Daydream

10am
on a Sunday
Baby, I got nothin’
but time
if you can run as fast
as my feet will take us
let’s escape this
stagnant world
for 12 hours
create a halo
in the sky
 
Let’s share a slurpie
kick a can
down the cracking sidewalks
find a big green field
and stop to tumble around
kiss and flirt
and kiss some more
 
We’ll paint the town YELLOW
pretend we’re kids–
wait–
no need to pretend,
Lord [...]

A la Carte

Dainty in fitted emerald satin
I watch across the room
As she sits
Elbows on the table
Coy
Hair as crisply angled
As the money used
To pay for it
I can almost smell
Her designer perfume
The scent is unknown
But distinctively expensive-
Like her heart
That broke too many times
To afford an honest orgasm
From a working man
I don’t wonder
What she is thinking
Real thoughts are frozen
On evenings [...]

Jean-Babtiste

Brevity
Marks the memories
Of perfection
An evening spent
On a balcony
Beneath indecisive
September air
Cool winds diffused
By my indifference
Standing in your arms
Beneath Cannes’ stars
You were
Soft as a boy
And bold as a man
Wanted to know everything
That brought me
To where I stood
Pretended that we had time–
One day before you left
One day after I arrived—
Took advantage of the space
In [...]

Good Bye

Simple as a change in climate
A change in mood
Care not what I can do for you
Because loving affection is bought only
With reciprocation
I will not beg for you
I know my limitations–
My simple reward for experience
And time.
I have held you
Stared into your eyes
Felt you quiver
I have moved you with only my pen
And unlike other girls,
I was your lover
Long [...]

When Bad News Falls

I don’t condone madness, but I approve of mild disarray. You can go out walking on your sunny day off and kick up the rocks, but don’t expect to find any pot shards hanging out to validate your discovering mood.
There use to be days when I woke up and laid in bed all day. [...]

An experimental moment
In life
Leading to a bitter sweet outcome
As it usually does
Making me want chocolate—
Dark chocolate—
To match my mood
To numb my need
Arms of another
Always leaving me empty
Not empty, really
Full of words
And thoughts
And revelations
That no one shall ever hear
Save my pillows and my walls
Kiss me, darling,
With my eyes closed
I won’t see what you’re
About to do
But [...]
