POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I compose music and weave words -- primarily about sex, desire, and rejection. I am a hedonist with a big heart. I swim in emotion, and welcome 'feeling.'
Three Wary Spectres and the ‘Unknown Thang’
Three Wary Spectres and the ‘Unknown Thang’”
I’ve arrived
in Your lives
like a fistfull of knives
while running.
For, out of the blue—
like some ghastly ‘Boo!’—
I’ve appeared.
Now, I am here—
Chance cast a sudden weir—
‘midst the flows
of Our Lives.
Loving Your Mother
has been such sweet nectar,
yet We Three pass
like Three Wary Spectres—
in ... then out ...
in ... and out ...
of each Other’s Lives.
I long to assure You,
with words so exigent;
I wish to...

Adoration's Decrowning
I stepped off the precipace brusquely,
staunch witness to Your harsh ‘goodbye.’
A whisk of Your hand had beckoned Me, thusly.
‘Tis the last thing I’d see before I die.
And as I had fallen, I did remember
those nights a-fire, those eves-a-gleaming—
those delicious waves of untold pleasures
that We had shared so fleeting ...
... those days spent prior to Your dire, li’l pities
toward a Man You had never treasured;
a Man whose guilt ‘twas mired with eternal fret—
a Man whose worth was ne’er measured.

Now
NOW ’
… got a Gal that drives Me crazy
in ev’ry sense of the word.
Truly, She be fascinating;
truly, She quite a ‘Bird.’
She tease, She tempt,
then leaves no trace
of those things We’d grown accustomed to …
those things One can’t replace …
… with My hand,
nor with another,
I want My Gal—
desire no other.
So, what is One to do
when sex is off the table?!
I am willing,
and I am able.
I crave Her skin,
as soft as sable!
Guess I’ll stomp,
guess I’ll pout,
‘round...

Wake Up [!!!], My Tender Lass!
Wake up soon,
My Tender Lass.
Lean toward Our headboard
and lend Me Your Ass.
I wish to take it
for a salacious ride ...
... tow’ the realms of ravage!
I wish You by My Side.

Ce Chat [This Cat]
This cat is not dead,
He is simply resting at my feet.
‘Lest He be My Brood,
He would suckle at my teat.
Ce chat n'est pas mort.
Il se repose simplement à mes pieds.
De peur qu'il ne soit ma couvée,
il téterait à mon trayon.

To a Beauty Unnamed
The final vestiges of nighttime’s shadows
like sinews, slip from My Lover’s face,
to reveal a visage of angelic perfection —
a Beauty so full of grace.
Less there are of maturity’s travels there —
for no travails have left a trace;
so much more there is of Youth and vigor there
in rosy circles of whispered lace.
Know that I am watching You —
if not envisioning from afar —
how the light of dawn does fall on You,
how evening’s ne’er left a scar.
~
(U R, simply, BEAUTIFUL!)

Miles Apart [Halloween 2016]
Sleepless …
I wish You were.
... 'Alone' …
I wish I was ... :
'Alone with You …
on the phone ...
in the shower …
deeply nestled in Our Lovers’ Bed.'
Alas, We are miles apart,
and I write to You from afar,
wishing for but a moment’s quick
to speak with You again.
I wish You were.

To Fall or Be Forgotten
would it be so bad
if You took Me home?
would it be so bad
if we sat and watched the rain?
and would it be evil
if I held Your hand,
and touched Your hair,
and kissed You?
how would it feel
to You?
(...oh,no ...)
You tease and tempt,
but leave no trace
speak now, or forever hold Your peace
we’ve the chance to fall or be forgotten
speak now, or forever hold Your peace
we’ve the chance to fall
or be forgotten
should I have cried
to make You love Me?
or should I have...

The Siren Sonnet [I]
Amidst the soaking rain and bitter cold,
the Moon and sister stars in glory shine
on once superbly flaxen hair now gold
his fingers raked with ease ere now entwine.
Smoke billows; lips and legs do quiver still.
Recounting pleasures past but moments since,
unfolding words like operatic trills
do speak of love and honestly convince.
With chills upon, they opt for haven—bed,
to where commenced their paramouric spark,
to where their tryst became engraven’ed,
to where abandoned lay his broken barque.
None...

"3-5-3 [S]" [A]
Silken, so sacred,
this sensation: Her skin slipping
across these lips.

With tender intensity,
the tips of Her nipples
twirl with tongue.

Amuse-Bouche
Like a small blessing
or an amuse-bouche,
the lithe hair flowing
just above Your brow
collects soft kisses from
My lips each morning.
I, grateful for the taste,
do follow the curve of
Your feathery hairline,
and alight My tongue
upon Your tender lobe,
where I nibble and flick.
From here, I descend,
across silken cheeks,
to Your naked neck,
and gently suckle its skin
with My famished maw.
Bountiful, Your Body;
My appetite, it does whet.
