Sailboat locking through the Panama Canal Locks Sailing For those who rather be sailing... Hot coffee warms the star-filled cold night As I sail the seven seas of boundless love My sailing vessel---the Don Quixote A sleek beautiful Swanline craft She cuts through the water Like a knife going through butter The sheets fight the howling wind At last I am free to chase my dreams Sailing onward beneath the Southern Cross Tonight the hot oil scent turns to desire My love silky and soft Snuggles closer under my blanket Supple muscles stretching warmly Against my body Our love of sailing is sealed with a kiss We are now one with the universe Sailing now to enchanting shores of Panama A lost paradise for lovers Our coffee is now cold But our hearts are warm forever LOUIS J. Barbier Jr. Just a walk in the jungle... Night Transit at Miraflores Locks Ships locking through tonight White lights playing Hide and Seek Nocturnal show at Miraflores Tormented By Lost Words For writers who burn the midnight oil... Tormented by ghost Manuscripts lie unfinished With nothingness and lost hope The words do not seem to come The pages remain blank What happen? Is it just a case of writer's block? Give it a rest You will see Big things coming---Not to worry The words will tumble out onto the page Is it magic? Not really---It is more than that It is passion Oh, that Latin blood in your veins You can hear the music As the band plays on Longing for that lost paradise And hoping for much more to come True Love and passion is its own reward Louis J. Barbier Jr. E-Mail ME! Do not walk but run home... Life to you is a dashing and bold adventure...
