Dream of Love

photograph taken almost one year ago in Central Park, Manhattan

this is my hope

to sleep and dream of you

and have your smile

which while awake knows not of me

know me alone

and have this dream

in which your eyes

find —raw— in mine

the very essence

of your love

keep warm my soul

until I dream again

of you

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Dance of Love

I’ve posted this poem here before, more than five years ago. (Amazing! Five years!) At that time, though, other people were reading this blog... This poem has stayed with me and I often find myself singing it in my mind, or even aloud when there's no one around...

Here it is again, for your enjoyment. I hope you had a fabulous Valentine’s Day!

Fabian Perez – Tango in Paris in Black Suit

Dance of Love

Into this wild abyss
of bliss
we fall

Some say it’s love
we call it
war

Onto this blade of trust
we walk
we dance

You hold me tight
as we abide
by this game’s
rule

Sweet avalanche
of blood
we seek

We fight
harsh tango of
the hearts

While in a wild abyss
of bliss
we hide

We kiss
