POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have always enjoyed poetry, but haven't written any since my college days. Since my divorce and my son leaving home, I have more time and have been writing some haiku and tanka for a couple of years. Now, I have a renewed interest in other forms.

The Perfect Man is Hard to Find: An Unabashed Self-Promoting Sonnet
It's always hard to find the perfect man
There is a wide and varied selection.
One might go date as many as one can.
The best is often beyond detection.
There is usually some major defect
That goes unnoticed until rather late.
And time was wasted on a big reject,
So a woman must reevaluate.
However, right here, in front of your face,
Is the man whom you have been waiting for!
Who meets the criteria in your case.
The man who loves you to your inner core.
I'm not perfect, but I'm perfect for you.
No need to...

Little Things
You cut the small hairs
On top of my head,
That I could not see,
While straddling my thighs.
You baked me cookies
With a pinch of love.
Taught me your secrets,
And helped me bake pies.
You gave me some books
With hand-written notes
In three languages!
Gifts I'll always keep.
You hug me and kiss
My lips and fingers.
You touch my body
And keep me from sleep.
You talk straight with me
Explaining, sharing,
And confessing all.
Then, listening too.
You said that you love...
On top of my head,
That I could not see,
While straddling my thighs.
You baked me cookies
With a pinch of love.
Taught me your secrets,
And helped me bake pies.
You gave me some books
With hand-written notes
In three languages!
Gifts I'll always keep.
You hug me and kiss
My lips and fingers.
You touch my body
And keep me from sleep.
You talk straight with me
Explaining, sharing,
And confessing all.
Then, listening too.
You said that you love...

I Want to Take Your Picture
I want to take your picture
While you're naked on my bed.
To snap a lot of photos
With arms and legs out spread
Black and white is artsy
But color looks more real
I'd like to try a bunch of them
And see just how they feel
We could make a video
And keep it to ourselves
I wouldn't want to share it
I'd hide it on my shelves
I love to see your body
Even when you're not with me
Let me take some pictures
So later I can see

Sexploration
Sexploration
We built a mountain
In the bedroom and climbed it
We dug a canal
Across my bed and plunged in
I explored your soft
Canyon and both your twin peaks
You gave me pleasure
We slept, exhausted

Women are Bones
Women are bones
Covered with flesh and fat.
With veins, and arteries,
And nerves, inter-connected
With the heart, and brain.
The bones define the shape
And the flesh and the fat
Fill it out in lovely ways,
But those aren't much use
Without a heart and a brain.
What do I love most?
The body, heart, or brain?
The body is enticing
To observe, and truly
Separates her from men.
Her body might catch
My attention at first
But her brain will hold
My interest much longer. ...

Venn Diagram
Intersecting circles
overlapping and intertwined
both sharing certain characteristics
and common qualities
both are whole however
each is distinct in itself
contains data not shared
but unique alone
one is not inside another
neither subsumed nor dependent
not a subset of a bigger circle
nor a part or piece of something greater
they can be separated
pulled apart, divided
without losing integrity,
shape or completeness
when you are away
my blue is still blue
and your red red ...

Endless Flame
The fire inside
Flares up at times,
Scorching my heart,
Searing my soul.
At this moment,
I feel the heat
Spread from my chest
into my groin.
I want you now.
The fire burns hot,
Only your touch
Now can quench it.
Only your kiss
Can sate my thirst.
Time and distance
Keep us apart
And I must wait.
The fire will, must,
Subside slowly,
Until it remains
An ember that waits
Only for you
to rekindle
Its endless flame.

One Kiss
One Kiss
Sept. 2017
First you smile,
Then the corners of your mouth
Turn down almost like a frown.
Your lips part slightly
As my lips approach yours.
Just before our lips touch
Your eyes turn upward to mine.
Then back down to my lips.
Our lips approach, make contact.
I feel their smooth softness.
We press closer,
Relaxing and flattening our lips,
Widening our mouths,
To increase the surface area
For greater sensation.
Then the tongue…
You use it to...
