A New Year- A new dawn, a new day, a new life..and I'm feeling Good...Nina Simone

I promise to update this Blog every week..Today on Covered and Bound it was about George Elliot Clarke and his lecture at the Canadian Writers Series at York University.

Quemada!

By George Elliot Clarke

Love – yield love – while the body’s ripe.
Don’t sag iceberg-like. Flame volcanic!
Wail as if a drum; never fall silent –
Save for wine-sodden sleep, uninterrupted.

Naked and aflutter in a four-legged bed –
With a coddling body opposite, charming,
The sun’s never slight, never extinguished.
No matter how fat clouds crowd it from sight!

What good is chastity – if it’s for good?
That lover crumpling under caresses,
Is a saint moon-luminous with amore.
Jangle the bed! Shake it! Splash the wine!

As per community radio, I had technical difficulties...So next week, I will continue this lecture. Because I love how this man loves poetry.
