private hints

- 2013 mixed media -

"I saw you last night in the gathering,
but could not take you openly in my arms,
so I put my lips next to your cheek,
pretending to talk privately."

------------------

"I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.

Now that my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let's buy it." 

-----------------

"Listen to the presences inside poems,
let them take you where they will.
follow those private hints,
and never leave the premises."
