One night stand

It is time now to tie the hands of beauty and throw
 her over to immortal kisser like the black hole in the
arena, it will gulp her down the entrails. You see the flowers
are exploding in teeming colors in my little garden, some
are vibrant, some are sad but beauty exploring a thousand
ways to stop at heart. You know I had a fling for her slim waist,
her swinging gait but what it is? Is it bones, flesh, mucous
membrane and skinny pigments? I cannot touch her.

I cannot lay hand on you in spite of testosterone flowing in my
blood, you are seagull floating on the blue, Ole buttermilk sky,
 the music composed in my DNA or ever fleeting dream of being.

Stop by the lakeside, stop to see the reflection in the moonbeam,
It is time to throw her over to immortal kisser before you ceases to be.

On death of a friend.

I saw your face, somewhere it was raining-
beneath your brow, your eyes floated like lily
on the placid water, on the shore your house
embraced you like a dear forgotten song with a refrain
of forsaken love, nearby stood the plush but elegant
Palm tree but you were apart from the life you
lived. You were, dear friend, you turned away from
the light of your cozy room to the cloud above with
your baritone-  sang a song of mindful soul, you
sang a song for thousand years- millennium to come.

you loved the life with your arms,  genitals, mind and soul
so the heartbreak, let down by love but  love blossomed in
spite of the jilt, in spite of the gloom, in spite of thousand storm
caged inside the body-  you assured me the green leaves, the
 white lilies, the red roses would abound in my garden with a
marble pedestal on which  an incredible, indelible dream of a
life desired for a while; for moments we live, for moments we die
a false continuity numbs our frontal lobe with slithering touch.
You smiled significantly to tie a knot with death!
