I don’t
I do not want
your path
to be tied to mine
I do not covet a ring
I do not need
To be your next bride
Nor do i want to be
one of your exes
I will not bribe
you to stay
Or look
for the nearest exit
I like our freedom
I’m not looking
for the next fling
And no, I am not a feminist
Looking for her equal
I believe in the differences
between the sexes
In fact
a man’s touch
has no match
It can leave you intact ...
your path
to be tied to mine
I do not covet a ring
I do not need
To be your next bride
Nor do i want to be
one of your exes
I will not bribe
you to stay
Or look
for the nearest exit
I like our freedom
I’m not looking
for the next fling
And no, I am not a feminist
Looking for her equal
I believe in the differences
between the sexes
In fact
a man’s touch
has no match
It can leave you intact ...

Moonlit Rationale
In the moonlit haze, the argument unfolds,
Their words like daggers, stories untold.
He sneers with disdain, his voice like a knife,
"Pussy and mouth are all you've got in this life."
She fires back, eyes fierce and bright,
Her sharp retorts cut through the night.
"You think you're a god in the bedroom’s light?
Let’s break it down, expose your plight."
Missionary, he thinks he’s grand,
But his weight is too much, hard to stand.
He grunts and sweats, believing he's strong,
But she just lies there, praying...

Falling for you is like a zip line over Niagara
It was fucking pouring
when I stepped up
to the Niagara Falls zipline,
200 feet in the air.
But there was no lighting
so the ride was open
with a short,
short line
and I felt
like flying
The kid in braces
locked my carabiners
to the doo-hickey that would
hopefully hold my wet ass
in the air for the
next 60 seconds
and he told me to lean back
into the harness
and starfish
Fuck? What? Say what?

Four words on a game show
BABY, _ NEED YO_
Clue: four word phrase that articulates desire
I spun the wheel
as hard as I could
hoping for a fate change
in the snick, snick, snick
of the spinner bars,
and felt a cold stab
of fear
and disappointment
when the wheel slowed
and the bankrupt wedge
inched closer
you stood in a display case
with a tag
filled with adjectives
that made me ache
I didn’t know
how much
I wanted
to win
until I realized
I probably wasn’t ...

A Suicide Poem
I wish she could see me,
maybe ten years prior to now.
Walking down strange streets
with almost strangers
like nothing less than a king.
Wanting eyes
bouncing off the surface
of one another.
We didnt care where we were going,
but we always knew where we’d end up
or some other cliche like that.
In a sense, I was taking on the world,
and with every small battle
there would be someone there
lusting after me
as much as I lusted after them,
(A man can do whatever he sets his mind to

Bryce
Bryce's favorite color is green. Do not even think of implying that green is a Crayola eight pack color. Bryce knows dozens of shades and hues -hundreds- ranging from emerald to chartreuse, with responses to them ranging from wincing in distaste (deep teal) to taciturn approval (pistachio).
Bryce likes to think he isn't picky. Didn't he microwave a leftover Whopper last night and enjoy it just fine? Yes, he did. But color is fundamental to his wellbeing. Bryce harbors no compunction over breaking up with Lisa. Beautiful, brilliant Lisa who knew her oak furniture and...

The Sickening Couple
Luke Atmyass was found beating a sick small animal to death when he was 6 years old
That year Stella Virgin was born to a pair of drunks
By the time he was 12, Luke had caught the cold that would never leave him
As a child Stella already had thick ankles, a hunched back and thin hair
After leaving school, Luke went to work in a libraries office and stole reference books whenever he had the chance
Stella was employed behind the jewelry counter in a five & dime
She would amuse herself by loosening settings with a nail file so the stones would fall out,...

Hire Lernin' (A Novel) - Chapter 3 - Good News
The phone rang at 9:00 a.m. the next morning as Dan was having his third cup of coffee and thinking about the prior day’s interview. He picked it up on the second ring, his heart racing, yet knowing that it could not yet be the expected phone call. “Dan speaking” he said, trying to remain calm.
“Is this Mr. Amor?” A woman’s cheerful voice asked.
“Yes it is” He responded.
“Please hold for Mr. Lantz.” After a few seconds, a familiar voice came on the line. “Good morning, Dan. I have some good news. We’d like to offer you the academic dean position starting...

We're Happy and In Love
Tomorrow is a special day for my girlfriend & I. We're celebrating our one year anniversary without him. You may ask who is him, well him was my girlfriends ex-boyfriend who couldn't accept the fact that her & I were madly in love.
What led up to June 18th being our one year anniversary is a tragedy for him, not us. At one point after New Years, she decided to break it off with him. There were issues that were typical for a boyfriend & girlfriend. Jealousy, poor communication and affairs. He had other girl friends and would deny he cheated on her numerous times. A few...
