Ou Es Tu Mon Amour
by Wayne Wolfson
I alone, to once again see the whole city wet and painted blue. The exact shade, matching the color of her favorite dress. The cool blues of that night with her eyes, which I made weep gems under the cafe neon. The rain perfumes the concrete, one more time once. Walking the streets ...
Carved in Rock
by Suzanne Dennison
Carved in RockMassive waves of ice surroundAn island in the seaWhere an ancient passion carved in rockIs coming alive for me.You turned my way and heard me sayLove lingers in the tunesSo played a song to taunt meWith the dream's ...
Rue Linnei
by Wayne Wolfson
It is a hot day, the specifics I don't know, never having mastered the metric conversion. The heat makes everyone crazy dumb. It is only after the sun goes down that some will attempt to recreate the day's madness with drinks and different positions. Christina does not cover up as she hangs some ...
Sattamassagana For Rosie
by Wayne Wolfson
Grief, desire, memory. When utilized properly, they can serve to provide a sort of forward motion. Even if only down the street for that last drink of the evening. From somewhere nearby can be heard the faint tinkling of a piano as it has a conversation with itself. What do I have, what do ...
Jazz Trick
by Wayne Wolfson

La Notte
by Wayne Wolfson
You left. I am going back.Sundown, the darkness will allow us to think of what we have done.The dimmed windows of stores. Heaven offered up through the motionless shadows of luxury. The dimmed windows, the dead smile of an enemy. My sweetheart's stare. Luxury ill afforded. I am ...
Bright Flares
by Suzanne Dennison
BRIGHT FLARES Chasing the same dream for decadesCan't dim the glow we shared:It was transferred into musicAnd I sense you in those soundsFlowing thru the atmosphere. The glory in shared passionsMade pure, ring clearAs I listen to the ...
Rue Coquilliere
by Wayne Wolfson
For SybilleI had let the water in the tub run dangerously high. Almost up to the lip, where it threatened to soak the Balzac I had balancing on the corner. I would have to move, slowly, not make even a ripple, but for now I could not be bothered. In a few ...

by Suzanne Dennison
PERMANENT IMPRINTAnticipation merely a dreamCaught in flowing tunes,Formal beauty swallowingAll other sounds.The love I felt for youAcknowledged in songCarries the energy of our unionTo the end of spacetime.Alive each moment listeningAs art expresses joy and pain
