Intangibles For "lolita"

I am a man of simple taste An island child And talk to my neigbors face to face Where lush trees beguile Birds, not man. I have seen trees smoking In lime kiln fires Just for crossing a man's desire. I want more than ashes Plumed In the kaleidoscope of fire. Here with dull keyboard That cackles clicking strange Sounds, I make sterile music That communicate to living Breaths of fresh air In far away places I do not know And wish there was a riverbank Our flesh upon the soft grass Come to pass Like an island dream Hidden things unwing the mind to fly Comrades behind a distant screen Of chips and fragmented light Fall alone Each divided hour Do I truly yearn alone To meet my friends And make a paradise Forever? My only hope of immortality here Is what you remember Of my peasant songs.

This is a lovely piece, it flows like a song. So many of us do not appreciate to the full extent the friendships that we make. You show such passion for friendship and relationships in this write. Well penned... and of course I love the title...LOL Smiles from Lolita
