Whom I love—

Whom I love—
Give a taste at dawn
Distend fleshly marmalade
Fragrantly imbued

Ah!

Ah!
Mysterious vale
Of my wandering I find
You so delicious

In secret—

In secret—
Remember how we’d
Make love by meddlesome eyes
A sip at a time?

Ngami—

Ngami—
Stars do blissfully
Drape your smooth in a subtle
Silk of midnight moon

Basking on a cot

I like you on your belly
Tongue blushing pink

Heart of—

Mobius-purple
Subsists only to breathe this
Love for all women

Unswerving obsession to
Forge my doting you

Of the sea and from here I
Taste your delicious

En especie—

Gorging flume on streams
Azury light effects these
Heady snap shot hues

Prickling—

Prickling—

You become 3-d
Not just a fractured picture
When I enter you

I know of you—

I know of you—
Touching Eden’s splay
Corolla born showy hues
Shudder of my words

On the bed yes—

On the bed yes—
But sleep not sweet muse
For there is much to do that
Involves vicious heat

Diary— (haiku senryu)

Diary—
Bookmark with petals
Those poem-flowers I've inked
In your folios

A friend of mine—

A friend of mine—
Shared a snapshot of
His Recently departed
German Shepherd
And I fastened
To the glossed-edged
Pictured canine.
His eyes gleamed
Life-full,
Open mouth panting
A happy time and
My mind committed the
Image to memory,
Captured the
Magnificence of this
Creature to heart,
And later as I drifted off
In a doze,
I saw the iridescence
Of his eyes
Burn like a roaring wind
afire… intrigue in
Its gaze,
mysterious noir,
Subdued and yet free for
In my trance I came to
Know his haunts and
His un-tethered roams
Spread wide devoid of
Everything ephemeral and
I realized his great forever,
Always pure and
Wonderful, arching in the
Flash through
Hours of darkness,
Fetching the moon then
Twinkling each star
With the gentlest touch of
His paws, reveling
In supernal delight as
I whimpered softly my dream

I would like—

I would like—
To write a letter
On a sheet so
White and clear
Freshly
Laid virgin sheer.
Form each word
With brusque strokes
From my
Fountain pen
Tell of things long
And sheen,
Things no one’s ever
Told before:
surreptitious letter
In endless
Sequence of phrases,
Letter of
Suicide eyes run-wild
Passion clung in
The dead of
Night flailing life
With its
Flayed skin
Shown gloriously raw,
Brave soul
Condemned for love
At the place
Where water laps
Sonorous and
River rock
Gleams smooth slick,
Where Aragonite
Crystals form a coral
Trellis bow
Of wind-chime doves
©2008 j.a.o.a.

when you were made—

when you were made—

mounts awakened
valleys, streets and
alleys doused
in sunlight,
chatty brooks sallied
tinseling murmurs
giving passage to this
loveliest season,
and poetry showed me
how you truly are
my maddening reason

©2011 j.a.o.a.

Sit like so-

Muse at my evening-

Held-

While I strut the trudge—
