Beauty



Beauty


A passion shared

Protective gloves, buckskin jackets, supple chaps and shiny new helmets

All worn to no avail

Lovers ride nestled close

Their destinies ordained

A reckless driver

A dire plea

A grip lost

Skid marks, a misplaced iron stake, crimson blood, a mortal wound

An angel personified

Echoing fear

A blaring siren

The house of death-Intent on healing

Disenchantment

Shattered lives

A cherished lover

Loving mother

Protective father

Devoted brother

Extinguished hopes

A beauty missed

Not far from here 

The Beauty sleeps evermore

Private Parts: The Early Works of Ian Ayres

Private Parts: The Early Works of Ian Ayres  [Special Extended Version]   [Paperback] Ian Ayres   (Author) Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Bringing together the best poems from Ayres's early verse (much of it written in houses of ill fame) to his erotic and darkly imaginative later pieces, this stunning collection also features his previously unpublished experiences with luminary legends such as Tennessee Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Yoko Ono, Edmund White and Quentin Crisp. More than a book, PRIVATE PARTS is an experience of teen angst, hangovers for breakfast and raw enlightenment tripping over that cliff's edge in the rye. It would not exist if Ayres were not a survivor. Ayres's crusty accounts of a boy's life on the wild side explores the extreme boundaries of human behavior and amorality, offering a journey through his life from his early years in houses of ill repute to his life in Paris today.
