If swords, in fun, Go on the run, We’ll no doubt find There’s only one. And rip, it must, In adult lust, The tender youth, With poisoned rust. And youth returns: The friction burns - The bag of bones - No age concerns. And both alone - The sock of bone, The sated man - The broken home. If swords, in fun, Go on the run, We’ll no doubt find There’s only one.

You treat me like Aphrodite Venusian goddess rising Pearled milky foam Like clotted cream speckling my dark skin We tumble 'cross the bedsheets Hair pooling around me Tasting each other Briny saltwater and Earth Mingling sweat and it-has-been-far-too-long kisses And I shall never claim another lover As I have claimed you And I shall never mount another man With as much reckless, unbridled Abandoning as I have you You treat me like Aphrodite Shield me from rain With your oversized coat Smelling of clean leather and lingering petrichor You drink from me as if You were Bacchus Drunk off my honeyed lips Like it was fragrant wine Drink, my love Drink and be merry Lay your head on my lap Let me run my fingers through your Sunflower-streaked curls Let me kiss love and loyalty Into your mouth Let it be a contract Love me like Aphrodite

Aphrodisiac
The palm tree and the star,               ...are always found together. The branch and seed of man,              ...bound by some secret tether. All initiates in the mysteries,              ...elicit a truth they find. The palm tree and the star,              ...are not just another sign.

Bacchus
My army snakes the mountain-tops as fields and valleys rent, The first to ever wear the crown; laws of nature -bent. Mother was my wife as well; she as me, a god. Appearing again 'in-the-end'... Apocalypse; I am the king ****** *
