You are a
gentleness factory;
I want to
wrap my heart
up in all your
easy goods.

Move to the energy
of love which balances
the chaos of existence.
Love for yourself.
Love for your lover.
Love for the universe.
Make it a prayer.
Meditate upon it.
Dance actively among
the waves and photons.
Make it a dance of joy.
Dance yourself to ecstasy.
Become the energy
you sought and smile
at the fangs of death.
This is the only
immortality available.
Be at home in the world
you have made.
Where else can you live?
Where else would you want to?
Dance where you are.
Smile.

If I saw you
naked and dancing
in the pale moonlight,
your body
perfect in my mind,
your grace a holiness
of abandon,
a Muse of lust
and purity,
I would still be
jealous of Luna's eyes.

Avoid interstates and airplanes
whenever possible.
Never clean your shotgun
while depressed, listening to
George Jones and drinking whiskey.
Visit between the thighs of women,
but do not become stuck there.
Remember that gold is only a color.
Consider that while drunk
is sometimes absolutely necessary,
sober has its virtues, too.
Assume that you are wrong
and you will probably be right.
Believe in birdsong and blueberries.
Know that when the chips are down,
blood is usually thicker than water.
Doubt the lulling attractions
of usury and power.
If there is any way to stay clear
of marriage and war, do so.
Pay no attention to this list,
make your own, take it to heart,
and never consider it finished.

She was the
heavenly centerfold
in the magazine
of his imagination.
Taunting angel ****.
Too unreal to touch,
too real not to try.

You take my heart
I'll take yours

carefully gently
with skilled fingers

we will merge them
into one Heart

that beats so loudly
and with such wild joy

the very angels
will tremble above

stunned and amazed

by the sound of so much

mortal beauty

Hover above me
on your knees.
Let gravity pull
your *******
and your hair
toward my lips.

Put your hands
upon my shoulders.
Press like a panther.
Envelop what I am.
Undulate your hips
until they begin
to writhe in rhythm.

Until we become
only one entwined
bewitched being,
magically merging
without beginning,
without an end.

Eternal whirl of wonder.
