Prolific Kasmir Malevich
a diverse talent so very rich
'Resting*'with figuarative guile
a contrast with his abstract style

Reserata Carcerem Xlvi

*Reserata Carcerem XLVI*

Salient Sufi quondam was hexed;
haggard hags hoisted hurls 'n' were vexed,
apt alakazam gin behoved -
ere, he'd betrothed marred mercies thrown.

Pestered paddock anon hurled hymns,
pored panther knocked 'p gaunt 'n' gullible thrill,
apared asp pruned pulpy foils time tossed,
taunted trio 'n clumsy cauldron washed.

Sent they then wanky winds t' bear thence
ere sassy Sufi wh' loathed rec'mpense.
T' transient agora bore they him;
a felon furrow 'n an isle's lips.

Jolting judgement torn trio ñ him leased;
an attendant t' paddock 'n' asp's spree.

Love Letter From the Soul Xlvi

HB,

Steam stretches and stirs
in the great expanse 
of her pearl opulence

clear succumbs 
and clouds
the mirror mists over

I shower in the remoteness of love
each droplet dancing 
naked 
drowning upon my chest

painted lips cull
echo and envelop
the heartbeats

dripping down
a cut apart mystery

lights flicker 
I see the spots
encompassing 
a demure desire
filtering and flourishing
in the cracks of my soul

you sit at attention and sing for me
I kiss the wind
holding you in my mind
in my mourh
in each solumn breath 
I exhale

sleepless sullen serene

our senses remain still
the sun awakens
and rises


Love Letter From the Soul Xlvi

B,


As I lay still in the darkness 
before dawn shakes off her sleep, 
my fingers excitingly caress 
the beauty of your cheeks

it's morning that lies and listens
as I kiss you another good day 
each passage yet to be written 
in a sweet impassioned way

touches burning deeply
on worthiness they do graze 
awaiting undue attention 
in this Labyrinth of a maze

beheld my chest to wander
and wonder what it may
cutting through the cinders
where hearts have come to stay

the fires in the distance
and those held fast inside
burning brightly with surveillance
with the secrets I shall confide

whispers of the damning 
mysteries lighting up our sky
your hand homing for protection
naked our babes no longer cry

through the wetness that fills the breakwater
comfort resides in simplistic tones
no pretension in the parables
the beats felt all the way to Rome

I see the eclipse in the shadow of your moon

Super Bowl Xlvi

It’s been a great season with every run block pass and catch
Now its time for the best players to have their rematch
Eli looks for another ring while Brady wants four
The Pats look back to even the 2008 score
Grab you favorite snack and crack yourself a beer
Its game day for Super Bowl so get ready to cheer
Patriots or Giants who will eventually win
Who will be the world champions with the battle of the pigskin
Offense or defense what will win the debate
Will the G-mens  D seal the Pats fate
Will the Patriots offense score big we shall see
Which team will hold yet another Lombardi trophy
Coughlin or Bellichek whhat coach is the best
It should be exciting to watch this ultimate football test
So put on your jerseys and hats and make your picks
Enjoy yourself and may the best team win Superbowl forty six
