On the Monday train Sunday’s tear stained aftermath is muted, faded watercolor sketch of last night’s confusion and misery – with photo slides behind closed eyes of family’s autumn life celebration, Daniel’s text exchanges, Brandon Lee Gameboy photo, unseen moron homophobe hell discussion…
And Aaron’s weeping exhaustion which left me reeling in confusion, doubt, anger & regret.
Returning to trains and to thoughts left behind; enduring these pains as existence rewinds with smiles anew for the lust and the yearning that keeps me alive… that keeps me returning with Aaron a GO and possibly Michael – I’m questioning content of sodomy cycle: “This one is solid!” while “This one is pointless!”, “This one is squalid…” Til one is appointed worthy of probing for one of my station: a worthy disrobing for self-excavation; worthy of one’s progression through sex; worthy of love through expression of flesh.
He wandered into my life on the arm of my lover, set up shop for the night, & “borrowed” my property.
Most of that night was a game and honestly, a blur… but the kiss in the kitchen was real and brought everything into focus, if not into the light.
This night’s passion wasn’t meant for me, so the unexpected connection was many conflicting things: Excitement. Exhilaration. Shame. Damnation. None of which I was prepared for.
He ate my ass like a pro.
His cock was delicious, in my mouth and then deeper inside me.
He ravaged me while my lover looked on and I loved it but I felt somewhat guilty, which I may have loved even more… or perhaps my guilt prevented me from enjoying it completely?
It must seem strange that I cannot honestly tell the difference.
But certain key details of lust are maddeningly lost on me.
There are certainly hints and subtle gestures; implications and libidinous clues, suggestions of an elusive contradictory nature… pieces of a puzzle I wish only to solve so that I might grasp the meaning held within a finished and rapturious whole… and yet I’m somehow trapped within this self same labyrinth of intimations which feeds the fire while slaking my thirst, yet leaves me hungry just the same.
There was a danger there; a gamble… I was risking something sacred for the sake of something perverse, if only symbolically.
He hit all the right spots, but in a configuration hitherto unknown to me.
My deepest desires were completely inverted during this encounter and all the conversations that followed.
This isn’t my lover’s fantasy. It’s not even mine. It’s some mirror perverted version and yet at the root of it all… it is completely the same for me, which confuses even as it thrills.
In my mind I am smaller than I appear, and he ravages my lover in depths that I cannot reach, and I am finished far too soon, before I’m undressed, which has never happened (and never will happen) because that is not who I am.
“Yeah? You need my load again?” “My cock hits places his doesn’t?” “You craving it, boy?” “You craving it?”
My fantasies are mine and not my lover’s, and though this man says the words that I long to hear he is saying them into the wrong ears, because he cannot know that what he has seen and what he has interpreted as desire, is actually reality’s cruel deception.
A trick of fate that pollutes my existence, a caustic jocularity with an outlandish punchline that I have endured and sought to diminish through fantasy and honest communication; and yet it remains a vicious mockery of all that I wish I could be – a killing joke which has unknowingly to some, made fools and victims of us all.
The whore used to make friends by sleeping with them, and though his behavior has changed overtime, the impulse has stayed with him.
The young blond angel asks this attention seeking whore if he had to work for his blistering wit or if it’s simply the product of his inbred white-trash genetics?
“I got it from my sister.” I reply, which doesn’t necessarily answer the angel’s question.
I enjoy the way he sounds as he asks me and I struggle not to sexualize him (with some limited success), though I inevitably sexualize everything, don’t I?
He seems both exceptionally strong and remarkably fragile, but I find this contrast charming and disarming, and find myself feeling protective, encouraging, and blessed every time the angel’s eyes meet mine.
I know I’ll struggle with sharing this with him.
Will my honesty damn a budding friendship?
It wouldn’t be the first time.
And if that’s a possibility should I now bite my tongue for fear of hurting us and by extension, my lover and partner in all things?
I’m probably overthinking this.
This is stupid.
I know that Aaron will not be bothered, and I’m keenly aware that my lust is just an ever present companion, an innocent natural type of curious exploration and my invisible personal passageway to kinship.
Everyone knows such consummation is unlikely at best; a friendship perverted by unholy unions might make for provocative fantasy but let’s get real:
One seldom encounters angels in the gutters of my mind.
beneath the surface where we could not see one another through that reflective prismatic membrane… down beneath waves in an ocean of time.
Our meeting was not the frothy crash one might expect between two long separate bodies; more a subtle swallowing
of pride, an exceptional chance encounter between worlds, between men, emptied and refilled and accepted – we drank each other down.
you are my sustenance
you have long nourished my soul in a calming deluge of possibility, a commingling of creation and interpretation – your intoxicating mixture of unspeakable talent with benevolent decency, such rare treasure
is my honor and privilege to behold and to bathe in, to witness all that lies beneath
all that others seldom see.
How could anyone observe such strength and such frailty, such passion –
Who could spy such longing and not find themselves quickened?
Such stimulation can rob mortal men of decisional capacity.
I had no choice but to love you, you see…
And yet I find that I decided all the same.
I chose to embrace the experience of you, to appreciate it for what it was and what you were, I opted to be vulnerable and to be strong, and then finally I agreed to follow that untrodden path wherever it might lead.
You are the decision that has changed my life forever.
You are the choice that I made that I have never regretted.
Before it began, something was wrong and we didn’t (couldn’t?) see it.
I wasn’t in the mood. He wasn’t feeling it. This possible malignancy… This possibly unexplored unreal territory, This possibly unexposed notional strife… was like a DANGER sign that was somehow misread as STILL SLIPPERY WHEN WET – an honest, if possibly fatal mistake.
It’s difficult to differentiate where I end and he begins, between what is wrong with us and what is wrong with me… but perhaps the two are not the same; perhaps we two are not as one.
Months ago… (I really should have kept track) in the moments before usual masturbatory apex, unreconciled paste spills upon perplexed fingers absent blissful climax rush; the poorly mixed paint lubricates and froths, gushing forward some 30 guesstimated seconds before still stroking right hand leads me to delayed yet not unpleasant orgasmic sensations.
What the fuck had just happened? I still don’t know for sure…. But when it didn’t happen again I imagined it a fluke… until it wasn’t.
I told him and he later experienced it fourth hand.
28 days x 6 months, minus whatever it is to make it 160 is my guess for how many times I’ve ejaculated since the beginning.
Five aberrant orgasms with no discernable pattern… but I speak to urology office shortly before the sixth occurrence.
That was a few hours ago.
In the shower, as I washed away all evidence of any malady, I imagined him leaving me after his retreat and choosing to keep my completely imagined cancer diagnosis from him so as not to blackmail him, so as not to keep him tethered to me against his will out of shame or pity, or some maligned commingling of the two.
I’ve not been diagnosed with anything, but it’s the dream image that is the first moment in which I feel actual fear in regard to my (or our possibly) undiagnosed condition.
It is in that first moment of fear that I imagine him leaving me, emotionally as well as physically, in which I am finally able to see us as two separate beings; the division of cells, the division of selves, until all are finally set free.
