Young love began innocently.
Butterflies, giggles, and hope.
It was wrapped up in newness.
When those things faded away
and that love was gone
I looked for other things.
Security, stability, longevity. . . . more

If you offer your soul i will take it and make a deal with some god.
If some god you offer, i will kneel before and pray.
If some prayer you give, then let it be sweet and bring me absolution.
If absolution . . . more

It is all about anticipation.
About opposite-end thumb-twiddling,
your fingers spinning quick circles and how the mind spins
quick circles around the last time we were together.
Now, holding both hands, . . . more

Who is this fair interloper?
This auburn-haired minx of whom you now speak?
Delicate, fine-boned, petite - why we are not so different, except
I dream her bovine-brown eyes, watching me they . . . more

Throbbing Dragonfly
Would you move me gentle, smooth?
Row us down the river past the lush-rush grassy banks
down the serpentine jewel, a floor of green that sparkles emerald in the . . . more

You tell me you are stuck
How that quicksand pulls and sucks your fine bird-bone ankles.
Rage against the dying of the ...
the ground contrives to swallow you more.
That seamless cast . . . more

How fast you spin that silk web
cocooning fast your solitude -
xylophanes titan, my dark butterfly
spinning, spinning, spinning,
your private subterranean homesick blues,
you struggle against . . . more

Such things I would do ~
overcome this shyness in a moment
To show my true trust
there is nothing I would not be
to keep this love, I dip, I dive
a line, straight to you, strong vector.
Do you find your . . . more

It is a Morse Code dash.
A ribbon, pale-grey line,
simple and flat, screaming yet alarmingly soundless.
These vacant hollow hours ~
Empty of your laugh, your voice, your breath;
still, I keep my ear primed; . . . more

A LOVER’S CONFESSION
No loyal love has never been there for me
Nor known me well or stayed long under my spell
But you did feed my love till I was fully blessed
You have stayed with me to . . . more

Even that, Fabrizio’s would have recorded.
Florinda’s real love, documenting her all-too human condition,
Florinda standing in the glass anteroom of the museum,
breasts straining against the . . . more

There are a thousand reasons against -
On my knees I hear about such deadly sin - the details of which I know,
then penitence, forgiveness - how does one measure apology?
Whose thin or thick caliper . . . more

It is just a question of time before...
our cadence will meet as we walk fall into sync,
to pentameter, iambic (of course), before we
share the same scented tea from same pot (same kind)
before we . . . more

God, I am so tired of writing you, of wanting you.
It is boring even me.
I am weary of the way you stitch in and out of my dreams,
wending your way down the chalked alleys of Israel, always that step . . . more

Perhaps I should have kept it, held it as I hold you –
close, closer, a close secret to my breast.
Things felt when we walked up the hill sides-hands bumping
I caught the sublime scent of you for . . . more

Pythagorus knew it well.
The Golden Ratio – Euclid too –
The algebraics behind that true rare beauty
our proportional relationships of lines a and b
a/b = (a + b)/a – the decimal 1.1618 . . . more

THE TRIFLES OF AFFECTIONS
In the puff of your breath
the delicate plume of life is expressed
A flush of happiness
rushing the loneliness from my face
Our body yearnings muted
Sated with . . . more

THE THICKNESS OF THE NIGHT
The thickness of the night will drape the sunset down
Will take her vivid colors low to have a way and wish
She lay there in full repose in the thickness of the night . . . more

I thought I was tougher than to cry over
being called a name. Haven't the years
hardened this heart, once so fragile? I
remember how I . . . more

I lock myself away, fill my space with white noise
to avoid the rantings of you;
A caged bird with no escape, I hide.
Peace and calm call to me,
elude me in the presence of you;
Your words beat me . . . more
