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, and 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 –
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
The Jewel of that
March Night
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.
