Sweet Talking Potatoes

Casting my net
love over centuries
storms across
the sands 

Blowing deeply
inside deeper
than the skeleton
i speak 
out from
my soul

In an arid desert
blinding oasis
echoing beauty

Blowing whispers
whistling beats
floating your words 
just keep 
bringing sunshine 
into my life

it amazes me
with your honey 
sweet speaking bees
golden honey coated
laughs out lights 
upon the face 
as my heart 
shines out 

Trying 
to dazzle 
you with good
tasting sweet vibes
your beauty 
in my eyes
sparkling bursts
 
Only a lion 
roaring in 
the jungle 
of his life 
through the eyes 
of centuries
 
I am hot 
on your tail
sparkling stars 
from the pyramids 

I want 
to be your 
Mark Anthony 
as you honey 
go back 
in time 

Grasping out
into the ages
to Helen 
of Troy 
her beauty
was beyond compare
so the legend
has it

Launched one
thousand ships
the might and force
of an empire
so powerful 
a feeling

Great empires 
could fall 
when a man
is head
over heels 
truly loves 
a woman
