Voyeuge
Spring in Brussels
I think it was
And cosied at communal table
Morning drinking tea goddess
purple (I think it)
Silk shirt I think it was,
Unbuttoned, but lacking
Correct insurances, drawing
From my gauche young eyes
Inappropriate stare.
Loveliness does not at all
Equate to heartliness;
And following my unfortunate
-
gaze earth inheriting pink tips
Jammed violently far from view.
What would my maturer self do now
Faced with the same dilemma,
When all solutions are wrong?
I think a quiet hand on shoulder:
Can you lend tea, your buttons
loose;
and hopes shed patrol what
should be Persian Garden : not
Gulag, with first prisoner poet
for the noose!
-
But on this lambent
image Ive long dwelt in pensive moments:
diffuse in ache for real heartsong!
Age comes on and
constants jigger, slide away the vast
imperatives of youth...
Now I live in Eternitys shadow,
in equipoise with what
eternal goddesses
wear !

Prospect
As if you were located
At some vantage point
Never far away :
Wonderfully still, and secretly
Linked ;
And we view each new sunrise
Come and go
In a shared appreciation of the soft
-
Flowerings of time,
As if it had always been like this ;
The texture of each new era
Unclear, like a fishs eye:
Infinite in its milky luminescence,
Halcyon moment
Perched on edge of blue tinged
sky.
