POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm sharing my erotic and love poetry separate from my other work. It's pretty personal so while I welcome comments and constructive critique (I'm published & have an Eng Lit Masters) if for you "honest" ="brutal" , please don't!

Time Zones
Ten thousand miles away and on her face
The dawn is yet to bloom.
Outside the stormwinds rage
And body tired she stumbled to her room.
There she tossed and turned and failed to sleep
And hourly I called from the antipodean heat
To see if words might hold her safe
Until my arms could make us both complete.
I see her now: that face upon the pillow
That I know I would only stir
And bring to restless waking with kiss
If I could break my bondage and be there.
Rest on, sleep sweet: soon in a slivered moment ...
The dawn is yet to bloom.
Outside the stormwinds rage
And body tired she stumbled to her room.
There she tossed and turned and failed to sleep
And hourly I called from the antipodean heat
To see if words might hold her safe
Until my arms could make us both complete.
I see her now: that face upon the pillow
That I know I would only stir
And bring to restless waking with kiss
If I could break my bondage and be there.
Rest on, sleep sweet: soon in a slivered moment ...

Pacific Dawning
Neath the blue-skied Southern Cross
A pink Pacific dawn-rise
But nature’s gift seems but a loss
All I can see are dark eyes.
And when, forlorn at night, I turn
Turbulent with worry-pain
One glance and graceful peace I learn
Dark eyes bring me home again.
I miss that wry incipient grin
That breathless tumbling through the day
When passion spent, her rosy chin
Upon my chest, she slips away.
And as her eyelids flicker shut
The spirit now subsides that moves her
My lifeline slipped, or dammed, or cut
I...
A pink Pacific dawn-rise
But nature’s gift seems but a loss
All I can see are dark eyes.
And when, forlorn at night, I turn
Turbulent with worry-pain
One glance and graceful peace I learn

I miss that wry incipient grin

Grace
So am I forgiven?”
She asked me this
As she lowered herself onto my resolve.
A confession that three
Strangers had separately
Delivered their exuberant unprotected offerings
To where I now nestled
Had, hours before,
Left me numb.
But here I was, hard and hungry
Wanting her more
Trusting her less,
Desiring, damaged and demented
By the yawning loss
In my hollowed-out heart.
Flexing to meet her fluid warmth
Her firm, rising breasts diffused
Through the mounting memory of a tear
“There’s nothing to forgive”...
She asked me this
As she lowered herself onto my resolve.
A confession that three
Strangers had separately
Delivered their exuberant unprotected offerings
To where I now nestled
Had, hours before,
Left me numb.
But here I was, hard and hungry
Wanting her more
Trusting her less,
Desiring, damaged and demented
By the yawning loss
In my hollowed-out heart.
Flexing to meet her fluid warmth
Her firm, rising breasts diffused
Through the mounting memory of a tear
“There’s nothing to forgive”...

Shirts
It wasn’t woollen
And it wasn’t a shirt
But that’s what she called it.
When she came
She’d arch her taut body
Hauling it upwards
On fistfuls of chest-hair
And subside laughing
At the soft cascade of curls
Gently adhering
To her moist cleavage.
Covering her shoulders
With my evening chemise
She’d waft androgenously off
Into her morning
Without showering.
The day she left
I waxed.
No-one
Would take so much
Of me again.
And worse
She had my shirts.
And it wasn’t a shirt
But that’s what she called it.
When she came
She’d arch her taut body
Hauling it upwards
On fistfuls of chest-hair
And subside laughing
At the soft cascade of curls
Gently adhering
To her moist cleavage.
Covering her shoulders
With my evening chemise
She’d waft androgenously off
Into her morning
Without showering.
The day she left
I waxed.
No-one
Would take so much
Of me again.
And worse
She had my shirts.

Millennium
Two thousand years have passed tonight
Since we know not what happened -
But Bede and the years determined that God's son
Must have his day
And that day must need a year
So that men could measure modern time
And reassure themselves that things, since then,
Had changed for the better.
We might measure time in other ways
By season, day or night
Time between floods or phases of the moon
By earthquake, famine or drought.
We might mark lifetimes, of the great and monumental
And the small insignificant ones
Whose purpose...

