vertex
    of a triangle
    cos there's always
    another angle
    another angel
    in the passenger seat
    flipping through my cds
    hinting at her taste in music
    but really only saying
    shes a different face
    looking at me so hard
    the skin crawls.

    i gotta intercept intention
    i gotta reach out i gotta
    grab her by the hair
    by the belt
    i gotta
    get close
    get what? what is it
    i want? she puts her lips
    on my ear says
    it's here.

    shes drinking
    sex on the beach
    thinking she got me
    and i got too close
    got tied into her clothes
    and tossed into the backseat
    and what am i doing here?

    the whole things obtuse
    odd looking no matter
    how you look.
    shes holding me
    like the world doesnt exist
    acrylic fingernails digging
    scratching playfully
    but it hurts so bad.
    say her name and she
    runs her finger up
    my neck up my chin
    knows she got me.

    That first part is awesome, I could really connect with that. The rest was also good, but

    "cos there's always
    another angle
    another angel
    in the passenger seat
    flipping through my cds
    hinting at her taste in music
    but really only saying
    shes a different face
    looking at me so hard
    the skin crawls."

    really stood out for me. I think my fella needs to read this one (then again it'd probably make him agonise over things, and run away, so best not!)

    Like littleskinny said, this part was awesome, practically breathtaking. A very, very good poem.

    ^^thanks for the kind comments everyone! makes me happy that one was well received!

    a.
    abstract meaning falling apart
    and losing locks, it's getting clear,
    condensing in your room
    with you lost on the bed, lost
    in the glow-in-the-dark stars
    broadcast across the ceiling.
    you shiver, hold your breath,
    reflect the moment unimportant
    as reality toggles gearless and
    fatal errors hardwire the system.

    lethargy is loose drive
    driven into your timetable.
    it’s a deep desire to keep
    moments looping continually,
    but creeping out of this practice
    comes medusa's only daughter
    who, into mirrors looking,
    turns herself to stone, too afraid
    to step out and interact.

    b.
    abstract meaning
    piled into relationships
    is lost beneath satin sheets,
    in the dark, with pillows
    no comfort in the confusion.
    these lonely, passionless encounters
    raise phantoms from the lightning rod
    resting in your book of fears, so
    you back behind mental barriers
    set to contain oscillating terror.

    a mug of hot chocolate,
    a breath of fresh air,
    the viridity of real starlight
    script events into perspective:
    hooked by shallow hints
    promising more than one night,
    a rogue had you reeled again.

    no comfort indeed, just this blazing poetic passion.
    thank you for this.

    I like this - it's harsh but fair!

    I’ve been a watercolored collection
    soundtracked to fermented pleasures,
    alternating focus in binary attention.

    I’ve tied the cord around bedposts,
    around wrists, watching tendons extend
    to fervor’s ceiling and redlined rpm’s.

    I’ll apply the mystery masked illusion
    waltz this feather along those legs,
    blended with slick, icy cold contrails.

    Tonight, I venerate your sensual myths,
    the concealed realm of clouds and rain
    till now’s moment came, you’ve missed.

    Beautiful and sensual. Erotic and playful images gracefully painted. A pleasure to find this, after an intense day at work. Great stuff, here, fulmah.

    old, but newly revised

    east coast girl has angel wings on backwards
    that push air the wrong direction, that has her
    window shopping on the rich strip downtown,
    with gucci gossamer sequin swans hissing,
    spitting elite perspective concerning
    neglected social decorum.

    so she´s einstein operating within her dna,
    has debated with confucius on philosophy
    and if those diamonds are disconnected
    from chromosomes to hang around her neck,
    she just may eclipse inspection...

    a sabbatical from books and self improvement
    spent in downtown clubs on advertising
    till the boy came along, hat on backwards,
    with brilliant blue eyes that bought her
    with cheap words over bourbon.
    took a week to learn to feel a touch,
    to contain melt-down and notice
    how thin these walls were and
    why he talked so loud at night…

    aged three years that week, rearranged
    her angel wings to sooth predatory rage
    hot showers and soap can´t wash away.
    if freud were here, she´d ask him
    about ice cream with freezer burn,
    a full supply of soda,
    the trash full of beer cans
    and the boy behind it and what gives
    him rights to stories about her;
    but then she realizes.

    stunning imagery flowing with character; touched with interactive change.
    this was my favorite line... gucci gossamer sequin swans hissing, what an awesome description.

    She was upset, confused
    intoxicated on I don’t remember
    a beer of some type, I imagine,
    so she stayed the night
    I had extra blankets,
    an empty couch, but she
    wanted the empty space
    on the bed next to me
    and I wasn’t going to disagree,
    my ankles were already tied
    too far into wanting.

    so there she was,
    head on a pillow,
    eyes opening, cued
    to mirror my own peeks.
    it felt like all of innocence
    found a home right there,
    it made me catch my breath
    and push a lone strand of hair
    out of her face, behind her ear
    and what was it that she said?
    I never can recall (....what am I going to do with you...)
    but I went cold,
    said we should take it slow
    but then we started...
    and…
