"languorously" poems
We fall, and hard, and in the shadows, ***** ourselves on snags, that tear our clothes; grazed and cut, we stagger on - Impressions, ideas, fancies! Of these have we been disabused. But is this spring, come again? Lovely, yesterday, in the bright sunlight, to see you, felt green hat in among the photo clouds, apple suedes on the gallery's dank floor. Melvyn,   and I, merrily circling with you the light cloud images, my nostrils full of pollen spikes. The pictures: wisps of trailing dreams churning in ‘scapes of infinite blue; dark clouds, in amongst them, too. Photographs in two time places caught; at once, all: the other and t'other. So excitement swells, and everything besides us quells, because the knowing of itself, knows, and dares beyond the frames; to skirt knowingly the unsaid; to want beyond the wounded past, to pull things, once again, inside out. In whimsy’s currents flow these thoughts, these feelings, these drives; swirling in eddies, so that as you sit, on a summer’s day, it moves, a mirror to everything above. The wavelets on the surface, hammered into shape, burn, bite and dazzle; the sun’s flames leaping and dancing on ripples. In the basement, on the concrete, your Y proneness shifts, releasing knees on black-clad thighs; two pendulums swinging, brushing; yawing metronomes in the cool, coolness of my desultory thoughts. Oh, what am I saying? Feelings like reveries walk along these silver lips straying languorously. These myths are too soon made, carried one to the next, one-on-one, until contained no longer, become new truths.

Were you ever called a *****
We fall, and hard, and in the shadows, ***** ourselves on snags, that tear our clothes; grazed and cut, we stagger on - Impressions, ideas, fancies! Of these have we been disabused.

the piano a deep baritone and somewhere the steady hum of a television i wake limbs lethargic from the magic of a siesta and he sings my eyes heavy my heart light i stretch languorously the kettle hisses the shapes of the afternoon the lilies cast a shadow the light changes and the piano touches chords deep in my body places i had forgotten memories of times long ago, kisses under the velvet canopy of stars so bright and dancing and laughing of youth carelessly spent and smoky kisses over the river the sweet tea brings me back to now the drone of the television back to mediocrity and life but he plays and there are dreams

Chords
My greatest fear is that my mind will become languid all these nerves that buzz and fill will someday become a vegetable somnolent times will set upon me a spell from which I cannot recover lazily and languorously I shall dwell an intellect without vigour too much comfort too much praise too much ease shall push me off the cliff of complacency and I shall fall without cognizance a mental suicide, awareness in deep freeze a hardened blank consciousness that needs to be broken through excavated from a  grave of self-righteousness pushed beyond self-set limits melted until the core is seen I need to feel the pain and hurt cry briny tears and experience grief need to feel unsure undecided obscure myself in anxiety make sure the inner ocean stays unfrozen - Vijayalakshmi Harish         12.09.2012 Copyright © Vijayalakshmi Harish

My precious You become a beauty Only when you languorously Hug the waists of damsels as cincture Countless are the times, earlobes or ankles Unadorned by you Inflamed me A plain a yellow thread has ousted you nowadays When you swing from an ear, It is indeed fascinating to watch You have even usurped my sleep As a nose-ring, through its keen glitter Costume jewellery has replaced you too, many times Still, my precious, It is when you are pawned That you become real ‘gold ‘ Like the revolutionary Who become more so By getting hanged Like a soldier Who become more of a soldier By getting shot at the border My precious, my precious My precious pledged gold.

Startling, simply. ***** form of white; Pillar of morals Tied to fables That are taller still Than even he. And yet the sight Takes wind from The watcher. Rapt eyes stroll Languorously across him. Form unconcealed And no appendage Draws undue focus. Stale cupola air Becomes spring in his repose. His smirking dead eyes Mock spectators. He leaps and vaults Through the deadened vaults, Then furrows his brow, opens his mouth. Mute shouts ring terribly here like slung stones. Were he out in the elements, the earth itself might Gape monstrously to sputter out, "Startling, certainly."