Rituals
I have sipped the blood of wine
The water of tears
Gone the silver chalice in the rustling of the surplice.
I have felt the heart's glow.
The gaze of God through coloured glass,
Rising lightly at the nunc dimittis while dead barons slumber.
I have wondered at what relics held:
Delusion, renewal, confusion, betrayal,
And heard the empty echo on the clashing stones.
I have drained the empty cup.
Another's silent body in the night
Who smiling, with "I love you", spun away into darker wastes.
You are my chalice,...
The water of tears
Gone the silver chalice in the rustling of the surplice.
I have felt the heart's glow.
The gaze of God through coloured glass,
Rising lightly at the nunc dimittis while dead barons slumber.
I have wondered at what relics held:
Delusion, renewal, confusion, betrayal,
And heard the empty echo on the clashing stones.
I have drained the empty cup.
Another's silent body in the night
Who smiling, with "I love you", spun away into darker wastes.
You are my chalice,...

The Two Loves
The love of a man is a strange thing to me.
It seems to me powerful, all consuming
Yet alien.
Something that burns inside me yet not of me
Something that brings me alive yet threatens to consume me.
Sometimes I feel it like a flame
Sometimes like a rock
Sometimes a pain
Of something struggling to be born or be
Trapped in circumstance and history.
The love of a woman I know and yet don’t know.
It surrounds me and cloaks me
Yet disappears.
Something that flows through me yet not of me
Something that connects me yet...
It seems to me powerful, all consuming
Yet alien.
Something that burns inside me yet not of me
Something that brings me alive yet threatens to consume me.
Sometimes I feel it like a flame
Sometimes like a rock
Sometimes a pain
Of something struggling to be born or be
Trapped in circumstance and history.
The love of a woman I know and yet don’t know.
It surrounds me and cloaks me
Yet disappears.
Something that flows through me yet not of me
Something that connects me yet...

Ageless
I am old " she said
This body that I never controlled
Now makes me a stranger within it
Now revolts against its own cyclic discipline
Now burns, now freezes, now ceases to flow
Its purpose past
It strips me of what makes me woman.
My skin wrinkles, my bum sags
My belly bulges
Fuzzy-cheeked, my passion dwindles and even my sweat seems
Not my own.
Is the ending of two thousand years the ending of the woman that I was?
I look on. I cannot share this painful mystery.
Yet I know too the mystery that is a woman's body is not...
This body that I never controlled
Now makes me a stranger within it
Now revolts against its own cyclic discipline
Now burns, now freezes, now ceases to flow
Its purpose past
It strips me of what makes me woman.
My skin wrinkles, my bum sags
My belly bulges
Fuzzy-cheeked, my passion dwindles and even my sweat seems
Not my own.
Is the ending of two thousand years the ending of the woman that I was?
I look on. I cannot share this painful mystery.
Yet I know too the mystery that is a woman's body is not...

Lost for Words
I cannot speak my love for you
My own dear sweetest love
I only know I wish for you
The stars and moon above.
The words have not been crafted yet
For you my love to know
I only know I wish for you
The grass beneath your toes.
And while my words will always fail
To help my love take flight
I only know I wish for you
Two arms to hold you tight.
And when I look into your eyes
And feel your beating heart
I only know I wish for me
That we should never part.
My own dear sweetest love
I only know I wish for you
The stars and moon above.
The words have not been crafted yet
For you my love to know
I only know I wish for you
The grass beneath your toes.
And while my words will always fail
To help my love take flight
I only know I wish for you
Two arms to hold you tight.
And when I look into your eyes
And feel your beating heart
I only know I wish for me
That we should never part.

Fidelity
Don’t turn around.
You’re warm and you’re soft and you smell like I knew you would
But for God’s sake stay put.
Your skin melts my fingertips as it meets them
Making experience childlike and practice fall away
As I touch with pure instinct.
Have you any idea how musical your breathing sounds?
I remind myself you smoke enough to send a night errant
Stumbling down the ring road at 2 am when you run out
But common sense isn’t going to help here.
I’m way beyond common sense.
Once I met you answering the morning door with a hangover.
You...
You’re warm and you’re soft and you smell like I knew you would
But for God’s sake stay put.
Your skin melts my fingertips as it meets them
Making experience childlike and practice fall away
As I touch with pure instinct.
Have you any idea how musical your breathing sounds?
I remind myself you smoke enough to send a night errant
Stumbling down the ring road at 2 am when you run out
But common sense isn’t going to help here.
I’m way beyond common sense.
Once I met you answering the morning door with a hangover.
You...
