You can take a flight
You can ride a rail
You can catch the cab
That you just hailed

You can row a boat
Via the seven seas
All that I want
Is you here by me

Fly a rocket ship
Through the Milky Way
Beam yourself up
On a futuristic day

If you ride a bike
Could you pedal fast
I want you now
Is all I ask

A hot air balloon
Might be to slow
But will work for me
If it's reliable

Guess what I'm saying
It doesn't matter how you choose
As long as the final destination
Is me and you

You say “gross” but I see yum
Even when you feel undone
You will never be tasteless to me
My dear, you add so much flavor you see,
Sugar and spice, those things can be nice
But you are more, nothing else will suffice
After tasting your infectious personality
Nothing else tastes of such quality
You glowing, vibrant, radiant heart
What better place to start?
Adds flavor, and color to my life too
I hope you know, I hope you see it true
Your lovely eyes that sparkle and gleam
So pretty, nothing ever as nice will be seen
Your little nose, cuter than any button
[ignore this line, nothing rhymes with button]
Your gently mouth; your lush lips
That joyful smile, when the corner tips
Just slightly up, stretching, reaching
All this to say, my dear sweet Darling,
Even when you feel it to be
You say “gross” but I see yum
Even when you feel undone
this is really bad, but all i've got.

Nothing So Sensuous


Last night, I went back in time and met Alice Liddell in 1862.  
Alice Pleasance Liddell, known for most of her adult life by her married name, Alice Hargreaves, inspired the children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, whose protagonist Alice is said to be named after her.  See her, greet her, in my banner photo, and all will clear.
~~~~~~~~~

nothing so sensuous
as to watch a woman,
nay, a woman child,
brush her hair
in the mirror.

sensuous,
more than sensual,
all my senses
affected.

luxuriating in a gift that
cannot be
bought,
her head titled,
then thrown
from her chest as far back,
your eyes see waves
of chestnut in
slow motion,
the smile on her face
for the knowing that
she has
sorcerer succeeded
in capturing
all of you.

mesmerizer,
she languidly strokes
her hair,
though it needs it not.
no, she brushes you
to your
knees,
your eyes,
see her eyes,
in the mirror,
the woman's sensuality
maddening.

every sense alerted,
you body fired,
far beyond
merely stirred,
she has you,
and then she asks...

would you brush my hair?
have you ever been in love?
have you ever had to tell someone
you no longer loved them
though you still did?


you answer:

Oh yes, Oh may I?

yes, with you totally, at this very instant.

yes, for I
must leave you
and return to
my time, my age,
150 years from now


the only way
I can do that
is to lie to myself,
no, I do not love you
that much,
not that way,
pretense,
for the agony of this


impermissible desire

is such ecstasy,
that I can
only dare to
write of it,
in my time,
lest I fulfill
it in ours.
A true story, a true adventure. If u want to time travel with me, then u must come to NYC, for that is where I depart.  All expenses paid for time travel.  You come here, we travel. Must be 21 and over and bring proof of age.  They are Fussy, about that!
Also, must make reservation well in advance. Small time travel machine accommodates only 15 people....and currently the only "destination" is Victorian England.

I just ate an apple
I sunk my teeth into its flesh
Call me disgusting, rebuke my perverseness
I wish I’d sunk my teeth into you

Tasted your skin
Tasted your blood
Oh my sweet if you only understood
The thoughts inside my head

Heard you pant
Heard you scream
Am I still the pretty boy that I seem?
Laughter fills my head

I tell you you’re delicious
Do you really know what I mean?
A delectable act, one that cannot redeem
I lick my lips

I don’t want to eat you all up
Just leave bites all over your perfect skin
Nothing else is allowed to defect or ruin
Your flesh but me

Do you still want me?
Does this scare you away
Or turn you on, make you want to stay
I told you I’m a vampyre
sorry it's a whack rhyming scheme.

My dear, my darling sweet
I’m sorry I let you down; Love is a most difficult feat
Pray, listen to the words my heart sings
A song inspired by your beautiful image, ever lingering
Always you are in my spirit, and on my mind
Every waking minute, my thoughts search out to find
The only one who’s beauty is unmatched
My sweet Firefly, you will always have my attention attached
To your heart and soul
Such beauty unfathomable
Love whisper softly that I’m forgiven
I will fall, but I’ll do my best, to never let you down again
Your every word; your precious voice
Lifts me up, makes me strong, I cannot but help—I’ve lost the choice
Look at me sweet, would you show me your eyes?
I hope you don’t mind, I can see into your soul, you have no disguise
But I’ll protect you, and be your guard
Melt with me love, letting go of you would be much to hard
I want your beauty always near
