Poem: "The Trouble With No"

"The Trouble With No"

The door swings open
as you leave
for the last time
as memory starts to fade
I hear the birds outside
chirping mournfully

Your cup of coffee
sits untouched on the counter
the morning paper
on the table unread

Last night
with you
was incredible

You decided
to wear a low cut top
and your favorite jeans
with your hair down

We went out to the park
and sat under the sky
we talked of the future
and watched the stars
as they faded and streaked
across the face of night

You took my hand
and whispered softly
of your desires and dreams
as we kissed over and over
our bodies pressed up against
one another

We went home
later that night
and you slipped
into something
more comfortable

The lights turned down low
you kissed me once
I turned away
trying to fight you off

But you wrapped your arms
around my waist and
pulled me onto you
and, before I could protest
you kissed me hard
and gazed with those
perfect eyes

And the rest
was enraptured
in sweet surrender.

Poem: "Right Here, Now"

"Right Here, Now"

Alone
in front of this blinking
screen
staring at blank white
waiting for the words
to come

The room is empty
the bed is cold
everything is different
without your love
to fill my lonely spaces

I close my eyes
and imagine you
right here, now
and in that moment
we're together again

I touch your face
we lean in closer
I feel your breath
on my neck

As we kiss
the world stops
for an instant
my heart spins

I hear you
whispering
in my ear

I need you
I want you
please stay awhile
because you
and only you
make me whole

As our bodies meet
at the mutual intersection
as I lay against you
the heat rises

A moan escapes
as your legs part open
and the rhythm of our
sensual interlude
threatens to overtake us

I need you
I ache for you
I want you so badly
I can taste it

You are the night sky
and all the glittering stars

You are the sun
that shines brightly

You are my whole world
and forever will be.
