on a wall
not imagery
for leaving me
lost with innocence
and weeping

DAWN OF QUICK PURSUITTis brisk, this love, that rounds her abs with haste.
With dawn of quick pursuit, she trembles light.

Her long locks, bind, grab hold the sun, excite.
Too soon, the moon,...

The Death of LoveAll she wanted was love, but he
forgot the dreamy days of yore.
Gone were those sweet caresses,
Gone were the walks hand in hand,
Gone was any passionate lovemaking.
All sentiment evaporated into bank accounts,
and soon he found others...

in my candlelit room I am in a meditation and total withdrawal
and I am travelling back, back, back in time with a sad sigh

a quest to find myself againThe days were brighter then,
When without the slightest effort, I’d succeed in making a good impression.

The Waitress
In the dim-lit corner of a forsaken cafe,
I dwell alone, as time slips away.

A fleeting moment,...

Sometimes, when I exhale puffs of...

like the tender words which ere he
whispered to me, so did beguile
to let him stay a little while
and dine the night from my fruit tree.
We’ll sail my yacht, we two, said...
