love poems

        dreamy senselessness





                i'll wake you up
                and tell you a story
                then let you sleep

                when you wake up
                you'll let me know
                am i alive
                or just a dream

                  the last summer concert
                  ---- in san jose ----




          would you like to dance with a stranger?
          she looked at me why not?
          slow dance
          then she had to rush to san francisco

   summer phone




          your voice nests in my ear
          the air's the summer's affair
          soft waves of your voice oh dear
          carry me through the summer air

          you study with thunder
          text after text a wide choice
          but my snow white phone melts under
          the summer melody of your voice

love




        you don't understand
        what's going on
        why you want so bad
        to be with someone you don't know
        eyes blinked twice and you think
        that eternities passed
        that you know

        the fog
        and the good people
        share
        in your happiness and pain
        and you think
        never again
        and perhaps
        you're right

              we stopped on the bridge
              what time is it she asked

              i took the watch
              off my wrist
              and let it be carried away
              by the dark water below

   celebration



      a fruitcake and a wino
      didn't mind the food and wine, no
      they had a good time, no? yes, yes
      and all that jazz, jazz
      you know, no? yes, yes

      beer
      turns tulips into roses
      our conversation
      absorbs foreign words
      and notions

      let's hope
      to find a thick dictio
      next to the eyebrow
      when the eye opens

      don't you feel
      that beer
      turns two lips into roses?
      ...
      ...

      wind and wined
      on my mind
      tutti-frutti
      you're a beauty
      worry weary
      don't you see
      won't you marry
      a fruitcake and wino
      like me?

       summer


           some of the comforters fall
           between the bed and the wall
           simple summer life
           you cover yourself just with five
           and you lie still
           till she reaches her goal
           which is you
           and she lets the remaining five fall
           too
           too hot
           she's calling you a spoiled brat
           she's right

  Marriage






    I the clerk designated for you
    by this higher institution
    before hearing your vows
    that you are her and you are his
    I have to warn you about this
    one thing:
    two married people will encounter
    a lot of good sunny days and a lot of bad rainy days
    a lot of happiness and a lot of sorrow
    gold & diamonds but also frustrations & tears
    and all kind of things
    as for instance children

    thus listen carefully to what
    this clerk who marries you has to tell you
    two people in a marriage
    can afford but one dream
