I remember
I remember the aroma left behind by the sea
when the tide was out and seaweed lay about
and little clickety-creatures scuttled away from me,
I remember the aroma left behind by the sea,
Among those shallow pools among fractured rocks
and those deep-green pools, those dark green stains
in the crack of rocks cracked by the restless sea,
I remember the aroma left behind by the sea,
By the rooshing inward woosh the receding hush
of the sound of the sea on cobbly pebbley road
the click and clack as we walked under the bullying gulls ...

Letters
I remember when you and your cousin Ann came to stay with your grandmother one summer weekend when you were 17. I first saw you down at the pond. I couldn’t take my eyes off of you, you made sure of that. Then Sunday morning at church…temptation disguised as the face of an angel.
You went back home but we wrote…

I’ve been rereading a couple of the letters that you’ve sent me over the years...some with a graceful fade into a yellowed tinge.
And it seems as days the time that’s flown.
How many pages did I crumple trying to find the...

Elements
Best be
with
the moon
Pale dance; soft swoon
Best be
with
the fire
Fall hard; oft mire
Best be
with
the wind
Play coy; rescind
Best be
with
the rain
Foist love; no gain
Best be
with
the air
Cruel hand; fresh tear
Best be
with
the sun
Spate chance, undone
Best be
with
the stars
Our scars in jars
Best be
with
the earth
Blank...

the moon
Pale dance; soft swoon

Brass Ring
You there on the carousel
never believing in the brass ring
I only wanted the best for you
and that just wasn't me
My angel since the second grade
so gentle and soft spoken
always chose the harshest men
that left you bruised and broken
It has been thirty years
since last I saw your face
that never really bothers me
my heart still holds your place
So as you spin around a world
never including me
I will always love you
sincerely, your brass ring
never believing in the brass ring
I only wanted the best for you
and that just wasn't me
My angel since the second grade
so gentle and soft spoken
always chose the harshest men
that left you bruised and broken
It has been thirty years
since last I saw your face
that never really bothers me
my heart still holds your place
So as you spin around a world
never including me
I will always love you
sincerely, your brass ring

When She Climbed Out Of The Pool
When she
climbed out of the
pool, her bikini top
looked like it would not contain those
jugs of hers for much longer. You agree?

Matters of Attraction
My beloved showed me beauty, the strong
nuclear force, binding quarks —
and its marvellous spin-off, uniting bodies.
Spanning atoms or stars, mysterious
glue, exchange of tangling tokens,
trinkets, touches, words —
body-breathed, fingertip written,
tracing undulating contours.
Following spacetime dimples, planets blindly
orbit their star.
Charmed, we lie, still,
eye to eye, in a darkened room, and worlds
fall away. The cosmos shrinks
wrapping us.

My First Love
The one who cared to any degree.
The one to set my burden free.
You were the first, to show myself to me.
My first love, you will always be.
All the water, may vanish from the sea.
The rain, & clouds may no longer agree.
Father time, might leave Mother Nature, absentee.
But my first love, you will always be.
Our paths forward, might disagree.
Past circumstances, we couldn't foresee.
One thing though, I guarantee,
My first love, you will always be.
The one to set my burden free.
You were the first, to show myself to me.

All night bed springs chime
I am young, such a sweet taste
And you want everything from me
Very greedy for my body,
So eager to start
I'll help, don't worry
Clothes fall away soon
You handle me so easily
Not one to be shy
First caresses smoothly,
Breasts, hips and the whole body ...
Ah-hh! You are naughty,
This intense need to drink me
Your tongue penetrated so boldly...
Now I'm sliding to pleasure,
As you take sips deeply
That's why I'm uncontrollable...
Struggling against the sensation
Enter me deeper,
I crave this eternal...

Need, Want, and Desire
Need, Want, and Desire
For years
I thought
I needed
Her,
But her absence
And abandoning
Behaviors
Eventually
Taught me
Through
Loneliness
That
I really
Didn't
Need her
At all.
I thought
Then
That
I wanted
Her,
But
What good
Was that
When she
Hardly knew
That I
Was alive?
Then
I discovered,
I had
Desired her,
To be near,
To know,
To be
Within
The orbit

It Hurts
I realize that my body dysmorphia is just a distraction.
From all the things that still bother me.
The really important things that kill me deep down inside...
I still love him...
Can you really even learn to un-love someone?
I still wish upon a star that he was the one.
And I still have the deep down part of me that believes he was genuine when saying that if I became homeless, he'd give me a place to stay. Because he cared about his friends.
I know deep down somewhere that I'm not imagining this. Him also asking...

First kiss
One summer night
Moon shining down
Trees casting shadows
Fog setting in
Dog barking in the distance
Girl holding my hand
Heart racing
Palm sweating
Girl leaning
Kiss nearing
Absolute heaven
