i followed the sighs
throaty cries which led to you
though you never knew
-----
yes i look for you
fear perhaps you may not come
smiling when you do
-----
i waited for you
never sure you would appear
oh, but when you did...
-----
suddenly appeared
one who truly understood
set free by my words
-----
her fingers feel words
touching traces upon skin
read what i wrote there
clues in secret places
penetrating poetry
flowing like a spring
eyes shut tight to feel
every movement that he makes
with his magic pen
-----
as she spread her wings
soared into an endless sky
all was possible
-----
glistening petals
shining with love's silver dew
framing love's taut bud
-----
your story hidden
poet made you a goddess
who learned to love him
-----
he remembers well
the taste of a lover's skin
and the sounds she made
-----
meets me in the hall
ready before the door is closed
to welcome me home
a vertical wall
serving as a lovers' bed
my hand holding hers
arches a rainbow
carnal display of desire
crying out greetings
-----
she retrieved my tears
love drops from a weeping heart
that cried with gladness
------
Brits with a flick of the wrist,
Americans full wind up and
Bring it in from first or third,
At 90+ miles per hour.
Talking darts, perv.
And, when a drunk American GI
Lets go of that missile,
No telling where it will go...
Except the one that
Whistled past my ear, and,
Stuck in the table by my hand,
Germany, 1969.
-----
i've waited for you
not only for these few hours
but for a lifetime
-----
with your knowing smile
black strap over bare shoulder
no escape for me
-----
flowing through our veins
pure and impure works of art
you and i enjoy
-----
thought the hurt was gone
but so suddenly recalled
it still feels the same
-----
soft pillared temple
your tiny goddess rises
kisses of worship
-----
oh to be desired
walk at last through someone's dreams
to be missed at dawn
