LIKE SPILLED BREW
LIKE SPILLED BREW
S.JENSEN ©2018
SO VERY DEEP ALIVE
WITH RICH AND EXQUISITELY LONG
DARK LASHES
WENT A SHADE PALER
BEEN SLEEPING NAKED
IN THE DRIPPING HEAT
THE BATTLE SCARS
WORN UPON THE SHOULDERS
VISIBLE YET NO LONGER
ALARMING
FINE FLURRY OF FRECKLES
IRISH BLOOD AND NORSE NAMED
A FORCE NO ONE SHOULD
WANT TO RECKON WITH
SET OUT THE GOLDEN CHALICE
DRINK THE COLD MEAD
TO TAME THE TRENCHES
OF HUNGER
TOSSING A LOCK OF
PALE ASHEN GOLD HAIR
TO THE SIDE
AS AGE HAS THINNED IT
AND OH SO WALKED
TEMPTATION THE STRANGE
TREMOR FELL UPON HER
OH TROUBLE ALWAYS BREWS
FROM BLOOD SPOKEN WORDS
SHEER EXHAUSTION
TO RETREAT TO BE PRIVATE
IN THE FUTURE
THE FINAL STRAW
NO WORDS TO BE SAID
IGNORING HER SHRIEK
OF RAGE
FEW FEET OF HALLWAY
OH SO EXPECTED
TO JUST TOLERATE
THE BEHAVIOR
TO ENRAGE
EVER SO PATIENT
ITS JUST NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED
DANGEROUS IN HER PASSION
FINGERS FLEXED AND UNFLEXED
THE MOMENT HAS COME
VIOLET EYES AND EBONY MASS
IN A HANDFUL OF HAIR
GENTLE TUG FOR THE SO CALLED
FAKE IS DEEP DESIRE
THE LONE WOLF
INCREDIBLE INSAITABLE PULSE
DRIVES THIS HEART
SHE TURNED QUICKLY TO STAND
BEHIND THE DOOR NEAR THE
GREAT BED THIS WARRIOR OF LOVE
WILL NOT BE SILENCED
INTO THE BREAKING OF DAWN
TO MEET THOSE FIERY EYES
GAZING INTO THESE OCEAN BLUES
WRAPPED UP IN A LOOSE SHEET
SPREAD THE SUN HIGH IN
THE HEAVENS WHERE SHIPS
SAIL OUT FOR PINK-STREAKED
HORIZONS.
CREATE A BREATHLESSNESS
IN MY KNOTTED THROAT
CONTINUE TO SHIVER
A HEAT SPREAD OUTWARD
THROUGH OUT TO KNOW
NO MATTER WHAT SENSE
OF VICTORY TO BE HAD
SPINNED RIGHT AROUND
IN WAVES OF SHIVERS
IN JUST ONE SIMPLE KISS
VOICE SO RAW
SO CLEAR
WILL ALWAYS DEFY
THESE SENSES TO BE
IN THOSE EYES
OVER THIS FACE
THIS HEART
AND THIS SOUL
ENTIRELY FOREVER MORE
A CHALLENGE
LOST IN A LOVE
NOT HERE OR THERE
BUT SO BEYOND ANY
RIGHT OR WRONG
ITS EVERYTHING SIMPLY
EVERYTHING
TO FEEL
TO BE
TO KNOW
IT RESTS ON THIS
THOUGHT
FOREVER AND EVER YOURS.
