Ecstasy
5/13/2005 |
I had a dream of you tonight
under a crescent moon
your skin was warm
in my mouth
your breath sweet
on my tongue
I inhaled
and you came
inside me
the stars danced
to the music of your sighs
the ground trembled
under the thunder
words had no meaning
guttural ...

I Gave Myself A Moment
11/19/2001 |
I gave myself a moment, tonight
to see your inner beauty
before I lusted
for the beauty
of your skin
that faint, odd reflection
always seems to remind me
of the heat
your face
in a bottle of Bacardi gold
that passes
for passion
between us
lust that passes
for love
on nights when the weather is bad
self-control is worse
bring on the thunder
ground shaking
intense
echoing our screams
the noise of the storm
crashing around ...

I Smell Fire on the Air Tonight
9/9/2001 |
I smell fire on the air tonight
it makes me think of you
silk pajamas
red wine
a cabin hideaway
the air smelled
just like this
autumn
flames
your touch
was soft
your voice
tender
I wanted you then
the taste of your skin
the feel of your nearness
your kiss
upon my heart
I want you tonight

To K--
8/30/2001 |
Written for my lovely K-- who I lust after still...
I dreamt you tonight
creating silken flesh
from the mist
liquid skin
enfolding my temporal soul
soft full lips
breathing into me
tender hands
emerging
gliding my belly
my breasts
a glimpse of hair
yours…mine
…ours…
words upon my ear
whispered

Untitled, August 2, 2001
8/2/2001 |
the glow of wine
warms me
a bottle and a half
of Merlot
my skin burns
as our words
turn to forbidden thoughts
a friend,
a warm desire
your touch traces fire
across my cheek
leaving me parched
and gasping for air
our lips
trespass slowly
upon flesh left bare
never reaching
for what we both desire ...

Untitled #2, August 1, 2001
8/1/2001 |
with eyes closed
I breathe outward
feeling the moist air
slip past my lips
in anticipation of something
warmer still
I tremble within
awaiting the touch
I have known in my dreams
the ache begins in my breasts
and warms my belly
even as hands begin
near my toes
sliding up parted legs
as I hold my breath now
lips parted for a kiss,
a tongue hot against my own
I am afraid to open my eyes
yet I crave the sight
of this man,
this lover
almost as much as I crave
the ...

I Promised Myself
7/29/2001 |
I promised myself
wine and roses
I promised myself
wine and roses
luck never was a lady
but gave in to Bacardi
instead
not that I’m drunk
maybe its cleaner
or faster at least
feeling more like
Stallone
than Gere
I’m not picky
I just know what I want
frustration penetrates
my desire
just like you do ...

it was a lie to think
7/27/2001 |
it was a lie to think
she was anything more
than what she became
in the eyes
of a stranger
it was truth to know
he might be content
in the scented circle
of her fleshy
arms and legs
captured in that moment
between truth
and lie
between passion
and death
she denies herself
and is lost
he remembers himself
and dies

An Unconventional Love Sonnet
6/14/2000 |
born late, like Lady Aphrodite from the sea
of semen and blood dispensed into the writhing foam
come ashore on tempest winds to the sandy loam
she walks out of myth into this reality
and he, taken in by her words and poetic dreams
never fully notices that her face is plain
her cheeks are full, her pale eyes once touched by the rain
echo ancient aching behind their radiant beams
in emotion he had long denied himself to feel
despite his seniority and apparent fear
(his ...

Loss
2/1/1998 |
I am destitute within myself
void of all but my flaccid will
the tears have dried
my heart no longer echoes
the aching beat of his
and yet I remain
stolid, unmoving as stone
barely conscious of the breath
going in and out of me
robbed of every thought
by the trespassing beauty
of his vagrant soul
slipping past mine
drifting away on a nether breeze
to touch another with the cool kiss
of his presence

The First Time
1/1/1998 |
I was, of course, afraid at first,
tense and apprehensive
with the newness
of it all
but your touch was kind
soothing my jangled nerves
even as
the hardest part
pushed against me
your voice was soft, caressing me,
like a hand across my skin
in all the right places
exploring the sensations, the ecstasy
to bring me
along with you
and drop me
unexpectedly
in bliss

my favorite mistake
1/1/1990 |
I cried alone tonight
a little bit for you
you always seem
to know
the ways to make me cry
and a little was for me
they say it’s good
for the soul
I don’t know
what the rest was for
maybe it was goodbye
or just goodbye for now
it seemed so
final somehow
my heart just isn’t in this
anymore
like the song says
my favorite mistake
I guess I’ve finally
learned the lesson
you were meant
to teach

Leaving
1/1/1990 |
Leaving
twisted separation
rips you from me
an act of fate
a sign,
you say
as you leave
but maybe my faith
in fate
isn’t all it used to be,
maybe I need more
to go on
than your placating assurances
that it wasn’t meant
to be
and your kiss
on my cheek
the “let’s be friends” speech
after all I’ve given you
I also require
the truth

and the silence is gone
1/1/1990 |
and the silence is gone
You say you love me and I turn away
my heart pounding with fear
and deeply passionate emotions
Your face turns cold as my silence reaches you
and your cold anger and resentment
resonates around the room
Vibrates off the walls, and through me
and still I fear
more than I feel
You say goodbye and leave my world
the sound echoes in this room

I Have Sinned
1/1/1990 |
I have Sinned
I have sinned
Let me say it slowly
I have wanted him
craved him
I have tasted the salt
of his skin and tears
and sweat
I have heard his intimate
thoughts, desires, needs
Listened to his hushed
and silent prayers
I know all of him
his body, his mind
his soul
the touch of his eyes on my skin
the music of his breath ...

