(1) Bitter Sweet


There she was
just a few feet away

Glossed lips
Powdered face
Faux lashes
Contoured cheeks

We locked eyes
then she looked away
cold and distant

Maybe she was
tempting me
to walk in her fire

She was sweet
like sugar

Sugar is what tempts us
pouring upon
our wildest fantasies

Sugar gives us cavities
rots our teeth
our soul
our world

It seems
vanity is
always in style...


(2) Eternal Return




Within the nightly beach wind
my tear soaked path
is renewed with splendor...

Under the moonlit sky
the stars light her black hair...

Surely
she waits...

My new found love
drive away the tenacious evil
the bats of hatred, malaise and anger
the greed of pure lust
from the belfry of my thoughts...

Jasmine incense of answered prayers
I contemplate you
burning all night on the alter
of my lonely heart...

Continuously my passion breath
does not hesitate to chant your name...

From these eyes the Gulf wind
roars and stirs turbulent waves
while I wait for you
to count the stars with me...

My life has been an endless winter
bring to me a warm Spring embrace
do not allow the eternal snow
destroy the tender shoots of love...

Return lover of lovers
pull from me
this poisoned Cupid's arrow
from this your eternal devotees
smitten heart....
