A cascade of lines
Crossed
The least of which was nudity

Dusk Descending On the ShoreDusk descending on the shore -
My eyes engorge themselves on orchid and wisteria swirls
which frost a blue-cake cotton-candy sky.
Peacefully, deeply, I draw in breath to savor
that special flavor of the sea. Its salty tang
delectably has mingled with the lime of my man's cologne.
Suddenly,the screech...

Descending SunDescending Sun
Setting sun indoctrinates an ascent,
Even smallest ants can cast,
Obvious long shadows !

Nude Descending a StaircaseThe canvas is painted in ochres and browns
Suggesting a figure, the staircase coming down
Be it masculine or feminine is for your mind to see
The artist’s title denotes it descends in nudity.
The body parts are not displayed so exact
Demonstrating movements that appear somewhat abstract
Stare as long...

Nude, Descending a StaircaseNude, Descending a Staircase*
Nude, descending a staircase.
Sunlight gleaming off the smooth curves
of the still warm, wet, torso.
Soft foamy shampoo halo
surrounding mounded hair,
damp, hurried footprints follow.
Squinting eyes peer through
gossamer curtains,
impatiently waiting in anticipation,
a noonday rendezvous.
A whispered exchange
in the cooling breeze of open door,
exciting the senses.
Climax…words uttered
in...

Descending PeaceAfter a hard day
a game-changing starts,
igniting the night.
You are buried
in stitches. The wounds
are devoid of blood.
Will you split the-
silence along the words ?
There was no awareness now.
A persona
becomes a revolution. The streets
are painted red.
The monument
drifts. You wash...

Love Descending Upon An AngelLooking up at the sky, up in the air so high
Moving like a bird, time fiercely passing by.
You and I together, at each others side
Waiting for a full moon, until the highest tide.
To you my dearest, my true love for you is so
Love only for...

Forty Six and Two Is DescendingOrienting
A time of pain
Lost in your mind
Playing games
The will of hers
Is strong like his
Soothing like furs
The weakest wills
Without domination
Or scepters gaze
No one will beat sin
Or get past this phase
The few have seen it
The few do know
Majority fails
While shadows glow
Walking the path
Is older now
Then gliding...

Lyric
divinity descending -
oh, the so-sublime motion of your sway
dressed in naught but the moon's wisps
sole fascination of the gods themselves
should Valhalla ever hold the refinement
to abide such flawlessly beguiling rhythm …

How Far Down Do You Need To GoHow far down do you need to go_
~to stand face to face and toe to toe_
~with that no-good son of a so and so?
Taking not only yourself but all you know.
Descending from on high to deep below_
How many of your friends are now your foe?
Rejecting...
