COOKING CURRY

start with joy
that's the secret
tailor everything
to continue
that expression
say the juvenile
ebullient eyes
of ancient master
here again
to teach us forever
how to add flavor

Soul Angel

I've known
a while
she chats with
seraphs
in celestial
bodies of light
and vibration.

no more time
for my lower
frequency
and dreams.

still, she waits
for my
arrival.

Sappho

O never was there such a time,
When poetry would plumb & mine
The days of Sappho speak.
A woman never meek,
When sandals’ passion creaked
To cadence, meter Greek.



_______________________

Sappho was an Ancient Greek lyric poet. She was required reading for Greek citizens, and her influence on Greek literature & thought is immeasurable.

the eyes do not see the past

have your eyes  
not shown me my heart    
since before God smiled?  
   
since before time itself  
had laid its path?    

los ojos no ven el pasado,      
pero van a revelarlo
