8032 Separation
[by S. David] [art by Bayou Faiza]

The colors of life
Change
The colors of memory
Change
Apart
Not as if
It never was
But
The colors change
She looks back
What was warm
What was bright
Now blue
And life
Continues
They walked
Together
So long
Treading no
Dancing on
The Spiral Path
Together
Yellow bright
Red fire
And now
Apart
Separation
Alone in
Her thoughts
The colors
Changed

Behind the Red Curtain 1
[by S. David] [art by Gregory Sanville]

Christ he was afraid
To really speak to her
Couldn’t open his heart
He knew her mother
Didn’t like him trust him
Worth a damn so before
They sat together on
The couch he went over
Pulled the red curtain open
Stepped back in amazed
Disgust sitting in the
Alcove behind the red
Curtain was her mother
He turned back to her
“Did you know” “No”
He took her arm said
“Let’s go let’s leave
Are you ready” and so
She left the house of
Her mother never turning
Back to see now there’s
Definitely a moral here
Somewhere if you
Find it out me know

The Goddess and the Sphinx
[by S. David] [art by Rich Buckler]

It was a meeting
Talked about for ages
Over the ages
Bastet she
Decided to
Go for tea
With the Sphinx
And so one fine day
They made
Themselves
Comfortable
On one of
Those worlds
That cater to
Such whims
A jolly time
Was had by both
So much so
They decided
To go for
A lope
Together
And a mighty
Run it was
Tired they took
Their ease on
A hot world
To get some
Sun in
Seeing them
So relaxed
Was such
A delight
I decided to keep
The memory

Apocalyptic Dali: Memories of Egypt
[by S. David] [art by Rich Buckler]

Sex
Superiority
And shall we
Worship
The past
The beasts
Of the fields
Deify
The spirit
The archetypes
Without
Within
But what is
Does it mean
Does he mean
Ah sensuality
In dreams
In parts
And parts
And fingertips
Trace legs lips
Ah to kiss
But my eye
I see
And Dali
Remembered
Still
Remains

Incantation [1]
[by S. David] [art by Daniel Victor]

Aye, they’re witches
Young ones, I could tell,
Their bodies firm,
Juicy, worth dwelling
On, even in, if you’re
One such as I. They
Came that night to
The forest to work
An incantation, deep
Spells to call forth
A denizen of the
Seventh Plane, why?
I was not sure for
A time, but I did
Observe the beginning
Workings, almost
From the start. Naturally,
It was after the very
First spell when they
Undressed and brought
Up the green mist
That I became aware
That they were there,
Trespassing on my land.
At their third spell, I
Took control, took control
Of them and rode
Each one hard and
Long until their bodies
Could orgasm no longer.
In turn, I let each
One rest then took
Them again. They should
Learn to ask an Unseleighe
Lord before they attempt
To use his land.

Conceiving
[by S. David] [art by Anna Ravliuc]

Doorway between
Two dimensions
Two realities
More like between
Fantasy and
Reality
But the Veil
Was thin
And exploding
Into another
World
As if
The door way
Was a womb
Birthing
Full formed
They left
They entered
Snorting in
The new air
Their like
Only stories
From myth
And legend
And one by one
The herd came to
Looked into
An artist’s
Cabin
An artist’s
Forest retreat
Then with neighs
And a flashing
Of tails
The unicorns
Trotted off

Music from Other’s Youth
[by S. David] [art by Anna Ravluic]

Old man
What do you
Want from them
So young
Old dog
Prowling
Sniffing
Ah but they are
So alive
So fresh
So vibrant
So bright
So naïve
What do I want
When I look
When I see
When I speak
Why
Their music
Of course
Their music
Brings me
Alive
Refreshed
Renewed
What do I want
Their smile
Their touch
Their music
For me

Conspiracy of Pleasure
[by S. David] [art by Anna Ravliuc]

What
You’d have me
Remember
Remember
Hot blood
In me
Glowing skin
Deep seeing eyes
This is what
You’d have me
Remember
And the sound
Of your voice
A conspiracy
With
My memories
To return me
To life
Why
So that
I would touch
Your body
Only
To have you
Disappear
Again

