life
we
must once hold
realms to
the
prelude of death
preferences we
should
hold none
-2-
when love
is
true
it is
blacker
than
midnight
-3-
among the trees you are the greenest
between the flowers you are the prettiest
among the poems you are the sweetest
between the songs you are the loveliest
among the rocks, the one I lean on
between the sunset, the day I long for
among the birds the one who flies highest
between the stars the one that sparkles
-4-
how lonesome you are in that
warm blue ecstasy
warmer than a first
kiss on valentines .
this crescent curve
the joy of my days, your sweet
respite more desirable
than the sun at its zenith
-5-
oh, pretty little flower
little tender rose
how resplendent you are
in this broken vase
for my true love
where she may give
you water
that when she sees you
smiling she remembers
-6-
in the re-awakening
we discover ourselves
besides the face
of the 21 st century
upon her raft in the ocean
drawn into the bossom
of the watery earth
until
my twilight zone
-7-
for the joy that she brings to me
for the attractiveness that attracts me
for that cute little smile
for that queenly bearing
for her understanding
for her elegance
for the love that flows
for the intelligence
for her delightful nose
for the etiquette
i’ll always be true to her
-8-
she’s a flower that blooms
every hour
my blazing anthurium
her tassels flicker
violet and amber
against my verdure stem
summer zephyrs chills
our trembling attire
leaving trails onwards
-9-
here
she
comes
swaying
upon
a melody
so
gracefully
finally
we
join
in
rev
el
r
y
kneeling before her presence
my altar of flesh
together we offer this innocence
-11-
my fountain, my beloved
her heart an open book
our light illuminates our dream world
overlooking scott’s head
she reads our favorite poems
-12-
then
we fell free from fear
that this sudden descent
would end
in an
emerald pool
that our day
dreams
are made of
-13-
and
then
time
was
swept
from under our feet
where nature once reigned
green and
supreme
kissed
our hungry eyes
on
moon-less nights
mountains stand stripped
tawny
as
mahogany
rivers
now dry as sticks
-14-
that morning we woke
to another day as if it
was creation morning
the
sun shone shining golden
just for us
we felt its ebullience
for the first time
-15-
waves
breaking
on
her
face
clouds
floating
in
my
eyes
-16-
records and novels
cups and saucers
streams bubbling
over rocks, to the
arms of my beloved
-17-
listen!
how she tells of
mankind
why the moon goes round
the earth
because jah made little girls
from spring
but little boys from surf
-18-
we thought to boast of
our special friend
ever so sweet. Sweeter
to us than our skin
ever so sweet
nearer to us than
our shadow
ever so close
we thought to boast of
our special friend
-19-
in
perfect solitude
the self
dives
into
the self
this peace, this serenity
blessed are
you
children of God.
-20-
she requesting
poems of friendship
speaking the
language of the kingdom of love
I with wistful face
yet
brighter than bright
meander through
little poems.
-21-
behind the rain-forest
lies a genuine soul trading
counterfeits for sweet little lies
such honesty from a captive spirit
an imprisoned spirit
an imprisoned self yearning to release
from this human jungle
mortal biped chained to a lamp post
squatting in shafts of immortal light
we witness victims of their own deceits
-22-
the heart that knows depths of love
may never be deceived
no matter what befalls the heart
it softly onwards proceeds
beneath the reefs, through rugged rocks
beset by sudden storms and gales
for only they who truly love
may survive these joyful pains
-23-
some crave experience
plunged into death-traps
only
the sagacious escape
some
fabricate alibis
encountering maxims in
crushed hearts
waiting endlessly
to release the law
to set the life-blood
free
-24-
can one purchase friendship
save it for a rainy day
do friendships forgive and forget
endure all things without regret?
-25-
i’m all alone
just i and I
maybe
because that fate
has alighted on me
i
wonder
what goes on in
your juvenile mind
for indeed
i
know
you are all alone
too
-26-
my loving respect that’s all
i want to give
forget your troubles tonight
it’s price is high above justice
forget your riches tonight
place your bodies right next to mine
forget your privacy tonight
come let’s build a home together
forget your loneliness tonight
-27-
i beloved and i
listen to the power of
the wind’s triumphant
serenade
as we linger
for the final climax
we kiss
then
turn our
backs on yesterday
-28-
without her
i can do nothing
without her
my spirit is weak
without her
a fish out of water is safer than me
without her
i am a lost continent
without her
days are kilometers of sand
without her
evenings grow colder
without her
this life is a snare
-29-
the
burden with
youth
is
that we hardly perceive
until enlightenment dawns
