A Look Into Now Series #33

A brown vase sits

on a glass coffee table

waiting to be knocked off;

A figment of my imagination

waits on a bed of silk sheets

waiting to be knocked up;

Three cats in a desert of love

play with a wild rat that

can belong to none of them;

Winds of pain silently

torture my thoughts of you

since you left me once again.

no regrets have left these lips since

eyes were first laid upon you, and

no words will ever be spoken about

the unnatural way you love me, or

the way you suppress my need to

become that which I need to be.

out from the corner

of the private room

in which I hide all

my dirty thoughts,

is the dark figure

with whom I have

had my sordid affairs,

and to this day

know not the gender

or the reputation that

brings me back so often.

fingers on both hands

move across the keys

in rapid-fire succession,

as if the words they execute

are so important to the

grand finale seduction

that no breaks are witnessed

until the last orgasm occurs.

A Look Into Now Series #29

Age purges us of our innocence
so easily over the years, only noticing
when illness extracts the vibrancy
once guiding our once crafty songs;

Age tell us when and where but not how

she will twist our thoughts and skew

our memories, letting confusion be

the only path on which our feeble legs can walk;

Age loves us like a wanton whore

whose succulent body teases our blood

while our enslaved, hot muscles attempt

to perform as imprinted, but fail;

Age folds us into a room of lost remembrances

giving us the key to escape but no lock

or door or future into which we can peer

or retreat should we decide to stay.

I will not dance at your funeral

nor will I dance at your grave;

I will not display any emotions

since you left us prematurely;

I will suffer silently your passing and

will love you all immensely forever.

A Look Into Now Series #27

Reach down inside me and
pull out what you desire;

take what you think is yours

leaving the rest for others to devour;

trail wet kisses along my body side

as you tease me with your eyes;

but, do not take more than you need

as one day it may be returned.

A Look Into Now Series #26

beneath your wanton eyes
lips kiss me tenderly;
beneath your sensuous lips
breasts suggest intentions;

beneath your subtle breasts

womanhood opens invitingly;

beneath our casual embrace

undeniable longing lies with us.

a carpenter holds out

a smooth and gentle hand,

pulling me out of the

depths of despair

so that I can pull others
and together we can
live in the light of love.

A Look Into Now Series #24

On the wings of Buffalos we soar into the sky as

though one's limitations and fears were of no concern;

Through the eyes of innocent children we see clearly

that which no adult would ever be able to imagine;

From inside our careless and reckless lives we try to

imagine the horrows of the last few seconds of life.

A Look Into Now Series #23

It is not for today that

we live but for tomorrow;

It is not for ourselves that

we do but for others in need;

It is not for flags that

we fight but for freedom;

It is not for a belief that

we die but for a promise.

I can feel your hot breath...

I can feel your smooth body...

I can feel your slow moving fingers...

I can feel your hand between my legs...

I can feel my body open up to you...

I can feel your currents wash over me...

I can feel the waves moving in and out of me...

I can sense the end of the day but not the moment...

I can easily match your rhythms...

I cannot hold back our time.

A Look Into Now Series #21

torturing currents of excitement immediately

course through our veins and muscles

as we explode in convulsions of erotic orgasms,

looking around at those who have watched us,

return to their normal, uneventful lives.

A Look Into Now Series #20

the floor is crowded with partners

who like us move in slow circles,

who like us release the heat of closeness,

who like us have exploring sensations

traveling from one opening to the other,

who unlike us keep their hands to themselves

as we erupt, shudder, and hold close.

A Look Into Now Series #19

the world wants us not

whose age approaches fifty,

unless it is for power or money

or to babysit, as if our time

has become less valuable than sight

and our memories have become

a few useless wild cards that will

never be used in "real" poker.

A Look Into Now Series #18

within the imagination we explore
fantasies and fetishes of the flesh,
touching and feeling the forbidden,
as if alive and real it has become;
mental images moving us in and out
of preconceived sexual situations

that ignite the fires so often extinguished;

journeys of passion we explore like early travelers

who were never satisfied, exploring the unknown,

wearing cloaks of darkness to hide weaknesses,

but relentless in pursuit of unparalleled pleasures;

induced states of sexual innuendos ruled

the consciousness like some erotic opiates

had been boiled inside the pleasure tea;

releasing and renewing desires for both

males and females and those inbetween became

the hopeless, wishful desires twisted around

those of us who knew we would never break free.

we are born without warranties and

we are raised without forgiveness;

we are trained in the art of war but

we are never allowed to win the game;

we are herded around to acquire debt

we are amazed that we have no discipline;

we die prematurely,

we are buried absentmindedly,

we are seldom cherished afterwards; but,

we are free…

A Look Into Now Series #16

greed regulates and perpetuates

our lives not much different

than cockroaches who have

survived for thousands of years;

false harmonies have been

our battle cry as we take what

belongs to others because we can

while spitting our platitudes

of equality, truth, and justice;

sad that we are who we are but

still too insufficient for us to change.

A Look Into Now Series #15

We are targets of our own selfish limitations and

targets for those who are here, but don’t understand;

we are sentinels of joy and destruction, exploring

what is not ours but apparently ours to take;

we are sad creatures who prey on the weak minded

as they have very little room in which to bargain;

we are destined not to have a destiny anymore.

A Look Into Now Series #14

I have loved but been

without

love all of my life

without

the means to escape

without

the need to give more

without

the willingness to accept

and now

in these last few years

without

any regrets or remorse.
