"cabanas" poems
Palm trees sway in the breeze as waves crash on the beach. The sun sets low over the horizon as the boat gently rocks just off of the shore. Paradise to some an escape to others. Cabanas are decked with blinking lights as people dance to the sound of the steel drum and the Mandolin. Coconut drinks are mixed with local spirits to bring good cheer. Dark and White *** are the mixers of choice as fish bake on open coals and ***** boil in a *** Gifts are exchanged by the light of Tike torches and bon fires. The moon rises over the ocean and a starry sky is beset like jewels in the night. All is at peace with a tropical Christmas .

slip
hips
and lips
add lust
pour out of veins
mingle with
philosophical brains
and made up stories
greed
turns
to feeding the needy
and indeedy
there are many who need
but what
do
those simple
words say to you?
are these but spells
knocking on the doors of heavens oh so , bells
profound are the notes that escape the woodland forest at noon
typewriter quickslips
and merry go round fish lips
rooftop jelly bean highs
chinese restaurants on the sly , back ally vibes
pools and sala's
dancing in cabanas
by rivers soft meander
dreams
how sweet
dreams left in invisible seams
i
an atom
i
an atom
i an atom
i , many atoms
i , atoms many
i , light bearer plenty.
need a fix,
i got the goods
hips, lips ,lust misunderstood.
hips, lips, kisses and midnight snacks.

(a poem in several Haiku and Senryu stanzas)
The molten gold sun
on cerulean canvas
breeze borne cirrus clouds
flawless days stretching
like sun-kissed bodies - crisp white
linen cabanas
lips roughly sore from
innumerable kisses
we shimmer white hot.
Lulling rhythmic waves -
heaven's extravagant taste
- on leisure sculpt days
masterpiece pleasures,
love’s instigative brushstrokes,
paint compelling joy

história
amargas mentiras retorcidas
melancolia
luas e sóis
esperanças
lágrimas
porque me rio?
podes atirar-me palavras
podes subjugar-me com os olhos
podes matar-me de ódio
é a minha sensualidade que te incomoda?
cabanas de vergonha
sobre um oceano *****
deslizam na maré
deixo para trás a noite
o terror
levanto-me
neste maravilhoso amanhecer
no declínio dos meus ancestrais
elevam-se as esperanças do escravo
e sonho
e parto

Life is a Bi-ach
Not a beach
Bring your mi-ti
Don't preach
Sing a song
Dream of Billabong
Corona and cabanas
Life is bananas

The evening stars were gone, replaced
by a spreading, ominous purple bruise of cloud.
When the wind rose, in sudden violent
crisscrossing gusts, everything went into motion.
White cabanas shook, like staked swans
flapping to fly, lavender bushes thrashed
their thorny arms as if in panic, umbrella pines
creaked and writhed like tethered balloons.
Lightning lit the winding, stony stairs, like ornamental
neon lights, as we’d run up the path from the beach.
Shockwaves of thunder accompanied the flashes
- there was no lag - the storm was there and upon us.
We were laughing and screaming, like children
chased through a dark Halloween funhouse.
The first, fat drops of rain popped behind us,
like a giant’s, arrhythmic, snapping fingers.
As we reached the open, French, louvered doors,
that led from our suite down to the shoreline,
we body-slammed them against the tempest.
And braced them fully closed with our backs, as if to vilify the
natural courses of wind and rain with an animal will to break in.
The lashing monsoon heralded our urgent, stormy union.
We were like the storm - insistent, wild and untamed.
All was revealed in that flashing, tempestuous darkness
as need, euphoria and lightning lit the naked night
.

*The mid-summer heat
seared the sand like fire.
She walked by me
stopping at my Cabanas shade.
May I she asked?
So young
lithe and beautiful.
Of course I say
but the breaking waves
and sea breeze whisper
Danger......Danger...Danger
Beware …Beware …Beware.
I have not yet tasted
the pleasures of a woman.
Can this be the time?
The time for me.
My racing heart whispers
quietly.... softly
hush hush ...be still.
The salty sea breezes
are whispering
Let it be… it’s your time
…Let it be.
Later I writhed under her.
Between heaven and the sand.
My hand holding hers
As she led me
through the door of manhood.
My boyhood left me
draining into her
as I cried out
in its irrecoverable loss.
The waves rolled relentlessly
breaking on the shore.
Undulating to her rhythm
I feel her soft gentle gifts
aching inside my body
is this it .......is this it?
My soul asks
Then the roar
of the crashing waves
on the rocky shore.
The tender moment
As close as two
humans can be.
Emotions older
than time itself.
I hold her
as a woman and lover.
She rises from me
almost shyly
and says
Thank you.
A seabird cries above
Don’t leave , Don’t Leave.
But her footprints
are washing away
in the foam.
Just her indelible
memory remains
Imprinted forever
like a tattoo
on my young heart.*
