Descent
Then I fall and stumble
and I get back on my feet
as if things had wings
and support me in the air
and the lungs were so full
that I could no longer breathe.
A scream runs through the veins
and takes the ghosts with him
to the open gates of hell,
where the many-headed dog awaits his pay.
All my skin trembles under the itching
of unknown desires left on the floor
or floating in gusts of wind.
Discontented, distraught and obscure

the unveiling
my soul a wild sapphire it burns bright in the light
it dazzles the eye, confounds the mind
then in the shade of your doubt, it's just a rock
dances freely while reaching for you
you're not to be found
I bedazzled you, then let you down
but I ask you to look closer
at my reflective surfaces
you will see deep undercurrents of beauty
the sex of me is thrilling but it won't keep you
you desire the truth in me
the truth is the wisdom of me is hidden
for those who would patiently wait on the unveiling
it won't be...

Would She?
I would like to know her
Like..really know her..not just know of her
Before I make love to her
To the enigmatic She
Learn to appreciate her journey
Then take the precious time it would naturally take
To get her into a space
An area of genuineness and connectivity
Where she'd be willing
To let me taste her silky nuance
Go down on her and
Crown her clitoris queen of my night
Hmmm
She is glorious mystique ...

It doesn't add up!
There's a topsy-turvy place
where time runs backwards,
numbers aren't what they seem;
logical rules apply,
but not the logic we're used to.
There's a wonderful place
where I've just aged backwards
because forty-seven is less than forty-six.
Nothing is something,
zero is bigger than one million,
yet the best gift
turns out to be worthless.
In this place,
women are valued more highly than men,
but children are valued most of all.
The greatest rewards
come from working with those that seem,
on first...

Right Now
What am I left with?
A semaphore signal I don’t understand
some counter-force operating underhand
and a rocky faith
which keeps trying to tell me
“all is well”.
How can people be so damn sure?
I draw an open blank
and say “maybe … maybe not” ...
Clinging to my cup of coffee
I take a deep breath
and think “right now, this is what I’ve got”.

Mata Furry
On a Spring day,
five years ago,
I heard a loud knocking at my front door.
Approaching to answer,
I heard a faint scratching.
First checking the peep hole,
I saw not a soul.
Then the bell rang.
Carefully, with trepidation,
I opened to see
a pure white bunny staring up at me.
Irresistibly adorable I let the little guy in.
Barely crossing our threshold,
the creature hopped
to our den
as if on a mission.
I said, “well aren't you bold” and...

Proceed with caution
I wish you could stop falling for me
Stop falling for my vulnerability
For my innocent face
The dimples at the corner of my smile
For my flaws
For the words I stutter upon
For my imagination that builds castles in the air,
The things that I hide and you seek to uncover
All the walls I surround myself with and you seek to pass through
How I just seem just one chip away from being perfect
I wish you didn't see this
And part of you didn't want to save me from myself.
I wish you didn't care,
I wish you were not so...
Stop falling for my vulnerability
For my innocent face
The dimples at the corner of my smile
For my flaws
For the words I stutter upon
For my imagination that builds castles in the air,
The things that I hide and you seek to uncover

How I just seem just one chip away from being perfect
I wish you didn't see this
And part of you didn't want to save me from myself.
I wish you didn't care,

Odyssey
it was the odyssey of your soul
that began with the questing of fingertips
tempting the folds of your paradise
with my lurking intrigue
i make love to you one digit at a time
each waiting its turn with respectful patience
to engage the mystic vortex swirling
between your legs
they circle
your imaginative and instinctual self
your breathing cues my touch
i can feel your womanhood on the rise
hips suggesting i sink in just...

A Mystery Exposed Silently
The things she keeps secret
Are more telling than her reveals
For in every silent moment
Bleed the spills that she conceals
Deep auburn stains betray her passions scent
Drifting through the night air while she qietly slept
Holding tight to her pale bedroom glow
That smolders 'neath her evaporating flow
She feels in dark shadows she cannot show to me
So long their tentacles will never set her free
Cast from her distant rising red sun
Encasing a bright future in a lonely dunn
I wonder if she will expose to my starved...

Drifting through the night air while she qietly slept

So long their tentacles will never set her free

Encasing a bright future in a lonely dunn
I wonder if she will expose to my starved...

WITHIN THE DARKNESS
Here I am still in the process of what night feels like, standing in the very abyss a room with only one way in and one way out. But yet still I remain in a trance staring, into the pits of the illusions that now has invaded my mind, seeking to get into my thoughts and emotions and feelings. Yet I am unafraid to face my fears of the unknown, that hides in the shadows of the illusions of night for I am not alone, in this world of the darkness as there is a light...a Halo over me shinning it's light down on my journey and travel and walk through the DARKNESS.
