Swoon

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Interconnections lost and found, 
Visions in pieces A puzzle of images
Particles in motion with common threads
A mosaic of random expressions

NOT
You …and i

Impressions never lost in transition 
Disrobing, if not discarding 
All trace of civility as we cast off clothing

Dropping them loosely in rapid fire succession

As we gasp, sigh... kiss our inhibitions goodbye
Throwing ourselves deliberately into the fire,
Unafraid of what consequences may transpire

Indifferent to the connotations. Feeding our desires/inspiring a renewed sense of being...

Beyond the realm of recreational sex  

Although reasons we connect
May have roots in an elemental naturalistic tech

A drive to survive/return/stay beside you   
Which may leave lasting emotional kismet

Upon reaching saturation, soon enough  

An embrace finds us falling back into…
Scents, sounds, the sensation of tastes  

Blurred in our haste to fulfill the urge
With cups overfilled, begging to be spilled

In ways not wasteful as we coo and trill
like lovebirds climbing each other’s body/mind

As vines, winding ourselves into positions Reminiscent as the movement of dancing leaves  

In the wind, raindrops rising back to sky again

Our limbs reaching to have to hold each other  

Entwined to blossom inside ...and soon  
Winding up relaxed/reclined with sensations
So resonant exploring backgrounds of our minds  

With the scent of incense, sounds of wind chimes Which echo through our souls

With sensations as exciting as flying…
Our respirations calling closely

To one another as lapping waves kiss  

Overtaking shorelines peaking as they curl  

Then, drop again and again,  

Racing back and forth across time  

Carried by the wind

Like sand kiss…
and waters replies

Basking under suns warm embrace
Radiant heat penetrating to the core...  

In such a spontaneously combustible state,  

Naked souls as we are ...
enjoined

Instantaneously permeating,
percolating,

Sublimation…
wanting, needing…

More, more…
