I can't change my heart
Who can?

A warm, wrapped-up love soaks all
that is me -
To remain.

I love the way your smile just sits there
Comfortably
Beneath the mischief in your eyes.
You have that look
like you know what you've got going on
but without the arrogance to match.

We talk about life
Yours, mine
It makes me wish we had an "ours"

I wish I could shake this feeling of betrayal
this hatred of my feelings as they bloom
I promised to never love another...

though I find myself wondering how your hair smells
how your sighs sound
how your silhouette would fill the dark with light..

how foolish to fall in love through words
but the more the words fall
the more I find myself falling with them
helpless against the flow
my rudder trashed
my course set
by your compass
pulling me to my true North
as I fight to hold on to my ghosts.

Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few—love at all.

Libidos high,
Thigh to thigh,
Fingers intertwined.
*******,
Perfection,
Under clothes we slide.
Quick to breathe,
Meeting sheets
As we depart from our chairs.
Nearly starved,
Back arched,
Hands pulling hair.
Sweet memory,
Reverie:
You all over me.
Quick kiss
To the hips,
Devour my body.
Make it ache,
Earthquake,
Start to tremble with lust.
Naked breast
On your chest,
Tick tock--COMBUST.
Rise higher,
Entice her,
****** desire.
Take me,
Embrace me,
A lover's empire.
Tongue to tongue,
Move as one,
Tangled forms we grasp.
Seduction,
Eruption
Sweet lovers' ******.

I write my words in sand not stone,
realizing the impossibility of forever.
The moon reflects the sun as your eyes
reflect my soulless being. The sea roars
calm, quiet breeze. Deprived of this spirit
as all else is. We are now more than forever away;
and the sun- eternal as it is today.
So now i write my words in sand,
the waves know all that I have to say.

The pipes inside my head are about to burst
I will flood my heads basement with words I will never speak
I will write them on firewood
Watch them burn as the ashes of what I wish to whisper in your ear, wisp away on a cool summers breeze
To an island of misguided momentary thoughts
Where they will perish
Along with desire
