so much so that my name wither's,
sat in the sun too long,
beating down the strokes of my heart.

What we knew was it had been a hoax;
Were shocked and had so many strokes.

received a distant sad news

Life's canvas strokes many hues
splashed with fresh occurrences
brushing ink to bright--
on lines of bones, blood .

How was it, puppet? He whispers
Exquisite, say I, and he twinkles his eye
And bends to softly kiss her

Brush strokes take this paint,
I see our musical chairs;
Style flows like water;
Smelling the smoke and the wine,
You are indefinite art.

feel your skin against mine.
Taste your lips, feel your warmth
Let my my strokes translate what my heart feels.

tanned porcelain viewed
with gentle strokes I caress
her jet black mane captures me
