CANTOS LIBIDOS


Book Description

The poet has endeavoured to place his pure emotions into words. Having found a compatible love mate encouraged him to extend an initial adventure into a search for the more engaged fusion of heart/mind/and soul. An inexplicable driving force of desire and lust became a mutual survival tool for the mature aged partnership that extended to the state of soulmates, who would seek the limits of intimate sensualities. Defining features of sex weren't alone penis in vagina (PIV), but more so a natural longing for engaging one's entire body with all the sensuality of one's skin transferring one's feelings to the partner, with the alternatives of manual and oral lovemaking, thereby learning to know one's partner and her desires intimately. "Perhaps at that stage of mature love, our libidos were still intact to a good extent and therefore furthering our desires and we could therefore satisfy our demands of pleasuring our partners successfully," the poet experienced indeed. Indeed, the so-called 'sacred triad' in lovemaking leads to experience a fusion of heart/mind/and body. "It was an experience;" the poet said, "I would wish for all couples, especially all mature ones". The poet's soulmate described this culmination in mature love as "winning a lottery ticket." Intimacies on- and offline lead to the desire of tasting each other in "flesh and blood", finally experiencing the real physical togetherness, the foreplay actions thru' cyber-love prepared beforehand in all delightful details. Basically, intense communication prepared the way to greater physical and mental fulfilment. Continual foreplay and a description of one's sexual fantasies one wished to share, less egotistical demands and the poet's a wish to satisfy his sexual partner first. Indeed, elderly people are capable of experiencing strong love. In that sense, the poet has written his first-hand experiences, when the lust had culminated in wonderful intense orgasms.




MUSES IV


Book Description

In MUSES IV, 'Magic Unisons', as the title indicates, the word magic explains best those moments, when during the process of composing word sequences that gradually become verses and stanzas, and could lead to a whole cycle of compositions, like in the 'Chants of a Traveling Bard'. For love, in 'Magic Unisons', transferred into many shades of enjoyment and happy feelings, one's Muses certainly stimulate the poet with their sensual impulses: This cannot be stored like goods, but the traces of those happy moments are still embedded in the poet's soul and the souls of all people engaged in creative work. Fascinating are the times one spends looking through one's creative output of one year that usually happens at the end of it when the mood is influenced by dark ominous cloud formations, snowfall that reflects the dusky light, fine stringing rain, unexpected storms, and foggy mystical mornings. Indeed, magical unisons are unique.




MUSES II


Book Description

The sequel to Muses, the first Memoir, has come to me naturally, meeting women who became Muses. Some of them have been with me for many years. And since my art exhibition called: Musai (Muses), where I depicted my artistic response to the image of the Classical Muses with a contemporary style, and was accepted by the Fine Arts School of Athens, at their gallery in Plaka, the Muses seem to have honored me with their presence, whenever I write, draw, and paint. They have been the motor for my artistic endeavors, creating poetry and prose, drawings, and paintings. I have been visited, especially by three Muses, who invited me to dance with them. I gladly followed and could achieve an inspired record with my second book: MUSES II - The Poet who enjoys dancing with his Muses.

LOVE & ART


Book Description

Love & Art, Volume Two, will continue with Songs of Passion and contain, following the theme of art in dialogue with lyric poetry, the 90 drawings plus one that have been composed together, some before the ballad's creation, some after it, as the total freedom of creativity has driven me. As we grew up with Storge, the love for our family, I have experienced during my life seven modes of love: Eros and Philos, which I have encountered most of the time, especially during my youth and the middle ages of maturity. Yet, the experience of the intensity of these modes of love came with my passion for the Fine Arts, when my teachers guided me along the road of tapping into the fount of ideas and fantasy, where the sources for my creativity lie. Compassionate love, I have only experienced when the tragedy of a terminated illness of a beloved Muse became apparent through her sparkling health of beauty vanishing as if an unseen force had turned down the dimmer switch of life and her suffering started with her physical disintegration. I felt pain and suffering with her and helped her the best I could to give selfless love and support. I have detected my notebooks with the right paper for writing and drawing with ink pens. A series of volumes exists in various notebooks. I endeavour to publish them in a sequence with my original creative activities to provide my readers with an inside view into those times of immense innermost conflicts, happiness, and pain accompanying love and inspire these artistic dialogues.




MUSES III


Book Description

The poet had been waking to fine experiences of his conscious being, whereby the transition area, between the subconscious and the conscious levels, opened up a garden of earthly and spiritual delights, as a designed stage upon a stage by one of his favourite Muses, he calls his 'A-Muse'. So, waking in love seemed to fit the description. Into this garden, he'd commute daily and would meet and communicate with artists of fame and also with talented contemporaries, while his Muses danced in a traditional sensual roundabout in and out of his room, high above the rooftops of Vienna,




CLOUDS


Book Description




Clouds II


Book Description

When the poet experienced Aphrodite's personified sexual desires as a 'Dancing Eros' in Book I, he will also appear as a sweet 'Winged Child' throwing his arrows with a deadly aim, making no difference where or on what continent he'll show up, or which gender he chooses at random. But parties in full swing are his preferred spots to mingle, where the young and the young at heart gather with an expectation for a good time, a sensual flirt, or perhaps with good luck finding a matching partner in love.




Muses


Book Description

Inspired by Andre Brink's book: "Before I forget," I have thought about my own Muses, who I met during my life, and who inspired me to write poetry - love poetry - short stories, and novels. I have been blessed by so many wonderful women, who have been great friends, besides partaking with me in various sessions at 'Writers Write' workshops, assisting me with forging my enthusiasm for writing into an emerging personal style under Amanda's caring guidance. Much later, I realized the quality of those writing workshops that brought out the best in us in search of self-expression in our literary efforts. I wish to honor them all, writing about their importance to me, their dedication and time, during our relationships. Experiencing friendship and love will be the motor for inspired writing and the greatest gift for the poet. Muses appear in person and their number might be three, six, and nine, depending on their tasks, as known from Classical Greek mythology. Picasso stated that an artist has his personal Muse, extending their numbers to ten. In this sense, I have a peek at my artistic endeavors by experiencing my own tenth Muse. who guided me along to my self-realization in the arts.




Poetry of the innermost


Book Description

The poet wishes to thank all the women who met him in a virtual and real life, being good listeners and also outstanding friends, sharing their time and interests, especially in times of sorrow and when he suffered a severe depression after the death of his poetry-partner and teacher of literature, who considered him as a friend and equal partner sharing interests in literature, poetry, and the arts. The poet will thank them all for he'll publish his work, now as the ink has dried, and it reflects their mature relationship, be it virtual or in tactile reality, the precious times of happiness, when they saved him spiritually and physically, returning from the dark abyss of a mental breakdown and suicidal thoughts. These thanks include everybody, who had contact with the poet especially during the critical years of '04 and '05, when the poet had to return mentally and physically to the world of the living, so that he could process his emotional world into poetry and publish it to the interested reader. Perhaps some people may have had a similar experience with a soul-mate, love partner, twin flame, and a close friend. Viva all mature women!
