Love is non-mechanical
it doesn’t crank, pinion
or always work dependably.
In cavalier moments, I thought I knew
something of how it all works—
it’s apertures and shafts—
its grinds and reciprocations.
I’d judge it’s motions
work its levers, judge its spins,
and address its slippery angles.
You could call me obsessive
but obsessive people don’t
obsess this much.
You could call me compulsive
but the compulsive aren't
this compulsive.
All I can do is poise, balance
or swipe a little black credit card.
It’s the only magic I have.
I can’t turn bread into wine
or fish into water.
I can’t make the blind walk
the deaf to see or the lame to
taste again.
God reserves some miracles,
keeps them as close to the vest
as cards.
Jugglers work the circus,
mimes thrash to communicate,
and tightrope walkers fall.

Walking along with you from red to yellow
Sun - you are my first orange obsession
Seen my desires floating with the tangerine clouds
And my love drizzles on your marigold heart
Never felt oppressed by orange until you wore it
Your burning orange look made me follow you
Up to the endless crepuscule of my bohemian life
And at night I see the orange on your forehead - as bindi
Spreading my love through the middle of your head
With vermilion showing off your reciprocations
Although I have tasted oranges from my childhood
In different forms like juices, marmalade spreads and so on
I got it best when your lips touched mine
Orange, I found you always in my inspirations dawn

Demented movements,
Reciprocations of rage,
Frantic gestures,
Livid, sultry eyes enraged,
Rushing sensations igniting
Within a heart beset
With parasites of aggravation,
Incensed, repressed by a
Rigid inflammation,
Scarlet flesh bleeding
Upon ashen skin,
Tormented within,
Hence inhabited…
