It’s so immodest, isn’t it? Sorry, guys… I couldn’t help it.
It’s too beautiful to be hidden. Thank you, Greg… Ayor anosh’ni ❤
(Yes… Aponi… Now you know one of my nicknames.)
a thin branch full of leaves sanguine.
there’s a breeze. take flight
to do a fluttering
dance among the flowers
for the sun and random eyes.
2.
joy
is a hibernating bear
rising from dormancy
with a hungry smile
for a metamorphosis.
imagination’s
a caterpillar
crawling
along borders,
across lakes, oceans
where we meet,
inspiring and merging
creative words,
sounds
and images.
have you been
to the parties
in Mexico, Zaire,
New Zealand
and Central Asia
to Native America
where the Hopi’s
and
Navajo’s
were dancing for you
as single girls
don
hairstyles
in your image
for suitors?
nature
carved your wings of awe,
with your mind and heart
splashing them
with colors of delight:
lime and orange
with specks
of black and rouge,
an exquisite
sight to see.
small.
delicate.
but a bit stronger
than first glances
assumed.
6.
so go on
fly on
let those wings
sing
a mid-summer song.
go on fly on
i swear
there’s some drab places
in need
of your presence.

OMG… Henry! Thank you! Thank you!! You made me happy!
Good words for my friends are much more important for me than compliments for my writings! I was lucky to write two collaborations with Greg so far (the third one is in a process now) and to publish some of his works as guest posts. Thank you!!
There is our collaborations (if you’re interested of course… you can omit my proem-babble)
