can her lips
eclipse
what’s hidden behind
not in the back
but the front of my mind
this love has the taste
of Mediterranean grapes
that’s how I know
we’re bound to be great

“Wander Lust and The Need For Adventure”

Showered in soft kettle-drums
Music softly eddies
To purple robed hills
Melody wanders toward 
The streaming chant of 
Mediterranean Sea.

The moors seduced
The Sahara Desert Mountains
Mastered the Mediterranean Sea
Keepers of the flame
Custodian of Egyptian knowledge
Their horses made of moonlight
The world shall never be the same...

Truck One
Red
With its job soon to be done
Sleep soon ahead

Truck Two
Blue
Many shortcuts its gone through 
Yet still overdue

Truck Three
Big
By the Mediterranean sea
It drives with a jig

Drowning
A fledgling flew, 
alas, wings to small and weak
it landed in a puddle
and quickly drowned. 
Tiny tot too dies easily
in ponds
lakes
rivers 
bath tubs
and in the Mediterranean Sea 
only few of them
die by accident.

Lifting her beautiful heart to my lips 
The seabreeze her velvet truth; archaic..
Wrapped warmly her breath, about my breast
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams...
Sliding sensually across my kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne....

Lifting her beautiful heart to my lips.... 
Their sea breeze her, velvet truth; archaic 
Wrapped warmly my breath about her breast ?
A glistening matrix, silk of cream as beauty she dreams
Sliding sensually across poetic's kiss; drinking, love's pink champagne....

Her beauty's free flowing soft vanilla hips..
Velvet cream, gliding joyfully above my lips
Daylight peeking past the shades her breast
My tongue tasting our love these eyes gazing
Chasing butterflies floating by her cries gentle
Warmth caressing my kisses glistening she sips....

My hand is drawn to your olive breast
I feel the swelling in my palm
Your hard soft curves exciting
My pulse begins to race
Your lips glistening
Invite my kiss
Two bodies
Become
One

her eyes is as rich as olives
her curves as delicate as a pear
her hair as the trickling waterfall
her skin as tan
her scent is olives, pomegranate, peaches, strawberries, and raspberries
her love drowns me in fire
if i can only be with her
only just for a minute
my life is complete...

Are Catastrophes

Are catastrophes
God save people from them please
I pray on my knees.

Were poor souls drowning
Mediterranean Sea
Am glad was not me.

God saved our each soul
Greatest story ever told
As it did unfold.

He asked for directions
It was a train ride and a walk that mirrored mine
We were apart on the train
My minimal sociability
We met in the roar of passengers
A second offer of navigational help was given
We strolled with small introductions and talked
The ticket office prompted our fission
A Mediterranean farewell

She danced amid layers of mystique; her tiny palms...
Cupping these dreams ? Pure this dove; bluetide mirrors
An island girl mediterranean, sands soft it's light in ivory pearls
Silhouetted shades her gaze a camera's view ? Silk fingertips tracing
My love for you ? Aside butterflies kissing red roses; sweet nectars, for two....

Take me to Crete,
or take me to Rhodes
Please Mediterranean 
me in my soul
Salt me in waters
which lapped at the feet
of every sentinel
army's defeat
Blue me in atmospheres
sun up my core
Forgetting me there
makes me just want it more
Take me to Rhodes,
or take me to Crete
Please Mediterranean
me to complete......

I'm a fresh pastry made with different fillings
A plate of me will cost you a few shillings
Sometimes made with spinach and ricotta cheese
Topped with tomato sauce and fresh, green peas
It depends, my pockets are sometimes filled with salmon and cream
I am the Mediterranean dream
I am solely
The one and only Ravioli !

My Dad Really Did Die

My dad is buried in the sea so deep, 
Off of Sicily where he now does sleep;
God, there please comfortably keep, 
While I am counting more sheep.

Sun-kissed City,
named the American Riviera,
a princess wearing a cape of mediterranean climate,
a pacific pearl,
now 
a hostage
to the mountain's plunder,
the backdrop of fire ravaged hills,
where the prayers of the locals
hold the debris flow intact
until 
the next rain
could again
lead a death artillery of boulder
down into it's path.

If you play enough of the game of Monopoly,
then you will know your way around Atlantic City.
You will see the avenues of Mediterranean and Baltic.
There are also Illinois, Tennessee, and Pacific.
From the inlet to Chelsea, it is all terrific.
However, there is one thing I would like to know:
Where do you collect $200 for passing “GO”?

BICHON FRISE
Bichon frise or is it curly lapdog you prefer?
Pray, do make it known
Descendant of a water spaniel originating in ancient times
In the Mediterranean area
Used as barter by sailors
Your solid white coat is silky profuse
Not silky confuse
I get it now
You are prized for your lively intelligence
And is usually groomed and trimmed 
To give a “powder puff” appearance.

CRIMSON

Bougainville… 
white washed
walls of hidden 
hedonism
cobble stones of
past unknowns
Mediterranean
mysterious 
Islands of
indulgence
salt and sea



a serene
version of you
and me placid
crimson hopes and
expectancies
lie in veiled
secrecy 
the darkness
of disturbed
observances
clandestine
