POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a work in progress with a long, long way to go. I love words and their meanings, insights, and courage they give. As a poet in progress, I am liberated by the next and next word, therefore I MUST write. There are a thousand roads I must travel.
THOUGHTS ON "MAKING LOVE"
Making love!" Two popular words
That are used and sound so clinical;
One may make a cake or a meal
Or make a hole in the ground.
"Making" tends to leave the
Idea of extended labor or effort;
Making anything usually
Denotes special skills and effort.
BUT
The behavior described
By many as "making love"
Transcends the concept
Of toil, great effort, and hard work.
However, being involved in sexual pleasuring,
Sharing mutual desires, passions, and fantasies,
Are NATURAL expression of the human
Spirit residing in every...

LONGER DAYS AND SHORTER NIGHTS
I use to need
eight hours of sleep,
and on the weekends
as much as nine or ten;
even sleeping 'til noon.
AMAZING!
How my sleep habits
have drastically changed as
I have become a friend of
NYX, the goddess of sleep;
needing only four or five
hours of sleep, and finding
it easy to nap as I did as a child.
I can doze in the middle
of a movie and even a
championship bowl game.
YES,
sleep is neither friend nor foe;
It's just a great moment.
Ready for a nap? I will wait!

I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED SUCKING
SURPRISE!
We didn't
realize how
late it
had become;
we were enjoying
the adventure;
BUT
it was time
to move back
to reality. So
we agreed to
one more adventure.
THEN
we had a surprise,
the car wouldn't
start...we were
out of gas...
so I started
siphoning gasoline
through a hose
which was in the
trunk for such occasions.
BUT
I didn't stop
sucking in time
and filled my
mouth with gasoline.
LESSON LEARNED:
You need to stop
sucking in time. ...

I WENT TOO FAST
It was an
exciting event,
one that came
as a surprise;
not really planned
but more on
the spur of the moment.
We met, chatted,
and shared interests;
soon we were
in agreement and
on our way;
two bike riders
agreeing to race
to the next village,
slowly enjoying
the scenery.
BUT
my competitive spirit
caused me to
go too fast leaving
my new friend behind.
I promise to go slower
next time. OKAY?

SUCKING PAST THE PAUSE
As I savored
the flavor. smoothness,
freshness and taste
that was flowing
easily in my mouth,
suddenly it stopped.
I sucked harder,
paused, wondered
what was wrong;
tried to inspect,
blew down the
small opening.
THEN,
oh then,
the flow in my
milkshake straw
opened and
I once again
sucked, drank, and
savored my
shake of choice.
Oh so good!
Have a drink.

PLEASE, LET ME PUT IT IN
I wasn't
quiet sure
what to
do with it.
It was big,
awkward and
yet flexible,
it was valuable,
one of a kind.
She said, "Please,
let me put it in."
I replied, "No thank you,
I'll give it a try.
SO
I gave it a try;
I slipped it
into the bracelet
clasp of a new
wristband I
had bought.
Even though it
was tight
it was beautiful
and felt good.

HOW SHOULD I MOUNT HER
As I gaze
at her beauty;
the beauty
of her outwardness,
long flowing mane ;
her strong back
and muscular legs;
the glow in her eyes.
How should I
place myself
on this beautiful lady?
Will she buck wildly
or be a slow-paced
and perfect ride.
She is a prize
young Philly, a
rare horse in these
low standard times.
Oh, as I straddle her
she responds......
at her beauty;
the beauty
of her outwardness,
long flowing mane ;
her strong back
and muscular legs;
the glow in her eyes.

SOFT, SWEET, AND DELICIOUS
I had tasted
the flavor,
softness, sweetness,
and sniffed
the aroma
of other prize
winners,
BUT
this beautiful,
puffy, sweet,
delicious, out-of-this-
world aroma I
was inhaling and tasting
was beyond words.
As I gently
opened it,
gazing on the
delicate texture,
slowly savoring it
gently on the tip
of my tongue;
it was intoxicating.
YES!
As a Judge
I cast my vote
for the prize
winning dinner roll
in a local bake-off.

THE TASTE LINGERS
I was caught
off guard:
my eyes widened;
my mouth gapped
and watered.
WOW!
I had never
seen one so
big, long, thick,
and desirable. It
was glowing with
juices and an
invitation which
said, "Eat me!"
I said, Yes, and
started to enjoy
the most amazing
T-bone Steak I
had ever eaten
in a 5-Star restaurant,
or any other restaurant.
The taste still lingers.
Had a good steak lately?

MY BEST FRIEND
DUKE
He lies faithfully at my side;
in dog years he has celebrated
80 years of life. His eyes
are dim; his teeth have
fallen out. Like an infant,
he must live on a diet of
liquids and soft foods.
His once strong and swift
legs that ran for miles
are now racked with pain;
he moves only when he
needs to relieve himself.
His tail still wags slowly
when he hears or sees me;
he perks up at the sound
of my voice. How long
does he have? I don't know
but I already miss him.
I am...

STILL LEARNING LOVE LESSONS
As I grow older and
the ebb and flow of life
continues to be my classroom;
I realize how little I know
and how much more I
want to know. In reflecting
on the jewel of all knowledge
LOVE
I just realized some of the
lessons I have learned:
REAL LOVE
...is always true
...is always forgiving,
...is always listening
...is always tactful
...is always gracious
...is self-sacrificing
...is subject to mistakes
...is faithful at all times
...is filled with integrity
...is a cherished gift
...is...

REALLY, FALLING IN LOVE?
Most of us remember or
continue to see the commercial
where the lady says,
"I have fallen and can't get up".
I remembering falling
into a boobie trap prepared
for wild game; and falling
out of a tree as a boy.
Neither was exciting or desired;
they were ACCIDENTS.
Every day people fall for
scams created for the gullible.
It appears that at some time
falling became associated with
LOVE.
Was it referencing a trap,
scheme, loss of control,
blindness, or some other
"accident" over which there
was no...
