Poetry: Red once Blue

Poem: Red once Blue

by Liam

I fell in love the other day,

I don’t know why.

I’m not quite sure of what to say.

We chatted as it happens all a while.

We laughed, smiled,

The simple act,

The fact of having

Recognized that underlying.

Our conversations flow

Between our eyes,

Beneath a glance or two,

A bright, brilliant ribbon of light began to grow,

Swirled freely around my heart.

Magnificence cast its spell,

I surrendered to the art,

To the bewilderment of you.

Once Red, now turns to Blue.

This vibrance felt in me, flows from where?

Is this how love happens to start?

Afar out there beyond the dark,

You are now alive in me, a spark,

Beating, thudding irregularly across my breast,

Excitement in a pearl,

A home open to the few,

Is now yours to touch,

Enriching me; grace means so much.

Sweet smiles cross the night,

To turn in me this living key around, around, around.

Treasure is this place within me found,

Shines blue, its gorgeous light,

To dazzle us; our beating hearts,

Is this right? Yet could be wrong?

Is this life in motion with a song?

It is new.

Yes! lifelong I’ve listened,

Waiting for this harmony, a symphony in blue,

Now turns again to Red in me,

To Red in you.

What does your ideal home look like?

My ideal home is the one in which I live. This home has no windows or doors, no kitchen nor living room, but it does have a heart which fills me with joy every day. This home has two strong eyes which see the world in all it’s magnificent, enabling me to find whatever it is that I need or I seek. my home is also equipped for travel with a strong, healthy body, which takes me to Beaches, mountain tops, through forests and through hills. But more than anything my home has a place where I go to rest and it’s in this quietude at all else finds its meaning, its richness and its joy. Liam.

Deceit

Poem: Deceit

by Liam

When ever you should,

Hold my gaze with a look.

Touch my face with a whisper.

Pulse my heart with your anatomy.

Do it! Do it!

Damn…..

Just do it to me.

I’ll take the hurt of your deception.

Knowing it’s his bed you’ll be in tonight.

It’s my heart that’s pulsing through your dreams though.

This blood filled chalice from which the sip of love is taken.

This heart cracked goblet from which the wisps of truth evaporate.

Where then is this really happening?

What is the real you truly doing?

Why do you do this to me?

When will I stop allowing you too and see?

Me in you, is sumptuous .

Me to you is exquisite,

in flavours exotic and wild.

Erratic moments of passion,

Ivey lush green opulence is the jungle of this deceit.

Your body of action, in hindsight nothing but desert.

Barren and sandy, blowing dust in place of kisses.

A million stings, each grain flung by the Sirocco of your love.

Alone, tangled in the undergrowth of emotion.

Warm night air caresses these limbs, not you.

It’s you I feel though.

In spite of the 1000 miles between our beds.

Longing for the threads

To weave this distance together.

To spin me again into a web.

To weave me again into your head.

Why Blog?

Why do you blog?

Blogs can serve various purposes, such as sharing knowledge, promoting products or services, or simply as a creative outlet mine being poetry.

My poetic form is an artistic expression that uses language to evoke emotions, create imagery, and convey ideas in a unique and often structured manner. It is characterized by the use of carefully chosen words, rhythm, rhyme, and literary devices like metaphors, similes, and symbolism.

My poems often explores themes of love, nature, human experiences, and abstract concepts. It can take many forms, including sonnets.

Poetry has been a vital part of literature and culture throughout history, offering a means to capture the beauty and complexity of human emotions and experiences.

Us Friends

Poetry: Us Friends

by Liam

In language, ethereal as a whispered kiss,

Friends, dear companions, we reminisce.

Each biography a fine piece of art,

We orbit the globe, where these friendships did start.

Once youthful vessels, bodies defying the years,

In our hearts, sweet this spirit perseveres.

A bond of camaraderie, we still do confide,

Till eternity beckons, when our paths sadly divide.

Let us dwell in this instant, of a tapestry spun,

Memories interwoven, laughter and fun.

Raise high the goblet, let jubilations flow,

To memories embraced, and those yet to bestow.

To the future dawn, yet unwritten we will go,

Always, as friends as this ode does propose.

Poetry: Shit Luck Dude

Poem: Shitluck Dude

by Liam

He kicked the dirt with his boot heel high,

Jacket dusty, jeans ripped at the thigh.

Tongue cracked and dry, by nicotine and Jack D.

A night at the table with the cards and McFee.

Ace of Spades, Queen of Hearts,

Colors, numbers, royalty, cards.

The poker made broker the longer night,

McFee had the hand, in the other a knife.

Dude, hit the shit at a quarter to four,

The cards were down, the money no more.

Jack D was dry, Lucky’s gone up in smoke.

He spat on the floor, no one laughed at the joke.

A fist cracked his jaw, the blade sliced into his thigh.

He butted McFee, blood burst at the eye.

Kicked in his groin, the poor bastard screamed.

Game was now over, Lucky he seemed.

Then he grabbed the bucks,

Glass crashed to the floor.

Notes flew through the room,

Stumbled, while running out into the gloom.

The tale’s not over, the story not done.

Shitluck dude had had his fun,

Then turning round with a bloodshot eye,

The barrels blasted and Shitluck cried!

Spun to the floor, shoulder spurting red blood.

Pain was crazy as he chewed the mud.

Then twisting his head, a glint still in his eye,

He cracked a smile, before he died.
