9 Chuen
Blue Solar Monkey
Amid the glossy
Steel and engine’s Roar
I saw his Eyes point
blank---
Blue like Skies---Jay’s
Wing -- Ocean Water
In the Sun that set
as we flew north
From Warmth, carried
on a soft Wind
We sat in antiseptic
Splendor
On a Plane of Strangers---
In Time we broke the Barrier to Sound---
Decided that we’d
found
Too much to speak of
to let go---
“No”---suspend the
Night and Day
Escape from Pain,
seek Peace, delay
Your Flight and stay
with me---
I heard his Plea
Asking that I change
my Course
Rearrange my Night
and Day
For him
I uttered my Reply
Dared not deny
myself the Instinct
Too long held
captive, Wings clipped---
Not allowed to fly
Shimmered with our
Heat and Light---
Our Bodies fused---
Desire keenly felt
And tightly wrapped
around us
Is this my Fate---
My Destiny
incarnate?
Bronze Strength---blue
Fire
Cool green Mountain
Shade
On white hot Desert
Sand
My dear One---
My Atlanta one Night
Stand.
