Nothing to see here folks, no bells or whistles, I'm just your average Joe. Ignore the award on my profile. I got it for having a pulse.

Animals
I don’t know about you
but I like animals
so I hope your not a china doll
or
some plastic sound byte Barbie
I hope you like noise
And I hope you have claws
like that!
Hell yeah!
just like that!

Sapiosexual
I turned and saw you there
as you moved into the circle of conversation
and was struck by the way you listened
every nuance
every phrase
each detail seemingly connecting
without ever saying a thing
then you asked a question or two
not flighty yes or no fluff just to get looks your way
but with gravitas
and that began our dance of words
fencing between minds
and then you looked at me like that
like I’d just said something interesting
like I’m a thinker
and you get me
and I know your a thinker too
there’s a...

Timeless
some memories are like the wispy fog that lies over green fields in the morning
only the field is our heart upon which the memory lies
distant perhaps
but not forgotten
people and places ever captured in time
ageless
as our hearts once wished them so
changeless
as we need them to be
forever people
forever loves
quietly reoccurring
at times
in a fragrant sip of wine and wistfulness
only the field is our heart upon which the memory lies

but not forgotten
people and places ever captured in time
ageless

Lost at Sea
they kiss like ardent young lovers – passionately
like we did
bodies tanned and glistening, and vibrant with life
lost at sea and found in each other
sharing kisses that taste of salt
and linger like forever
ah
the beauty of headlong youth
come my love
let’s show them how its done
like we did
bodies tanned and glistening, and vibrant with life
lost at sea and found in each other
sharing kisses that taste of salt
and linger like forever
ah
the beauty of headlong youth
come my love
let’s show them how its done

A Place to Dream
lets make a place like this
and lie back to soft music and read together
the Sunday comics
or good books
bathed in sunlight and the warmth of your nearness
or by candle light and moon light
poems and prose
write for me and I’ll write for you
words that will make a love story
the book of our lives together
intertwined
to read together
even when we’re alone
and lie back to soft music and read together
the Sunday comics
or good books
bathed in sunlight and the warmth of your nearness
or by candle light and moon light
poems and prose
write for me and I’ll write for you
words that will make a love story
the book of our lives together
intertwined
to read together
even when we’re alone

risque
I would love a woman to pull off a look like that for me
and perhaps more
the woman who would want me to tell her the look I desired
in every exquisite detail
and see the erotic image awaken in her eyes
and then unfold before mine
her giving herself
totally for me
my pleasure
to see in my eyes
the lust she has stirred
and I wonder
how far would she go
to see how far I would go
and perhaps more
the woman who would want me to tell her the look I desired
in every exquisite detail
and see the erotic image awaken in her eyes
and then unfold before mine
her giving herself
totally for me
my pleasure
to see in my eyes
the lust she has stirred
and I wonder
how far would she go
to see how far I would go

You
have I ever told you about those moments when you're stunning
I just look at you
and you capture me
even when you're doing nothing at all
I don't know if its grace or enchantment
that transcends the ordinary
of day to day
or if those are the right words to use at all
there's just an aura to your presence
a mystery
a deepening
all these things I so desperately want to know
a connection for a moment
and then its gone
but it tells me
we have forever
I just look at you
and you capture me
even when you're doing nothing at all
I don't know if its grace or enchantment
that transcends the ordinary

or if those are the right words to use at all

Tell Me Your Dreams
tell me your dreams
love
the idle wanders of your mind which seem to take you so far
into a distance known only by you
but desired by me
a sharing
of that most intimate thing
the seeking of a lifetime
for it seems I’ve always wanted to know
you

Sunrise
you rise with the dawn
my love
the wisps of your hair catch the sun
honey golden
as the softest glow fills the room
and I wait for the last vestiges of the deep black of night which clothes you
to fall away
scattered like pools of shadow about the room
and soon forgotten
in the beauty the light reveals
its said
'tis perilous to go to near the heat of of the sun
but I have gazed too long
and am blind to all else
save you
come and arch over me
my love
so I can feel your heat rising
in the first blush...

Sometimes II
Sometimes
When we’re getting ready to go some place
I suffer from a change of direction
Its a fault of yours…
I lose my place
Lose track of time
You have a way of making me lose my mind
When we’re getting ready to go some place
I suffer from a change of direction
Its a fault of yours…
I lose my place
Lose track of time
You have a way of making me lose my mind

Eating In
People often talk about how hard it is to say good night
But you take my breath away with hello
The way you look for me
...at me
As your body melts into my arms
With a kiss that takes my breath
And another
If possible
Longer than the first
As the world walks by
I could take you here and now
You have me so aroused
And yet
We've barely said hello
We're not much for conversation it seems
But you speak to my heart as no other woman ever has
...and I'm thinking we'll eat in tonight
But you take my breath away with hello
The way you look for me
...at me
As your body melts into my arms
With a kiss that takes my breath
And another
If possible
Longer than the first
As the world walks by
I could take you here and now
You have me so aroused
And yet
We've barely said hello
We're not much for conversation it seems
But you speak to my heart as no other woman ever has
...and I'm thinking we'll eat in tonight

The Night Is Young
How easily you distract me from whatever conversation I imagined we had
I lose my place in the soft turns of your legs
they speak like sign language for the soul
And I'm mesmerized by their incessant whisper of yes
As they beg me to touch
And I'm drawn in helplessly
- and longingly
I can almost feel your smile
As I become aware you're watching me
Without a word
But who needs words as the smooth of your skin yields
And taunts me
Relentlessly
Your legs turning towards me
And my touch
My desires
As...
I lose my place in the soft turns of your legs
they speak like sign language for the soul
And I'm mesmerized by their incessant whisper of yes
As they beg me to touch
And I'm drawn in helplessly
- and longingly
I can almost feel your smile
As I become aware you're watching me
Without a word
But who needs words as the smooth of your skin yields

Relentlessly
Your legs turning towards me
And my touch
My desires
