Spirit of the Man
47
Click below to hear me read this poem.
From files and piles, I select you
Embodiment of potency and strength
No identity this sepia tone fantasy
Merely a torso of earthy delights
Of lustful thoughts I should be ashamed
Deeming you to less than the art you are
But this portrait of tenuous rippling strength
Makes my breath short and my heart race
Happy my tongue, were it the shadows
That swim between sinew and brawn
Or heaven to be the soft light
Caressing your sleek and supple skin
My belly burns with carnal hunger
As I struggle to be intellectual
I beseech your artful image
Relate to me more than sexual
I do you a sweet injustice
With these visions in my mind
But would readily trade them
To know the spirit of the man inside

I'll never complain about too many comments Blue!
or too many views!!! or too many fans!!! or too much money!!
Very nice, Randy. I think we can all identify with our fantasy not being the reality of things, and they in no way lesson the way we feel and cherish the very person who is near to us. The one we cherish is in many ways not the fantasy, and yet they are so much better in so many different ways.
I really like it :) Makes me smile
Liked the picture and the poem, good one Randy
Blue, or too many fantasies, friends or martinis. I might be wrong about the martinis.
Yes Chris its a shame we can't turn our fantasies into our realities. But that would mean that our lives are but dreams and we are at the helm. ;)
Nice Randy and truthful too. I like that.
rdfrank, I'm so glad it makes you smile.
Thanks Hawkes, I was very inspired by this picture. There are two more by this photographer on my The Part of a Man That Drives Me Crazy hub. You would like them also:
I cannot praise your style any more divine than those who come before or after.
You speak the simple XX truth, and you create through english a code to convert. All humans, all XX OR XY should easily understand you.
I'm glad you liked this one ralwus, I know you like a good fantasy.
Wow, Hack, thank you for your praises. I hope you will continue to read me.
I will indeed try. I apologize, for I am oft-busy working on many projects. I am employed by various companies on an ad-hoc "do as needed" basis, so my free time is not as easily expendable as many.
But I still love what I do!
Loving your work, following your bliss is living the ideal.
The fire of imagination ignited by simple exchange can be even more enticing than reality. Well done Randy :)
I read it twice, to be honest, and I envied the man, or even the image of the man whom you addressed this peom to... Nice work like always RB, well done.
Trooper the exchange of energy on any platform can be intense, even when brief.
CG, You know I'm a pull my self up by my bootstraps kinda gal.
Thanks Shamel. If you envied him then I'v done my job as a poet.
Very Nice!! :)
