"Nada" by Bear Step (Excerpt)
"Nothing touches your skin of sweat
(meltdown of oceanic kisses)
when the purple light
whispers to the moon
in silent moonlit clarity."

From "Un Beso de Fuego" (A Kiss of Fire) by Bear Step
“I taste you
in the fleshy fruit of the guayaba
that melts as slowly
as your kisses
in my mouth –
your eyes that explode in sunlight,
your humid, fluid voice
the soft, oceanic touch of your fingertips.”
in the fleshy fruit of the guayaba
that melts as slowly
as your kisses
in my mouth –
your eyes that explode in sunlight,
your humid, fluid voice
the soft, oceanic touch of your fingertips.”

Amazon Reviewer:
"Like a painting by Paul Gauguin, Bear Step's poetry takes me far away from my cold northwest home and to a place where volcano breezes and gentle tides embrace me. Like a young Pablo Neruda, but with the punk rock immediacy from his roots, this thematic collection of short poems creates a complete visual place-setting of life in the tropics. Embedded in the travelogue is a romanticism of bodily love and love lost. Lines like, "With the steady slur of the surf, hot hands gently pull me out to sea, to taste the roses of the sun embedded in the flavors of foreign lands" sail from Step with ease, like a slowly rising tide masking the deep turbulent ocean." - Randy Blazak, Author of Mission of the Sacred Heart
