Damn you!!!
One of my favorite poems is called "The Wild Ass" by Alys Cusak (aka) Aleister Crowley.
Here are a few snippets from that poem:
Faintly and feebly murmuring
I uttered the mysterious runes,
And bade my body's sleekness sing
Silky, satanic, subtle tunes.
Was he not holy? Milk of moons
Were not so pallid as his cheek,
And roses of a million Junes
His mouth left livid. So I seek
In all God's seas a tiny creek
Wherein to moor my shallop. Nay!
He is a mountain, chill with bleak
Stark winds of innocence astray!
The fearful passion sweeps me away.
So with a passionate thrill of fear
I creep --- like shadows across Day!
Like Winter on the expended year! --
From those cold feet, a frozen meer,
To those cold knees, a lost lagoon,
To that wild woodland, strangely near
To the lone tower that tops the moon!
Verily and Amen! Unhewn
The great grim forest menaces.
What gardener may dare to prune
Those woods to build me palaces?
I held him holy. Holier both
Than aught the bearers of the bier,
Thoum-aesh-neith and Auramoth,
Saw in the hiding-house of fear.
The sorceries that span the sphere,
The spells that harness star and sun,
I whispered in his siren ear ---
Once, twice, and thrice for every one!
Once, twice, and thrice --- the boon's begun!
With four and five and six it stirs:
With seven the druid dance is done,
And Death drives home his silver spurs!
Then --- the last leap. What crowning curse
Can bid that cup of curses brim?
How may God's maniac ministers
Lash the last languor out of Him?
And a few of my own poems;
Souls in Darkness
Our souls call out to each other, from a time long
past. My subtle words call out to you in a passionate
whisper and kiss.
My shadow caresses you with a gentle breeze that
embraces you in the darkness
I touch the very essence ov your soul
Your dream is my dream
I hold you tight in my thoughts
You are never alone
One day soon my lovely Stars
A Dream From Afar
On the breath of the wind
From the grip of the stars
You flew into my life
Like a dream from afar
In the depths of my darkness
Your heart bled fluid light
A gentle voice reached out
And held me all through the night
My soul has been warmed
By the fire in your eyes
In my dreams we are one
And our love never dies
I never thought I'd find a heart
So beautiful and true
I never knew a dream so sweet
Until that dream was you.
Let`s deem this day officially as the day of poetic verses.
