Amour en Vain I am the mystery in the dark The nightmare that haunts forever A Casanova under streetlights The one not completely understood Yet sometimes misconstrued So I take this bow Before I begin to make amends Tinkering and mixing concoctions In my alcove just beyond my soul’s reflection Relying on my fantasies and memories To create my own perfection Without the power of God and angels And those things written in books I have the recipes written on my body The finale of artist and lover After rough drafts and scarred hearts Seeped onto my canvas of silken skin Purposely organized and cryptic tattoos Reminders of mistakes and sins Lovers and infatuations Innocence and forgiveness All these ingredients I churn in my imagination Adding the magic of golden roses The misty saturation of lilac water and sunshine Fragrances of fresh apples An ounce of her sweet treasures And lastly, The essence of all those tears, Before they whispered, “Goodbye”.

As your words moved over my lips, the sweet taste of hunger left pleasant the memory of sate. Your works have become very powerful, in their emotions and imagery.  Nice to read you again and again! |
