a moorish man

against the red hills of marrakesh
enters the garden
like a moon

bends down and

takes her hand
kisses it

slowly
never moving his eyes
from hers

here

on the ocean
in the fall
the shadows stretch long down the sidewalks
gold light
blur of umber and sienna your

chalk blue eyes

making a
seafarer of me
in my boat of solitude

i rest

my oars
and will know when
you lift yourself

from sitting

and take my hand
onto your
mouth.

This is your most stunning piece - imbued with such incredible sensuousness and passionate sadness.

These words took me to places , times and feelings instantly and overwhelmingly. Your gift for describing intimacy almost exceeds comprehnsion. Love. Wanting love. Feeling love. Seeing Love. Imagining Love. We're all in the same vessel of solitude together. For better or for Iceberg.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
