I have been called a Buddha
- kill him
I have been called Sufi
- sleepless for 1001 nights
I have been called an Angel, perhaps
- only because I have held one's hand
In truth
I am a creature of the night
a painter of dreams
a poet of starlight
human
I
am
upon the tightwire
of lust and love
dancing the fineline
of desire and need
my passion burns deep within
my roar masked by the sun
distance and time
touch my soul
peer into my eyes
and burn
in the sacred fire
of love
