COLOURFUL LAMENT
COLOURFUL LAMENT
I combed cool waters of your
baby blue crystalline Jewel as you
waded waterfall waves washing
my stellar rainbow rays
Arching it melted into the warm
womb of transducing tangoing Earth
Her Violet Flame devoured us both
as nectared dewdrops to fuel the fire
our soma swirling into ecstatic orange
oxytocined crane flowers whispering
wisdoms to a hundred yellow
butterflies fluttering and flirting
They circled a sunken Atlantean apex
atop where you ruled anew with
Baconian brown locks surrounded by
sirens serving savoury silver sardines
oolite oyster shells sang solos as dolphins
dived into divas oceanic mouthed
In Ancient Egypt you followed my runcinate
rulings or indigo sorrow siglums, sighing
becoming slimmed seeker who served
Thoth well whilst wreathing my wounded
worthiness and fallow fallopian tubes
at pyramidal plumed midnight hour
In our graped Grecian lifetime you draped
alabaster urns lighting my marble mantelpiece
I watched breath enter your nebulae nostrils
as you crafted provincial proverbs
then instructed slaves to whiten your garb
with lemons from our sculpted garden
On lavender Celtic hills we exchanged kilts
not knowing whose waist was whose
barefoot our figs and flutes flaunted
sleek sharp sapphire studded swords
dancing the necessary wild wars
rune stones becoming menhir mosaics
Who remembered and who forgot
where in ether our nestling niche napped
as games of betrayal, fear or doubt
doubled into involuting circles and spirals
each tried to neck THE VOID as naked
excuse for not excavating heaving Heart
How much escaping, escapades,
evolutionary clocks cloak our cusps
or cues or custard synchronicities
how many summer summit starlings
must seek to sing of sorrow or of
wolves, withering willows, watermelons
on this Planet of coloured curriculums
holding dear our distinctive designs
where lacy lament is but
another artful aperture into Space
I seek not to know !
