willing tears
who are you
that
should know me
so well, so familiar
that you feel free
to cry
upon my shoulders?
should i speak out?
i have seen you,
your sorrowfulness
is overwhelming
but there
are no words,
nothing comforting
that i can say
to ease
your troubles.
accept these
passing moments,
just tell everyone
that you
had something
in your eye.

undressing you
you stood there
with the others,
waiting
for someone
to pick
you out,
i came along,
picked you over
the others,
once i got you
into my car,
i could not help
but to
touch you,
the ride home
was long,
i kept thinking
of you,
how excited
i became,
i take you inside,
i can't
wait
any longer,
i undress you
right there
in the kitchen,
as i taste you
for
the first time,
i realize
how juicy ...

Yesterday 9:39am
i still think of her
these times, late at night,
these sleepless
late at night times,
she comes visiting my mind,
wandering into
my memories, staying awhile,
i have tried my best
not to think of her each day
like i did for years before,
she has never aged, only
grown more beautiful to me,
i wonder if she knew how much
i wanted her, not necessarily
needing her, but wanting her,
whether it was lustful or
a need to make myself feel better
i cannot say for sure, but i wanted
to be with her,
being close to her made me...

she is (like)
she is like
the wind,
gentle at times
yet others
defiant,
going where
she pleases,
she is like
the sunshine,
bright
and shining,
stretching out
all over
the world,
she is like
the waters
flowing free,
almost
no ends
to her
destinations,
touching
the lands
she pleases,
and now,
she is like
the moon,
resting high
above
to gather
a better view
of where
she will
go next,
after her rest
is over.

under the moon's sighs
i walk under
the moon's sighs,
i hold gentle
this fantasy
i have of you
it is something
my heart
holds close,
from
the beginning,
i will not
forget you,
these simple words
may be read
between pages
of my soul,
but my thoughts
will forever
write poems of you
the moon's sighs,
i hold gentle
this fantasy
i have of you
it is something
my heart
holds close,
from
the beginning,
i will not
forget you,
these simple words
may be read
between pages
of my soul,
but my thoughts
will forever
write poems of you

raindrop
how beautiful
you are
in your struggle,
come to me
with
light footsteps
give yourself
for
the first time,
seduce me,
tease me,
kiss me,
that wild
taste of you
washes
over me,
i become
helpless
under your spell,
you are
in your struggle,
come to me
with
light footsteps
give yourself
for
the first time,
seduce me,
tease me,
kiss me,
that wild
taste of you
washes
over me,
i become
helpless
under your spell,

a day together
it would be a nice day,
the sun sometimes hiding
behind waving clouds,
keeping the heat of summer
at bay, dressing the evening
cooler, the trees watching,
all in their borrowed clothes,
the water gentle, producing
an exchange of ideas,
threads placed in the open
mouth of the stone lined pond,
a call from a passing tourist
watching from overhead,
its destination yet unknown,
maybe a lay over for a needed
rest, read the menu, fish,
sounds of the wind whistling
tunes that sound all too...

a view from a sidewalk cafe (in paris)
these picturesque sights,
a taste of new summer wine
light tears in my eyes
this gentle inspiring city
like a painter's spectacle
proud of this delightful moment
this open, airy feel,
the cobblestones echo
opening my mind, my thoughts,
the sky hinged just above
that lasting skyline, waiting,
listening to the crowd below
i find myself mingling among
the casual everyday people
their language foreign to me
but their love, their actions, real,
even when i sit among them
dressed as they...

no thoughts (less imagination)
that massive rain
dripping inside my skull
extinguishing the fire
that i can't get started,
working in my fields
left untilled, unfertile,
in shallow rows
revealing no crops,
an empty pocket full of lint
that makes worthless thread
that can't hold thoughts
sewed together.

come spring
and her cold winter
only matched her feelings,
don't let her deceive you
with her looks so lovely,
her heart is frozen over
like winter time,
her bitterness compiled
from long lonely days
and even long lonelier nights,
but, she can dream those dreams
that kept her from completely
giving up on the thoughts of love,
even she realized that after
every winter, spring followed,
the time of year where things
were new again, she needed
to survive until then,
and there came spring, a thaw ...

my strange affair with love
ideas i had of things
about love
as a young man,
what it was supposed
to represent
through unveiled eyes,
soon disappointment
drove it away,
it only gave warning
respectively
a few times
in all the years
since i learned
of its existence,
coming and going,
staying awhile,
its strange way
of looking in on me
after i had given up,
showing up at my door
with all of its belongings,
moving in
like a squatter
without permission
or...

lies
your lips
lied to me
with each kiss
they gave me
lied to me
with each kiss
they gave me