Passion
[by S. David] [art by Julia Fernandez]

Come sit with me
Have some coffee
Breathe deep
Listen
He lied
He was an actor
An observer
He did not love
Another was
In his mind
With every act
Of passion
Oh here and
There lust
Even some
Tenderness
But it was
Not you
Another
Even as
He was in you
This is true
He wanted
My woman
Even as
I wanted you
I know
We spoke
He speaks
With her now
Even as I you
And all of us
We may lose

Energia Positiva

In tune with

In tune with

Her body
Pulsing
Energy
So strong
Calling from her
Calling me
She awaits
She wants
She needs
She
So ready
The passion
The energy
Pours from her
Calling
Calling me
My eyes see
My body readies
This is
A reality
This is

Eve

And all symbols
All images
Merged
Into the vision
She became
My All
The fruit
I ate
The snake
That seduced
That swallowed
Me
My seductress
My tree
I learned of
Good and
Evil
As all became
One
My eyes
Opened
As I
Emerged

I Watched with Sad Eyes
While the Earth Burned
[by S. David] [art by Lavinia Young]

It was our world
A reality
We had created
And I knew then
It would stand
I was wrong
Wrong of course
For only
In dreams
Did it flourish
We separated
Why
So many reasons
I turned
As I was leaving
And saw you
Shorn of all
Your glory
I watched you
With sad eyes
While
The earth burned
Our reality
Destroyed
By us
Both

Into the Light
[by S. David] [art by Lavinia Young]

I took her
By the hand
Led her out
From the party
We had met
There talked there
Long deep
There was no
Argument
When I took
Her hand
We went to
A quiet pub
Talked more
Then she took
My hand led me
To her place
Led me into
The light not
The dark

Kalmarslott
[by S. David] [art by Dina Brodsky]

Three four steps
And I’ll cross
Into this night
The hid moonlight
Taking me
Certainly
Another place
A different world
Over there
On my left
A castle
Before me
A lake
Just a few
Steps and
I’ll be there
Strange
But I feel
Strange too
Ah and there’s
Such dark
Beauty in
This night
Before me
A few steps
Three four
I’ll be there
Will you
Miss me

Pilgrimage
[by S. David] [art by Dina Brodsky]

An ostrich
Walks down
A forested
A green path
It doesn’t
Belong there
But it is
Whose fantasy
Whose symbolism
Where can it
Stop plant itself
So that it won’t
See what it can’t
Accept and
How often
Do you feel
Out of place
A pretty world
Almost lush
And you know
You don’t
Belong
But
There you are
Anyway
On a pilgrimage
To find
Your place

To Fly Free

Not caged
Not trapped
Perched
Choosing
Memories
Wings beginning
To open
To spread
For the thought
Becomes heavy
Her picture
On the wall
Always seen
Beginning
To tire
To get old
Flexing
Time
Time soon
To fly free

Broken
[by S. David] [art by Daniel Victor]

And the toy
It walked
It talked
And did silly
Things and
The youngling
Played and
Played let it
Do those things
Youth is gawky
Youth is clumsy
And the toy
Was broken
A tear a sigh
A keening sound
A mournful sound
And sadness
And the youngling
Knew pain inside
Though it tried
It could not
Fix its pet
Human being

Succubus [1]
[by S. David] [art by Daniel Victor]

I know where I’m
Headed according
To your lights
So do you mind
If I get in a
Little tonight
I need the ecstasy
Of the exhaustion
Of my body
My flesh
And since you’re
Not so interested
I’ll just have to
Call out from Hell
A succubus
She’ll take care
Of my needs
I’ll pay the bill
When I get there

La Beauté du Diable [1]
[by S. David] [art by Daniel Victor]

Dark
With flaming lips
And piercing stare
A haunting beauty
Of His own
A magnetism that
Causes men and
Both to stare and
Then mesmerized
They yield and
Kneel humbly
To the very Devil
Himself
Too few
Can withstand
His looks
His silky voice
His sly words
He is
After all
An Angel
Fallen yes
But an Angel
For all that