The Joining
1/1/1990 |
The Joining
Upon a thousand beams of starlight
Descending slowly to the earth
Stepping from ethereal night
To grace this humble hearth
The fragile fragment of unnamed dreams
Turns an angelic head my way
A beauty so divine, serene
To shame the light of day
Astral eyes sparkle a perfect blue,
A spectral face becoming flesh
Pristine as the morning dew
My heart ensnared, enmeshed
Watching breathlessly as slowly he
Steps closer now, his hand to mine,
His eyes, those eyes, look ...

Silent Thundering
1/1/1990 |
Silent Thundering
I come before you
wearing my anticipation
and little else
apprehension
and ecstasy
mingle in sweat
with passionate forays
into intimate places
daring the senses
to comprehend
the shivering
of orgasmic climax
silently thundering
as bodies collide
steam rises
from heated flesh
and disappears
in the night

There You Are
1/1/1990 |
There You Are
Across a thousand lifetimes, and more
Within a thousand places, searching,
Glimpsing in some lost corner
A tiny fragment of that sacred face
And turning to find a stranger
Across a thousand lifetimes, and dreams
Waiting within a breathless moment
For a blessed memory from my youth
Lost within the ages and tragedies
Held hopeful in my heart
Across a thousand lifetimes, and there,
Upon the bench where two children sat
To dry each other's eyes and say their ...

I Wanted
1/1/1990 |
I Wanted
I wanted him to touch me,
caress my naked breast
but not my naked soul
I wanted him to taste me,
the smoky taste of my desires
but not the salt of my tears
I wanted him to want me,
crave the touch of my tongue
but not the beating of my heart
I wanted his lust for me,
the feel of his manhood in my mouth
but not of his heart in my hand
I wanted him beneath me,
above me, inside me, filling me
but not beside me in the morning
I wanted his sex, his male ...

It Isn't That Easy
1/1/1990 |
It isn't that easy
I won't let it be
You come in here
with your fancy words
trying to seduce me
trying to make me like you
but it isn't that easy
I am nothing like you
I am your equal
your compliment
and all your pretty compliments
won't get you in my pants
won't get you into my bed
flattery is for those who need it
and I don't
so before you open
that crooked smile
and loose that wicked tongue
think about
our bodies twined together
imagine
the riotous ...

I'm Not Myself Tonight
1/1/1990 |
I’m Not Myself Tonight
I got drunk again tonight
and you know I don't drink
thinking about you
and the bad times we had
together don't we make an art
out of war?
and the way your tongue had
of finding that spot
no one else can do it like you
I downed six rum-n-cokes
in an hour's time
fucking myself
furiously against time
like you used to do
smoking half a pack of Marlboro lights
I haven't smoked in years
as I watched some stupid old ...

eclipsing your soul
1/1/1990 |
eclipsing your soul
your eyes sparkle
dancing to the music
in your heart
my own eyes dance
across your face
smiling in spite of myself
the beauty of you
inspires me,
tickles me,
creates in me a need
knowing that all of me
the sum total of my being
is nothing
when compared to the star
which you become
all I can hope to be
is that which
comes between
you and the world
eclipsing your soul's greatness
with the weight of my own
hoarding all of its warmth
for the long, ...

Stay
1/1/1990 |
Stay
"stay with me", I softly sighed
and softer still his voice replied
"forever and a day, I'll bide
tomorrow comes, today denied"
there within his arms I cried
and held myself to him confide
with kisses kind my tears he dried
in moments soft two hearts are tied
lay low in love our mortal pride
and harsher words now set aside
fine, his fingers, on my skin do glide
with passion as his only guide
our selves are lost within the slide
of bodies pulled in forceful tide

two hands
1/1/1990 |
two hands
not the hands
of vital youth
nor those
of ancient age
two hands
touch tentatively
in the first
touch of love
not the lives
which might have been
nor those
which still might be
two lives
brought together
in midstream
timidly
not the love
of yesterday
nor that
of budding flowers
the natural
progression
of friends
of hearts
in love
two lives joined
two hearts
entwined
in circles
around one
another
two circles
two hands

With This Ring
with this ring, I offer you
the part of me
which has waited a lifetime
to find you
with this ring, I give myself
the gift of you
of your presence
beside me
with this ring, I step aside
and join your life
to mine
passions will cool
and moments will pass
in the end all that matters
is this friendship
which brings us together
today
and that which will remain
long past the vows
and promises
with this ring, I find
forever within
the perfect form

The Landscape of Forever
1/1/1990 |
The Landscape of Forever
if I said forever
could you even know
how long that is
my soul quickens
to be near you
and I feel that we
have been inside this moment
a time or two before
across the landscape of forever
we race together
connected at the soul
and forever is my thought
as I touch your face
your eyes display for me
all I need to see
of who you are
and who you were
when last we met
your lips part in breathing
and I am taken in
your movements are soft
your ...

Heket's Touch
1/1/1990 |
Mighty Heket
I implore thee
to my side
I have danced with
the Kourtes
and Silvani
till dawn
Pan's pipes
whistle
through the wood
he has filled me
and the womb
where I have grown
my son
grows weary
I invoke thee
bring forth
the fertility
once planted
and ease the final
pains with your touch
upon me

When the Soul is Found Empty
1/1/1990 |
When the soul is found now empty upon a bed of salted tears
and nothing is left to answer for the raging of the years:
when silent sits the sorrowed heart, wrapped up within a chill,
and softly settled childhood dreams are laying hushed and still;
In a moment serene and silent on a thought of yesterday
I whisper low and bid farewell to two children once at play
When the Fates have tempted Destiny to duel the setting sun,
and dreams weaved through the night-time have ended `ere ...
