This fate
Or magic of the ancients
That lead me onto your scent in the
wind which lead
Me to the sea
Where I find you
Hustling steamer plates and lager
Mopping up spilled wine and dreams
I grabbed you
and pulled your lifeless  corpse into mine
For we are now but shells
We cling for a moment to the warmth
Disregarding the hundred eyes and faces
We have no words
Im sure we have billions
Its only a fleeting visit
Before time runs short
Your arms encircle me twice more.
Timing was right today
But theres too much life in the way
We have no words
Back to reality
And I step out look upon the shore
The ache in my stomach is with me no more
I will be back for you my love
And
When the tides change
We will sail
6 months later

Coffee: the best you can find at the ghetto 3rd St. grocer  
I smoked half your ciggs one day because I had spent all my money making sure we had the best breakfast coffee and cream. It was worth it to see the corners of your lips turn into that mug; steam rising into your morning face, and hear the sigh of comfort. I dont settle for less now.
Nothing like that first sip
You said

Bleach: I awaited your arrival like a sentry awaiting relief. The gallons of bleach I poured into the tub and sinks. If only they could shine like you. This home would be a palace when you arrived,always.

The house looks great!
You said

Beer: There will always be one for you in my fridge…I spent countless hours standing in line to fill the drawer; where vegetables would live in most homes, with brews of taste and supplement. Or at least they get you drunk. To see the glimmer in your wild Irish eyes and take the edge off the struggle.

Awesome, Ill get you one too.
You said

Bacon: because its bacon. 2 hours of cooking. A full spread with pancakes and mimosas to lift your sleepy head. Fruit and the fluffiest scrambled eggs. I was blissful watching you fill your plate and belly, caring not for my own comfort but to fill your soul with love.

Did you eat yet, get some food.
You said
Wishing my lips could say what my heart holds..i try in every way to show it when you come around. But do you know it?

Maybe something simple will suffice
I can see a lot of light
But I love even your darkness
My fingers spell your name
In dead languages
I can't read, but I can sing
Even louder than your demons scream

Maybe its not as simple as I would like
I can see a lot of life
But death in your hair I want to hold
My fingers draw your face
There's no color, but every line
Becomes the reason I will live
Even the pain you feel is my hope for tomorrow

*Fingers wrapped around smooth contours,
chilled perspiration beads as
transparent affections slowly pour
Tenderly caressing your silken neck,
whispering over ice glistened visions
Tempting a desperate taste,
silently teasing my undying thirst
Drenching these quivering lips,
coated with intoxicating flavor
Warming from the inside out,
fueling the fires of my imagination
Blurring my sight of exotic beauty,
as we become one this lonely night
Falling deeply in the seduction
with inebriated tears staining my cheeks,
facing solitude in the spinning darkness,
realizing(once again) in this drunken stupor
of broken hearts and shattered bottles -
even the best ***** will not
help me forget you

The heartbeat
screaming
my chest near eruption


across the
greens and tans
and blacks and whites
to you the grasses
…the sands
and the roads
that bridge the distance
between your smile
aye an mine the
touch of a hand that ignited
a spark once
a many moons ago
you there screaming
back to me your souls
  beat and
the rhythm
the answer
I hear it now
too loud


its starcrossed fables
predicted this course
it was done
******* born
from the pages
tragedy..oh Romeo
oh *******

beating is blinding  


too loud to ****

to true to steal

the alcohol burns my soul
the beat is too loud.. I scream
the rhythm beats on
the drugs ache in my viens but
your soul beats on  over the spaces
and time


the floor shaking and
withdraw and sober
We watch each other
Die a thousand
Days
The struggle moves on


I horizontal to the left


we fight the current and it kills us
oh but what a way to go..
drowning in your love
waves of darkness
the rhythm drowns
out the darkness
the demons fear
the rhythm and the
..the light
.. the light
will meditated on this...it was pure emotion no thought.. just fury  of fingertips tapping..

Shaded woods between our houses;
You run to me and I to you.
Your father’s dapper blue suit;
My mother’s pearls.
Delicate lady lace and feathers.
Your freckles stand out under this
Waning summer moon.
Shall I know love this night?
Or is it still too soon?
Your hands lower me down onto
Her sea stained bow.
The smell of bog and salt hang in the air
Oppressing my youthful lung.
Shove off......
From the furrow,
To the silver sea.
Where is this you intend to take me?
Gentle lapping of the blacked
Tide is the only voice I hear.
I feel you glance my way,
Through the strands of auburn hair
Tousled round my face.
an older work I brushed up today :)
