flying free at night
twin sharp teeth of white
blood red need, throbbing bleed
ageless faces of eternal longing
blessed bite that brings belonging
fall towards my embrace
melancholy trace trickling from his tongue
naked mouth and I’m undone

Take my all, welcomed fiend
My hate, my love, my in-between
Ravish lips to lips and enter in
Forever hold, embrace of sin
Until I taste of your inferno
Together our memory eternal

Again…
I’d rather dream of you as I fight sleep
than rest and wake
knowing you are forever gone.

Wakeful in this midnight hour
I remember the dream that was reality.
Yes, those recollections most relived,
my favorite dreams
still wash ashore.
They have scraped deep paths of memory in my mind.
Now, for this microsecond moment
I am yours and you are mine
in my mind
there I am happy
& you are at peace.

The memory passes
I rouse from this waking dream
and resign myself to sleep in this reality
where you do not exist for me as I desire,
& sadly never will

Heartbroken, I cry
exhale a whisper
“goodnight”

You design a portal transcending space & time…
We’re there together now & then…
& in this Now, I enter…
Your blue, melancholy deep-set eyes await.
Sighs escape as we embrace.

Long I’m held in your long arms
As long my heart has held to hope.
Blood rushes;
Hearts beat faster, stronger.
In our shared presence bodies flush;
Faces blush.
Words catch in our speechless mouths
so we speak through touch
sentiments so long unsaid.
We find a perfect room, a bed.
You sit cross-legged facing me (like so long ago)
Secrets pour through channels that connect our souls
Forevermore.
As hearts collide in breathless bursting,
fireworks of feelings,
curvatures collide
joined by passion
rhythmic motion
our bodies, hearts, and souls are one
in that moment.

Spent
We part with lingering look and touch
Knowing we will meet again
when next the portal opens

Your imperfections fall in all the perfect ways.
My fantasies are memories and memories are fantasies with you.
You set my blood on fire but more—
You’ve been my friend.
My most broken screams have reached your ears.
Because of me, that sharpened boomerang of pain
has gouged your heart at times, and yet…
I know you’ll always care--that’s who you are.
I love being in love with you because
however hopeless the idea of "us" may be,
I still feel more filled with hope when dreaming of you
than when I try to crush this love.
