At times I need to glance at this.
When you’ve gone, I'll think fondly of
all the summers in your smile,
you’re just so beautiful here.

And now as I look ahead
at the times I'll again need
to rout the insufficient days without you
my eyes will fall on this

Thoughtfulness
fraying at the edges.
An old glossy paper memory
kept perfect, still —your smile,
that's mine. I’ll hold it near & dear

with me.
without you…

*** On The Beach   / by B. Decatoria

Breathing hard,
we swam in the ocean of one skin
bodies hot,
flushed with sweat,
then you fall  beside me
feigning to be tired.

I close my eyes then
and think about twilight on this beach,
if it will be you or the moon
walking alongside me, there
within the decrepitudes
of a waning one-night
stands your inconsequential
manhood...

As our Friday Late Night breathing
slows to a silence of regret,
you get up to towel down, while
I allow your power to dry on me.
Then you come and wipe away our ***,
kissing each spot where you had landed
yet you never consider
my lips...

MOONLIGHT
Lucid the nascent
Sleep — deep dark subconscious minds
Water-birthing dreams.

CONCUBINE
Wrapped in Red perfumes;
Soft business of Palest Moon;
Husband’s secret vice.

UNTIL
‘Til all songs are sung,
mortal breath becoming Wind;
‘Til Soul learns to swim.

LOTUS FLOWER
The morning blossom,
flora crown on tranquil pond;
She walks on water.
