like love on saturdays,
i hope for a few days more
and i get hours, at best.
so, i learn to cherish!
bodies tired and fulfilled,
we love and leave.

dreams spin as heartbeats pulse
legs mingle and mouths pucker
i’d live in this forever
i’d live in you forever
i hunger, i strive, i succeed and fall
i am but myself and i can love hard

sitting patiently in a forest of heart and desire,
a rhythm swirls in my eyes
fluxing

with pop, we will rule the world
smiles will flood the streets
swimmingly

swollen cheeks and battered lips
kissing through calm days
c’était la vie et ce sera toujours

i’ll always kiss into the evening with a wide, wily grin
forever burning through hours of dull, stale surroundings
i will live forever in the motions in the night
i will live blissfully

like a wild rice
a grain gone mad
he was left when all his brethen were all right

in the mist
a golden beam shone
she was alone in darkness, surrounded

to fall right out of a circle is to fall out of being a square
a word is a heavy blanket and learning to burn that blanket is comfort destruction

while you were out picking tangerines
i was making my burning man suit

the female form haunts me, always
running for the hills, toward new ****** conquests and away from the love that i only wished i had
i breathe and sigh until i find the one that i could breed with, although i won’t ever breed
until then, i’ll swim through *****
i will fall in love for nights at a time, cuddling, *******, pillow-talking, waking and leaving
i’ll then roam the streets, wandering into bars, flirting, glaring at women, the way i glare at a fine meal
i’ll eat them and be done with them in one sitting, i’ll enjoy it, i’ll love the way they taste, but once the meal is done, there is no ‘re-eating’
and, then i’ll think about why i’m doing this all, aside from the fact that i crave it, but the underlying reason,
the fact that i strive for the pale, white spotlight to shine down on me and point me out to the woman of my dreams
and she’ll find me, easily, and we’ll strip down and running as fast as we can, we’ll forever hold hands, until the end of days.

spinning white lights on the cusp of the new millennium, daring kids spilled their guts.
breathing deeply, we’d all fall and swell with oxygen, drunk with life, in time.

words have flown to me, as spirits in a sweet wind, they’ve come.
love in all shapes form around me, within me, lately.
love as a glorious, gleaming smile, always and forever.
love as a final conquest.
love as a first, real, true love.
love as a new perspective on life, as a realization.
love as a tool to grow with.
love as a recollection of past loves.
love as fun.
love as friends, beautiful and glorious, shining always under night skies and blossoming in summer suns.
i live love, thoroughly, completely, endlessly.

looking for my out, i’ve been here before.
with music in my head and frustration on my hands, i divide my life.
i divide into what is and what should be, what will and will not, who will be ravaging my body and who will not.
where the days go is a place in my seemingly small heart, where they boil and bloom into smiles galore.
nostalgia is something that has waned.
it holds no place in me.

faces and bodies, come and go.

dear love,

i’ve never hated you.  i’ve only wished i’ve had you.  i miss you and i can’t wait to see you again.  i catch little glimpses of you from time to time, usually in some bed somewhere.   those glimpses don’t last more than a few hours in a weary night, these days.  i guess, i was just writing to let you know that i still care very much about you and i would really like to fully get to know you and live with you when the time is right.  i know you know quite a bit more about me, than i do you, but i want that to change.  you watch me, always, but i can’t seem to find you.  you’re an elusive beast, running freely.  i need to be learn to be just that, as well.  love, i will see you soon and hopefully, you’ll stick around, this time.

yours always,

zuw
