The Scent of You
I catch the scent of you
on my fingertips...
and gently smile.
302 · Jan 2017
Light Never Runs
Light never runs from the shadows...
its more a graceful retreat.
But shadows scurry away like cockroaches
when any old light switch is flipped.

Good Weed
In the low evening light
I reach for a bud
laying on my desk...
it flew away.

Love to the End
Love to the end.
Love to the
end.
Love...
to the end.
Love to
the end.
Love...
I will always love you and wish you all the best.

Winter's Night
Chasing fairies up the wall...
the cat
on Christmas night.

Like you Don't Know...
Love like a ******,
its always the very first time.
Throw your soul into it
like you don't know...
like flowers in the snow.

Make her Cry
She was a universe all her own...
self contained, alone.
She needed no man (or woman)
to make her whole...
Then why does he make her cry?

The Moon is the Only Lover
In deep unsettled dreams
past midnight,
a fear gnaws
at the edges of my heart...
The moon is the only lover
who's never turned away.

Isn't She?
She was a delightful mix
of sweetness and insanity.
I'm not saying she was crazy,
rather
her acquaintance with reality
was a passing one.
She lived in her own little world
and if she liked you
she'd invite you in.
Her heart was pure,
her body less so.
She embraces the world...
and would you too
should she take
the fancy.

Goddess
She has a body
I could worship,
an *** I'd sacrifice to.
261 · Feb 2017
Wordless
There are times
words are called for
that do not exist...
to express emotions
too profound to speak.
261 · Oct 2015
Work in Progress
Some people
are simply devoid of dreams,
and so hate the dreamer.

Vaguely Remembered
I have never been tempted
down the primrose path of reality.
In the back of an old wardrobe
is a lamp post in the woods...
along an ancient path
vaguely remembered.

Much to its annoyance,
darkness too
travels at the speed of light.

Orcas
The great planes roll past,
airport windows.
Their tall fantails
like the dorsal fins of giant orcas.

Go Dig
Go deep.
Dig deeper.
Deeper still.

The Instant
That moment,
when the light in her eyes
becomes a fire.

A Heavy Load
We hang so much
on the desire for love.
Its too heavy a load
for any emotion
to carry.

Wearing Your Face Grinning
Past the midnight watch...
in the inner reaches of my heart,
a door opens
and in wearing your face grinning,
grief comes calling.
233 · Mar 2018
You Said No Thank You
I showed you my heart,
its recesses, its dark chambers
and distant sunny shoals...
I showed you my heart,
you said no thank you.
226 · Jan 2018
Handprints
She said she had the hand print
of every man
who'd ever loved her
tattooed on her body.
She was covered in hands...
I added mine.

A house
without a mouse
is not a home.

Right There
You know the spot.
Where the flesh
curves downward, up
and in...
Yeah, right there.

Some Nights
The cat slips by
a floorboard squeaks...
time moves at a glacial pace.
The pillow's hot with sweat,
midnight fears
and 2 am resentments.
Thoughts don't dance,
they stomp through my head
like some rowdy upstairs neighbor.
Dawn trickles through the window
weaving its ways between the curtains...
Now the eyelids get heavy.
Insomnia.
216 · Jul 2019
We Nod
I have but a passing acquaintance
with normalcy.
Its a nod when we see each other on the streets
kind of thing.
214 · Aug 2017
Forward
I would have loved you
until the end of days...
now there's a whole world missing
without you.
Forward eludes me.
207 · Feb 2018
Ethereal
Life is ethereal.
Love with abandon
or not at all.
Give without hesitation,
hold nothing back.
Accept the joy and the pain,
as the price of admission.
And through the tears...
Thank you.
204 · Oct 2017
You
You
Slow kisses
on the nape of your neck.
Now down your spine,
across the hollow of your back.
Sliding now between your cheeks
pausing only for the dark hole...
continuing on.
Parting your thighs...
AHHHH
the perfume
the taste...
you.
204 · Feb 2018
These Days
Every ******* thing I do
these days,
you're not there.

Imagine the World
If we imagine the world
then make it so...
We need a new imagining.

Mobius Strip
The infinitesimally small
becomes the infinitely big.
The Universe seamless,
like a Mobius strip.

How My Story Ends
I feel old sometimes.
My bones are falling apart,
and I am in chronic pain.
Some days even thinking about moving
is a struggle.
I'm so poor
If I ever reach poverty level
I'll be doing good.
Still life is precious.
I am not done yet.
I still want to see
how my story ends.

Later Myths
As we age,
and with distance...
Memories become dreams
and later myths.

Aren't We?
Is the Universe conscious?
Yes.
Why? How?
We are conscious aren't we?

I remember you
when you were me and I
looked out from your eyes.

Water and Air
Nothing, no lover...
Will ever hold you more intimately
than water or air.

But You Love Me
You're not right.
But you love me.
Yes, but you're not right.
But you love me...

Pink
For the briefest moment,
at dawn's first lighting...
The world was pink.

Here There be Dragons
My lust for you is chronic,
a deep ache I cannot resist.
No ******* can express
What its like between your thighs.
The look, the feel, the smell, the taste...
Words fail me.
Here there be dragons.

Life Herself
Heaven has been abandoned,
and hell is empty.
Only the universe and life herself
are worthy of our devotion.

The Most Beautiful Thing
The world *****
It's full of evil and violence…
The world is the most beautiful thing
We will ever experience.

Sunlight
Caught in a puddle of sunlight,
unable to move...
I sip my tea
and watch the moon.

A Devil's Wager
Be whatever you dream yourself to be,
but be honest about it...
It's a Devil's wager.
The price of dreams are the dreams themselves.

And No One May Enter
Somewhere deep
in the chambers of my heart
is a space with your name on it,
and no one may enter
except you and I.

Later Meeting
If there is a meeting later,
I want it to be
with you.

No Goddess This
Her thoughts were on eternity
as she took me softly, warmly
between her thighs.
No goddess this
but a woman in her hour.

No one has any clothes on,
We're all naked.
That tailor lied to everybody.

It's There
It's there.
Right underneath your feet.
Between the cells of your body
indeed between your atoms as well.
The Universe.

At Peace
My favorite memory,
us lying there
still coupled...
At peace.

Here Let Me Show You
Pique my Interest.
Tickle my fancy. Lead me astray...
And, if you don't know how to do that,
here let me show you.
