Fell in the Arms

[Mach II]

The above is the famous sculpture, Venus de Milo.

Venus Love Riot
-----

I fell into the arms,
of stone unsheathed from Earth's decomposing belt.
I fell into the arms,
of Venus de Milo.
The picture lay unfolded, cubic,
teeming with a neatly bridled ferocity
I had painted it,
the portrait of a city, that talks way too fast.

Love Venus de Milo
the pervading aesthetic,
the godly perfection of the artificial face.
Love her,
for the picture she dreams up,
the sweeping panoramic view of
mechanical fingers gripping the sky,
built skyscrapers,
and yes, they too, are art.

I fell laughing,
with a friend from many stages,
I wrote a book with many thousands
of pages.
And Venus, love is all, Venus,
stands still, like a pillar descended from God,
like the drugs that always exist,
she stands,
the embodiment of Love. Beauty. Art.

I felt snakelike,
gathering like pools of blood in the city
my eyes went soft
and melted into the grand scheme of things.
my brain devoted to a ritual.
dressing up thoughts in designer clothes,
parading them on a flimsy turning page.

I fell into the arms,
of Venus de Milo.

this piece had a very upbeat rhythm and I like how it speaked of the sculpture enchanting you in some kinda of way.....
that was very original and I haven't seen a poem approached in that form before....
this piece got really good towards the end...the poetry seemed most fluid then:

I fell laughing,
with a friend from many stages,
I wrote a book with many thousands
of pages.
And Venus, love is all, Venus,
stands still, like a pillar descended from God,
like the drugs that always exist,

these were easily the best lines in the whole poem......


pz out and great read man.
