Sigh

If I sigh I will bleed
And if I bleed something will cry
I would rather it swelters in the undying heat, 
ice in the brazen freeze, 
and stay the stolen relief 
but not cry. 
I would rather it cease...

Jasmine

Lost in her oasis
The contours of her skin
Desire swelters
Bathing sun glazed sin

A portrait of beauty
Temptation frames her back
An hourglass of divinity
Her sweet innocence intact

Autumn is in her hair
And springtime on her hips
Yet winter cannot taste
The jasmine on her lips

Eyes savor the splendor
Dripping from summer’s vine
Hands harvest my passion
Washing lust from this love of mine

Summer smashes Spring

Summer smashes into Spring with violent heat that leaves the air in a hazy daze.  All of the tender, green rain-draped brilliance of young foliage giving way to the drab, sunbaked drowsy green that swelters and gasps for rain all through Earth's yearly simmering.  Boiling and drying in invisible and malicious rays, all green tends to brown and lush tends to shrivelled.  And so shall oppressive the weight of this season be.  Yet, Autumn comes.

New York Summer

Sticky, humid, skin
Sweltering inferno blaze
Summer has no wind

The flies are dizzy
Joy hums from each piazza 
Two views of day's rot

The hydrant founts glee
No rain promised in the sky
Water is respite here.

The tongue flakes songs
Lovers returned to the parks
Love sparks a new flame

Dreams burn in desire
The heart pants for new friendships
Pale male on his spire.

Summer has no wind
The city swelters without rain
And love blooms again.
