Poet Introduction
Wait . . . Poetry? I thought this was a dating site!
Choices
I don't know what she's doing with me
She's beautiful and I'm
Well let's be honest I'm not
But she looks at me
And she holds me
And she kisses me
Like I'm the only person
That she has ever wanted
The only person she will ever want
And really I just want to know
Why?
Why would she ever choose me?
And she did
She chose me
Before I chose her
She chose me
I hope I can be worth it.
She's beautiful and I'm
Well let's be honest I'm not
But she looks at me
And she holds me
And she kisses me
Like I'm the only person
That she has ever wanted
The only person she will ever want
And really I just want to know
Why?
Why would she ever choose me?
And she did
She chose me
Before I chose her
She chose me
I hope I can be worth it.

Sleepy
Darling
I hear you speaking
I hear your pretty words
And something like breathing
Rhythmic windiness of life
Your only secret
But when I look into your eyes and see them sparkling
So much more than the wine ever could
You lean your head against my chest and sigh
This is when I know
And you can stop pretending
Because I do know
There is so much more to nights
When you are draped across my chest
I hear you speaking
I hear your pretty words
And something like breathing
Rhythmic windiness of life
Your only secret
But when I look into your eyes and see them sparkling
So much more than the wine ever could
You lean your head against my chest and sigh
This is when I know
And you can stop pretending
Because I do know
There is so much more to nights
When you are draped across my chest

I talk most when you sleep
She's so warm
And I'm so tired
But it's 90 and humid tonight
And she's laying on top of me
But I wouldn't move her an inch
I hold her
Feel her breathing
Whisper her name to see if she's awake
But she's not awake.
She probably fell asleep ten minutes ago
So I tell her
I tell her everything I know she'd like to hear
Everything I want to say
Everything that can really be said
I tell her then I hold her through the night
When she wakes up she doesn't know what I said
She never heard any of it.
Maybe someday soon she will
And I'm so tired
But it's 90 and humid tonight
And she's laying on top of me
But I wouldn't move her an inch
I hold her
Feel her breathing
Whisper her name to see if she's awake
But she's not awake.
She probably fell asleep ten minutes ago
So I tell her
I tell her everything I know she'd like to hear
Everything I want to say
Everything that can really be said
I tell her then I hold her through the night
When she wakes up she doesn't know what I said
She never heard any of it.
Maybe someday soon she will

As I kiss her
As she sits atop me
And I pull the hairtie from her hair
Her curly hair falls down around her face
Her beautiful hair that she doesn't like
And I love
As I caress her abs
And massage her breasts
She's breathing harder
Faster
I'm breathing deeper
I grab her hips and push her
Down
I pull her in for a kiss
Deep and passionate
She's so hot
I'm sweating
This attic is overheating
And she whispers
But those words are only for me
And her hair brushes across my face
As I kiss her
And I pull the hairtie from her hair
Her curly hair falls down around her face
Her beautiful hair that she doesn't like
And I love
As I caress her abs
And massage her breasts
She's breathing harder
Faster
I'm breathing deeper
I grab her hips and push her
Down
I pull her in for a kiss
Deep and passionate
She's so hot
I'm sweating
This attic is overheating
And she whispers
But those words are only for me
And her hair brushes across my face
As I kiss her

Blind and sad
She can see just fine
But not everyone gets
What they want
Fair is unbiased
The same rules apply to everyone
Everyone has the same opportunity
Do with it what you will
She's not uncaring
In fact she feels too much
Her hopes her yearning
It's never really enough
Sometimes she gets distracted
And we hold these moments up
Say look at this she's broken
She's just not good enough
Any idea, any principle
Can be turned to an evil cause
But is a lapse in justice
Worse than a war fought for a god?

Love letter
My sweet,
You hold me in your hand
So softly, so gently
And yet your grip is sure
My heartbeat gets carried
Away every time I see you
And I think forward
The future of you and me
I sing my love
But I haven't told you
You don't know
I love you
I'm certain I do
But it seems far too early to tell you
But I'm sure I love you
I can think about getting married someday
Or having kids
I hope I make a great first impression
When I meet your parents
I hope your brothers like me
They say one way to know...
You hold me in your hand
So softly, so gently
And yet your grip is sure
My heartbeat gets carried

You don't know
I love you
I'm certain I do
But it seems far too early to tell you
But I'm sure I love you
I can think about getting married someday
Or having kids
I hope I make a great first impression
When I meet your parents
I hope your brothers like me
They say one way to know...

Beg for this
I would bend the truth
In the pursuit of sex
I would cheat on my tax returns
I would do underhanded
Business dealings
I love to win
But poetry is different
I want to write the wind
Stir a heart
Whisper a kiss
And stroke a soul
And though I can
Rhyme
Meter
And enjamb
With the best of them
I like the way I write
And I won't change it
For a fucking trophy
I'll settle for runner up
You see I'm an obscurist attention seeker anyway

Thankless
Perhaps the worst job
It leaves a strange taste in the mouth
And unreciprocated
What the fuck
Some appreciation
For the dedication
Or next time it's masturbation
I'm just saying thanks would be nice
Blow jobs suck
That's what I've heard
It leaves a strange taste in the mouth
And unreciprocated
What the fuck
Some appreciation
For the dedication
Or next time it's masturbation
I'm just saying thanks would be nice
Blow jobs suck

Sing to me
the only music
i really
enjoy listening to
is the song you sing when
we are together
the purity of your notes
the honesty of your words
every little fuck
a symphony
a masterpiece
i always know how it feels
your moan
your scream
there's no song
better to me

Only a kiss
It was only a kiss but
Time
Came unwound
And as
The
Earth
Shatte

d
I painted my wallswithglue
And threw the nearby pieces
At them
They stuckwherethey landed
And I tilted my head and chuckled
Kaleidoscope world giggles
What did she do to me?
It was only a kiss!

What a dream
I had a dream
Woke up
I kissed her
Had my arm around her
Held her to my chest
Her head on my shoulder
Nuzzling my neck
Her arm draped across me
Her hand on my chest
I hum her a song
I think I made it up
She smiles her sleepy smile
And tries to pull closer
It's not possible but she still tries
I sigh and smile
And somehow I'm supposed to sleep
With an arm wrapped around an angel
Woke up
I kissed her
Had my arm around her
Held her to my chest
Her head on my shoulder
Nuzzling my neck
Her arm draped across me
Her hand on my chest
I hum her a song
I think I made it up
She smiles her sleepy smile
And tries to pull closer
It's not possible but she still tries
I sigh and smile
And somehow I'm supposed to sleep
With an arm wrapped around an angel

Your electrifying touch
Insensate
My clouded mind
Rumbles with thoughts of you
As I try to wrap myself
Around the idea of us
As I try to wrap my mind around you
Electric
Your hand on my bare chest
As you lay against me
Flooding me with electricity
I spark at your touch
You electrify me
serene
Keeping my composure
Holding you close
As you fall asleep in my arms
Nothing in the world matters
When I'm with you
Passion
Burning in your kiss
You can't fake this
The desire, the need, the demand
As you grasp the hair at...
