Crave
write the word 'mine'
on my upper thigh
and wrapped your hands around my waist
screaming when are you gonna love me back
on my upper thigh
and wrapped your hands around my waist
screaming when are you gonna love me back

Spaces
Hidden in the many paragraphs I scrawl and haphazardly type,
An unintelligible phrase is burrowed in the spaces.
It’s a riddle to be broken,
Just for the smallest of hands.
A trial of the soul,
It mocks time itself.
Written only in indigo ink by the light of the moon,
A beckoning without a ballroom to dance in.
She showed me what I’d lost,
I’ll show her to the door.
I’ll interlace our fingers until she’s shivering,
Burrowed in the spaces.
And when I bring her mouth to mine,
Pardoning the flesh...

Burrowed in the spaces.

Magnificent Is What You Are
You don't have to be attracted to me
to be attractive to me
Whether you say "no"
Or say nothing
You still gon be fine in my eyes
I'm still gon see you as beautiful
and erotically arousing
Wanting to touch you
Or kiss you
and taste you and fill you
Have nothing to do with me ever meeting or speaking with you
If I ask, and you say "no",
I will not ask again
But you will still be gorgeous and appealing to me
And probably to most other people fortunate enough to...

Change for you
Please tell me
What does she look like?
Is she taller?
What colour are her eyes?
Is she a big reader?
A fun partygirl?
Or more the athletic type?
She does not like you
The way that I do
I could be so much more
Just tell me what you want
Imagine my love
in her body
I would do that for you
I never liked me anyway
I don't need to stay the same
Honey, for you I would change
Maybe if you could love her
I could like her too
Always wanted to be actress
She could be my big break ...

And In the Morning
As sunlight streams through
The small spaces between the blinds
The smile begins to form in my lips
My arm curls around your hip
Will your thoughts be as mine?
That this moment
In all its stillness
And perfect brilliance
Is what you’ve been waiting for
Or will you
Be wondering how you can quietly
Slip through my arms and out my door?
The small spaces between the blinds
The smile begins to form in my lips
My arm curls around your hip
Will your thoughts be as mine?
That this moment
In all its stillness
And perfect brilliance
Is what you’ve been waiting for
Or will you
Be wondering how you can quietly
Slip through my arms and out my door?

The Half-full Jar
I could fill it up
with every empty promise
and be rich
in nothing
but but the lies
you fed me
with every empty promise
and be rich
in nothing
but but the lies
you fed me

Rekindling
Time drifts quickly,
Issuing desperation into the void.
A besom's stirring memory,
Ascends to the fore.
Reflection, stokes a flame,
That sparked long ago.
Yours, is a prod, that could ignite;
A flicker, that might engulf, into burning.
Do you recall?
Or is it mere imagination,
What almost was?
It's something I relive,
When warm winds, only arouse memories.
Memories, that invoke you,
& that cause me to think about rekindling, an old ember.
Issuing desperation into the void.
A besom's stirring memory,
Ascends to the fore.
Reflection, stokes a flame,
That sparked long ago.
Yours, is a prod, that could ignite;
A flicker, that might engulf, into burning.
Do you recall?
Or is it mere imagination,
What almost was?
It's something I relive,
When warm winds, only arouse memories.
Memories, that invoke you,
& that cause me to think about rekindling, an old ember.

LOVE IN MY ARMS (I)(original 1st draft;1976; Poretto Jetty, Galveston, Texas; struggling with being Gay at 22 yr.s old)
love in my arms
here then gone
comes and goes
like some rare moon tide
so infrequently in my life
sunrise soon brightened
into new day
but it s clarity only added to
my ever deepening
self loathing s confusions
so i chose to stay home
until the sun had gone down
as evening eventually arrived
only a comfortable disguise
then down to the beach i walked
as night s darkness soon fell upon me
out at the end of a jetty

What Was I Thinking?
i met those emerald eyes
so many years ago
yet
knew pretty quickly things
would become a shitshow
(which it was)
yet
hung on with all hope
and desperation of a
young & hopeless man
so i kept on trying
striving for better days
better times to be had
revealed the weakness
reveled in bleakness
yet
knew my time was limited
just needed an accomplice
yet ...

The Masochistic Nature of This Wanting
She is so beautiful.
It makes me want to weep.
She has the best laugh.
I want to be the one to pull them all from her.
To make her smile,
To make her cry,
To make her feel.
I want to make the empty moments just feel hollow.
She makes me want to suffer,
To hurt for her.
I want to kiss her until I forget to breathe.
I want to taste her until I taste of her.
I want to know what it means to let myself.
Let her.
Let her touch me and feel me.
To feel her and...
It makes me want to weep.

To make her cry,

I want to make the empty moments just feel hollow.
She makes me want to suffer,
To hurt for her.
I want to kiss her until I forget to breathe.
I want to taste her until I taste of her.
I want to know what it means to let myself.
Let her.
Let her touch me and feel me.
To feel her and...
