Danse Macabre
Mike Adam Jan 2018
So here I am
A couple of dead poets,
Dead people laying around,
Dead flowers

Dead souls

Dead end roads

And here am I

Dancing under the moon

This
Mike Adam Jan 2018
This soul has grown
Through all seasons,

Hanging from the
Salt-cliff
Windblown.

This heart has grown
Through all seasons
Of wild love and
Dead unnoticed man.

This soul will
Survive the end
Of every moment

To goodbye
The earth

Nude
Mike Adam Jan 2018
You should be able
To be naked
All of the time.

No sense to this
Eternal cover-up

Give the fruit
Of fig,

You may keep
The leaf

Note to self
Mike Adam Jan 2018
On those days

(Rare of late)

When a surge of joy

Flows through the veins,

Enjoy the gratitude
Due to life

Cold earth
Mike Adam Jan 2018
At the molten
Iron core

A fierce furnace
Burns.

What of earth
And body when
Rage and desire
Cool?

I tread lightly
Upon the earth,
Frosted or
Moist.

And when I
Die,

Just a little

Dark is everywhere

The joke is
Light

The little *****
Of light

Teasing.

Yes, I scream

And love the little
Pinprick light.

Goodnight.

Belong....
Mike Adam Jan 2018
To love the
Universe-
Dark and harsh

Is hard.

Beneath a
Permafrost of
Not belonging

Possible touch of
Mercurial heat
May welcome

Or burn.

Alone? Yes
Scared? Yes

Loving the
Inevitable extinction,
Principle of alien
Love

Merge
Mike Adam Jan 2018
Body melts
Glacial-

Disintegrates
Disgracefully.

Mind spins a
Vortex-

Chaos and order
Kiss beneath
An apple tree,
Bark ancient
As stone-

Weathered face

Sans eye
Sans tooth

And all the
Livelong day

A confusion
Jan 2018 · 125
Unhurried
Mike Adam Jan 2018
Despite clouds
Forming-
Falling rain-

Mountain

Grows-
Crumbles-

Slowly
Jan 2018 · 172
And the sun
Mike Adam Jan 2018
And the sun
Burnt me

And I was

Happy

Shine
Mike Adam Jan 2018
The sun
Unrisen

Tells true.

Worms
Unturned
Mucus my
Flesh.

All about
A tedium of skies

Shine

Unrisen
Mike Adam Jan 2018
The sun
Did not rise
This day.

I spin

Out of control.

This orbit,
Self-centred
Is reversed
Because

Wrong

Burrowing down
Mike Adam Dec 2017
Molten iron
Drunk-

Liver made
Of sterner stuff.

Lick earth-
Taster who-
What

You are-

Lick bark-
Grow tree

Love.

Before uni
Multi
Any verse-

Burrowing down
To core

Love

Yes, I screamed
Mike Adam Dec 2017
Yes, I screamed
Between mothering thighs
Emerging into light,

Masked man wielding
Forceps.

Yes I screamed against
The coming of light and,

Ageing now in
Deepest night,
Yearning for the
Dying of all light-

Amniotic fluid

Of

The


Dark.

Boson dancing
A jig-

Pan pipes a
Neutron aboard

This floating world-

Limitless space

Remove a fig leaf from
The genitalia of learning.

Examine concupiscence.

Pole dancing the
Double helix-
Architecture of
Breeding.
Great title, shame about the poem

Bzzz
Mike Adam Nov 2017
Delicate pink

Petals

Yellow stamen

Sticky with
Sweet bee

Scent
From heaven.

How pollen clings to

Yellow black fur.

Without love
A bulging of
Seedling sprouts.

Mean old road
Mike Adam Nov 2017
A flourish of evil
Extruding u der dark.

What transformation
In moonless time.

Past a pity of
potted trees

Mad midmight unfolds
Across the London road

Are stupid as

Slime.

Where is the cabbage?

So old
Mike Adam Nov 2017
The old who,
In their youth were
Pride and beauty
In fateful combination-

Now stare in silent
Contemplation at the
Embers of a life unlived
And wonder how the
Years flowed making
Furrows of their skin
Nov 2017 · 151
Sup-per
Mike Adam Nov 2017
With the
Burning
Of this toast

I honor the spirit

Of the living
Nov 2017 · 230
Offering
Mike Adam Nov 2017
Seized and ******
Dry

Adjoining spirits
Sacrifice all smoke
Unto sky.

Meat of thigh-
Burnt coals glow
And this meal

Divine

Conjoins you+I+all the

Gods

Time out of time
Mike Adam Nov 2017
With nothing to do
And nowhere to go

Stay put and
Suffer it through.

Walked 10,000 miles-

Not enough! Not enough!

No master
No disciple

Walk on
Walk on

So far come

So further to go-

Dancing
Mike Adam Nov 2017
Catch a flying arrow
In the teeth
Only

To spit out time.

Breathe in total space and
Blow out billion
Stars.

And this is what we call

Dancing with the
Heavens
Nov 2017 · 185
The fallen
Mike Adam Nov 2017
Sun but
Snow?

Ah, cherry blossom

Falling like poppies
Nov 2017 · 229
So long
Mike Adam Nov 2017
Recalling now
Your smiling
Lips
And smileless
Eyes

That
Mike Adam Oct 2017
That day
I loved you---------

Oh
Oct 2017 · 133
The gift of forgetting
Mike Adam Oct 2017
Of course

(The river soil
Runs
Oceanwise)

Of course if
(with freezing hands)

Your foot slips
Into the stream-
Sing like the
Dandelion

Releasing seed.
Thanks to tree
To soil
To love
Thanks to

Whatever

Makes you....
Oct 2017 · 152
There is none
Mike Adam Oct 2017
There is no
Difference between

The ***** and the moon

No mote in eye
And genius

No empty girl
Eternal

And glutton belly-
Full.

Love this-

This all

This dichotomy of
Failure and war
And deep dark
Kisses of adodelscent
Ardour.

I love you and hate
Hate and love me back-
Psssh you and I both nothing there is none-
Differentiation-
Stone in the shoe

And

Divine
