    • If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited. Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated. It is not discourt

    Orange as the Sunrise
    I am the un-defined
    The chameleon spectator spy
    Just slowly passing by
    Divine with grace
    Tracing temptation in place
    Towards the spiders web
    I have been mislead
    Towards direction of understanding
    Picking apples from the tree
    This one is too ripe, this one too red
    This one too bitter, this one too sweet
    There’s something about this tree
    I can never find
    But behind me
    Sits strawberry fields
    Peach trees and kiwi
    Watermelon and mango
    Blackberries and grapes
    Nectarines and oranges
    As orange as the sunrise
    My eyes wide towards the dark
    Picking apples naïve with remark

    pocket, This is so fresh and clever. In its one way a bit psychedelic. Also I can smell the sweet fruits and their luscious juices ass I read on. The allusions I find to other great works are Apples- Adam & Eve, strawberry fields-The Beatles, and believe it or not many moons ago I think in the 1980's Bette Midler had a stage show which was a bit raunchy and she dressed up in fake fruits and strutteed and sang and danced (all this pops into my mind when I read this spectacular poem of yours! Also take a look at my latest poem: Escapism. ginga ginga

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