You ease my pain, you calm my fear
I know I’ll let you down; I know I’ve already done so
But Firefly, oh precious one, please don’t go…
I’ll sing you my song I’ll sing you my best
I’ll tell you any truth at your gentle request
I want you to see your beauty and strength
Can I be your mirror? Take a good look at length
Can you see in my eyes? You make my insides melt
You’re generous love’s unending; something I’ve never felt
Oh what a glorious heart, oh that radiant stone
After only hours with you, I didn’t want to be alone
Would you give a fool a gift?
Gently, softly gaily lift
I wish my dear to see your smile
A moment is long enough…or you could wear it for a while
Forgive my tragic, broken words
I’m sorry for everything you’ve ever heard
I cannot speak, my words are a curse
I wish you could hear my soul…if only for a verse
Not gonna lie: I hate this poem, sharing it anyways.

You already know I want to taste you
But you little turn on, wanting to taste me too
I don’t mind appealing to you
But it will always be only for you that I do
Do I drive you crazy?
Is it just my vision that’s getting hazy…?
Come on over here
You can close your eyes, I won’t disappear
I really hope I drive you mad
I don’t care if it’s really “bad”
You’re not the only one who can play this game babygirl
Feels good to be desired sometimes.

Driving miles and miles and miles to see your face,
Hear your voice call my name,
Touch your lips, feel our hearts race

Past three months haven’t been the same
Something clicked, everything changed
What is the reason, who is to blame?

My mind was distorted, confused, deranged
She calmed me and showed me a light
Return from the darkest holes can be arranged…

My mind’s not at war, there is no fight
I want only to show her love
My single—my greatest delight

Sometimes it takes a push—a shove!
To awaken from our sleep,
Thank you my dear you woke me up
I’m forever yours to keep.
I actually do have writers block as suggested by the previous poem, I only had to write the last three lines of this one, wrote the rest of it a while ago.

Not once, not twice, a thousand times or more
I want to change, pursuing the perfect of lore
Wishing to be the person everyone loves; not a façade
A gilded cover I wear so well, my shelter; my god
This wasn’t my hope; this wasn’t my dream
I want to be the person that to others I seem
But I’m painfully aware, what a shattered mess
Broken to pieces, who wouldn’t think less
Less of the person they thought they knew
It’s their own fault, they never even wanted to
Be there, be helpful, be heard, be kind
And you’re surprised I say, “There’s no hope to find”

I wish I could stand, could fight; be brave
I’ve tried before, when I was young, and naïve
Over time I thought I’ve been beaten down
But gotten back up, gone for another round
But the whole time I’m bound to the floor
Helplessly dying, drowning in my own ****** gore
My appearance is a hero, dashing, strong and calm
But my heart is pinned, consumed by my qualm
I want to be good, I want to be right
Sometimes I hate my deceitful sight
But whenever I’m sure hope is in my grasp
A fiery strike from truth; that poison snake; that asp

Hands and heart are bound, but my tongue is free
Free to get up and run, but my eyes cannot see
I need a hope, a hand to hold, a voice to follow
But no one’s here; not friend at least, there be a horde of foe
I want to scream, but I’ve tried that before
I confess I’m lost! A broken heart alone on the floor
When do I get saved? I can’t rely on myself
My tormenters wait to put my heart upon the shelf
Another trophy, another victory won
Please, dear God, don’t turn and run
You could win; you could save me couldn’t you?
I’m helpless, there’s nothing left for me to do

But why won’t you show or speak, or rescue me?

Don’t go down the rabbit hole!

Oh love you’re lost and alone
Wandering, searching, far from your home
You love what you found; your false sense of security
I’ll do my best to be everything you need

I’ll pull you out of your wonderland
Not as wondrous as it seems
You say “up” but I see “down”
I’ll lift you up out of the ground

Your imagination’s a beautiful thing
But think of the nightmare it can bring
Don’t get lost in the darkness in us all
Would you even leave, if I called?

I’ll pull you out of your wonderland
Not as wondrous as it seems
You say “up” but I see “down”
I’ll lift you up out of the ground

My little light, firefly
Always want you to be near by
Be the light, guide the way
Fight your way out, you cannot stay

I’ll pull you out of your wonderland
Not as wondrous as it seems
You say “up” but I see “down”
I’ll lift you up out of the ground

I’ll pull you out; I’ll save you
Be everything you ever needed
But it doesn’t seem like you want to leave it
Don’t change your mind or fool your heart
The choice is yours…
‘til death and you depart
I wrote this intended as a song, but I'm not as musical as I wish so it remains moderately poetic.
