Cantos Libidos - Galos, Z J

. .

Résumé :
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.

Biographie:
Born in Eastern Austria, close to the Hungarian border, he witnessed as a young man the horrors of a nation's suppression, erupting in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. He finished his education in art and architecture in Vienna, married, and sailed for the Cape of Africa, an adventure that followed his childhood dreams. He had drawn African animals for his art classes, but the time had come to see them in their natural habitat.
Meeting a varied facet of people and cultures, working as a draughtsman in an engineering office, as an architect for a cultural centre, as a coordinator of craftsmen and professionals, he made good use of his language skills travelling throughout Southern Africa.
During a trip to Lesotho, a native artist showed him rock paintings with their stark palimpsest outlines and with typified movements of animals and humans. It made a lasting impression on him and influenced his artistic work.
His vast collection of drawings and slides had been lost during a change of domiciles, but further studies of the art of the San-people reawakened his dormant artistic longing for expression of his art, filling sketchbooks with drawings and notepads with poetry and prose. While revisiting the capitals of Europe, he sensed the bond of art being borderless and free, reaching out across continents into the world.
During a visit to Greece, he was accepted into a circle of artists and poets, who encouraged him to continue his art and a friend introduced him to the works of famous Greek poets.
In South Africa, he joined writing and poetry workshops of 'Writers Write'. It was to open the floodgates of his creativity.
He decided to travel through Greece and visit its sites of antiquity, read up on Classical mythology, and enjoy translations of Greek poetry and prose.
He settled 2013/14 in Klosterneuburg-Weidling. Poet Nikolaus Lenau is buried here. Franz Kafka had stayed here. Their writings will always be an inspiration.
