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.

Busy

In dreams we’re together
in all ways imagined…

A still life that’s painted
in all shades of passion…

When awake we are separate
and it’s not enough…

Unable to talk, to touch
or to fuck…

We share the same space
yet we aren’t complete…

And we cling to each other
at night when we sleep.

For Aaron

Jennifer’s Birthday

When I met her: CONNECTION
and desperate to know her,

Began with a dance
although I was unsure
that all that I wanted
was right or was natural…

It felt like the truth
but wasn’t quite factual,

It wasn’t quite candid
and yet it was honest,

Can’t be admonished
for loving a Goddess,

Not quite confusion;
more a puzzle unsolved,

Perhaps it was foolish
and should not be absolved,

Yet we were as children
in a world without structure,

Decades of growth
and change in our culture,

Time heals all wounds
and while we’ve matured…

Twenty-two years
and I’m still writing for her.
