Hoggish sun, stealing from me my skittish and jocose, womanlike shadow. Angelic cumuli… floating in the lazuline sea. Gently carried by ever-caressing Zephyrus. No names, no aliases – to be, to be!
Puff-puff – the cherubim have thinned away. They’ve gone, they’ll come – the opposites remain. The delicate bedsheet-white flakes will soon grow into majestic clouds to clad the empyrean. They might fall down afterwards to match every empire, like a man off a zebra. Off the one with mocha stripes. El signo de la vida, of proper life.
When nothing can be juxtaposed, life has its taste. Mmm… delicious.

Two Gallants 
Philosophy loses its tongue when these fixed words are read.
enikku Istamaayi,(in Malayalam Language spoken by the people of Kerala, extreme South India)meaning….. I liked it …..
Okay, so I’m a fan 😛
Thank you again for leading me to you!!
Rich metaphors supported by luscious illustration. Thank-you.
Very sensual, sexy writing- well cool 🙂 (very eloquent commenting I know! ;-)) I’ll look forward to reading more of Two Gallants 🙂
Very nice!
Interesting works overall; I think this one is my favorite so far.
Beautifully poetic prose! It has an ethereal flow. Feels like silk. Tastes like lemon merange. Many thanks!
I really like your mix of fiction and illustration. This post reminded me of “The Birth of Venus” — on land. Nicely done.
Life has its taste …. mmmm.
an example of when less (words) is more (says it all)
I like it

ordinary words fall short to compliments such gyring whimsy fun, so emoticon will have to do 😉
really, this is so very nice (decadent mocha stripes)
You’re a big fan of James Joyce, aren’t you?
not sure the word ‘fan’ fits
I have mega thousands of people who wait for my blog each day. I want all of them to see yours.
I hope they do.

Your own blog is intriguing. Yes, “to be, to be…” One of my college Shakespeare professors once said that he could write an entire treatise on two words from “Hamlet”—”let be.”
Bet you could, too.
Cheers,
Marci
Just stunning. I’m intrigued to read more!
I wish that I could write as well as you do.
Lyrical and melodic with beautiful imagery. Really enjoyed.
Very nice..Peace Tony
I just love everything in your eclectic blog so far from the sexy ladies, mojitos and off the wall poetry/prose. Great stuff!
Well, it’s not eclectic in the proper meaning of this word. The writings are ours.
This is really lovely.
This poetry is great, and the background you’ve created for the blog matches it so beautifully. I can’t wait to come back and read more of your titillating pieces.
Lovely… put a smile on my face. 😉
Prose that reads like poetry; wow!
One’s mind becomes intertwined in your word-mastery.
Reading this makes it difficult to remember that we live in a realm far different than the fantastical version you portray. Well done.
nice one 🙂
I love the way you create the scene with words; I feel like I’m right there witnessing everything. I love your mastery of words.
I can see the Greek influence in your writing. I think Homer would approve.
Happy Pages,

out of opposites…thanks..
Terrific word-play. “No names, no aliases – to be, to be!”
¡Me gusta!
Dying Fire
interesting image and words combo, really liked it
esp nice touch with the spanish, the signature of a proper life, with the irony of proper also, for me, meaning a fuller, not necessarily restricted regulated, life
nice, thanks 😉
This is wonderful poetry. I’ll definitely come back for more.
