LATE NIGHT CALLS 

late night call from the sand dune creates 
the blue dream, sleepless emotion 
waits for stranger love, the 
door knocking goes 
from slower to 
deeper, 
infatuated moments fill the fragrance of 
nocturnal bloom, the cactus or 
mesua ferrea, I don't know, 
whole the night aroma 
drops into dank of 
dew, your lips 
moves 
on the chest, creates the marsh, later 
pink night lilies open the drowsy
petals, the passionate breath 
gradually melts the thin 
layer of icy hesitation,
in the winter night
nearish to body
and soul,
your presence makes the realism of 
illusive life - - -
