Poem: "Imprint"

"Imprint"

The alarm clock
blares loudly
it is 3 a.m.
as the light
goes out

In the dark
of the early morning
hours
while the world sleeps
desperation seethes

I sit here at my desk
in the same old chair
writing the words

that I hope will reach you

the night light

starts to flicker

as thoughts 

of you rush 

into my mind

I am a cup

waiting desperately

to be filled.

Poem: "Possession"

"Possession"

The light fades slowly
patches of sun still peek through
the open window

she looks out
up at the sky
as the clouds approach
and gentle night settles in

she longs for him
his face forever imprinted
in her mind

she reaches for his picture
on the nightstand
clutching it
close to her heart

the bed is cold and empty
without his warmth
and easy laugh

she turns away
as the loneliness creeps in
and threatens to overtake
her precious heart

somewhere
he walks in silently
into the same space
he's occupied for years

with the single bed
and cramped desk
with electric typewriter

he wishes that she knew
the desires of his heart
and what lies deep
within his soul

the phone rings
she is on the other line
he smiles to himself

and so the dance begins anew.

Poem: "Nearly Gone"

"Nearly Gone"

I think I'm falling for you, he said
it has been hours since they have talked
or seen one another, but the poor boy's heart
is so full

that he's about to burst at the seams

he walks to the desk and sits down
feverishly writing down his thoughts
on the paper
barely stopping for a breath
the words flow like running water
onto the thirsty page

she waits in silence
her heart locked away
the beauty in her eyes
masked by the pain
that haunts her still

the moment fate intervenes
and the two desperate souls
are joined together

the woman smiles
and embraces the boy
and the joy that consumes her
nearly makes his heart ache
overflowing with need and gratitude

they lie together now
underneath the stars
he holds her close
as she lays her head
on his bare chest

they look deeply
into one another's eyes
and with that first kiss
the world that they once knew apart
is now nearly gone.

Poem: "Skin"

Poem: "Skin"

You are out there
waiting in silence
moments pass
as the glitter of
neon fades

You don't know me
although we've passed
each other in public
several times

If the coward in me
would die
then you would
surely know
what I already do

Though distance keeps us apart
every time I close my eyes
we are together
you and I
in the same space

I don't have the words
in this moment with you
to feel your warmth
against my skin

Lest the demons drag me
into the mouth of hell
as heaven stares down
with divine reluctance

I'm locked away in the same room
with all these words - precious words
scattered on countless pieces of paper
across the cold wooden floor

It is night now
you slip on a short black dress
and ruby red lipstick
with your hair down

you look dangerous tonight

The anticipation is almost
ready to devour my insides
and break my fragile bones
one by one

Will you wait for me
in the fragrant shadows
longing to be noticed
aching to be touched
starving for affection

As I lie naked on the bed
moonlight illuminates my bare chest
lost in the rapture, desire beckons
the door opens slowly as you walk in

"here and now, my love
our sensual undoing,"
was the last thing you whispered

amid the tumultuous roar
of our bodies intertwined
in sweat and ecstasy

Reaching out for beautiful release.

Poem: "Closet Fuckers"

"Closet Fuckers"

Part I: SHE

I was 16
when I lost it
it hurt and it was dark
we had decided to wait
until Mom left for the night

I was a popular girl in school
every day after gym class
the boys would wait near my locker
like moths to a flame

His name was Brad
and he was big
6'3" and muscular
and he loved to show off

It happened on a Friday
under the bleachers
during football practice

He liked the my short skirt
the way it accentuated my hips
and always watched my walk
he was determined, that one was

It hurt at first with him
on top of me
raising me up
into him

I stifled a scream
I felt something gush
inside me and
my heart sank.

Part II: He

Victoria was a prude
she didn't think so
but everyone knew it
by the way she was

The way she could gaze
into the eyes of an unsuspecting guy
and turn his knees to jelly

Or whenever she walked
The way her hips swayed
back and forth
made all the guys squirm
with anticipation

She seduced a freshman
in the boy's locker room
by bending over and showing her ass
and exposing her cleavage

She backed up into him
as they went
in and out
painting the loop

Wet, sweaty
achingly lustful
screaming

The last moments, euphoric.

Poem: "Chasing In The Dark"

Poem: "Chasing In The Dark"

Part 1: Her

Her black hair glistens
as she steps out of the shower
dries herself off
and stands naked
in front of a full-length mirror

Admiring her lovely shape
subtle contours
ample breasts
pouty lips

She puts on a short black dress
that rises above the knees
that barely covers her ass
when she walks

She smiles and laughs
no one hears her
the excitement
is almost too much
as she stumbles
out the door.

Part II: She (The Lover)

Putting on her lipstick
she feels her heart pounding
like a siren into the waiting night
she pours herself a glass of wine
and sits on the couch

She lays back and closes her eyes
imagining her lover
touching her, whispering to her
"you know you want this"

The anticipation is intoxicating
as she loses herself in the moment
feeling warm
she reaches for her favorite cock
and has one last go
as she succumbs to beautiful release
the wetness all over
her aching thighs

As the doorbell starts to ring.

Poem: "Beauty's Escape"

"Beauty's Escape"

I don't know what's wrong with me, love
the hollow beating of my heart
makes me desperately long
for a quiet place
to escape

Darling, the demons
threaten to overtake
my tortured soul
there's no turning back now

If only I could see your face
to rest my head on your bare chest
to feel your breath against my neck
to kiss you until I am forever intoxicated

I fallen so far
in so deep
that I have forgotten
where I end
and you begin

The thought of you
warms my cold heart
and stirs a hunger
that I believed to be long gone

Sit with me now
my beautiful one
and allow the fires
of passion and need
guide us

So I can get lost
in the rapture and affection
that is you

Will you save me
long enough to set me free?
