As colorful rainbows walk across the sky, in buttery hours, turned languorous.

I enjoyed doing practical fieldwork, and establishing useful literary programs,
As the honeysuckle sun loves...

So far beyond good!
In gigantic glasses,with ice chips.
It was as good as an Ouzo on the rocks!

Making me cry and sigh, untill I die,

Just a hasty taste, of all the pleasures I've chased.

seems as if everybody gotta have it
Possessing something
that gives such elevated status

Desired for the inordinate attention it bring
Ownership of something
that raises the personal profile

A haze… 
Languorous oft in summer days 
Where sundrops drip 
From melting skies 
Onto city grind
