wishing I’d hear from you
three weeks ago
you wrote to me
but, one word will never do
nine years ago
we scened but once
#Longing and Desire

He wasn't there at all; it was just the music that made her heart ache, swim, stir like those moments when they had kissed, when he had touched her hand, when
Whispers
Tuck your nose behind my ear
Speak so softly I cannot hear
Lips pressed gently to my skin
Murmur nothing again, again
Slip your fingers up my throat
Utter hushed words so remote
Simple Breaths
It was simple,
A breath,
And I slipped from now to then,
And I saw your face again,
And your face remotely yours,
As we stood before the doors...
It was simple,
A
Fire & Water
Fire burns at your fingertips
Fire that leaps from your perfect lips
Fire that heats all of what I am
Fire that burns in your epigram
At length, you and I are endlessly
Still True
(tho singed and lost within the smoke of recent fires)
I love you
I know I say it all the time,
(I love you)
but I do
I love your smile, and

Beyond Reality
He's the end of the alphabet...
Sometimes, I wonder if he’s not the end of the world, too;
The end of me
The end of everything I know and want,
The Muse
“The trouble with a muse,”
(my dear friend said)
“is that one cannot control it.”
I am bound by the aches and pains,
By the emptiness and the questions that remain
In the
P.S. I Love You, Still
I fell into your world, my love;
And here, I shall remain, in heart,
Even if I am away,
Even if I must away,
Even if I am to be in a Wonderland
The Magic of An Autumn Night
A thousand leaves quiver a million colored hellos
And I remember you.
A brisk wind chills my fingers
And I embrace the sensation,
Tickled by the thought of you:
Your warm hands on
Speaking In Tongues
I can’t even tell you.
The truth
Is that I do not have a choice
On this planet
But to quit
But to be quiet
Because I’ve said so many things
Narcissus' Redemption
If you knew how I live,
Would you ever go away?
Would you ever want a moment alone,
Or would you want to bask in me?
If you knew how I see you,
Rivers of Passion
Yes, I do have a mind -
but I have a body, too
and I deserve to be touched
to be worshipped
to be admired
to be adored
as any cloud
as any storm
Prides
I knew our days were numbered,
from the start:
Your soulful, aching gaze lingering;
Your life, your willful ways chaining;
You were a longing man amongst a pride of lions;
I am a
Falling in Love in the Rain
The rain streamed down so many panes of glass,
With you beneath, bustling, working,
And I watched…
My mirrored soul-streams spilled outside, reflecting
As my confessions, compliments, and I fell hopelessly, endlessly.
Breaking Tides
Fill me with your new love
With your way of seeing
With your way of knowing;
Fill me with visions of you
And drown out the memories of him:
I don’t want
Shades of Light
I may not need you
To make me happy;
I may not need you
To give me beauty;
I may not need you
To give me love;
I may not need you
To
Still Unstill
I still need to see you.
I still need to breathe the same air as you
In the same spaces as you
In the same moments as you.
Perhaps there are greater things
The Awakening Foretold
One day, my dear, we will see each other again
And our eyes will lock again
And we will see each other again
And I wonder if I’ll cry
Or if my
What kind of man would "not want to?"
One who is afraid of love, perhaps?
One who has been hurt before, and does not want to be hurt again?
One who has hurt others before, and does not want to hurt
When Angels Love Devils
Somewhere in me, I’m crying over you.
Your hardened heart and devilish mind say I am not supposed to,
And still, the tears well in my eyes
Because I love you
Because
Song for a Sultan
So,
You think that it is ended,
That it is all my fault.
I can bear the weight of our responsibilities,
I can bear the weight of the pain of our unborn affair,
Still Saturday
I don’t know why you had to leave
But you left.
I can’t believe the words you spoke,
Except as filtered flickers of the truth.
It’s ok.
The rain still
As You Are
I am not for you.
You’ve said it:
You are not looking for beauty.
You regret asking me for my strength;
You regret asking me for all I am,
You said you
Secrets
We all have secrets we don’t tell each other:
Mine usually start with “I love you”
And spill like starlight from my eyes;
Yours usually start with “I want you”
And spill
Old Love
Old love is almost always as good as new love. Sometimes better.

You and Me
I would live to delight you,
To turn your every day to magic
As mine are turned by you
As mine are turned by me.
I would live to entice you,
To turn
Desert
I deserve to be kissed with tumul,
To be loved with such a verve,
To be wanted, desired like none other,
To be pursued with the intent of a hungry wolf.
I deserve
You Know, Don't You...?
Don’t you know that my heart aches for you?
For the way you smile,
For the way you dress,
For the way you hold yourself in a chair,
So gallantly,
So arrogantly,
A Break From Insanity
Remember the days of blue skies and sweltering heat
when your love clung to me like the humid air
when your arms found their way around me
when your head rested upon me
Unfamiliarity
Who are you
to walk into my life
to stare at me that way
with mesmerizing eyes
with an air of knowing
your body commanding me
your inaction owning me
then walk away
Our World Awaits
There is not much more I can do
I know you would worry if you knew
I spend my days in reverie
I spend my nights in longing
I spend my mornings crying
To Know You Is To Love You
I do not know how to go slow;
I do not know what that means.
I know how to be real,
To feel the world around me
In patient succulence;
I know how
Awaiting The End
Passion emboldens me,
a temporary elixir
I rush, thrilled;
my veins fill thickly with
the thought of you:
Your eyes, holding my gaze,
filling my mind with
spears of scalding iron;
My memory