On Michelangelo's "David"
you subjugated me, doing me as Pizarro did the Incans, plundering my heart and ravaging the remainder. that's probably why I love you so, because nothing feels so good as being subsumed, breathless held under kicking but only languorously, like swimming on a Sunday afternoon.

conquistador
From thy lips I have taken your sin As the stars bear witness like lamps hanging from depthless vaults of midnight blue Your words passing through electric fields across land and sea inflame me for every day, each passing night that you are not here. Let me write your name that has passed my lips like a prayer of release all over my body like fingerprints to mark me forever as yours. Let them find me here In gossamer clouds longingly staring at the moon wanting of your touch, your kisses, your love. Stay here with me For it is not day But the moon taking her steps languorously To keep you here with me Away from the cold light of dawn. How I pray that this must be so! Time hasten your stride For I tire of waiting enduring every second too long And bring my love to me- Him and the sea salt taste of his skin, his fiery breath upon my neck, the caramel sweetness of his tongue. Bring me his wondrous laughter Or the cadence of his voice so that I can store those notes in my heart to claim them as my own As his promise of ravishment Hangs in the air Like some heavy, perfumed fruit the only cure for this hunger that consumes me, heart, body and soul. Heavy sighs do I release, oh wondrous night, And I hope it reaches my love, wherever he may be tonight.

Tonight
*Raw skin adorned, Love…in its sensuous hues Curvaceously designed Languorously spread, Seductively, productive. With eyes that you see me Do I wear a façade, carry out a charade? I am what I am, in my nakedness Bare, exposed I shall remain Love or hate me, I am your friend*.

Naked friendship
The thick, jet-black sky was teeming with stars, each one twinkling to the beat of our hearts, *ba thump, ba thump, ba thump,* and danced when our hands trailed too close, my frigid fingertips trailing across his hot palms, trying timidly, feverishly, to reach equilibrium. His tenacious coffee-brown eyes animated, stirring at the very hint of my voice, (a mere mouse squeak) as I looked away, pawing at my arm, fidgeting my words into mush in front of him, letting them drop to the seat of the bench like unfortunate jelly spilled at a picnic, sticky and clumped, indecipherable, languorously trailing from my lips and dripping downward to the cool-grey concrete slabs bolstering us up among the night. It was tedious. He knew it would be as he beamed back, still watching my words flow like molasses, so dense and viscous they never came. He kissed me. Had I expected it, I might've stopped him, tried to make it more artificial, more methodical, contracted, mechanical, but I didn't. I couldn't. The feeling pressed through me like a current, an electric shock pulsing, refusing to stop until it hit my core, reverberating through my chest, forcing my eyes open. Taking advantage of this moment he teased, knowing I couldn't speak, not then, not now, not after this; when I looked back at him, his gaze was much calmer, more delicate, and his laughter floated off like feathers. I kissed him.

After Hours
Whenever a voluptuous moon, radiantly brimful, looms low and gilds the tops of the trees, The hills, the sprightly streams, the languorously reclining lakes, She appears to me from nowhere Like a dream, Like a flash of inspiration to a muddled mind. My Muse glides gracefully toward me like an elusive wreath of smoke and gathers me in her embrace like a silken robe, hovering around me like the perfume of roses. She appears as a stirring source of fantasy and vision, Like the magnificent Northern lights displaying luminous draperies on a star-spangled polar nights, Like the spectacular rainbow burst after an intense shower, Like a shooting star, Like a blessed apparition; I take her as one would a reluctant bride with gentle persuasion and resilient arms!

Moonlight Mojo
Her skin pink and satin Trapped **** in a secret vault I lavish her sweetly She moans and begins to quiver Her dazzling sapphire eyes Swoon over me I whimper A ****** begins to charm Like a candle made of potion A rare ruby shinning Dances in the mirror Subtlely hypnotizing She tastes like sugar and honeycomb Her taught fingers Caressing languorously Sunset like a fire Engulfs me The evening torrents An aphrodisiac We tremble into oblivion In exotic bliss As my charmed jewel Lies with me

A ******
she espied my prone body mostly unclenched mostly unclothed comes standing beside, she, a human eclipse blocking half-a-sun and i without surreption slide my hand slowly, languorously up her inner thigh, she laughs with a chuckled giggle asking Really? and the poet replies: oh yes indeedy

Evening's light lies languorously Across the land, Waiting for The quietly encroaching night To bestow her With beauty.

An August day When the warm moist air kisses my skin A dead leaf makes an appearance Signaling the summer days are all but over As the days get shorter The napping cat stretches languorously on the deck As the hummingbird lands on a flower Summer slips away every hour
