This suave way
|
Can it be . . . this suave way? His . . . Hand touching my long fingers Smile opening my lips Gaze breaking my heart Body turning me into a torch?
Can it be . . . this strange way? My . . . Word, a phrase that he keeps finishing Steps that sound like his . . . Expression that I can see on his face Desire that is bringing to me his power?
I know, he knows how our words and voices Have been filling the air of deeds of love. I am mortal and great, I found my world, now a bit larger And for him my miracles are also known . . .
| | | I see through you . . . I AM . . . I AM . . .
| I AM . . . I AM . . . Do not fake me I am and he knows . . . He will wait . . .
He wants me happy and sure . . . He wants me glittering in the rain In the storm My hair electrically enraged
He wants me in the mountain, Embracing the deep vale He wants me sure of love, of passion He wants me fantastically alive . . .
I AM A WOMAN That shines now and ever . . . It's me obsessively me Dancing with my flowers, sublime, warming each petal With my hands, without touching . . . So delicate they are . . . and invisible veils covering them . . .
I wait in front of my door and say It's open for you . . . for me as well . . . I am one only one . . . the child that cries . . . The stiletto woman reading poems of love . . .
I am the woman that listens . . . Chorales waving through meadows I am . . . Dare me, braking the mould of the past Fearful to step and lose
I AM A WOMAN Dotted of clothes that love me . . . Knocking down no ending pavements with my hills Giving a drop of water to one chrysalis
I splatter tears on my mirror Reborn, back as woman on his voice, Sweating youth through the vapour Rounding alleys down like a southern gitana
I AM A WOMAN
I am . . . Today I feel and I suffer Tomorrow I feel and I bliss
|  | | Find
|
A name in your garden, ready to be planted A face in your canal, ready to be stirred A heart in your mirror, ready to be burst . . .
| | | And my refuge
| |
And my refuge, where is it now? Where to find those sweet arms? Enveloping me in an effulgent desire Dark steps down and up of orange juice . . . Tastes of love and satin In days of rose, green mirrored water And tongues spiking candid bodies . . .
Yet a mind free - soiled? On trust lost? Or blood deterred in cold spirit? Giving all, yes, yet feeling less . . . Not in her world, love full of lust Trapped, I? Perhaps a battled mind.
|  | | Promise
|
I have promised to be with you . . . And I am with you . . .
Ah, the glitter . . . the woman that just left the scent still lingering the last movement of the neck the chin, ah . . . the chin . . . up . . . always up!
It is not cold
The eyes blink twice, more . . . how many?
The Sun?. . . it does not die for her, it surrenders and with it the world outside . . .
Hers!
| | | Ah, woman
|
Ah, woman that holds my hands Slįinte(s) me each time our Merlots meet Plunges her blue eyes into mine, touches my hands Fired up fingers feeling me wholly Brings surrounding attention to us Our bodies daring enthused . . .
Faces touching The gasp after a sought breast touching me An arm feeling desire gulping through her skin . . .
Ah, woman of hot desires Waking memories of free encounters Revelations of bygone pleasures . . . Rules of love - published electronically . . .
A rose nipple, entrance of delight Mouths sealing avid the rendezvous My first taste of her, delightful nectar Eyes in the eyes bringing her to ecstasy . . .
Ah, the post-revelation of her youth When unzipped-jeans turned into beauty And the past had been removed to bring The moment, a zenith, a crescendo erected Between two sips in two far Café Rouges . . . | | | After tears of love
|
When love is loved One hour, two whole seconds Days roaming by, as water in a canal Two orange ducklings passing Going up and down - gliding Under the black-green shadows . . . And getting far and lost Making nights deeply bright Smiles running inside of each other Opening tastes of ecstasy Remake each dance astounding Nothing left but you and me Yet, seeing each other in a mirror As one, we were and can be So much . . . so much and being A word inside . . . life A word inside . . . passion | | | The soul of the wind filling up three sails passing by
|
The soul of the wind filling up three sails passing by Fell asleep at your doorstep ringing tones of red dye A dummy googling up for a child crowning windows ajar And steps dot steps wrenched one two three haikus so far | | | Haiku I
|
Craziness ahoy, Ebullient Irish, yes A world, not a bit. | | | Haiku II
|
Flames in my heart,
Forest in awe, the flower
Which way to our cross?

Sweet love, can I open my heart for you As I never did before Now that love and life found a way And future is no more Only a ghastly word? |
