you arrive in disguise,
no longer vague,
your nakedness lost in
a sweep of black.
your honesty rips me
out of my head
and when i snap back,
if I could breathe,
i would scream your name.
i want . . . more

Your world caves in
Around you
Within you
The pain too palpable
To face
To fight
Embracing the dark
Surrendering
Relenting
Blind to those
Who love
Who care
And bring you light
To give . . . more

I press the memory of you
against my creased brow,
leaving a shadow stain
that will not fade.
I spread the essence of you
across my skin
recalling simplicity
of desire and flight.

I lie alone, eyes wide
body crumbling beneath the weight
of imagined demons
You cross forgotten deserts
scorched deities ignoring
your noble farce
The buddha’s eyes narrow

they removed a chunk
stole it from a mysterious place
pink and hidden
and dropped it into a sterile plastic jar
left it on the counter
for me to contemplate.
it looked at me
waiting . . . more

Slowly awaken
unwilling to open
eyes to a nightmare
no longer there
one eye opens slowly
left glancing then right
the other snaps open
both clear of sight
undimmed by the night

He stood stock still
and was amazed
She filled his eyes
and left him dazed
so much unlike
where he was from
the mountain stood
both broad and . . . more

Dawn bares her rich palette-
Seductive awakening
Tar stained gulls hover-
Scolding thieves
Sea reflects sun's rays-
Blinding illusion
Waves pound the virgin sand-
Tidal release

Another dark forbidding day,
the winds and rain have come.
To whisk all the trees bare,
leaving a wet, ugly mess on the ground.
Beauty turned dark.
Just last week, we marveled at the colors
that magically . . . more

Lightning Strike!
That was one heck of a lightning strike ,
as the band was playing in the bar.
It blew the lights, fans and singer's mike;
we sat in the dark not going far.

Catching up
Here and there
Smile. Hug. Kiss
Holding me
Laying next to me
Having your way with me
Rest. Repeat. Walk away.
Door shuts
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of luck
Out . . . more

She wrapped her lips around the can
Inhaling the chemical stench
Winding her internal clock
A porcelain figure stealing the night
A wide eyed jaded innocent
She mechanically traces . . . more

Desire #1
How much we share, as yet unknown,
In lives apart like spotlights searing city skies,
Roving lidless, gazing upon the heavens, yet
Seeing neither stars nor each other.

Waves crash over me
Salty blue water chokes
Arms and legs treading
Head back trying to stay afloat
Gulping for air
Ocean tosses this rag doll
Looking through water's window pane . . . more

If the cornea replaces itself
every 24 hours,
have these eyes
absorbed your beauty?
If the skin regenerates itself
every 30 days,
are the violations
no longer scored?
If blood cells refresh themselves . . . more

Starbursts
Spark from wave crests
To charm a loving pair
Who clasp hands at the liner's rail
And regale as her ring becomes as one
With nature's dancing nighttime heart
And glimpse their . . . more

When she sees him,
her first thought
is of the myth of the Yup'ik
and the hundreds of words
they have for snow.
It seems unfair that English
does not provide her
with hundreds . . . more

I wave goodbye
Thinking this is the last time
And as much as I hope it is
Really for my sanity more than anything
I know better
I can not forget you
Push as hard as I might
Replace your face with . . . more

I think I may
have died today.
I feel so light-headed.
I thought I might
cry today.
But the tears
would not be found.
I tried to hide
in bed all day
but it hurt my back
too much. . . . more
