Carnal Carnival~

~trippy trips through layers of primal baklavah~ ;)~

Lightningbug, who decided out of blue to be spun of honey,

for his sugar moth

lit in a vat of cotton candy and raspberry crème

and fulfilled the summer cheeks

of a chubby dream licking the colors

from the skye

 

a woman, who loved a man who'd never really understand her brand of love

well, she came out of her daydreams by the candy stand

and dipped her fingers into ambrosia

 

funhouse lights came on

a funnel cake vendor opened his palm

for her tongue to slick across

powdered sugar

he closed her in his fist

just like that

she laughed inside his life line

cut his breath in half

with an inside out kiss

passionate enough to crush his bones to white ash

 

she blossomed above the tents like a rose  

an Arabian bloom

of elusive blue

she grabbed a trellis of golden hair

flung her acrobatic body

into the arms of a man

caught

unexpected on a high wire

her lips finding

those sweet hollows between his belly and hip bones

two lives entangled on pure sex

and nothing more

plummeting into the arena

to land on the strong back of a caramel stallion

 

they rode off into the night

past the arcades drenched in the blood of carnival

ripped past fabrics of preconceived beliefs

in love

manifested

in the body of a laughing plastic cat

(made in China stuck on its hollow butt)

which the woman snatched from the hands of a little boy

saying "Be free, express yourself, vouge!"

and tossed it away

up, into the laughing mouth of the full moon above

as she laid her white marble cheek

into the strong back of the man

who took her for a carnal ride through New Orleans

up into the Eucharist of a different taste

where they reclined back into each others bones

in a boat made of Elysian dreams

through a swamp

 

alligator came up to take a peek at all the moaning and sighing going on

in the frolicking boat

 

a heron leapt from the bole of a bone tree

landed on his snout

"Have a sense of decency for Christ’s sake, you perv."

he said to the alligator

who blushed vermillion

and sank back into the undulating waters of the swamp

 

The man came up for air from her red mouth

"For you I'll make an exception.  But only because you're so you."

and his blue eyes laughed

with the purr giggle from her throat

as she sucked him back into her body with a kiss

through her throat

into her cheeks

into her wondrous carnival of mind

Love this.... Reminds me of a song, perhaps Bob Dylan would sing...Played in only two chords...nice work, Moon Goddess.

"in the body of a laughing plastic cat (made in China)
the woman snatched from the hands of a little boy
and tossed into the laughing mouth of the full moon above
as she laid her white marble cheek into the strong back of the man"

Play it using all minor chords....:-)

enjoyed this.......ice

The first two stanzas remind me of my inside out dreams, surreal, but honest. I adore how you can bend a word to form a sequential psychedelic ride with such ease; and great depth in meaning. If I understand you, does that make me crazy? Wait... don't answer that! =)

this was an amazing journey! and the laugh was never far away. :) beautifully written, freely expressed and different from your past work. love. :)

"cut his breath in half
with an inside out kiss
passionate enough to crush his bones to white ash"

[Kesha]

[Dream Weaver]

It seems to me I've heard this story some where before ;)

[alan peter kelly]

literary atheleticism....much much more than a lick across a sweaty palm...

[Robin]

i love your sensate mind . . . your magic is in creating this fun atmosphere , energetic and alive ~

[dovetailer]

i love this one...I've read it before and I still love it...

[Brad]

well thank gad there were no clowns within this carnivorous carnival...or i'd be wetting myself with fear...

the thing i like about your "tales" when told like this, is you spin a miraculous web of words and then interrupt it with "have a sense of decency for christ's sake, you perv!"...the reader flows into something they could take so serious and then SLAP, get back into reality, man!
