so long alone with
secrets of her own desires
until he joined her
-----
i can't separate
romance and physical love
mind and body one
-----
too young too old
too light too dark
too male too female
too this too that...
what silly worries...
love should not erase differences
nor transcend them
tho loving heart
should not recognize
the existence of
too many things like these
-----
though i live for love
i only give and never get
don't know how that feels
-----
tongue brushes you with
raw tints from my love's palette
you my work of art
-----
on kitchen counter
she prepares a lover's feast
he dines on her honey
licking the sweet syrup
flowing from her blossom's stem
mouth filled with her love
love's favor returned
her lips around his reed his stalk
savoring his sap
-----
let's get together
you and me and he and she
prove what love's about
-----
stay away from me
i want to love you too much
and know you don't care
-----
i try to ignore
my heart's silly fantasies
like expecting love
-----
do you even care
words tha only part of me
that matters to you
-----
used to think you cared
somewhere in your mind i mattered
but meant nothing to you
-----
life's a lonely road
obligations and duties
and sleeping karma
-----
much too old for you
much too old for love at all
guess i never learn
-----
i've believed so long
but i've learned dreams don't come true
that's a fact of life
-----
medals and awards
career summed by certificates
moth eaten uniform
-----
i'm driven to write
despite the pain it brings me
in empty echoes
-----
when it comes to love
love is what really matters
not the other stuff
-----
she my little bee
flutters around my honey
taking loving sips
-----
the honey i spill
words which speak of you and love
delightful subjects
-----
do you have spare love
can you lend me a little
so i know how it feels
-----
used to dream of love
shared with everyone i met
until it was gone
-----
your love just a dream
why should you be different
no one else has
