Devoid of All, Devoid of Nothing
Am sick
Am empty
Devoid of all
Devoid of nothing
Shattered lives
Living in shattered worlds
Splintering, even wood glue cannot
Bind our lives on the journey
Of enlightenment, blah, blah, blah
Is bullshit anyway
Even the mind's eye
Passes away without fanfare
To a crowd who in reality is
Devoid of all
Devoid of nothing
Pretending to be something
Acting all enlighted
While feeling like
They are in the depths of hell
And the destruction
Of our very existence
In a non-existent world ...
Am empty
Devoid of all
Devoid of nothing
Shattered lives
Living in shattered worlds
Splintering, even wood glue cannot
Bind our lives on the journey
Of enlightenment, blah, blah, blah
Is bullshit anyway
Even the mind's eye
Passes away without fanfare
To a crowd who in reality is
Devoid of all
Devoid of nothing
Pretending to be something
Acting all enlighted
While feeling like
They are in the depths of hell
And the destruction
Of our very existence
In a non-existent world ...

Edge of time
Yes, you know I want more...
To slow dance
On the edge of time
In deep space
To be consumed
Like stars nearing
A black hole
Slow at first
Accelerating
Gradually 'til
Out of control
Point of no return
Breathlessly
Falling back
Into time
Back into
Earth's space
Humbled, spent
Still wanting more
To slow dance
On the edge of time
In deep space
To be consumed
Like stars nearing
A black hole
Slow at first
Accelerating
Gradually 'til
Out of control
Point of no return
Breathlessly
Falling back
Into time
Back into
Earth's space
Humbled, spent
Still wanting more

Paint your lips with mine
Touching your photo
A thousand times
Run my fingers
Thru your hair
Scratch your scalp
Delightful you say
Tracing your face
Wistfully thinking you
Might spring to life
From photo in hand
I paint your
Lips with mine
Tasting you
Divine in nature
Hot to touch
Photos say so much
And, so little
Betwixt the past
And the present
Expressive at times
In emotional sates
Of varying degrees
Of photos
Of memories
Of current events
In my head
I paint your lips
With mine
A thousand times
Run my fingers
Thru your hair
Scratch your scalp
Delightful you say
Tracing your face
Wistfully thinking you
Might spring to life
From photo in hand
I paint your
Lips with mine
Tasting you
Divine in nature
Hot to touch
Photos say so much
And, so little
Betwixt the past
And the present
Expressive at times
In emotional sates
Of varying degrees
Of photos
Of memories
Of current events
In my head
I paint your lips
With mine

Eleanor Roosevelt
Why is it that
Eleanor Roosevelt
With low self esteem
Was well liked
Loved by millions
Looked upon
As a wise woman
Admiration laid
Upon her
Accolades galore
It did not matter
That she thought
Lowly of herself
A lovely woman
In her own right
Of course being
Married to
Frankliin D Roosevelt
Gave a boost
She was not
Shunned, shamed
Was not made
To feel little
Or unattractive...
So why...
When everyday
Normal people
Like me ...

Tongues Entwine
Their lips meet
Soft breath
Filling the void
Tongues entwine
Dancing...breathing
Melodically
Hearts beating
Eyes gazing
Drinking her soft
Rose petal skin
Lips, crimson pink
Morning light
Glistening off the
Pale moon light
Caressing her waist
Tasting the fragrance
Of her femininity
Her curves shadowed
His hands afire
Male parts
Swelling ready
For the velvet
Paradise lying
Next to him
He reaches out
She pulls him
Toward her
Drawing closer
Feeling her...
Soft breath
Filling the void
Tongues entwine
Dancing...breathing
Melodically
Hearts beating
Eyes gazing
Drinking her soft
Rose petal skin
Lips, crimson pink
Morning light
Glistening off the
Pale moon light
Caressing her waist
Tasting the fragrance

He reaches out
She pulls him
Toward her
Drawing closer

Fishnet Stockings
A short expose'
On one woman's
Opinion on finding what
She's needing
Is it really so
Difficult a concept
Just can't learn
A very simple
Delightful saying
Tired of boyfriend
75 with COPD
A lovely man
Really, especially
When he touched
Me, oh yea jumped
Right outta my skin
2-1/2 years later
Can't take being
A nursemaid
Any longer...
You get the picture
Been a process
Cried more since
With him then
Several together
I made the choice
Trying...

nothing is real
Nothing is real
Except the pain
Depression increase
Pressure release
Sadness, a madness
Self loathing
Vicious cycles
Up and down
Back and forth
Broken in time
Enriched with heart ache
Squimmush
Get out the tums
By the bed dummy
Two maybe three
To handle the tummy
Cobwebs of depression
Systemic in nature
DNA instructed
Manic some days
Depressive most others
Try to get
Boots on ground
To fight war in head
Get up soldier
Time to release
Those endorphins

nazarene sex at 13
Small midwest town
Sunday evenin'
Roun' bout 7
Hot and balmy
Everyone a sweatin'
Window fans
A buzzin' stale air
Blowin' everywhere
Keepin' us cool
Old women
Pulling back hair
From their faces
Hands swaying
Back and forth
Using Jesus fans
Put there
By the deacons
Church services...
Songs of joy
Being raised to heaven
Prayin' to a god
No one can see
Gettin' saved and sanctified
Was a weekly thing
Couldn't behave
Myself no matter...

f**king myself
Fucking myself,
Better than nothin'
Skin-on-skin is best,
Even though
I can fuck
Myself better,
Can't beat
The heat between
Two bodies
Physically connecting
Our beings
As we become
One, merging
With the other
Melting like
Butter in a game
Of Hot Potatoe
Add, salt
And pepper
To taste
Top with
Sour cream
Baco-bits
And some chives
A delight
To the senses
Can even
Be a leftover
Warmed over
Eaten til
All is gone
Yum-yum
Better than nothin'
Skin-on-skin is best,
Even though
I can fuck
Myself better,
Can't beat
The heat between
Two bodies
Physically connecting
Our beings
As we become

Melting like

Digital transcendence III
At the top
Of my forever list
You are very special
Never got to touch
Skin-on-skin
Would have done anything
To get to you
To make love with you
To feel you
All our fantasies
Back and forth
Poetic expressions
Between us
Will always be
Part of me
If ever given a chance
Would hop a jetplane
Just to go fuck
Your brains out
Swear to Gaia I would
Put on quite a show
Of the who of me
Leaving my mark
Indelibly on
Your very being
Please, always ...
Of my forever list
You are very special
Never got to touch
Skin-on-skin
Would have done anything

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

10th Apr 2020 7:04pm
Desire grows, love follows
My desire grows
Love following
Close behind
Running door to door
In the sun
Of bright yellow
Under the pale moon
Searched every
Nook and cranny
For the one
To treasure my
Fragrant burnt offerings
Filling flared nostrils
Visions of faded beauty
Flooding senses
Sensual images
Passionate kisses
Long hugs
Playing in your head
Playing in your loins
Barely clinging
To hope, anxious
Prostate begging
My Imaginary Genie ...
