Taxi

By Kelly B Jones

This journey begins where mine means to end

A night that seemed a legend, now feels like remorse

The city sun stirs and society’s assembly line sets in motion

Toes sore, eyes tender, ears begging for silence

His vigorous ankle jerks and jabs the auto uncomfortably

The assembly line bends and twists to find freedom

Stomach heaves, temples throb 

Home never seemed so far

And Loneliness never felt so close

Pressing an ear against the glass, wondering how long this’ll last

Giving up breath and accepting the sin

Then a soft whistle, which becomes gradually audible

It is honey over thorns, the sound of the sunrise.

It is the fipple flute, the kluey – ooh through his tattered speakers.

It is Thai, so I know that I’m home.

Thank you Khun Taxi for bringing me there. 

Only They know (still incomplete)

Only They Know By Kelly B Jones


Glass rounded curves decorate their lips and
Lead them onwards into the welcoming black
The warm rumbling and mumbling cocoon
Veers them to a nook where no light can attack

Icy air fondles their pores whilst heated decibels
Penetrate their drums
Little sweet-nothings expel and disperse
Like a tea-dipped biscuit and it’s break-away crumbs

An exchange of looks and a marriage of desire
Allows their fabric makeup to swiftly dissipate
A ratifying twist magnetizes both cores
A Carnal momentum only they could translate.

A quick tug of the neck brings their gazes to the gods
A final pinnacle reached as sensualities flow
Suddenly, a wink of a twinkle from above
She whispers, "They know our secret"
He: "Yes, but only they will know"

I'm on a role...

Expectations of Reconciliation

If I re-enact our first meeting

As if it never wilted

If I can swiftly lift your lips into a smile

With memorable tongue-in-cheek

If I bear gifts and posies and

Poetry and tunes of vintage

If I give you the greatest sunset

Whilst out at sea so that you can have it twice

If I hold you tighter than skin itself

And let go only to reposition our embrace

If I kiss you a hummingbird’s kiss

Where floating for sweetness is a natural occurence

If I bring you the hope that you were missing to

Achieve your eternal ambition

If I obliterate all life’s tyranny

By carving you an uncorrupted path

If I arrive at your company with all these things

Will you still see me as you once saw me before?

Or are these mere expectations of reconciliation


No more.
