Filled with teardrops of pain and sorrow,

Exposes its fangs from a sleeve of gold
Shakes the Venice beaches to the apocalypse of Viet Nam

Black leather pants wrapped around Apollo

Another Sunday evening at the street-corner
next to the coffee parlour, overlooking the ocean
The solo pianist  with desert-lime eyes

Lovingly walking, talking, strumming guitars,
A feeling, a moment that thrilled two hearts…ours.

Glittering light in the blackness...

The December sun fought
to shine through the golden clouds
and reach the frozen trees
under a bright marigold sky;

When I look at you
Those the almond shapes of you eyes, view 
Your small head those African braids 
The sometime styled bum a top your head
