LOVE

His message to meet
at moonrise among flowers
sparkles a secret
on her smiling face passion
glows with charming fervour

PERFUMED BAR

They may be arbiters of good taste
and denounce my aesthesis or ignore
what I created all these years:

there's poetry in failed ejaculation
or cowardice in a woman's company
not all will dare to talk about

it's weakness which stares in the face
when truth is wrapped in silence and love
is negotiated in a perfumed bar

MY GAWD

Psalms or no psalms
workers of iniquity
shoot their arrows
with praising lips and God
flees to see their shrewd schemes

REALISATION

Men or women
no living gods:

the soul has no sex

the form, the body
and the name unreal

the climax of eternity
denudes the mind
