Excerpt
THE MAN
Turning blood to water
Gold to lead
Wine into tears
Gave him
A kind of
Mystical quality
A few bowed heads
Here and there
Some knelt
Others prayed
My role was less important
The dry-eyed
Cynic, uncompromising
Believing little
Questioning everything
It all changed though
For he told good stories
Talked of peace
Levitated a little
And walked on water
It was then
I really began
To take notice
As tricks turned
To miracles
Hungry masses
Were fed
The dying
Brought to life
A blind man
Saw a sunset
Cripples walked
Disease-ridden bodies
Began to dance
But what really
Swung it
For me at least
Was the promise
Of immortality
Safe in a paradise
Fit for poets
And just next door
A harem of whores
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
