Baku and a Swedish cook

Baku and the Swedish cook 

It sounds impossible, but 72 years ago, I was
a galley-boy on an old tank ship loading
oil for Iceland, a country with watery beer 
Baku, I remember the long avenue, empty
of people and poorly lit.

The cook and I had gone ashore, and we were 
the only one who dared me, because I had
not been

I Am Swedish

I am Swedish so I have no concept of warmth,
Yet my heart has been touched by a thousand degree

Gum was taken by cupid's spicy dart,
An amorous wind resting through Duino's trees

Who is his lover? Who has his hand?
Who will feel his lips when Mensa's food 
is bland?

And how will the rest of us ever compare,
to

A Rendezvous With a Swedish Girl

I remember very clearly a rendezvous’! 
It was with a nineteen-year-old Swedish girl on holiday with her friend. 
They had a room in the hotel I worked in. 
My colleague and I, a barman, 
became friendly and we used to go out together 
That is how we dated these two sisters. 
 
We took them

Filippa and Fred

Filippa loved her bright-eyed horse.
His name was Fred, his mane was coarse.
They galloped back and forth to school.
When shoes got loose, she’d use a tool.

Filippa’s Fred was loyal and fine.
He was sixteen, and she was nine.
Swedish, they both loved life.
She played a flute. He played a fife.

Swedish Saga

Swesish Saga

Gerda left Sweden with an odd liking for turnips.
She claimed hard labor ruined her hands.
She hated her father.
Fritchof walked like an ex-sailor.
He had a vein-blue tattoo on his left hand.
He once sailed the Red Sea and grew a mustache.

They met in Vancouver. A brown wedding oval preserves
her stiff upper lip, his doubting earnestness.
She made

Swedish Beauty

I'm a 
Swedish beauty
Born in 
poverty
With eyes 
so green
And cheek bones
so high
You wonder
at the structure
Of DNA gone by
My hair is silk
running through
the breeze
And
If you touch it
your fingers wil
slip through it
My skin is tan
with freckles
woven in
and my smile
is white
with straight teeth
to look apon
at moons delight
and my body is
purely a sight
with small beasts
upturned and
inviting
saying please
look apon me
you

Swedish Flower

Swedish Flower
Hair blonde,eyes blue.it couldn't grow in dark and cold Stockholm without having sunny hair and oceanic eyes in it self.
if i had a Swedish flower in my garden i would make it warm with the heat of my heart and i would give it water with my tears.
If i had a Swedish flower,if...if... .

As Swedish Lightning Enters

As Swedish lightning enters
Renders day from deepest night
And (soulful) wishers beg
Mortgaging their tearful fortunes
For an ounce of pure spiritual bullion
With happy veins glistening
Truth, honor, sufficient respect
Among the smelted ore
Ready for mold and use
Pass me down
The spirit roars
Throw me selflessly into the frenzy
That needs the slightest taste
Where spirit climbs
Wind lifting it above the caroling
Desperate chorus
They sing

Swedish Fish

Soft and chewy, cute and red;
They won’t wedge in your teeth.
You can chew them and not fear
They’ll get stuck underneath.

Jelly beans and licorice
And taffy tend to stick.
Jujyfruits wreak havoc
So they’re not the sweets to pick.

But Swedish fish and gummy bears
Are perfect for a chew.
If you need a sugar rush,
Well, either one will do.

Chocolate has its
