Morning Song

It is not the morning come too soon
...For the sands in the hourgalss fall too fast...
An hour, at least 'tis left my love
...So what shall we do 'til dawn has cast?
Perhaps lift the veil once again?
...Sample the fruit just one more time?
And then serenly bask in the aferglow, 'til then?

Remembering Marilyn

Some Liked It Hot
On the set
With Marilyn;
Her sultry
Heavy-lidded eyes
Radiating
Come hither looks;
Her breathless
Whisper of a voice
Still resonates
Yesterdays
Echos in
Madison Square Gardens:
'Happy Birthday Mr. President'
It was to be
Her last song;

I Dont Miss You Much

I don't miss you much
Even though
I still cry
At the sound
Of your name
Still get butterflies
When i remember your smile
Still feel empty
When i look out the window
At all of the people
And still think
I see you
In everyones face

Now And Then

It's a sweet mystery of life...
How you decrease the distance
Between two points
By swallowing my smiles
Devouring my words
Sparking endorphins
Coaxing bits of sensuality
Out of thin air
Then handing them to me
With love
Suddenly
Life tastes sweeter...

Delight...

It was a Summer of laughter
Of wooded fragrance
Of the oceans deepest blue
And the shorelines pure alabaster
Mingled in reveries of sweet joy and you
And as destiny would have it
What seemed like a lifetime, of love,
Unlike we two ever knew!

Thine Handsome Face

Before i knew thine handsome face
Ignorant i'd been in the dark
Trembling finger tips caressed my weary brow
Leaving a golden embellished mark

For then what 'tis it- The firmament has?
That cannot be found within your Soul?
Into the Light of your pure handsomeness i am
And out i am from this abyss-like hole!

Storm

The inclement night raged--
Against the uneven pulse of the city-
Tearing down its bastions...
The night terrors ravaged...
In thunderous overtones--
Black skies turned gray
Sky broken by hail--
Lightening strikes twice
In its own oblivious
Unmerciful claps--
At last finding the calm...
Agosto is waiting Ismael;

Light Years

Bear not the night
As being your fate
For 'tis the death
Near Hell's molten gate;
Let not your heart
Be influenced of dark
For nigh 'tis the light of day
For bright 'tis your spark;
Evil 'tis not your place
For you embrace the sky
An Angel in the making
When Heaven 'tis nigh;

Word Flame

...Writhing in untamed delight...
I sear your name
...A brand 'cross the fence of my heart...
Scorched and rendered in
Your Flame
...Gravitating towards your longing noun
I've compiled loaded verbs just
For You
...In the heat of passion's vocabulary...
Coraled and harnessed
...Awaiting Our Ride For Two...

Gone Missing

He got lost in her baby blues...
And in her twist and turn curves
He became totally rapt by the sultry of her voice
Laid down in the humidity that is loves afterglow;
When desire and necessity have been fully met
And conclusion has arrived at its goal
He was completely taken in-
By his very own-'Must have soul';
