Criss-cross my heart
Do I read too much into
You & I
Posed cross-legged
(as I remember promises of love)?
This mind,
logical & cynical
Rates these fantasies
Ridiculous
While my heart stubbornly considers
as hieroglyphics in the sand(s
Of time)…
that maybe
Someday
Your heart might be mine
You & I
Posed cross-legged
(as I remember promises of love)?
This mind,
logical & cynical
Rates these fantasies
Ridiculous
While my heart stubbornly considers
as hieroglyphics in the sand(s
Of time)…
that maybe
Someday
Your heart might be mine

Coming Storm
The wildness of the wind and turbid green sea
Beckoned me
Leggings & shacket hardly enough
to ward off the icy dry
Driven into face and hands
By the wild currents of the skies
But I cared not!
Along the sand I ran!
Seagulls bracing the raging wind
With them my spirit flew
Soaring on the ravishing wild
Of a coming storm
Seek me out, Love!
Find me free beside the roaring bay
Take me, Love
Free the wild inside my fantasy
Press me, Love
As this cold air presses hard my body
Release my Love
In...

Despair
It doesn’t HAVE to be
this Nevermore
(does it???)
Why
Must you Manifest
Denial of desire?
Is there really
NO
satisfactory possibility
you can imagine?
My tears bely
the fear inside
Have you NO
Maybe or Someday
to ease this pain?
The hollow of your absence consumes my all!
I NEED YOU

Chromatography of Grief
Did my tears bleed
The colors of my heart
All those nights I cried for you?
Did mourning eyes
Filter through the mingled pigments
To identify the vast spectrums
of Loneliness?
This grief comes in many shades
Of missing you
The colors of my heart
All those nights I cried for you?
Did mourning eyes
Filter through the mingled pigments
To identify the vast spectrums
of Loneliness?
This grief comes in many shades
Of missing you

Reciprocate?
That feeling
of assurance
resting home, safe
LOVED
Do I not merit
Knowing?
My ears & heart
Ache
For your voice reminding
Love
Dare you not
Reciprocate?

Permission
Fear of losing more of you
Binds my tongue
Handcuffs the hello
Chains my wishes left undone
However,
If your apprehensions do abate
Freeing courageous words to me
I won’t be lost to silence this time
Fear won’t keep me sitting on reply
The answer is already
“Yes”
Binds my tongue
Handcuffs the hello
Chains my wishes left undone
However,
If your apprehensions do abate
Freeing courageous words to me
I won’t be lost to silence this time
Fear won’t keep me sitting on reply
The answer is already
“Yes”

In Every Way
Do you long for me
Far beyond sexual need
As I do you?
Yes, I feel the throbbing passion
The unsated hunger
For your body merged with mine…
But there’s more
I need to know your life
My eyes seek the deep blue windows
Into all of you
I want to know your mind
Expand my knowledge
With your own
Tell me all your secrets
As I trust you with mine
Join my spirit
Soaring through the universe
Laugh with me
Frolic through the wonders of the world
As we explore together
I want it all
I want the world ...
Far beyond sexual need
As I do you?
Yes, I feel the throbbing passion
The unsated hunger
For your body merged with mine…
But there’s more
I need to know your life
My eyes seek the deep blue windows
Into all of you
I want to know your mind
Expand my knowledge
With your own
Tell me all your secrets
As I trust you with mine
Join my spirit
Soaring through the universe
Laugh with me
Frolic through the wonders of the world
As we explore together
I want it all
I want the world ...

Those Words
I love you”
Never says enough
It’s too cliche
Far too insufficient
Too brief
To encapsulate in entirety
How I feel for you
That is why I need
Tonal expressions of the voice
Eyes connecting
Touch
Oh so much I need to show with touch
The expansive palette of emotions
All for you
For ONLY you
And yet…
How I long for but a single word
From you…
Or three…
To hear you say again
“I love you”
Would pause my heartbeat
& ease my thirst
For more
Ever more
Of you
My Love ...

Sleepwalking Traveler
I’m sleepwalking
Across the globe
Through a lifetime of dreams
Brushing past webs of memories
& desires
To fall asleep again
Inside your heart of love
Across the globe
Through a lifetime of dreams
Brushing past webs of memories
& desires
To fall asleep again
Inside your heart of love

Ghost
your hushed hidden clawing
In my night
Reverberates to screeching
Out of sight
Haunting through this aching life
Persistent loss
Yet I miss unspoke permissions
To sense your cold wisps Tonight
Belief wains
As e’en the phantom ghost
Falls silent
In the Dark
I still reside
Within your soundless dungeon
Where it seems that e’en your ghost
Dare not to tread
Would you return
With vampiric kiss
To consume my need?
Return
Be more than just
a spectre
In my head
Be a pulsing...
In my night
Reverberates to screeching
Out of sight
Haunting through this aching life
Persistent loss
Yet I miss unspoke permissions
To sense your cold wisps Tonight
Belief wains
As e’en the phantom ghost
Falls silent
In the Dark
I still reside
Within your soundless dungeon
Where it seems that e’en your ghost
Dare not to tread
Would you return
With vampiric kiss
To consume my need?
Return
Be more than just
a spectre
In my head
Be a pulsing...

With Me
I guess that’s where
I’m rather different
Every moment more
with You
Is the most precious moment ever
In this eternity without
Yet I fear,
You cannot bear
a single moment
I’m rather different
Every moment more
with You
Is the most precious moment ever
In this eternity without
Yet I fear,
You cannot bear
a single moment

I did it again
I DID
Didn’t I?
I did it again & went too far
Asked too much
Because
The roots of our memories
Have overgrown my days
Need for you
Guides my ways
I’m sorry
I can’t promise
It won’t happen again
Emotions stronger than logic
Desire your presence
In my life
Didn’t I?
I did it again & went too far
Asked too much
Because
The roots of our memories
Have overgrown my days
Need for you
Guides my ways
I’m sorry
I can’t promise
It won’t happen again
Emotions stronger than logic
Desire your presence
In my life
