Black Lake

Aching for him in
cyber-hereafter,
Waiting is cruel when
aroused by his laughter,
Innocence twisted
to meet my demands,
My lover handled
by innocent hands
committing a crime
of passion and craving,
He thinks that he kills me
but my life he’s saving,
It’s my lust that drives him
and corners him here,
He has no idea
that I’m not sincere,
He thinks me a victim
or thinks me a fool,
He’s only a pawn
providing me fuel
to achieve the experience
of realized fantasy…
Transcending world
through beautiful tragedy.

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.

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.

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.

For Jennifer

Explosive Attraction

Reduced to a shadow
in land filled with monsters,

Waiting in lines
snorted daily by bombers,

Who burn as they smile
for virgins expected,

A practice for final
performance reflected,

In eyes of those monsters
who actually greet them,

They don’t know the horrors
that rush up to meet them.

Seventh Drowning

Don’t stop for strangers;
they’re likely fish women,

The sex and the dangers
are strictly forbidden,

The songs and the smells
lead always to madness,

And she that was wanted
will leave your soul haunted…

Will leave and then cleave you in two
through your sadness.

Jam

Words slip and powder
the life behind left me,

Blood staining snow
as my essence is set free,

The stories unplanned
as they rush to the pages,

Lyrics of carols
unbound here in stages,

Which might not be perfect
but what truly is?

We do what we can
when we seek to exist.

The Aarons

Waiting an hour
for line to die down,

Waiting for queens
to swallow my crown,

Nervous awareness
of people beside me,

The Aarons are rude
and can’t be inside me,

The Aarons are restless
inside of my pants,

The Aarons are separate
in this circumstance,

Each Aaron’s schedule
is packed and excited,

Yet sadly their plans
may keep us divided.
