Long Mount vesuvius Poems

thine eyes, and the heat from the
very earth...

I returned home after forty years to my home island of Hawaii. Its preferred nickname is the Big Island, lovingly a.k.a., the Orchid Isle, and yes, a.k.a., the Volcanic Island. Rightly named as the sole...

Flora

Season of love and natural propense,
In youthful exuberance with wholeness of innocence;
When Flora casts off her wintery shroud and bursts into flower,

one is astonished by the sea and...

We met online
both from 
the same city
lovely dark skinned woman.

Eyes like black pearls
skin smooth as velvet
I went to her house
like magnets we clicked...

an intimate encounter..

Something adventurous
from a 
cunning...
