Hollowed Breeze
Into your being, Aeolus blew
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.
With jealous words they chose to speak
but...
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.

The Midnight Marauder
In midnight’s quiet hour, she lies at rest, body aching unable to sleep, the air musky with desire, Cool sheets wrapped around her breast, like a snake slithering around her, coiling her and wrapping her nakedness, she moves slowly, sensually feeling the soft fabric tickle her skin drifting in and out of sleep.
The room is still, no breeze to stir, quiet enough to hear the clock beating , tick tock tick tock, O how she loves the sound of a big clock beating, but unaware something wicked draws to her.
A daring thief comes through her window, his hunger for her...

Miss understood (Part 1)

not everyone comprehends innuendo [ here ]
In hindsight I wrote intuition in [ frustration ]

Don’t just listen for How in my [ words ]

I don’t speak circles to [ entertain ]
I speak in Braille for the [ gleaning ]

My Online Residence
My address was once a patch of land,
Where roots took hold and walls could stand.
But now my life is stored in the cloud,
A virtual home, where shadows crowd.
To reach this space where my memories dwell,
I need a device, a screen, to tell.
A laptop, a tablet, or phone in hand,
Each portal a route to this foreign land.
Yet first, I must find a connection to flow
Without the internet, where can I go?
Wi-Fi or data, my lifeline to view,
But every signal feels fragile and few.
I pay for this storage, this home in the...

Uncertainty of What’s Real
I wake up to the aching, a dull, relentless throb,
Is it the pain that’s real, or just my mind’s cruel job?
Each pulse, each sharp reminder, it grips me from within,
But is it truth I’m feeling, or just the place I’ve been?
The bottle sits beside me, its answers clear and close,
But every time I reach for it, I wonder if I’m lost.
Is this the hurt I think it is, or just another game?
I’ve danced this line so many times, I'm starting to forget my name.
The pain, it feels like fire, but am I fanning flames?
Or am I...

What would it take ???
THE TREE OF YOUR LIFE as we exchange thoughts on this message of tranquility and peace. FOR what would it mean to you, to be in a real relationship. That has the same intelligence of sense of someone, who believes as you truly want to believe. Has the same common mindset and the deepness will to have, a sense of the meaning of commitment and support of consistency. TO be able to weather the deepness of the storms, thru high winds and thunder and lighting. THAT will affect the very foundation of your own lives, especially your own thoughts and feelings and emotions. But Yet not let your...

DUP Mafia Romance part 4 (all star cast)
Prometheus
I hate going into crowded places, but I love getting paid. Once I deliver this message, it will be worth a sizable amount. Frank, I have to approach him very carefully. From my understanding, his temperament has gotten a little bit out of pocket.
When it comes to business, I never go in through the front door. I gave the customary nod to the guard standing there and told him, " Tell Frank, the messenger is here.”
The guard knew precisely who I was the minute I gave that message. I stood out there no less than two minutes...

When my mind starts to talk
Within a dark fortress, guarded by the damned, he lies in waiting. He’s watching my every move, I
hear his every word. I can’t hide from him, nor can I run. Because the dark fortress where he
reside is within my own mind, A fortress surrounded by prisons made of memories and
madness. Everywhere I turn I stumble and fall because of my own ignorance. I tried to ignore, I
tried to make it right. But you denied me, You tried to bury me as far and as deep as you could.
But to no avail. I bided my time, watched you wither away within your world of sorrow and...

A few days before the fall, and it's already chilling, the sun too much shy, blinking pallid winks to my eye; it's fading heat, showing a morose, pale appearance. i know autumn will surely make me sickly melancholic, as usual, listening to that slowly, sadly dropping rain from the gutter, like a sad sonata of autumn, tripping silently along the lane, and its evening will even send my thoughts wandering in an unlived past....

LOVE IN MY ARMS (II)-(1976, Poretto Jetty, Galveston Island, Texas; on a dark night of struggling with my being Gay.)
love in my arms
here then gone
so rarely comes
but when it does
like some rare moon tide
and seems to be true and real
each new time around
it also seems
to almost always go away
as quickly as it comes
then just a short while later
after waking from my sleep s
already forgotten
meandering dreams
i got up to begin another new day

Broken Heartbeats
Treacherous is treading upon dark waters that run deep.
Clandestine currents, privy of depths...
spinning the blender funnel
A dog paddle of survival of the loyal kind.
For eyes lie & love is blind. ...
