Lupercal

By purr_verse

at the door :now:now:
snap and growl :now:now:
at the door :now:now:
burning writhing creeping sliding
claws
:now:now:
howling more :now:now:
come ambergris and panDemonic
wrap me melt me diaphonic
:now: bite :now: flight
turning dancing leaping gliding
at the door :my:soul:
torn apart :now:whole:
teeth and tongue and mindseye vivid
rend within erotic livid brilliant-twisted-aether-misted
!door! :now:growl:
lupine cry :now:now:
at the door now
door now
now now now now
baying bloodlust for me now i can't come in my pasts before me lunardance in velvet fur with steelsnarl promise at the door now wolfen shadow silver mindseye burning for me let me in touch primal fire in poison panic purring shrieking at the door :now:now: bring me more :now:now: drink lusted thoughtforms so distorted sense aborted !door! contorted rhythms teasing tasting kissing wildstyle tempting and i'm torn apart :now:now: at the door :now:now: come hungry for my full consent i can't relent assent relent assent relent this feral passion lupine heartcry at the door here for my heart gods enter in and come subsume and sink within i cannot fight the wilds herein i'm at the !door! :now:now: love and war :now:now: growl :now: snarl :now: wild sincere defiled sin sear
i've no control infect my soul devour me whole
burning/writhing/creeping/sliding/turning/dancing/
leaping/gliding at the door
lie back
sigh and snap
:now:now:
sweet attack
:now:now:
and with these wolves sink shadow-wrapped
the morphic walls of senses cracked
this splendour always brings me back
to the door

:now:
:now:

wanting more
:now:
:now:

hand to paw
:now:
:now:

at the door now
more now
yours now

yours

through the door
now

    Loupe garu in all of us but you have 'captured' something important here...would you really let it in? Bravo purr_verse!

  • A former member wrote: It was Dean R. Koontz in "Strangers", i believe, that first explained the thought process of an animal in ways i could understand. This delves much deeper, grasping the core of something much more sinister, something seething and searching and smarter than an animal should be. An excellence of chaos, this.

  • A former member wrote: I struggle to find my breath after many of your works. This is truly .breath-taking. work. I've never seen you write anything less than genius....but this one, generous....a great poet for our generation. Thank you.

    stunning....your work gets more and more complex...funny you would name it Lupercal, isn't that some kind of roman festival or God?...

  • purr_verse On Sunday, January 11, 2004, purr_verse (1059)By person wrote:

    Thank you! its literal meaning is "carnival of wolves." Yes, it's Roman, derived from their honouring of Lupercus (Pan). :) purr, metaphoric again

    I really liked this. The beat, pulled me in and took me for a great ride. good work. S.

  • A former member wrote: the steady beat of this poem is refreshing. i like to see a good beat and this is amazingly perfect. I am not worthy of this.

    I'm surprised I liked this...I dont usually enjoy I dont know "fantastical" if thats even a word poetry. But this was different...I too was breating hard by the end...WoW

  • A former member wrote: You know...everytime I see a new work I jump for joy. I really enjoy reading you that much. This did not let me down. The wording...the staccato rhythm. All just simply fantastic. I was breathing hard by the time I was done reading this...

  • A former member wrote: 'teeth and tongue and mindseye vivid rend within erotic livid brilliant-twisted-aether-misted' Wow! What can I truely say about this line that is not already painted from your breath & brush. Bravo!

  • A former member wrote: 'distorted sense aborted !door! contorted rhythms' These are my feelings exact; senses aborted & distorted w/ your contorted rhythms beautifully layered in rapture, rape & reinvention of the poet's purrfect pen...now now now now

    Wow purr this was so staccato with imagery it really portrayed a frantic state of mind, well done there. I hope I'm reading it right, and if I am I'd have to agree that I have a few wolves I'd like to let in, regardless of my duty to ward them off. Mayb

  • sole On Thursday, January 8, 2004, sole (93)By person wrote:

    Maybe there is some duality in this, like coming to terms with yourself, or perhaps not but I guess it's open for interpretation. As always this is written like an absolute pro, and I would KILL to hear it recited. Excellent.

  • A former member wrote: I've seen so many romanticisms of vampyre on this site, it is a breath of fresh air to see one with your talent take the case to the wolves...
