The morning after...

The morning after when I opened the window I remembered that once we both looked at dawn with delight. My body naked trembled by the sight of your talented hands...my love...my love...will we ever love that sweet? Wait for me with delight because in your mouth I will render my passion, in your arms my worries and sorrows. Your kisses, sweet semen of Heaven, wait, for my longing is patient of your tender desire. Stay by the fire, holding dreams in your heart. Long the wait has been, my sweet love, but soon the gate will open and the ocean will appease this great thunder.

I shall for ever write these words in blood, the ink of everlasting. In white sheets of ocean foam I draw the tale of lovers dwelling in eartly sorrows. For the gods have witnessed the true faith of love, and pleased they held a place of bliss for those who taste its savours.

A little token in antecipation of Women's Day. I hope, if you are in Toronto, you can visit the photo exhibition I am preparting at the Portuguese Consulate on Women and Emigration. To all of you men out there, don't forget the ones who have loved, and who have helped you through difiicult times.
