		<description><![CDATA[evening
the pohutukawa
grows into the
sky the cool
sea-lighted wind
a graft
of stars.
a verandah
the inset dark
on the walls
like a cloud’s
thunder-blade facade
lock you against
the silence.
streetlamps
corrode the iron
sleep stain the
curtains in
rusts of dream.
water scribbled
along scarves
of sandstone.
the streets break
toward the harbour.

		<description><![CDATA[How mild the fall is? 
I followed a track between tall, pale green cactuses, in this harsh landscape
where even the smallest plant has thorns, where bark and leaves, of even
regular trees, like carob and olive, are tough and will not softens to human
touch. Yet this is a landscape that once was tilled and now abandoned, [...]]]></description>

Lingering warm touches
Flattering words
Laughter after lunches.
A thick, blinding curtain
fogging vital truths.

her heart&#8217;s turned aloof.
Deceit sneers at her
Weaving layers of lies
She replies yes sir,
as her spirit torn cries.
Destruction chains her neck
pulling her away
leaving the mark of death
a stench of ashtray.
Helpless to whom she serves
she no longer sees the way

You are not the ones for life to please,
All you hunt is dirty euro dough,
It&#8217;s, in fact, a terrible disease.
Your infected ego is inflated,
It will burst and poison all your veins.
Even when the beast is saturated,
It is still your helplessness that reigns.
Every step you take will be [...]]]></description>

Has buried me in its cold and gloom;
You&#8217;ll see this place in a dreadful guise
And once sweet home will seem a tomb
Once you&#8217;re aware there&#8217;s no way out,
Once dreams of youth say goodbye and grin.
It goes farther and makes me doubt
In all the things I have ever seen.
Its blood has turned [...]]]></description>

all over the art house
Carved equine harmony ruins
now
fit for the knackers yard
Skin too smooth
no flex or muscle movement
The jewels were all gone
its eyes removed
Cool handed double breasted veneer
raking coals over breaking ice

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fully devoured by hate,
My mind has been brought to stagnation,
It&#8217;s my unconceivable fate
To get slightly less estimation
Than sluts in a changeable guise
Or fools wasting time on careers.
Well, who is the one to despise:
A poet or one of those peers?
They fear the joys of today,
They fear the freedom addiction,
And I have no words left to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Love is a Story
It seems incredible now but once I was in love,
inflamed blood rushed thru my veins threatened
to drown my heart in sweet delusions, but we
both agreed, at the time, that never in the history
of man had anyone loved as us.
Summer nights are not for sleeping tired I was
when October came with cold, sober [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer in Lisbon
In the gentle Lisboetic night the old Heavenly Basilica
shimmered above ground, a white mirage of satin.
Across the road, in the garden of a thousand stars,
park benches, under ancient trees, smoked cigarettes
that glowed as fireflies when lovers embraced.
Sweet scented murmur kissed the moon.

		<description><![CDATA[The Quickening 
Upstairs, the tide slapping sound of laughter and music
became a din, small cubicles, pink light and creaking bedsprings
and it reeked of beer belching men and perfumed women.
Angry gull like shrieks from cubicle five a customer had fallen
asleep occupying much needed space. Two bouncers came and
carried the sleeping one down to his friends in [...]]]></description>
