The Blindness of Desire
Birthed to destiny
Fortuna, elusive, contingent
The necessity to seek without the effort of a verb
Unconscious in the absolute, until…
The explosion
A star so bright as to enlighten with the ecstasy of blindness
Destiny, then…
The delimitation of sight entire
The contingency of necessity
Exposed ontologically in a space devoid of time:
Singular repose, the sleep of the dead inhaling of life at its purest
Having so thoroughly defeated my imagined ocular suzerainty
As only you could ever have accomplished
I thus revel in your scent
An olfactory compulsion
Issuing forth an imperative
Seek out the touch which will awaken your inconceivable beauty
A caress of your curves
Appropriates me
In a fashion to be signified only by visionary
“Seeing” now that which I glide over
The most ethereally gentle exigency
“Glimpsing”, also
Your sonic vibrations, quietly urgent
Shame of the fabled Sirens
Mysterious silence of whom I have accidentally penetrated
Through the blissful blindness of my revolutionary desire

Amazing poetry, the words flow so softly and naturally creating the most sensuous imagery. :)

You state posted at 4.23am but surely not written in the wee hours of the morning? Your use of philosophical terms and intergalactic emotions is quite intriguing. You end with such haunting beauty.
What can I say? I’m a night owl. I almost always write at this time of day. It’s when I’m fresh and no one is fucking with me. The world has yet to penetrate my skull. I love “intergalactic” emotions. Thank you, Lisa. xo, Rusty
