My Depression
It's difficult to predict
Harder than the weather I suppose
An apt analogy though
Forcing a change of clothes
A subtle fog rolls in
Barely perceivable mist
Blanketing the landscape
Easily missed
That's the annoying part
Before you know it, the fog is dense
But you're still wearing shorts
A sunny day becomes one of defense
Now you scramble to decide
The proper attire for the change
Black seems so appropriate
But you avoid appearing strange
It's okay to feel it...

Sweat
On a sticky August afternoon
Wishing the humidity would end soon
Restlessness lay naked
On top of the covers of a bed
It laid side by side
With nothing to hide
Moist palms caressed
A chest, and a breast
Legs slithered together
Fingertips feathered
The curls of each
Sex within reach
Sweaty cheeks met
Necks, and arms wet
With desire, and lust
Hair became mussed
Strokes lightly returned
Intensity yearned
Pleasure confirmed
Pretenses burned
Beginning position ...

Pool Table
That first Christmas, just over a month after our father died
My mom bought us a pool table
With seven children under twelve
I guess she thought it would help when we cried
Some of us took to it right away
A long winter shortened by the games we played
We moved again, and the felt came along
Shared a room with my brother, where that table belonged
My youngest sister would beg to shoot pool with her
She was the pest, my brothers concur
Youngest to oldest developed some flair
As we improved our skill, and learned to share ...

We All Live Under That Sky
The sky makes her feel big
She references a couple of stories,
Snuggled under for the night.
Kids scooting between cars in the parking lot, and
Campers who had a trailer stolen from their site
She thinks bad people should look up, and
See the wonderment.
If they just looked up,
They'd realize
"We all live under that sky"

Smaller Still
When you close your eyes here,
It's easy to imagine
Relentless waves washing the shore,
But it's really the wind
Rustling the evergreens
We drove north today;
Arrived just after midnight.
Their chocolate lab,
Old Diamond, greeted our sight
Pulled up to an '83 Glendette trailer,
1/8 of a mile behind the house,
5 hours north
Where blueberries grow
Fresh air gives the lungs a break,
And the stars here make me...

Spice
She starts my day laying next to me
How can I possibly grumble
Because I know how much she cares for me
I'm not afraid to stumble
Morning coffee is sweet without sugar
Greeting the sun, or a cloud
Knowing she's willing to accept my quirks
Empowers me to be proud
When my brow gets dirty, and covered in sweat
Commitment gives me strength
Driving home with anticipation
To discuss our day at length
Passion, or rest, our bed is made
Just a pinch wouldn't register
The warmth - the love - the wonderment
Of the spice in my...

Thunderous 3
An eerie silence
Following the thund'rous crash
Of broken pieces

Of broken pieces

Ummm
The frog....
Her heavenly curves...
In an eerie fog...
Complex trigeminal nerves...
(heavy sigh)
Darn, where was I?

Words With Powers Too
The wretched one wasn't sated
Suffering fed him best
I coughed up blood, and bile
Frantic, he pumped my chest
The generous One was stunned
Broke the lone embrace
His gentle hand reached down
Wiping spittle from my face
I slowly regained my speech
Lying prone, misunderstood
"You proffered me his book,
Said, this man is not good!"
They stood in stubborn stances
Took measure of their foe
"You granted him new life,
I was willing to let him go!"
Understanding donned

Absence
Her absence makes my selfish heart ache
For it could not grow fonder
For it could not grow fonder
