I was lucky enough to spend last Winter in Paradise. This is the first thing I wrote there.
And no these are not my pics, but they are from Panama…
Truths to the Wind
Depressions
Obsessions
Confessions
All tossed away
“Not filed”
I forgive you
All of you
Those I have blamed
For my feet of clay
Those who in weakness
I leaned on
“Till you broke”
I will to abstain
From expectation
To live each breath lent
In anticipation of the next
To know of the rose’s children
By the sweetness of their scent
I give away
The ocean of tears
In tales of luminous fishes
And phosphorescent seas
In the glow of faerie
That glimmered as I slept
A constancy unexpected
In a land where
Only the humming bird
Is a landmark I know
In a babble of salsa
With a heat all it’s own
The cabbies exude tales
Of rastas asleep in the shade
As families of natives
Fade into the woods
Painted island ponies
A head bob
At their side
One has never felt
The soothe of flight
As Frigatebirds ease
An impossible smooth
Forked tails speaking
Truths to the wind
Forked tongues flapping
Could never tell
