Not Since The Last November Rain

aDarkerMind

not since the last November rain

words of trees in throats of dancing Magpies

nestled with the north wind in plagues of rice

on naked breasts of imported ivory;

cracked and free of faceless charm

free of the tasteless blood from Sparrows hammer

chains of thoughts twisted and strangled in closet screams

still lost with the orbiting clowns in skies of timid cheer;

Mother of the playful pearl in her green unbottoned blouse

crawled with soldiers wounds through skinless winter leaves

between the swollen eyes of the drag queen and his masturbating rat

between the hormones of his fruitless orange flesh;

not since the last November ploughed

through tortured sperm of ruptured Porcupine

have I dared to hiss and kiss at the carnival of dancing doubt

or pirate my charade in my uniform of transparant anxiety;

not since the last November rain

have I dared to close my eyes and die again;

    'Mother of the playful pearl in her green unbottoned blouse
    crawled with soldiers wounds through skinless winter leaves
    between the swollen eyes'
    'through tortured sperm of ruptured Porcupine
    have I dared to hiss and kiss at the carnival of dancing doubt
    or pirate my charade in my uniform of transparant anxiety;
    not since the last November rain
    have I dared to close my eyes and die again;'..
    initially, I was drawn to that porcelain metaphor again, but
    realised you have utilised it completely different in this poem
    (how creatively refreshing and bold)..
    and then, as always with your stylistic Poetry's
    unassuming Rosewater, of subtly decadent wording
    I was lost - deep, within that ink of creativity's fervour
    glaring your poetic genius, to my pixilated slipstream: screen..
    (write's like your transcend need for age limits or trigger warnings
    since only those willing to delve deep and unfurl
    can have access to your Poetry, to begin with
    in my humble opinion),
    thanks for sharing dear Poet
