Short Bitumen Poems

I-re-le!
Home of bitumen,
Where men of tricks lay;
Born zeal with its women,
Like a blazing sun of a summer day.

Retreat
Love was sweet, when you were here,
though you are gone, an image dear,
Is looked for here,  my sweet,
When I’m out on the street,
Bitumen burns my feet,

saucy smoke smirks
gulping gaunt lurch
puking punctured bitumen
blurs bleeding bountifully
filling cloud's peeper
with whooshing phlegm

taunted track clothes
fiery ferments: glows
skate speed blows

voluptuous velocity's vibe
into dances drives
sassy soles thrive

mushy thoughts merges
speed, emotions surge.

We have walked together in the Australian desert at sundown
And we saw the nestling eagles in the trees settle down
When the blazing sun boiled the distant air of the horizon
We travelled towards this mirage on the bitumen run

On sparkling white sands and a cobalt blue sea
I have raced my love into the cool waters with me
At night under a chandelier of twinkling stars bright
We have laid together as the campfire crackled with delight.

Wearing a face-mask,apron + two pairs of heavy duty gloves,
her sihouette approaches the prepared nitric chamber.....
