Creation
By Andrew Badger
Slow motion memories
captured in time-lapse
cinema
twirl like misplaced
dervishes in steamy
dreams
by morning every
sensual detail
forgotten
lost in twisted knotted
malodorous
sheets.
Even daytime
reveries host
spinning
prayer-wheel flashes
of vague scenes
strobing
distorted images
of ancient kin and
friends
coiled in random
acts and times and
vistas.
But at the touch
of lover’s hands
the sound of amorous
laughter
senses open to the
sun-lit day and aromas
drift by on morning
breezes
that heal the soul
restore the tempo
scent and nature of
reality.
good one. hard to capture that presence & consciousness.
This is truly magnificent and appeals to the reader both physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you for this.
