Yearning

Yearning

A Poem by Alpris

I hear the blackbirds
call for their mother

let it flow in the air,
not dry, dead, a lifeless fanfare;
like the caramel-kissed leaves
that wail beneath my feet
crunch, crunch; 
crackle in a bunch.


Let me taste the smoke in the atmosphere
forget its evil source
that slaughters life...
life so nectarous... is it worth it really
when fire burns what was life
and turns it fragile, grey, easily dismemberable


On my tongue I taste
the freckles of hope
a pin cushion's dream, prickles seduced
like the blades of grass
that cut through the dirt;
yet I yearn...
there is nothing like
her soft, sweet scented...

wet
against hard, rainfall against 
solid erect mountain
gushing wet, white submission
down a crooked waterfall



Let me see her,
the source of a toffee seized glow
a mid-Autumn's glow
with the tinge
of a rose-ridden sexy flow

"Hello," she says
a Magnolia's perfect blossom
Beige, pink, passionate plush
as I surrender

and petals fall.
