A Kiss On The Wall Of The Moon...

 

Despite the incantations of winter's cold,

I endured its curses and embraced separation...!

On the shores of its enchanting orbit,

my fingers are freed to bite into its unripe fruits

whenever I mount those moving images...

that invade my imagination,

empty except for the rebellion of seductive women,

as she runs with her femininity... to occupy

the distances of my lost cosmic existence,

and tames the seagulls

with doses of indifferent desire,

and shatters the ends of promises

with a broken smile that knows no bounds,

the hands of fleeting time...

to embrace a cloud perfumed with the last kiss

left by a raging storm on the wall of the moon.

 

The Nectar Of Love...

 

I remember well the mercy of absence

When your abundant birth removed,

From behind the curtains of rocky intrusion...

That swing no longer

Sings between the ribs of my ink,

And my poetry no longer dances for the branches.

The rhythms of weeping are rusty,

Upon the strings of a winding specter

Driven by the hum of time...

With the popping of pregnant bubbles,

And this raging wave

Combs the braids of sunlight,

Preparing for the harvest of approaching sunset

With the convolutions of the splitting colors of twilight,

To cross the gate of a hidden call,

Barefoot...

Spiders prepare their scream for escape,

Stung by the chaos of postponed reverence,

Within the tremor of midnight,

To a preferred distance in the flow of the saliva of patience,

When the dream distances itself from its secrets. ...Like wet lines emptied by a straight line,

you gasp at the fall of my pleasure,

before the collapse of that contradictory pride.

I will leave my mark upon your waist,

melting like an hourglass...

You scrutinize the intoxication of the sharp tips of my fingers

after they have given life to your breasts.
