Nights in Arabia
“I dream of green;
Then I dream of bronze;
I dream;
Oh;
I dream;
Of sunlit shafts;
And winding roads;
Of springtime blossom;
The squawk of crows;
I dream of sand and salt;
Of harsh sea winds;
;
Of eyes, slits of vision;
Held fast against the dark desert dust;
I dream of dunes;
Shifting and swaying with change;
Moving in time with the breath of the world;
I dream of oasis;
Of veils and strange women;
Of war and peace;
Of hawks, hunting prey in twilight;
Of conquest;
Pillage and plunder;
Of nights in Arabia;
;”

Sweet Summer Dear
“Locks of chocolate;
My sweet summer dear;
Eyes of bronze;
Her beauty I fear;
Cannot compare;
To any you know;
These words shall fail;
But on I must go;
For beauties sake;
I try;
Oh I try;
To capture my love;
Held earnest in eye;
Tender and fierce;
Her soul hot with fire;
I go without;
For my heart is in dire;
Need of such comforts;
As lovers embrace;
My sweet summer dear;
Oh please just erase;
This pain from my heart;
Plead people around;
From heaven to hell;
Or sky to ground;
My sweet summer dear;
Steals hearts with a glance;
Scrunches them up;
Then charges with lance;
Pierces and conquers;
Then throws without;
Loves exit the trance;
Words failed;
No doubt;”

“With muscle of lead;
But mind like iron;
With a heart of gold;
And passionate crying;
Come one, come all;
Here be pain;
Here be sorrow;
His midnight tears;
Are gone on the morrow;
Tired and weary;
His eyes do tell;
Those lies of courage;
Oh known too well;
To friends and foes;
Show no compare;
Brave wrinkled heart;
A-shock with care;
Fear and doubt;
Oh grip so tight;
So cry to me;
My sweet;
Goodnight;”

“In a world of busyness and action;
I am still. I am silent;
.
Noise of excess;
Of screeching tyres;
Of high heels on tile;
Of strutting skirts and sweeping suits;
Of running and impatient waiting;
I hear, and yet I do not;
Of tics and bells;
And whistles and alarms;
On and on, the reminders march;
I here;
I hear not”

“The naked moon, painted; Pink with envy. Stares greedily upon the land Dunes, moving in their turn. Call back to her from below; Her supple flesh, naught but a sliver, smiles shyly upon lovers wrapped in passion; On young babes, squealing in fright; Her fey light, dull and ghostly, entices young lithe bodies, whispering of wanderings; Of lonely clouds, of cirrus and cumulonimbus; of far off lands; Of exotic desert woman, with eyes of piercing marble, and veils of black pitch; Her lust, springs forth from her loins; And spills across the seas; Intoxicating sailors; And inciting miseries; Lonely nights of longing; Come quick upon their ships; Dreams of fine young women; With thick and supple lips; ”

“Slowly, his heart does beat; Quiet as the sea; On a cold starry night; Brisk and fresh, the air; Whispered on the wind; His love, hot; Like fire in the mouth of the cave; Shouts out to the darkening void; . Begging; Screaming; Oh pleading for respite;”

i the eye
“i;
A mirror;
Who’s eyes look inward;
Eyes searching for i;
Who is the i that searches, and who’s eyes do search for i?;
For what am i? But a mirror who searches inward;
Reflected back;
Unto the infinite;”

Rain undone
“Sold his heart, in a backstreet corner;
Dark and bleak, the tears of a mourner;
Slow yet steady, the shadows creep;
With silent steps, hear not a creak;
Come light of day, turn rain undone;
Come rays of sun, oh what fun;
Sky cracked wide, and earth closed over;
Blackened skin, bright supernova;”

“A new kind of man, of platinum and goretex;
With rough-cut stockings and passion for raw sex;
Hydraulic piston pumps;
A fuel injected genocide;
Fine wine and armiretta;
Came to try the wild side;
Smooth, fluid;
Lubricated pain delivery;
One quick prick;
A life of pain and misery;
Quick, slick;
Tender filth with caviar;
Serve rotting flesh with a little zest;
Call me fit to serve a star;
Rolex, stussy, Maybach, the top dollar;
No less than best, a pleasure quest;
Still the gutters hear him holler;
Glass screens with silent screams;
The desperate needs of youth
Old men cry, and they then die;
Oh why, oh why, no truth;”
