Romance Day and Night
Romance Day And Night
How the Romans played their moonlit dreams
splashing out near viaducts of love I can only
wonder same as with knights in shining armour
or rather without when the Ages seemed dark
and oriental spices called for senses and beyond
Roma and Sinti travelling with passion in horse drawn
wagons moved to the tune of lute flute fruit and delirious
fires I suppose howling with wolves or howling without
I am also a bit of a traveller enchanted by foreign
lands and customs and my gorgeous lover is the Gipsy
Queen of Fairy-Tale-Land with 'Tinker-bells' and
nights in white satin embraced and embroidered as
we attune our chords and accords in tune with what is
as the sizzling romance preludes from the rise of the sun
Sometimes we travel on our own and distance makes
the heart long for even longer and deeper longing and
so on my journey to Egypt a bazar for tapestry fabric
mosaic textures and patterns called for my visit
Here a kind Muslim woman a gentle soul veiled and
covered with culture decency aura and soul offered
to advise me on night dress with frills and imprinted
desire for my wife’s curves and compassion a courteous
dignified transaction with respect and knowledge for
romance and a thousand and two Arabian nights
What plays in the night stays in the night when skin
touches skin and states of dress and undress reflect
the journey together through bright stars and in sparkle
when we move to rainbows and horizons images in love
I have travelled the world saw the ‘Harem’ in Topkapi
the back streets of Hamburg ‘Hamams’ in Bagdadh
‘Passiflora’ and ‘Hamamelis Virginiana’ in the gardens
of plenty and mystic depictions Kama Sutra and all
Celibate monks and virtuous nuns have shown me
temples monasteries ruins natural wonders and
the Taj Mahal at full moon equalled some grandest
of canyons effervescent springs and the valleys of love
Apart from my lover exploring such sights is the most majestic
teacher and leader far sighted druid sage and romantic
and many misconceptions can fall and come brittle when
we mix and we mingle with others on far away grounds
and the feminine shopkeeperes in Cairo led me some
way and dissembled some more prejudice in this instance
not just what buying lingerie in the Levant could be like
but how women of the world can be both quite agentic
sensual and empowered when seen through their very
own lens harmony preview perception beliefs and not with
distortion of macho controlled domination's limited margins
The 'half mooned' veiled women who transacted silken
see-through garments for your senses’ heights and
and for mine while covered and decent blew gently
away covert racism sexism gender-ism ism in general
an overt overture away from silhouettes of insanity
Coming home coming over overcoming all those isms
in this crazy controlling misguided world we live in is
an antidote to aggression skinning and feuds and in the
magic of our miraculous dreams an exquisite requisite
and ensemble for what becomes 'loving it better' and
for romancing and dancing heartfelt romance in the night
