Lavish Lines/Luscious Lies
Saadia’s verses take me from this dull, dusty world to a secret place of moonlight and shadow, where blue smoke curls lazily up as the ill-wind sax moans of lust and despair, and a fleeting glance from beneath long black lashes hints of delights untellable, and the soft breeze wafts subtle perfumes to me.
A cool yet scorching hot desert, like Baked Alaska in a tall, slim glass, ice cream and oven-hot fruit mixed, to be eaten respectfully with a long, long spoon of purest Silver, while staying a cautious distance from the devil’s lick of passion.
And then to be fled from in bashful panic, for old Adam himself is too young a boy to be teased and tantalised with such casual finesse.

“old Adam himself is too young a boy to be teased and tantalised with such casual finesse” … I love that line. I don’t know this artist, I will have to check her out.
RYC: Trust me, I plan to enjoy my minute… to the fullest.

Gotta love those ill-winded saxes.

Thanks, Sweetheart!!! I’m glad you liked the book!
I need to look into this book!

RYC: Images of the book and what’s inside the book… random pages from the book.
Yes, Saadia’s poetry is a wonder.
Interesting book.
Let’s see, I am very nearly finished. I have been sneaking away early at night to read…, things are, I think happening as I expected, but not completely, anyway, I will let you know when I am finished. Then sadly, I must move away from uninhibited, deserted, tropical islands to the social classes of “The Great Gatsby” and the finding of indentity of Taylor in “The Bean Trees”, both summer reading assignments for school. I shall look forward to more magical adventures to come however. I do love to read for fun.
Hugs, Tricia
