This is my English translation of "L'Invitation au voyage" ("Invitation to the Voyage") by the French poet Charles Baudelaire. It's a poem he wrote for his soulmate...

Invitation to the Voyage
by Charles Baudelaire
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

My child, my sister,
Consider the rapture
Of living together!
To love at our leisure
Till the end of all pleasure,
Then in climes

Opulence

We saw some hieroglyphics
And some beaded Native art,
Some instruments of music
With their coolness off the chart;

The Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit
And some armor from the past,
All admired and enjoyed although
We zipped through kind of fast.

The only place we lingered was
Where varied rooms were staged
Showing how the wealthy lived,
Our grandson totally engaged.

The lighting dim, the papered walls,

October Opulence

Overwhelming, onset of October
            Ogling old owls
            Overjoyed with orange overgrowth
            Overtakes obsidian opulence.

Gossamer Labyrinths' Agone Opulence

Once agone moments in time
        she was poetry in motion,
   'til she pirouetted herself
         onto dusty versed shelves
     midst old clouded rhymes
          & recollected love

In Opulence You Lie and Dream

In opulence you lie and dream
Of nothing but your Harem Queen
Her honeyed eyes and silky thighs
Those sultry moans and sated sighs
You dream of touching rounded breast
Of dipping into lover’s nest
The scent of jasmine on her bed
You feel her kiss anoint your head
The giddy taste of flowered dew
And all the things she does to you

In opulence
