i enjoy pleasing
but i like my pleasure too
let's please each other
-----
trust me with yourself
secrets will be safe with me
heart and mind as well
-----
let me look within
erotic beauty of your mind
help you find your way
-----
erotic beauty
combined art within our minds
private museum
-----
poet matters not
all they care about is words
enjoy and move on
-----
you don't know i'm here
your words meant for someone else
i pretend they're for me
-----
i pretend you care
that you love the way i do
understand my heart
-----
don't want to hurt you
for i care too much for you
i remain silent
-----
don't be kind to me
it's something i'm not used to
others ignore me
-----
never the main course
i've always been leftovers
no one else wanted
-----
the poems are dreams
wishes for what might have been
but what never was
-----
i've long searched for you
once or twice thought i'd found you
perhaps this time i have
-----
wildly tousled hair
across the breakfast table
a promising smile
