Morning air Pins up eyelids Fresh manure Waiting, Like a plate full of warm hands The waiter serves coffee With palm trees around his neck At a table for one I sit staring out into the open chair Taking me away Tremble of love Scent of green forests Filter like your Africa hot summer Scribbled all over my body I was your drawing room Sheepish but full of silent passion Medium came to test us We followed arrows to the top Picasso catching us Into the earth’s heart Particles of words on the inside frame Did I wear every woman’s face? Glued to some abysses Did darkness take all interest? Where time sings good-byes I remember those red sky mornings Gossiping clouds slipping behind sun Eyes of roses raised But, oh did we have fun Dancing in a whirl of green liquor Loved to hear you laugh Feel your smile In those mornings of balloons & glue Under your nails Which sent chills to my soul Stamping your letters Return to sender Simply because Your smile was my chathedral choosing to remember rather then ask questions is my first task of the day... I lean back in my chair and smile feeling older...and liking it. |

You have a talent to express things outside the norm. This, is a very good thing. |

If this was a song it would be number one for at least a year. And always in the “Top-10.” Enjoyed Lee J. JL |

Lee Your writing is changing fairly fast. Seems almost as if you have found that peace. I still caught echoes of sacrifice in the words but you are really moving into something that I like. Dave |
