Complicated Rhythm

Peter Gabriel - Only Us

The gypsy moon dances
In
Complicated Rhythm
Like
Disjointed heartbeats
Keeping time
Always
Despite the discordant distance
As close as
Next to each other
Or as far as
The moon

Complicated Rhythm
The simple beauty
Diminutive peaks formed
At the corner of her smile
The delicate boundary
The dancing reveal
Of the supple curve
On the back of her thigh
Rising high
Flesh soft firm
That revealed other supple secrets
Higher
Where
Simmering heat built
Contagious energy erupted
From lips burning
Hips turning
In dancing circles slow turn
As he pulled her close
The knowing gypsy smiles

Complicated Rhythm
He thought of her
The way she walked and talked and loved
The way she told him things that seemed true
But were not
Her body could never lie
For he knew
Her mask was ungainly
So was his
He longed to smash the porcelain prisions
Ceramic cages separating
The contact
The Complicated
Rhythm
Revealed
Would seamlessly meld
In beat laden beauty

My gypsy moon

Play it again

Joe Jackson Slow Song

Play it again.

A slow song

Maybe
The masks
The fear
The points that draw us near
As fast
As they pull apart
Will be gone
Just for a moment
Just for a pause
I know you can't stay
Afraid you might say
The truth
It could slip out
So well hidden
Mating underbrush
In our secret garden
Fiction is the lie
That reveals the truth
Relity obscures

For at least there
I can stroke your hair
Draw my finger
Across your cheek
Stare
Into your almond eyes
To be
Complete
Just for a moment
But the reality
I see
That which obscures
And
Like a fool
A madman
I loved you
For yourself
Despite yourself
But mostly
Your
True
Self
Truly
So
In the end
I loved her
Bumbling
Striving
Perhaps awkward
But forever earnest
And sometimes

Sometimes

---I think

She loved me

Play it again.

Pretty Kitty

Night fell
On the day
Where the dead
Walk among us

And that is when
In
Defiance
She entered
My pretty kitty

Sleek stride stole
the air from the room
Sly smile dripped delight
Her lips leaked passion
Skin burning savage
Heated life erupted from her skin
Clad in outfit clung
Like a second skin
Mirroring her movements
Revealing enough
To inflame imagination
A beckoning invite
To gaze
To drink from
The loving cup
My pretty kitty
My hand slipped
Around her waist
So thin
So sleek
So svelte
So
Smoldering
in passion
Her sly smile
As she tilts her head
Is the momentary hold
Before both are consumed
With the inferno of the kiss
I long to hear
My pretty kitty
