First time I post any of my work, so please bare with me...

Adam-snake...

The snake keeps me wondering
As the darkness brings a man
Carnelian-stained cheeks
Now speaks for a voiceless void

Profound is his touch within me
His intravenous feeding -
inflicting salt upon my deepest wounds
Wounds made by my own hands...

Those same hands :
Guided and directed
By the somber light of his being
Knowing that where he leads them
They will find sin

Yet I strive for nothing more
But to make him speak
I am but a whimper away
From Eden...

Smother me, infant

Once birthed
I have perished among the sinister waves of my existence
To be loved as an infant –
Innocent, ever-changing
I would have surrendered my life to that feeling of contentment

“It was me in that womb!”
Oh red heaven return to me!
I was immaculate in scarlet
Dressed in the finest virtuousness

Smother me, infant…

That fateful night
When I begged you for love and you begged me for lust
Piercing heaven with the most excellent longing
Chaining me to the ground when all you show me is stars

Days later making me beg to be set free
Begged to be entered with one hand and released with the other
But bliss did not return to me
It was my first breath which revisited me…

The worthlessness, pulling me down now
The knowledge of deteriorating in a cracked skin –
A skin once delicate, precious, touched –
Is inconceivable…

Submitting to a moment of gratified desire
Unthinking that purity could be spent so easily
Smother me, reflected infant…

“It was me in that womb!”
Oh red heaven return to me!

that's genius

I really like the second one, really deep, dark, and tainted, reminds me of a reznor meets maynard. Really makes you think.

heard about your poetry from andrew (you were in his poetry email thingy)
i had to dig this thread out of the archives!
when are you posting some of your new work?

LOL i have no idea at this very moment. not much has inspired me as much as the events which i described in the first two. i have to feel 100% about writing something before i finally sit down and write it. i get so obsessed with it that its all i can think about and eventually i put my thoughts into words. i think that's the best kind of poetry. i'll be sure to post new poems as soon as i'm done with them (or maybe not lol).
thanks for reading

Behold the artist of words...the poet! I am captured by the intense emotion these words create taken away into a world where I feel what you my dear poet want me to feel. I am struck by how emotional this poem is when its focus is purely on physical acts...I wonder what inspired this?The profound way this poem communicates sexual desire conflicting with societal morals is also quite intruiging...Furthermore i might venture that a poem writin by such an obviously physical person of yourself that is focused perhaps more on your deeper emotional levels could be quite extraordinary.......I kiss the hand that writes words of beauty

i am most definitely inspired most by emotions evoked from physical pleasures and desires. thank you for that beautiful response azarael. i am inspired yet again.

this poem confused me a bit. but i'm thinking that's what you want the reader to feel? your reader is always very much involved in your poems. maybe you were confused when you wrote it?

Lol i was very confused when i wrote it... But you're absolutely right, i love pulling my reader into the poem completely. When i wrote twin flame lost my feelings towards someone was so fucking unexplainable i just had to get them out. I just picked up a pen and started writing and that's what came out. Thanx for the feedback gil
