Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long

a bitter
ache to bear . . .

There are canyons in his face.

A Prodigy In Pieces

A boy and board in Brooklyn
bedeviled by the breath of baroque battles
bemused with a belligerent brain beauty
and befriended by battlefield bravado, 
the chessmen championed his ego
wickedly warring to a visionary's voodoo,
those soldiers of black and...

Twilight, the frolicking hour of the nocturnal animals.
A curtain of gray melancholy slowly shuts out the sun.

Then all is dark.  The master artist knew what He...

marooned and castaway
stealing and scrapping kept the hunger at bay

Continued from Part 1
Ah Consuela! I’m watching the vertigo veiling her green Spanish eyes,

Health of a nation
See the old and young station

But turned to gusts the tree heaves

Until fury oppressing
Stops your regressing

Pebble, rock, boulder

Just illusions, you are still in handcuffs, shackles...

The Poet
by Hermann Hesse

The shadows of vagabond clouds
Float like dreams...

under that greedy summer sun.
