About Me:: To be

I wanted to be …
silvery strings
and golden streams
of kisses breathed in
gossamer and refined

I wanted to be…
a Muse with butterfly’s wings
a devil whose body has no blemish
breathe instead of you even without breath
in wakeful nights to give you solace

I wanted to be …
a Vamp, to mingle blood with blood
to claw you as a savage
to teach you not to look back.

I wanted to be ….
the Lyre altered by your fingers
in a gentle chord
so that you could sing
into the universe without disgrace

I wanted to be….
Nova moon’s ballerina
dance on your body till I faint
reverse your hell of forgetting

I wanted ....
To be you... in you...

....thee

in a blare of meteors on stars
to make the bed
rise without reason...
in quiet…to smile

I wanted to conquer you
and be defeated ..
…I wanted to be yours ....

Why have I wanted it at all?

Blessings,

At 11:09am on April 29th, 2008, Linda Rose said…: Thank you so much for the welcome. Your paintings are gorgeous. I am just learning to paint in watercolor.
MY very best friend emigrated to the states when the Russians were moving in in 1968. MY children all have been to your country. My middle son painted cathedrals. He's been all over the world, and Chechoslovkia and Thailand were his favorites. Tell me---what price range are your paintings?

I went to Zimbabwe with him. He is the leading infectious disease doctor in the States. We worked for 5 weeks in a make-shift hospital, 100 beds, 125 degree weather, dirty sheets, no food, little water, and we brought enough meds and water to help these poor children, all dying of AIDS. Three were able to leave. The rest died while we were there. I am trying to recover the images and poems I wrote while I was there. It was a very humbling experience.

Would love to know more about you!

I would love to visit there sometime, I am a big fan of Josef Sudek, The Poet of Prague I saw one of his photo exhibitions at the the M.F.A. here in Boston. Since then I have tried to make my photography as poetic as my verse.Hopefully better.
