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
