The Poetry of A. Carstello Clark

Inspired by my wife, Desire

ENTRAPMENT
As I stare into your eyes
I get caught up in your rapture.

You're a huntress in the wild
And my heart's the beast you captured.

As I hold you in my hands
Gentle as a potters' hands on clay,

I gently caress your person,
And all your pain and fears away.

I can feel your love rush through me
Like a bullet's mighty force.

Let me feast upon your body
And savor my divine full course.

Every time I lay to rest
I dream of making love to you.

Every dream is like Nirvana
And results in two anew.

It's an honour that I've met you;
A blessing to receive your love.

Feeling warmness flood my body
From the prospect of one of your hugs.

Let me lay you in the field
Upon soft blades so evergreen.

Doing things to make reality
From your fantasies and dreams.

Let me cover you with honey;
Whip cream; cherries; kiwis, too.

Set your mind at total ease
As I doth do the things I do.

Let me lay you on a speaker
As the bass rolls down your back.

Let all objections be known now
'Cause when we start, there is no turning back.

Impatiently I await the day
That I'll take you as my only bride.

And you take me to be your only groom;
Eternale we'll ride.

So just cast your weight upon me;
Let me dry up all your tears.

Let's leave all our fears behind us
And enjoy our coming years.

JE'TAIME.



LOVE SO TRUE
The days of our lives which seem to pass
Like school day notes -- Sands through the hourglass.
And turn of autumn leaves so red
Seem to bring to me thoughts of love so true.

They fall as raindrops on a still, blue lake
And blanket my heart as the stars at night.
I can feel your heart pulsate through my veins.
As your warm face emerges within my mind.

JE'TAIME.



~*IF ...*~
If life is a beach ... You are the sand
Which heats my heart and the water that
calms my rage.

If life is a stage ... You are the lone actress in
the production of "Love".

If life is astronomy ... You are my North Star
to guide me -- the axis on which I rotate -- the
Sun around which I rotate -- my black hole in
which all of my troubles and worries seem to
disappear.

If life is the environment and ecology ...
You are the clean air I inhale -- the green grass
in which I lay -- the weed that gets me high -- the meadows and pastures -- streams and
babbling brooks in which I play.

If! ... If you were here by my side then my
life would be complete -- no voids in my heart --
fewer flaws in my character -- less fallacies in thought.

JE' TAIME.

 

~*Touched By An Angell*~
I've been touched by an angell .. A heavenly goddess
who descended from the clouds and christened my lips
with a kiss of inspiration and hope.

I've been touched by an angell .. A heavenly goddess
who descended from the clouds ... engaged her hand
in mine ... and led me through the Halls of Desire.

I've been touched by an angell ... a heavenly goddess
who descended from the clouds ... embraced my body
and flew me to exquisite places I did not know existed.

I have been to the Sun: intense with lust and passion --
calm with fury and rage .. to the most violent
rivers: watching the savage waves civilize at
my feet.

I have been touched by an angell ... and I've felt my
soul rejoice and rejuvenate in the name of peace, ...
love and everlasting: Life and Happiness.

JE'TAIME.


Good Night Prayer
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
I PRAY YOU'LL WATCH ME AS I SLEEP.
I PRAY LOVE FALLS ME HEART AS RAIN.
AND SPREADS ABOUND AS IF SAND GRAINS.
I PRAY YOU'LL LEAD ME TOWARD "THE LIGHT".
AND COMFORT ME THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
INSTILL IN ME YOUR SACRED WORD.
THAT ONE DAY, YOUR FLOCK, I'LL SHEPHERD.
FORGIVE ME, LORD, WHEN I DO SIN.
FOR, I AM NOT A PERFECT MAN.
SHOW ME THE ERRORS OF MY WAYS.
BE BOTH MY FATHER AND MY FRIEND.
CAST ALL MY WICKED WAYS TO HELL.
THAT IN THE MORNING TRUE LOVE PREVAILS.
AMEN.
