Chapter 1
Set the Sun on Fire
passion prose
Sun senses something is about to happen
Reem dream of you
Seeing you in shadows of the moon
Shades in turquoise days of bleeding hearts raiding my mind
In body and soul, I feel her encompassing the light shrouded in mystery and suspense
Then turning around to face me
I’m embarrassed but I look into her dark brown eyes
Gypsy blood Eastern European
Spirit of the Enchantress
Zhelya
Zeus wants to know what her name is
Gashing gnashing — my gut — instinct — squark quark — quirk jerky stuttering chattering incessantly through a lecture
Tripping on sand banks — picking pods while walking the wilds
A fierce force fuses the lamp out blasting onto a bottle of wine — Sauvignon red
Blinding drunk —
Bite me in the night I think
Crack back hack pack a punch hunch is a stranger intruder in the house
Crash clang crack — clangour goes a broken window pane as she creeps up on the crown of the bed —impenetrable confidential sworn in by me
I am lying sleeping until I see you clearly
Solvent glass glazing globes — stella rays incandescent — Fluttering heart beating ninety miles an hour
Days of winding roads and heaven up here kisses
Rips lips like sugar tips sips on my skin
This trip of life and death
Now I can’t get enough of her
Scent of rich sandalwood candles — their scant flame dissipating
An orange glow giving out a fluorescent fog-fazing glaze
Blinding drunk —
Bite me in the night I think
Let me wine and dine you
Heathers panthers
Feathers on my leather jacket
Tethers her onto it
Twins of the mean mean moon
Shine so hard
Afterwards joyful laughter
Light tripping through a gap in the doorway always ajar now
Stars chatoyant peeking a
Luna loony limbo leaving languidly Living rooms alight with gleaming glitter gloss
Give me your head with goat’s cheese and crackers
Celestial cyan lavender
Linting lyrical love in delrays of Bonding blinding bliss
Dream of you too many times over the course of the week
Hounded by a friend who has an interest in my affairs
Asks too many questions so I cut him off midway —
Guess you have to learn somehow
Hover over the tub as you wash your feet
Kiss nip slip away from the sun to look at the moon
Glowing passing through the Milkyway of time
That’s all we have — time
Time to talk tomorrow or tonight before the new day begins I'm scared of the future
Please stay and turn your back towards me
Let me hold your lower spine curve line
Time deceives us every minute
It's a race to keep up
Today I can't find her
It was only dawn light unbright upright I sit here thinking hard about the time that has disappeared from me
I thought I had a grip on it
Time took me and her and tore us apart
Today I saw nobody but myself in the mirror
I smashed it into tiny pieces
So angry it shattered out
The truth of what time really does
Tomorrow is the day
It took her away from me
