Dragon Poetry

​

Written sometime in the mid 80’s I look at you with the eyes of a ravenous child a hunger so deep parches the pit of my stomach I want to feel you within me I lose words to this fever of you, its madness stealing my tongue. A thousand times I should have kissed you ten thousand times i will feel the eternal longing I will try to mouth and put to form the words to describe all the magic, all the fire when our eyes meet only briefly the world comes to a standstill and all the butterflies sing millions of them these words are like gaping wounds feebly attempting to describe the souls desire. ©Julienne Alvarez

All Along The Watchtower December 8, 2014 at 11:48am i am not famous notoriety does not perfume my air no I crumbled like humid earth within a fungal embrace and as such I have entered escape velocity no memories holding me here freedom to be erased, untethered like the worn leather of that old pole ball no longer smacked it has already happened you see as I look down the road that long stretch into the fading distance I disappear, there there into the everywhere beneath the raised graves of night into the blood of morning. ©Julienne Alvarez

Flame Letter Aleph

You came to me again last night
as an old flame of mine
we acknowledged each other as you became him
your left eye being my right eye
stared at me
in our palindrome mirror
I swallowed
at the sight of you
you swallowed
the thirst of desire gutting us
forming a deep wound
that not even our greatest love making can heal
we gasped through deep kisses
trying to fill our emptiness
with each others breath
I moaned your name over and over
and felt its sound escape the cave of my mouth
igniting the air with its spell.


I mounted your body
your manhood swelled into my aching belly
I bent myself like a willow near your dark river
deeply drinking from your mouth and eyes
our lips tenderly devouring the time we lost
since we last met over 24 years ago
eclipsed by this dream of now
and yet in another place, hidden from the world
now and then
your apartment out of time.


In the morning I awoke
and went outside
staring down the throat of the sun
I journeyed toward your heart
following the path of flames
you traced out upon my flesh
within the womb of night.

Outside of time and space
this is where I will meet you
again and again
within the clockwork of eternity
and someday the inside will meet the outside
as we dance across the sands of time
and meet once again within
this flaming ring of fire.
