Fifty strains of flu
Painful needle looms so large
Do these vaccines work

You lay supine,
bent luscious-legs,
a genuine beauty,
a pearl,
twirling your hair
with sweet intent.

O, you must be Heaven sent,
perhaps, I am your gent!

I've spent a lifetime
for this moment,
the moment
you captured mine,
lent me your heart.

Neon flickered ghostlike
with honks desperate below,
someone shouted down the hall.
Her cigarette smoldered
rancid smoke,
swirling up into
a fan spinning
lifelessly.

We lied,
naked in rough splendor,
side-by-side,
her leg cracked high
in a v,
my hand rested
on her sweaty thigh,
we giggled breathlessly,
inhaled guilty-pleasures,
our exquisite rumbling
was beautiful,
her and me.

I wanted to crawl
into her
again
&
again
&
again.

And if I could have,
I would've stayed
in that seedy room,
forever
on the
wrong side of this desolate,
unforgiving town.

Fingers crossed...

I read the sonnet,
true
you desire me
and feel the mystery.

I see the distance
between your gasps,
between
your fingers
you grasp and
think of me.

Two souls kiss embraced
Exchanging fiery streams
Dreamy nirvana

I hear the drone
a mile away,
the endless stream of traffic,
truckers & autos
pushing on in
the stillness
of a winter morn,
no sun to guide them,
just endless rows
of highway lights.

I fight the loneliness
with my woolen blanket,
realizing
my feet are cold,
listening alone.

Go ahead,
do it,
reach out,
touch me
with style,
your grace,
hidden face,
give me,
pen me
written word.

The fullmoon glow trickles
into the stillness
of my empty room,
where I lie awake,
naked atop cool sheets,
burning.

I feel your presence
wrapped around me,
warming yourself
with my wantonness,
my desire to be,
to be part of something,
part of something supernatural,
craving the same thing,
eternal love,
forever.
