Bewitching at Lake Balaton
Jadeite lake
reposing between
valley dimpled knees
Tihany echo
the words let go
don’t speak
. . . Don't speak
The Abbey observes
from the peak
the journey is not for the meek
Way of the Passion
we three walked together
The Crucifix ashen and weathered
North shore is cold
we went for a swim
you, me, and him
. . . Him
Skin softly moaning
from summer sun rays
brown sugar tan on a man
Summer haze
Kelp keeping me in
snaking my thighs
killing time
. . . Time
Playing monkey in the middle
trying to catch my heart
between Herculean men
Running blind in the woods
in search of hermit’s cave
perhaps I must away
. . . Away
But instead we sip wine
on an August
afternoon day
The lady wanted sweet
you taunted the sommelier
but the cellar had none
Instead the wine was dry
paired with cheese
and pear jam
you made sure my bottle was free
for what you thought a grave mistake
The Lady wanted sweet
You didn't need to
cause a stir on my behalf
though you knew my tastes
I confess
The past is Painful
enough as it is
and gives no rest
I recalled the day before
when you gave him a welcome
bottle of Tokaji, the best
unearthed forbidden fruits
Meggyleves for supper
sweet sugar cream on the lips
two men and a woman lives
. . . Lives
Eight years is awhile
now wise, once a child
I departed on one
of a thousand Sailboats
set back for the states
I didn’t realize
I was sailing on a lake
not on an ocean
That is why you remained at the docks
Sooner or later you knew I’d return
why do you still wait
Wait . . .
once we were one
Then we were two
Husband makes three
Nice of you to drive us through
Lavender fields, dried and decayed
We came in summer too late
Why did you take us
no, take me here
to dreamscape fate
Memory marshlands
are tricky to defeat
like fanning oneself from the heat
We had ample time for one last dip
I coveted your golden aura
like the last Aszu sip
Swimming at sunset
at south Siofok shore
warm mist like steam showers
Best to not reminiscence any more
But you both looked at me
one rugged, the other refined
should not have had that last glass of wine
Handsome and vibrant
tan and sculpted
storms thrusting inside of me
You were kind to him
as I knew you would be
you both joked and spoke amicably
Fine Ajka crystal
is the artistry of your charms
carved deep in darkened lead
Dreams set in curio cabinet
and admired from sofa bed
a love one might rather forget
. . . Forget
At midnight we laid our backs
on the boardwalk
surrendering to the stars of destiny
The mosquitoes bothering me
unforgiving bites still itching
honey saliva may be my remedy
We past a stoic pole dancer
and greedy men full of Soproni
the sober finale to summer dreams
, , , Dreams
Time to return to reality
Fantasy is merely musing
In the late hour
neon-lit nightclubs devoured
she-wolves still hungry
dough slithers round
wooden post spinning over spit
kurtoskalacs sticky bliss
Sweetness is not for me to taste
but young lovers in the smoky maze
I had my youth but now I have truth
The prime of life at twenty-eight
but feeling the weight
of thirty
Oh to escape
and wonder
and wander
I won't take the bait
Tihany echo returned to me
empty
. . . . . . . . . Empty
Three in the morning
driving back to the city
he’s asleep in the back
I suspect pretending
Awake since sunrise
In and out of conscious state
Riding on a techno music trip
. . . . . . . Trip
lying dormant in the passenger seat
Your hand on the gearshift
close to my knee
You know you cannot attack
In your Balaton blue
marble eyes I notice
a ripple
or maybe a crack
reposing between
valley dimpled knees
Tihany echo
the words let go
don’t speak
. . . Don't speak
