A Catching Of Breath



In Sacramento did Matthew

A simple pleasure poem decant

With words like wine flowing

From the pen lofted far above

A Damocles looming over erotic verse

Words of meadows and the touch of fern

To skin supple and waiting, airy floating

Over free pages, words sent of fragrance

From muse and miracle,  of love and shared

Whispers even from solitude,  Xanadu

In pentameter or alliterative illusiary omen

In Sacramento poets bravely

And simply pleasure poems repeat

Unshattered by interruptive reality,  words

As drugged as possible,  some slow

Purposeful seduction on paper,  a poem

Making love to itself,  slowly stretching

To a conclusion and a catching of breath

I think it is worthy, and calls for an arrangement.
