POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Alternate reality—perfection
shots of you
showers
alternate realities
holding
being held
wanting while dreaming pleasure
warm breath brushing neck
presence of voice and body
soothing reassurance
strong embrace that cannot say goodbye
gentle kiss that cannot let go
assurance of eternal love
even
when perfection is a fading moment remembered
with the pleasure of its presence
and the pain of its passing.

Flitting memory
Just now
A soft romantic kiss
From years long past
Set my heart on fire
Racing after
Long lost passion
I’ve wanted to do this for so long

Alternate reality—In the Beginning
The Missing Piece
2 days ago
I stepped into a different world.
A world where I am
liked
cared for
loved?
A world of warmth
naked
comfortable
warmth
But in this soothing world
there is one thing missing--
the closeness
the touch
The shared hug must go unfelt.
The kiss of passion unsavored.
I miss you.

I fantasize
You design a portal
Transcending space & time…
We’re there together
Now and then.
I enter.
Your blue, melancholy deep-set eyes
Await.
Sighs escape
As we embrace.
Long I’m held in your arms
As long my heart has held on.
Blood rushes;
Hearts beat faster, stronger.
In your presence
I flush;
You blush.
Words catch in our speechless mouths
So we speak
Through touch
What so long has gone unsaid.
We find a perfect room, a bed.
Sit cross-legged facing ...
Transcending space & time…
We’re there together
Now and then.
I enter.
Your blue, melancholy deep-set eyes
Await.
Sighs escape
As we embrace.
Long I’m held in your arms
As long my heart has held on.
Blood rushes;
Hearts beat faster, stronger.
In your presence
I flush;
You blush.
Words catch in our speechless mouths
So we speak
Through touch
What so long has gone unsaid.
We find a perfect room, a bed.
Sit cross-legged facing ...

Restless
Beyond midnight
Whiskey floods the veins
Unshed tears
Over ashes, these remains
Mourn the dead
Mourn the gone
Mourn the heart once strong
Now wrong
Mourn the squandered past
The empty now
Frozen memory of that final last
Farewell
Empty broken words
Promises unkept
Pierced with sword
Of hopes inept
Future aimless fading figure
Letting restless sleep
At last take over
Whiskey floods the veins
Unshed tears
Over ashes, these remains
Mourn the dead
Mourn the gone
Mourn the heart once strong
Now wrong
Mourn the squandered past
The empty now
Frozen memory of that final last
Farewell
Empty broken words
Promises unkept
Pierced with sword
Of hopes inept
Future aimless fading figure
Letting restless sleep
At last take over

Programmed
They wrote it on my dna
From my mother’s mother’s mother
And all those aunts and uncles
The deacons, elders, teachers, preachers, leaders
They wrote me wrong
“He’s weak so be responsible”
“Don’t cry” “kneel down”
“Listen” “obey” “because I said”
“sinner” “died”
“Thou Shalt Not” “shalt not” “shalt not”
Be good girl, say sorry, bow and pray
OBEY
Baby to girl to breasts that grew
Walk the line, speak OUR “truth”
There Is NO you!
REMEMBER: please, not pleasure
That’s right
Kneel now ...
From my mother’s mother’s mother
And all those aunts and uncles
The deacons, elders, teachers, preachers, leaders
They wrote me wrong
“He’s weak so be responsible”
“Don’t cry” “kneel down”
“Listen” “obey” “because I said”

Baby to girl to breasts that grew
Walk the line, speak OUR “truth”

REMEMBER: please, not pleasure

Taken
Flying free at night
Twin sharp teeth of white
Blood red need
throbbing bleed
Ageless faces of eternal longing
Blessed bite that brings belonging
Fall towards my embrace
Melancholy trace
Trickling from his tongue
Naked mouth and I’m undone
Take me all, welcomed fiend
My hate, my love, my in between
Ravish lips to lips and enter in
forever hold, embrace of sin.
Until I taste of your inferno
Together our memory eternal.
Twin sharp teeth of white
Blood red need
throbbing bleed
Ageless faces of eternal longing
Blessed bite that brings belonging
Fall towards my embrace
Melancholy trace
Trickling from his tongue
Naked mouth and I’m undone
Take me all, welcomed fiend
My hate, my love, my in between
Ravish lips to lips and enter in
forever hold, embrace of sin.
Until I taste of your inferno
Together our memory eternal.
