if i knew you smiled
if my words had touched that way
almost making love
-----
two daring lovers
musing over the meanings
of erotic thoughts
-----
covert messages
erotic imaginings
her fingers follow
-----
arcane poet
a romantic humanist
loving beyond love
-----
my mind exploring
your most exciting riddle
how to win your love
-----
whoever you need
i can only be myself
immersed in your love
-----
ancient tune intoned
love cry from time's beginning
a timeless solo
-----
her blindfold removed
left in bondage to desire
rising up from love
-----
quiet outward smile
inner eroticism
desirable woman
-----
sometimes love's liquid
summer rain on naked skin
or an inner flood
-----
when she makes me smile
that's almost like making love
oh but when i laugh...
-----
my rule about love
love should be a complete thing
encompassing the world
-----
each day was the same
and then one day she appeared
her mind matching mine
-----
anyone looking?
it doesn't really matter
we kiss anyway
-----
too old to be loved
yet still young enough to love
a sad time indeed
-----
the way i see you
not with the eyes of others
but with my own truth
-----
sadness descending
too many disappointments
at all my failures
-----
his hand in hers near
edge of ecstasy's abyss
their journey's climax
-----
love's about giggles
satisfied sighs in the darkness
a shoulder to cry on
-----
not what you gave me
but that you gave it to me
that makes it matter
-----
i've no right to ask
nor even to expect
whatever's yours to give
-----
she couldn't believe
the beauty i saw her
her natural art
-----
i can't stop loving
while she can't stop not knowing
i write about it
