Farthest Shore

Farthest Shore
'Donec posteaquam transitu optata'- Virgil, The Aeneid BK VI

So.......
We, the voting, head-of-the-household , free we,
redouble our efforts
for something we've had before
been burnt by before
haunted by before
Cursed
hated
declaimed to heaven before
Knew to be capricious
but still....
I am no man
I am an island
Swim to me
or drown
in your shallow sea;
Your sisters were sirens here once,
I seduced & replaced them all.

NEK MINUTE

Despise reject loathe dismiss
want need desire wonder
curiosity
killed all that but
more
You need 
I need 
So 
desire require lust diverge
investigate
touch hold feel taste
Less
More
I almost died but.....
We almost got off at the same stop
next minute....an hour had passed
& the day has gone: but you touched me first
TAG
that's it?

Adonis, July 

I'm sorry that I did not respond
rightly
to your slight interest, to you, to what I saw in you
girl with a male gods' name
I saw the duplication in our times & spun-off in a million wrong directions:
I am not the lion of my father
but more a cat of ease & opportunity
Coupari
Our paths will cross again
and I hope our hearts and minds will mend & melt more sweetly
or at least with sweet intent
when next we make a gaze a firmament.
