Someday you will understand
The outer sheen
Is nothing compared to inner beauty.
Because all from outside is until
The first rain ...
While what's inside
Is always shining!
Someday you will understand
Many statements
Are just empty sets of words.
Only those ones are true
That are coming from your heart.
Someday you will understand
That kindness and tenderness
Are manifestation
Of inner strength,
Not weakness.
Someday you will understand..

seduction
white hot
metal draining
tango
kiss my shoulder
breathe
arch
percussive shock
spoke tight
flesh to press
blade sharp

Please tell me sommelier
Is there in your wine list
Such a wine, where
There is a taste of rain
And taste of sun light,
A bit of childish joy,
A bit of sadness
And aftertaste of youth?
No madam, I regret ,
We don't have such bouquet,
The only i can offer you
Is vodka

it has rained enough
spilling its torrent
lightning heavy
in the back country
haven
barefoot child
mud running
eels gaze
while the lamps
of the fisherman
shimmer
tomorrow
we will smoke
them whole
my friends
sunned skins
and roll the grubs
over the ashes
feast we may
for this what
the river brings
and the earth
has nurtured

Woman, rise up and assert your power
For generations you have been suppressed
Let the world know this is your hour
There are certain issues to be addressed
In dealing with areas of dispute
You tend to be much more tolerant
Making you more likely to find the truth
And well suited for management
You have shown in the field of education
Regardless of the area of learning
You can hold your own against men
Yet workplace equality is lacking
Woman, rise up and assert your power
For generations you have been suppressed

Take my hand and follow me
Lets get together down this steep path
There is so much comfort knowing you
Following in your foot steps
Life is more than just finding a direction
Calculating numbers or doing the math
It is exploring the unknown where
Your presence is everywhere
Enveloping me with encouragement
Understanding yourself in my shoes
Not some harsh criticism ever cast
But a tender and generous word or two
And always a helping hand

walking in Salzburg
Wolfgang Amadè Mozart
distant violin
an old piano
broken keys and tangled wire
good wine, sweet music

from a youth
where muscle had abounded
and they had drank heartily
to the claims
of scandalous deeds
once bedroom bold
swarthy
men who drove iron pegs
men who worked the docks
men who herded cattle
out on the frontier
now sullen
pigeon-hearted
down to a single hair
thin men, fat men
all beaten inward
forced to absorb it all
consigned to the benches
of the world
stoic however
like an orchestra enduring a light rain
mercifully trying to keep to the bar
as the mist
sweeps through the arches

a servant of salt
she docks on the old jetty
timbers in the sun
topaz delights me
sets the rhythm of the night
to the chase I'm born
Aristotle's virtues
a field of mountainside flowers
making of a man

The stillness of cloud
A breathless silence of wind
Warmth of winter sun
A moth in night light
A gecko’s dinner tonight
Through the window pane
Lazy are the days
Awaiting the suns warm rays
Upon gazebo
