He Strokes Her FaceBeneath the gaze
of watchful eyes
she sits and cries.
The fairies pry
and wring their hands.
The wind goes by
with anguished sigh
he strokes her face.

Where My Brush Strokes Linger
I woke trembling on the threshold of dawn
as dappled sunlight through my window shone
Upon my primed canvas there had been drawn
a masculine image with finely chiseled cheekbones
What virile fantasy had I born while in flight
for my hand to have created such...

Come together in jannah, with a godlike libido
Write painstaking...

Waiting now for proud pink zinnias to come...

Brush StrokesCanvas is heavy, full of lovely thought
to place a young maiden beneath a willow tree
maybe beside a quaint pool where seasons wrought.
The youthful maiden known to others as Marie,
trapped hearts of many callow gents' curiosity
sending them tumbling hard from declined advance;
all were rejected but not...

Soul StrokesYou inspire me to be
less the thinker, the doer,
and more the drinker of spirits
from out of the Universe.
The Being being.
Then sings my soul

Ancient Strokesforgive me master
while you at your desk

writing on my skin
in the After of Life
