Simon’s Truth

When man disappears
and returns as another…
Remember his name
as if he were your lover…
For names hold more meaning
than Juliet queried…
The essence is dense
despite Vampire Theory…
And he deserves better
than a name that’s not his…
Worth more than a score
for his compliment kiss…
And now that I’ve met him
I’ll always remember…
At least long enough
to survive this December.

For Jon

This Diabolical Drama

I’m sitting right across from you
when you tell me how much you want to hurt me,
how much it will pleasure you to humiliate me,
how much you want to take what is mine,
use it for your own gain,
and leave me to wander
cluelessly,
ashamed and defeated.

I’m sitting right across from you
but what you don’t see
is that I’m not the man you thought I was,
and all your schemes were mine
before they were yours.

You think he’s sitting right across from you
but I’ve taken his place
and the words that were meant for him;
the words meant to conquer me
and raise you up have given me the greatest satisfaction
I can imagine.

I am afraid,
but it is the fear of an entertainer
about to take to the stage
where my most impressive performance
(which I’ve trained for my entire life)
is about to begin at last.

You are a liar and a manipulator.
You are hurtful and obscene.
But I am something you could not see coming.
And though you wish to hurt me
I thank you from behind my disguise
for you too have an integral role to play.

You, with the help of my co-conspirator,
will push me beyond those boundaries
I have never dared to traverse,
even though the core of who I am
has always ached to cross that line.

And in that gleaming treacherous climax
where all masks lead to the truth,
we will be transformed…

And you, in plotting my downfall,
will bring me to my utter salvation.

Aggressive Regression

A childhood nursery fantasy
has become an obsession of late.

Everyday I become someone else that I love
so that I can have some hope of witnessing
what was once deemed impossible.

Love & trust make this elixir attainable
but I’m driven completely by sex: a walking hardon.

Always a sexual creature…

Always willing and able
to gladly explore any kink
that struck my fancy…

Those demons were expunged upon arrival.

All but this impossibly complicated
riddle of a contradiction.

This place is beyond anywhere
I’ve ever willingly been.

This unexplored erotic nightmare of flesh is:
urgent, vital, joyous at finally receiving my attention.

This dream cocaine has made me into a liar,
an enthusiastic victim,
a nearly celibate slut
who yearns for desolation…
a chance at reconnection with
that hardly humiliated farm boy in
those locker room communal showers.

As a child I held such unfulfilled desires
but put them to bed (where I have now joined them).

By assuring him that everything is
and always will be okay,
I have traveled full circle –
returning through time to bless his lust,
circumvent shame,
encourage exploration,
and guiding him to disregard their influence;
to tame the monsters that would otherwise haunt him
until the day that he once again completed this paradox puzzle.

Sleepless Musings

Ride
inside me
Drive
deprive me
Tease
Reprise me
Please
Believe me!

Short and sweet
(yet incomplete)
the rhythm changes
(rearranges)
as words estrange…
I’m so deranged.

These words portray
a troubled mind
bored to play
in doubled blind
in senseless drivel
wrong and deep
endless sibilant
song of sleep.

Meaning < More

Bleak sin plantation
of bitterness bleach.

Darken my eyes
and study my lips.

Speak incantation
of gibberish speech.

Pardon my thighs
and bloody my bitch.

Night I decided was
night never chosen.

Blood suck syringe
pause rejoice afraid.

Sight that divided applause
never spoken.

And fucking the fringe
was a choice never made.

Watching the Game

I see him undressing
through counting of sheep.

I see him caressing
around where I sleep.

I breathe in his secret
as you play the game.

I witness my weakness
for lust laced with shame.

This dream leaves me broken
though roused when it beckons.

I dream of these moments
more often than seconds.

Prayer of the Post Traumatic

Hearing disappointment which matches
THE SICKNESS INSIDE ME
threatening to overtake me.

Breathe.

The train is already departing one six eight;
perhaps this panic is for nothing?

Why do the only loud people
in the car gravitate toward me?

Hungry. Terrified and hungry.
Some things never change…
but I can.

Relax. Breathe.

He cannot hurt me here.
She is safe.
And I will eat before long.

If the show has begun
I will eat without fear
and rest,
knowing I’ve seen this particular show
three times before,
and I will be there for Aaron
without compromising
sanity or the denial of self.

If I make it there in time I will be
collected and calm. I will take in
this special show with
no need of regret
for I have controlled my fear
and done my best to travel
especially on the
fucked up weekend transit.

Now relax. Breathe / Ground,
and be the Jason that you want to be.

Fragments of Ryan: Savannah Interrupted

He’s uniquely shaped
like a patchwork of flesh…

Like Frankenstein’s monster
and love coalesced…

With a talent so bare
and a mood so enlightening,

A mixture so rare
that his beauty is frightening.

An eyes glazed insurgent
who’s wanted and lost…

With lazy gaze urgent;
still haunted by cost…

Who writes and performs
on a stage made of pain…

The ache in his eyes
borders on the insane.

And his music jingled
by others was lovely…

Though form never mingled;
if so it was roughly…

In show strung together;
so blissfully jumbled…

The best of intentions
by those that he’s humbled…

His powerful art
in a story so sparse…

Less than the sum
of it’s excellent parts.

For Ryan

SSSSSHHHHHhhhhh…..

These rambling skeletal nothings
prepare a Shakespeare on the Rocks
that will put you to sleep
faster than arsenic, absinthe, abstinence or Nyquil.

These holes where people once stood
are empty by choice:
“It makes for a better tango partner.” she twitters
as she looks at your palm,
smashes a fortune cookie
and calls it psychoanalysis.

These prickly amusements
are friendly Goddess daughters
when we smile and laugh and congratulate,
but let your drowsy mind betray the truth
and see them bare their fangs
to rip your throated poetry to shreds.

Unless of course you’re doing something
which requires respect or silence…
because then they’ll be making
far too much noise to have noticed.

Romeo Troye: The Company of Trains

You feel younger
walking hand in hand
with new Christmas decorations
and ice cream fizzle;
turn the music up
but can’t block him out:
I might as well be at home…
this isn’t bad.

Keep it going.
(((((((SPIN)))))))
And out.

She is smiling
through raindrop curtain of music
like drug song.

“Drugs are quick.”

He is gay, young, not my type (w/ extra E),
but I support his artistry
singing in my ears on the train;
this Aaron reading Trek…

“Leave”
with sudden stop in crowded car.

“Driving me wild”
with sadness tremble of wanting
but not quite having.

Taste of man sitting next to me.
Fantasy haunts us.
He knows my thoughts (cuckold mind-meld):
a brave fool to play this game.

End this
to collapse into memory song
of stranger friend…

“No One Knows How It Will End.”

Movie quotes are an invasive comfort
and lonely with no one to recognize them.

Kiss him. Kiss him.

Let him recognize me.
