This is a small selection of the micropoems I write on Twitter.

 

1

Approach me faceless

and your desire

will sweat and sate me.

But catch and hold my eyes

from amid your lofty crowd

and I will likely drown.

~~~~~~~~~~

 

2

I am lesser than a lizard's eyelash

when you shift your gaze

but greater than a galaxy

when our eyes engage.

~~~~~~~~~~

 

3

I am undone

by the tilt and texture

of the skin

dusted with sweat

above your lips.

~~~~~~~~~~

 

4

She was a drowned galleon

sinking to ancient depths

immersed skin dissolving

her jewelled cargo spilling

at the moment of surrender.

~~~~~~~~~~

 

5

I lay exposed

as the sea's foamy tide

lapped my crevices

her weedy tresses

cradled by my thighs.

~~~~~~~~~~

This is an intriguingly self-revealing collage of vignettes.

I will take it as a compliment that this moved you enough to comment. And I thank you Dermott. Don't read too much of me into it though. The truth is the kernel, not the whole fruit.
