made coffee
For the first time in decades
This is a huge accomplishment
Usually my wife does it but she's away
Coffee is a religion in this house
But since I ignore my given religion
This is a huge step forward
Next stop, cleaning the toilet rim
Gross huh ?
WTF

My City is my Flesh
I'm a city guy
I don't leave town much
A few days here and there
Just to reclaim the fresh air vibe
But truth be told
I need the city interior to feel safe
All the noise and grit and craziness
Defines me
My city is my flesh
Traveling from appointment to appointment
Cell phones, pen and paper
Road salesman coming to you next
I don't leave town much
A few days here and there
Just to reclaim the fresh air vibe
But truth be told
I need the city interior to feel safe
All the noise and grit and craziness
Defines me
My city is my flesh
Traveling from appointment to appointment
Cell phones, pen and paper
Road salesman coming to you next

Watching you Sleep
Watching you sleep
Next to me
A wry smile on your lips
Morning light
Illuminates your beauty
You lie in slumber
A new day ahead
I've watched you for years
Same pattern, same glow
Soon you will rise
Collect yourself and stretch
I'll be watching
As I do each day
My joy in loving you
Next to me
A wry smile on your lips
Morning light
Illuminates your beauty
You lie in slumber
A new day ahead
I've watched you for years
Same pattern, same glow
Soon you will rise
Collect yourself and stretch
I'll be watching
As I do each day
My joy in loving you

You give me
Your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you

Married Tenderness
It's not quite sex
But it is passion
I call it "arming"
It's tender and sweet
Aligning myself next to her
Gently rubbing her arm as she sleeps
It's light and feathery
A message of love not lust
She smiles slightly
Knows I'm there
As soon as I see her expression
I fall back into slumber without a care
But it is passion
I call it "arming"
It's tender and sweet
Aligning myself next to her
Gently rubbing her arm as she sleeps
It's light and feathery
A message of love not lust
She smiles slightly
Knows I'm there
As soon as I see her expression
I fall back into slumber without a care

The Breath of our Romance
I ask you to smile
But not to much
We operate on the perimeter
Somewhere between illegal and sublime
Standing on the cold banks
Of a river with no name
Pressed into me, your hands in my pocket
Your heart beat apparent against
The weight of your breasts
We shape the moments
Knowing they are brief
Lovers on the outside of cool sexuality
A duality of common cause and desire
Reckless, sometimes dangerous
A calling, an addiction, a love
With no home ...

Lovers on the outside of cool sexuality
A duality of common cause and desire
Reckless, sometimes dangerous
A calling, an addiction, a love
