always, always

i wonder if you know
how many nights i dream of you
how many times i pick up the phone
only to put it back down
again
the mornings i rise and think of you
knowing i can’t get through the day
without some kind of contact
taking what i can get and always
always
wanting more
how many sleepless nights
i hold in my hands
that tiny [...]

alive

will you hold me
not so sweet and gently
hold me hard
like you mean it
remove all doubt
about who the boss is here
be my strength
my rock
protect me
shelter me
teach me
as you take control
reveal my submission
wipe my tears
with the heal of your hand
kiss my mouth
like you want to devour me
devour me
like you want to own me
make me feel
like a wanted [...]

Do no harm

After all this time
It lies there
Hidden still
But awake
And alive
I cannot beat it
Cannot cut it off
Or starve it out
Given only a little hope
It springs to life
And takes control
Like a child
It must be guided
Taught to nourish
Encourged to expand
And in all things
Do no harm

Dead and dying

Why do you run
So far and so fast
I reach out
Take your hand
you linger
For a broken moment
Amoung the dead
and dying grass
Then run too fast
To far away
To see the tender
Of spring green
Pushing toward the sun
Your hand slips
And you vanish somewhere
Behind the garden wall
I am nothing to fear
I cry
Only here to love
Dear friend
Confused I wonder
If you fear your [...]

a shrug and a smile

as she spoke of mundane things
her eyes sparkled
and i watched them dance
bright, bright points of light
hypnotizing, mezmerizing
dancing in the pale gloaming
as though sunrise were upon us
instead of a dying day
dragging away my own eyes
sparing myself maybe
of falling in love again
i fell again
to her lips
each word spoken
a whisper in my ear
what she said
as i watched them [...]

for Cat

a piece of her here
a piece of her there
love oh love she does
both one and the other
blinded by grace
to hurt no one
how long will her heart
be torn thus
one way
and the other
when will she find joy
in greaving one
and loving the other
Happy Birthday Cat!

passionately

why can’t i
turn and face you
caress your cheek
slide my fingers
into your hair
pull you into me
and kiss you
tentatively
gently
firmly
passionately
breathlessly

rain

standing under leaden clouds
you pour over me
leaving gentle traces
across my skin
like a lover you enfold
envelope
filling the void
of dust and drought
tears of joy
mix with your essence
and stream down my face
soaked and sodden
naked and alive
trees surrounding 
an open glade
bringing fresh the odors
of earth and green
i stand alone
accepting your grace
submitting my offering
of sensual flesh
as the gods pour forth
in rain

winters hold
it doesn’t snow here anymore
but the ice has destroyed
