half awake
I am looking 
staring

at a an attractive 
young women 
on  a print on my wall 
of a famous painting 

imagining the painter 
Signor Leonardo 
saying  to Ms. Lisa
with a sensuous accent

come on

give me 
a little smile

just a little...

I want to say thank you
In some of the languages of the world
To all the soup members
For you have helped my heart to twirl

From writings on many topics when you have the time

Thank you (English)
Muchas gracias...

My tale will be long and prosperous. 
Who are you...

Psicologia 
Grazie per psicologia, signor Wundt
Tu! Intelligente
The field opens our minds to make us realize so much
Manual boring tasks make no sense
Corps constantly talk about research
Bu they are full of false correlational fico matter 
Psicologia helps us realize that the cubicle is annoiso
Without knowledge one...

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SIC VOS NON " VOBIS "

Thus do ye,but not for yourself....

for a time to forever last

In hope...

The vision came to me as I was sitting in a contemplative state
Oh Allah the vision did not have the scent of bait.
Within and threw the clear smoke I saw the vision of my future mate.

suddenly

into a 

restaurant
so Italian

from Italy so
after paying

Our candle refuses to consume the night,
it lit only to paint our shadows on the round mud walls

guarding our supper like the ancient gods you read about but never pray to.

In the round mud house,

one she has picked

never seen
never been
but longing
to belong to what
she already belongs
