"..and if I die before I learn to speak...can money pay for all the days I've live awake, but half asleep?" (1) Post by Aleksandar Ares, Poems & photos by K.K.W

A little bit of golden light [Near Grand Army Plaza,
Brooklyn N.Y]

                       Thy night is brisk,

                   with subdued temperatures

                         Flowing behind,

                   a hue quite somber in soul,

                     though spirited in shade

                          Tinted cobalt

                 with undertones...of silent screams.

                            [New York]

In pursuit of the perfect Martini. 

                      A spark in the night

                      Whispers in the wind

              Moments building, to over-flowing joy

                Against the grain I seek to touch,

                the heart of it, in spite of lust

                 No more jests, the lies are gone

             Take my hand...or leave me to my grief.

                     [A moment of clarity]

Wurdulac (The Vampire Aleksandra).  

                A look, a glance, a favored thing

                 Turn now to me, and give me this

              Your words from thoughts, deep within,

                    favor me above all others

                     Let me savor all of you

                   Keep me warm in your embrace

                  Trust in me...I crave only you.

                       [30 days of night]

Sonja on Mott street, near  Bleeker.

                More a thought, in place of pain,

                   rather than an open phrase

         A word of lust, bespeaking an effervescent kiss

                Atop my ego...I fall to her grace.

                            [Miriam]

K.K.W (Kerwin Kendell Williamson) is a visual artist, poet, art-critic, curator & internationalist. These four poems are from his early works (2007 - 2009), when he lived on Saint Marks Place in Brooklyn, N.Y (sharing the top floor of a town-house with Monika - a young woman of Polish decent from Baton Rouge, Louisiana who was his muse, at the time). (1) from the song "Standing outside a broken phone with money in my hand" by Primitive Radio Gods. If you would like to view some of his art-work, go to:www.fotoblur.com/people/kerwin.
