Sabbatical

Secrets they’re uttering…
sound of sweet suffering;
lies so seductive
that saints die to tell them.

The sightless observers
listen to murmurs
of priests spreading rumors
that they might dispel them.

A riddle so simple
it makes your skin tingle;
symbols are sinful
for they hide the truth…

And beasts that still plague us
are priests begging nakedness;
a feast for his holiness
who only eats youth.

Bemusement

make the muse leave
return here tomorrow
sleep beneath seas
or on Kilimanjaro
sleep among stars
or men who are nude
don’t let the muse
prevent or intrude
into what gives you strength
and what calms your screams
your muse will return
inspired by dreams

Others Required

Afraid of desire
admitted and costly,

Albeit in whispers
of words spoken softly,

Enacted in moments
of uncertain pleasure,

Confused by reactions
of others unfettered,

By reason or choice
by manipulation,

To play the long game
I must not be impatient,

Yet I want it all
and I want it all now,

I must lay claim
to all I’ve disavowed.
