A Poem for Izzie and Iggy

What you devoutly shared,
You might
still
have shared
Not as lovers’ secrets,
But as thoughts, open
And showing your care



A clear communion,
As between one speck
From another world and
One more, made kindred
By shared origin ?



Or do ‘the poets pipe
Of love’ childishly ? :
Gawain
, elevating
His slight dalliance,
Because he is famed… ?

Postlude :




Twinned traitors

He enjoys stories
Of her dark,
sexy
exploits
With the other men


It makes the sex sharp,
And
fine
, that he might hit her
For what he'd allowed



Succubus

Sucking your nipples
Till you
came
(or seemed to come... ?)
Accorded prowess :


Flattery's efforts
Let you worm in warming hope
Which you could then
crush

A Poem for Iggy II


Stardust sounds so much fun,
Unlike, dear Iggy,
Major Tom, dutiful,
The protein-pill man,
Making all the grades



Louis chirp-states Stardust,
Before throatily
Drawling with scat notes
Out the melody’s
Lines, lovingly so



Even when Stéphane
Sends smiles through the song***,
Stardust is more dust, still,
Than Star-Shine Bright,
From another world

A Poem for Iggy I


Iggy Not-Quite-Stardust,
And Not-Much-Spaceman,
Crash-landed with his craft
In that southern Sea
Of Isabella



Gravity’s attractions,
Notwithstanding strong,
Quite unsecondary
In that descent, swift
To Isabella



Hush, said Isabella,
Whisht
, whispered then he :
For he did not un-know,
But knew, knew anew,
Through Isabella

A Poem for Izzie I


Sounds, in the air, sound our hearts,
Find out the longing that stays
Silent, the more that we say,
Cramming the air that departs
Our vacant lips



Lips, lips that touch, touch our soul,
Deepen the yearning that knows,
Silent, the way that we go,
Parting the halves of the whole
Within our mind



Mind, in two minds, not to be,
Seeking the loving that binds,
Silent, the ones who are kind,
Healing the wounds on the tree
That living inflicts

A Poem for Izzie II


These things, once known,
We do not un-know
But know again,
Here, where now
We sense ourselves



Our love, though new,
We know, know anew
Till we once find,
Here, e’en here,
Where we may be



Maybe, through words,
We knew what we know
But now see,
Here, unseen,
What now we see
