I was the only swimmer in movies. Tarzan was long gone, and he couldn't have done them anyway; he could never have gotten into my bathing suit.

Over the Horizon

Summer is a coming
and it brings the shining sun
The glistening water
girls in bikinis
and a masculine brown tan
but also it brings a pain
For I lost someone that fateful summer
Over the horizon
He was starved of life

One summer I fled
Fled, from the beach house
deep in the night
out for a midnight swim
the dark ocean
the silent breeze
and the surprise crashing of waves
But it also brings pain
For I lost my life that fateful summer
Over the horizon

What A View Of The Sea Today

it is such a beautiful sunny day at the beach

a man with a muscular body rests on the white sand
beside a blue boat under a tall coconut tree

a woman with a beautiful body, pinkish skin arrives
and removes her transparent skirt and plunges to the sea
on a black bikini

the tiny waves of the sea glisten
like some eyes peeping

People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you'll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.

Studio 205

Andy sits in Studio 205,

that has many gifts

on shelves inside,

like a scope that does collide.

Also cards, toys even an

armless chicken with a

bikini on,

she looks respectful cuz

she’s not wearing a thong,

not like the room with the dongs.

The Refraction Of Water

Not knowing how to swim
I became an expert
at diving in

and swimming under water
(oh I could do that)
for a width
and then
another width back

reaching for the safety of the bar as if it were
Life itself
even pushed it so far
(I held my breath)
took to swimming lengths
underwater
the danger and the fear of death
became the thrill of it

lost in a soundless universe

The nudity, no need

Than the sight of a woman in circus,
Who bares herself save chest and hip,
The sight of a housewife excites more
When she walks through a stream
With her sari tucked up above the knee.

Than the sight of a supple woman in gymnastics,
Who shows her bare limbs and contour,
The sight of a woman next door excites more
When she stoops to sweep the yard,
Her blouse betraying her cleavage.

Than the sight of a virulent woman in swimsuit
Who swims in apparent transparency
The sight of a known woman excites more
When seen behind in front seat of the bus,
Her bra cut seen through beneath the blouse.

To excite, no need to expose

A Summer Day At The Swimming Pool

A summer day at the swimming pool,
Women in their bathing suits,
Bearing their forbidden fruits,
Water glistening like a jewel.

Lifeguards like the judges rule,
And won't hear your refutes,
Though children still all act the fool
On a summer day at the swimming pool.

Visit to a swimming pool

We swim a few times
across the water
where people float
and enjoy at the deepest place
the well-being that the pool
brings magically,
before we wrap our arms around each other
and recoil in the water up and down
and a few rascals
splashes us totally wet.

While we drink ginger ale
lying on our towels,
there’s a mom with two daughters
that pours some orange Fanta for them
and they throw blocks of ice
into the top of her swimsuit.

She shudders from the cold
and give small yells and say

Summer Haze

Red hot sunburn,
and a light brown tan,
cool water,
and scorching sand,
sunkissed blondes,
and burnt brunettes,
beach bum habits,
at summer's best,
family laughter,
and friends galore,
cook out,
night out,
and sticky s'mores,
swimsuit savy,
and towels soaked,
boats are ready,
lets give a toast,
firelfly catching,
barefeet in the grass,
sliver attaching,

A Good Son

He was very fond of watching strip show
until he got very very old.
He liked to read porn books
cos he got to them very hooked.
Looking at Bikini girls was his habit
which he couldn't kick.
After his death, at his funeral
his son hired strip show girls
who shook boob and gyrated hip,
to entertain the leaving father's spirit.
On that night the son saw his father in a dream
He said, ' You are a good son ' with a smiling beam.

Delinquency

It was a complete disaster.
I will listen to moon tonight, while
writing your name
on bikini top,

holding the pigeons. The
birds had abandoned the
walnut tree in haste. Between
them can you see a butchered

image of little god, who
broke the cold chain of flirting
and sat on a rosette of
tears blocking the sun?

Was it true that death always
sits on our shoulders like an
owl undocking the life for piercing
contentious lips?

The Last

this month is all in to-do lists

‘cos that's just the way I work

budgeting money for a new fish

need to buy a Directioner shirt

waiting for my first seven-o-clock show

planning future friday night rides

building up the courage to just go

ordering a bikini in 'maldive'

I'm going to thirty six celebrations

Only riding the Dragster and Millenium

I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.

Summer On The South Bank

Nothing quite beats strolling along
London's South Bank in the sun.
From the cafes and bars laughter is heard.
The vibe is electric. There's a real sense of fun.

Like a giant bicycle wheel,
Turning slowly, is the London Eye.
Its numerous see-through pods
Carrying passengers way up high.

The 'Appearing Rooms' art installation,
Has constantly dancing water jets.
Small children in swimwear, shriek with joy,
As them, the water cools and wets.

In the ballroom at the Royal Festival Hall,
There's often entertainment for free.
You can watch singers, dancers or musicians,
While sitting having cake and a cup of tea.

Rat 8

it is nothing about rats.
this is about life.
the universal life, the life of
a star
or the survival of the rings of
Jupiter

this is about the mitosis
and the splitting of the atom
and the mushroom
and the bikini.

this is nothing about ourselves.
this is about a broken world
trying to heal the broken patches

this is about a black hole
something that we feel
though we have not even seen one

The ocean, sun and sea

The calm water of Uvongo lagoon
brought tranquillity to you
and we would row a canoe
or float in that transparent pool
watching the cliff and the waterfall.

It was where the ocean, sun and sea
became a part of you and me
and you lay on that beach
of fine white sand

and walked up and down
in your black one piece swimsuit
which showed you big breasts
very alluring
perfectly tanned and looking gorgeous
as if treading on dry land
like the Israelites
before the flood waters came

When We Made Love

i made love to
a doctor of medicine
in cyberspace
sort of floating and
swimming in black space
feeling this black hole
within us
i felt like
a stethoscope
hearing the beatings
of my heart
but she loves most
and opts for
this colonoscopy
thing
after the
endoscopy
prelude
i complained
