Arni Kleftiko Stolen Lamb


The Cypriots and Greeks have a few differences,
And can argue a great deal,
But both agree when it comes to ‘Kleftiko”
It has forever been, the most delectable 
Traditional Greek meal,
That ever a bandit...

So very surreal, yet not a dream

Beautiful headstones, manicured lawns

The winding road, first turn to the right

above the white chalk-cliffs of Dover--
and as they were blithely soaring over,
immersed in thought I'd lie
in calm repose upon that beach,
admiring their swooping forms,
evanescent, in fleeting storms,
like ballet...

Down a runway skybound
to cross a continent, 
see from a window
a city fall away
with bright beads 
strung along a coast,
then turning inland, 
clumped townships 
shrinking to solitary lights
sunk far apart
into hours
of featureless dark. 

Disconnected
from the...

Coma like consciousness resurfaces
Enclosed in a capsule shaped sleep chamber
A few vague abstract shapes pass and repass

Oxygen floods now obsolete chamber
The glass frame clicks and glides swiftly...

AND ON THE 25TH OF DECEMBER,

slaves of destruction some seven thousand strong
made into moles
tunnels miles, miles long

Lollipop kisses (sticky sweet)
Impress their nectar upon your whiskered cheek:
Your hand absently wiped away their adolescent aftertaste.

Despondent arms:
Outstretched for a reassuring (pretentious) hug
Grasp only the stale air of your indifference
Breathed upon my naively upturned face:
Smothered...

Sitting beside a noisy, restless creek,
rushing water over stones and green moss.
Often, these crazy days, thoughts seem to seek
places to hide from life's tumble and toss.

A meadow of wildflowers comes to mind;
running barefoot over non-brambled...

Misconceptions....
Or more to the point....
Lies.

For whatever reason,
   for whatever felt,
Hiding behind a veil
....of lies.

Is truth too hard to express?
Honestly too hard to give?
Love too much to ask??

Are dreams the thoughts of foolish men?

Alabaster orbs, translucent white;
Images of a cresent moon invade my view.

Stardust speckled (mystifies)
   hovering before me.
Numb, I struggle to shield my eyes
   from their unabashed display.

Determinedly taunting, they seek a hands...

Tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine,

Where love lingers on a warm caress,
   And hearts beat softly, without duress.
