born and vanish

in these virgin shores

white marble glory aqua stone

erupting from the dust of the universe

unfolds a peculiar immensity of freedom

and beatitudes of mind

not yet explored the emotions

you see that innate boundaries

are frontiers i shall never know

illuminated beauty

the sea i shall never possess

radiance of women

evening falls

around the flowering inner

when the darkness stirs

we veiled velocity as chariots of embrace

in your blue cuneiform veins

i see my stillness

and the streaking spaces of bleeding

a surface of memory of lyric voices

whirling rivers of intimate eloquence

in your blue veins where all my fictions begun

dimmed light and perpetual motions

then vanished as serpents and lines

of sandstones of flesh

we slept in the ancient aegean rooms

in the hypotenuse hills

with honeysuckle and thyme

till our veins pulled the moons

and the rhythms of our tangerine minds
