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.'
The Infinite Splendor of All Things
.. just thought I’d mention ...
... that I’ve ev’ry intention ...
to love on You ‘til the not-so-bitter end.
You are My Friend;
You are My Lover,
and I’d die for You
like No Other.
May We never wuther
or fade!
May We only know jade,
and the infinite splendor of all things—
material, and of The Ether!
... that I’ve ev’ry intention ...
to love on You ‘til the not-so-bitter end.
You are My Friend;
You are My Lover,
and I’d die for You
like No Other.
May We never wuther
or fade!
May We only know jade,
and the infinite splendor of all things—
material, and of The Ether!

Seer
Sooth’ed, so calm;
Your hair, My balm.]
Curled ‘thin My arms again—You—after brief reprieve;
beneath Your spell again, I exalt, I breathe!
Like a Gemini sign, our forms prove svelte:
We writhe; We nuzzle; We kiss and melt ...
... into one another, We merge precariously,
succumbing to desire so voraciously!
My fingers stir Your curiousity through their faintest touch,
and, soon, ‘tween Your hungry lips, My cock You clutch.
In loving frenzy—after thrust and pulse—I explode;
throughout Your mouth so precious,...

I Wilt Like a Flower
I wilt like a flower
when You turn to leave.
Dessicated
and lifeless,
My breath,
You do thieve!
Your departure,
like a drug’s withdrawal,
that I must bear—
resist!
There’s not, I think,
a more bitter thing,
than Lady Death
to have kissed!
Only Your return
shall suck this sadness dry!
Only with Our reunion
shall tremulous sigh arrive!
I’ve no reason to swallow—
to feed this withered bod.
So return to Me soon
and fill Me.
I’ve starved, now,
for moments too long— ...
when You turn to leave.

The Abyss
.. standing on this precipice
with nothing much to say.
Do I step forward into an abyss,
or turn the other way?
Will Your hand be there
if I decide to turn
and face You in this life?
Will You regret Me gone
if I accept Your spurn—
a cessation of all Our strife?
I ponder hard with Heart, with Soul;
I search through All of My Being:
Have Our cherished affections taken their toll?
Is there value left in fleeing?
(I, for one, do choose to stay,
that, in Your Love, I may dwell;
for there’s nothing...

When The Sun Speaks
Today, when We woke,
The Sun kissed Our faces.
It said to Us—It spoke!—
that We should count Our graces:
“You have, You own, One Another.
You desire, You need, none other.
So bury Yourselves in those sat’ny sheets;
bask warm and relaxed within Mine rays,
and wait upon The Souther ...
... for It will soothe You—
move You—
like that grand love in which You smother!”

Liquid Gold
Ev’ry inch of Your skin—
liquid gold.
And I, a rich, rich Man.

Anatomy [II]
I’m not One for Blondes, truth be said,
but there be golden filaments upon Her head—
a thousand wands of magic hue!
I love a Blonde! It be true!
Never was much for pale blue eyes,
but Her irises contain the Earth and skies!
The whites of clouds surround them, too!
The fluids within them—intoxicating brew!
Can’t say I’ve ever loved a Girl like This—
One who ‘stirs a rise’ with ev’ry kiss;
One whose flow’ry scent arrives dehisced;
One who ensures Me eternal bliss!

'tween You and Me
Between You and Me:
I know I am intense;
I mean not to put a fence
‘tween You
and Me.
I know I am erratic
whenever love is static
‘tween You
and Me.
You’re aware I must exude
those feelings raw and crude
‘tween You
and Me.
Our love, it knows no reason—
no politics, nor treason—
‘tween You
and Me.
Aren’t I right to challenge hearts
that blended at the start
‘tween You
and Me?
I am, I do believe!
A truth, I do perceive
‘tween You
and Me … ...

More in Love with Forever
I am more in love with ‘forever,’
‘cos I am more in love with You:
‘fore You, days ahead were calm, so placid;
now, I know, I’ll never go flacid—
there’s too much to love ‘bout You.
… am more in love with forever,
‘cos I’m more in love with You:
days and nights are charged,
My potential so enlarged
with You at My back.
… in love with forever
‘cos I love You.
Protect Me!
Inject Me!
(And I …
You!)

My Li'l Violent Femme!
Her lips are enshrined
so deep in My mind.
I can’t shake them.
With kisses, they swoon Me,
yet when She is gloomy,
they persuade or condemn.
They chuckle and chide
and make Me tongue-tied—
a Boy, yet again.
They pierce My wounds,
they sear and dragoon—
Her diadem!
How can She argue
sharp phrases aperçu,
and still be My gem?
She is! She is!
My heart melts in a fizz!
My li’l violent femme!
so deep in My mind.
I can’t shake them.

Your Jade-Beaded Necklace
Your jade-beaded necklace …
drooped upon the doorknob, here, at Our home …
how I wish it be draped ‘round Your neck
as Mine eyes and lips devour Your chest below!
Your jade-beaded necklace …
preying ‘pon My mind, here, at Our home …
Desiring You before Me—
nape and neck framed by its elegant edge!
Your jade-beaded necklace …
teases Me incessantly, here, at Our home …
I’m flushed, and do fancy—so eager to see
Your eyes gleaming vivid through its enrapturing hue!
Come home and wear Your jade-beaded necklace
