first I smell myself.

the deep bass tonality of my musk,
hot, creamy, sweetness unique, of coffee and creamy,
my owned sweat oiled secretions massaged into her skin
emplaced by vigorous parts rubbing and tongue caressing,
under the fading shadows of my glancing, desirous admirings


then I smell herself.

sinking sunset glimpses of last nights parfume parfait,
scattered in random strategic locations architecturally planned,
some flavors come over me like modest waves,
others spelunking found in crevices, cracks and caves,
where humans tread in guileless search of guiltless pleasure

then I smell our sharings.

lemon and thyme, paprika, sea salt and pepper,
a basted rub laid upon animal skin consuming, and consumed,
the vinaigrette balsamic and California yellow raisins, pine nuts,
decorating leaves of red soil spinach and spicy arugula,
word salads, so miraculously ingenious, you swear off eating flesh

then I smell our combinations.

the air conditioned atmosphere that blends us properly chilled,
the olive oils pressed from two colored differing skins,
the mortal and pestle finely grinding our own fresh crumbled dirt,
appearing in places where dirt is wet panko crumbs encrusting us,
our combined liquidity, shaken and stirred, drying in martini tandem

it is 8:17am and this recipe of reciprocity,
at its most pungent peaking,
for soon raining waterfalls of potable city water
and the sophistry of French soap,
the pseudoscience of modern chemical shampoo,
together erasing, scrubbing away this poems aromatherapy tapestry,
your perplexed complexing nostrils will mock you once more,
for ever disbelieving, thinking you could no longer write of
only love poetry that crested high above the trite

No one is perfect
Not even moon and stars
With all my heart and soul
Baby I'm in love with your scars

I know you've some fears
But I've them too
Even with our differences
I'll always love you

I don't have
Anything of my own
But I know for sure
you feel like home

So stay by side
And let me have you all
I love you more
Every spring and every fall

Some sharings are beautiful
Just like our scars
No one is perfect dear
Not even moon and stars...

For Al*

your limbs,
a finger, a toe,
an arm, a leg,
cannot be amputated,
without your presence...


when the men
drive in the car together,
the women, best friends,
absent,
temporarily away,
their men,
time release the
the secret shavings
of truthful conversations,
the unconstrained sharings,
spoke, untold,
free from the raised eyebrow,
the serious shushing
of censoring partners,
Lionesses-in-Absentia

who else
where else can you tell
the complaints unspoken,
the peculiarities, the ironies,
that make you smile/wince
laughingly grimace

and now the men are
friends

so when he asks,
come to the movies with us,
tho you are neat beat,
dead on the feet,
you now know,
too late, too late,
always and evermore
say sure,
cause,
now that he is gone
in a single swoop felling,
his oak trembling,
fallen
oh my friend,
now on his side,
lifeless

you say sure,
always
sure,
cause you have to be there,
just in case,
it is time they declare
to severe sever
one of your very own
limbs

What is a life but a second with you
in a room with no furniture but our
bed. We shed our clothes as though
they are our past and I lift you gently
onto white linen sheets. I shudder
with excitement as I slide beside
you, your golden hair a trail from
your naked hips to your turgid *******,
pink as cherry blossoms, ***** as
Spring’s harbinger, white crocuses
sprouting by a winter’s stream. I
dream of you even as I’m with you,
stroking your gracious, lissome arm.
I give your neck a kiss. I wish not
to miss any part of you. I am on
a journey of love and your body
beautiful is my destination. Though
I have traveled this path before,
every movement of the palm of
my hand feels anew. I caress
your tender ******* that elicits
moans like voices of heaven’s
angels that give wing through
our gift-giving of ****** sharings.
Now it is time to touch your soul,
the epicenter of your being. I am
seeing again the provenance of
your goodness and greatness
that complement your pulchritude.
I am blessed by your spirit. We
are untrammeled when the two
of us make unending love.

Dear careless whisperer,
Some sharings are dagger-edged
and there is no escape when they’re turned on you
no countermagic for the soul crushing embarrassment
dropped as if from a great height.
Did you hear the gun-shot thunderclap of confidence
leaving the room?
I am a careless whisperer
An evil sees an evil in you
How much genuine may be you
An evil looks for an impugn in you
If you react ,it will deflect you
and take away your peace of mind
That is why don't go behind
First of all you manage cool down
Then slowly cut your sharings down
Never give chances to an evil
to look into your personal matter
That is the only way of living better
Never try to excercise "*** for tat"
Because you can't imagine
the moves of a cunning cat.

WOMAN

I would have made Woman if God
had not. Of course, we need
to complete the pair to procreate,
but there is much, much more.
Ineffable qualities when mingled
and mixed create a mystical whole
greater than the sum of its parts.
Their subtle differences evoke
and complement each other.
When melded, they forge a new
form made of love of heart and
body, of spirit and soul. When
holding hands, two become one.
When Man hugs Woman, they
become huge;  passion becomes
their hunger;  they feast on one
another, but not to devour;  rather,
to make myriad ways of touching
and pullulating that flower loves
coruscating the heavens, creating
more and more galaxies filled
with countless other lovers, a
shower of sharings, a cosmic
apogee that never misses
even a single kiss.
