An ode to love found; lost; evolved; forgotten; betrayed; succinct; intact; revived; and intense. A dark foray into what is left after loves goes. And a toast to love, ever fleeting.
Samba
strains of seductive samba
sing of carefree voices and ideas.
bittersweet shadows smiling
on sweet tropical sands and roses
shifting in my bed with emptiness.
un jeune homme avec cachet intime
lovers to have and hold until tomorrow
which it seemed was a story
that had never arrived.
my pumping heart
alludes to synergy
and moments triumphant
as fleeting winged cupids
play jestering.
plaintive ringing ballads
lovers led astray
feelings from my intimate self
have been run out of town
by secrets the mirror holds.
a brazilian chanteuse
sings of human hearts
searching the expanse
as beats fade and images disappear.
