Summer
She is stunning.
a drop of Summer
upon the season of snow;
A touch of wonder
I cannot let go.

Summertime
Sunday night,
after dinner, and impromptu dancing,
my hand strayed over the zipper
at the back of her yellow summer dress.
Her eyes fixed on me
as I gingerly drew it down.
She pressed close to me when
my hand slid onto the small of her back;
her skin as smooth as butter,
and perilous as whisky.
She laid a tender smile on my cheek,
whispering ‘Now kiss me.’

Loss
A piece of advice
I’d like my past self to know?
‘She is worth
Far more than you’ll ever know.’

Amiss
I feel
Deeper in my roots
Than weathered oaks
A hundred years old;
I feel
Frail as the tender shoots
Of green plants that won’t
Survive the springtime cold.

Tongue
My tongue drips
With wanton desire,
To rollick upon you
And stoke your fire.
My lust is begging
To drink you in:
The salt and the sweet
Your virtue, and sin.
With wanton desire,
To rollick upon you
And stoke your fire.
My lust is begging
To drink you in:

Whisky
Her lips were like
whisky from Durango:
Much too smooth
with just the right bite,
So easy to savor
long into the night.

Survivor?
Are there any survivors?
As Passenger sings;
Treading New York lanes,
And how it rings;
In the back of my mind,
In the center of my skull,
These last few years
Having taken their toll;
My own cancer path
Forked from my friend;
Mine has yet to go south
And bring to me the end;
My lips are liars;
I thought them remedy.
But all my desires
Seem to focus only on me;
Are there are survivors?
Or am I here alone?
I long since took the path
That leads too far from home.

Mine has yet to go south
And bring to me the end;

But all my desires
Seem to focus only on me;
Are there are survivors?
Or am I here alone?
I long since took the path

Autumn
Autumn’s hour
Is always a treat
Her attire falls
About her feet
Her juicy apples
Look so sweet
And a peach so
Tempting to eat
Is always a treat
Her attire falls
About her feet
Her juicy apples
Look so sweet
And a peach so
Tempting to eat

DARK POEM

Ringing
The ringing in my ears
terrifies me;
I hear it as a cry of death,
that all must soon heed.
Whenever I hear it,
my mind sways and
my heart gives in;
I stumble into black peril,
sweat burning against
the fading feeling
of my own skin.
I dread the ringing;
It is the sound
of blood and needles:
And I've settled my debt with cancer,
and I've knocked upon death's door,
and the ringing in my ears
is terrible and timorous,
and I want to hear no more.

Autumn
Midas-touched trees:
Their wealth of leaves,
spent in an afternoon
by the autumn breeze.

Eternity
We:
captives forced
upon the march into
Eternity;
and perhaps
(but only perhaps)
it might be
less to my shame
if you marched
still
beside me.
