Curtain Call

between my legs
your hand is felt,
however,
it was your mouth
I preferred...

between your legs
I reciprocate,
hoping,
to entice you into
spending the night;

between our lives,
responsibilities exist,
realities,
leaving us longing for
what we cannot have;

between our bodies
a curtain falls,
and we must change clothes
for our last scene.

Cursed

Remember me,
the next time you spread your legs,
hoping the find the illusive
staff of life;



Remember me,
as you kiss your way to ecstasy,
turning it one just as
easily as you
turn it off;

Remember me,
as you rape your way up the
ladder of happiness,
realizing too late it
is embedded in mud;

Remember me,
when your lover's love leaves
and you are left alone
to satisfy yourself;

Remember me,
as the sun bakes your flesh and
the soft beauty you once were
turns to snake skin;

Remember me,
and the fact that you were warned
about the curse that
never loving anyone
will do to you.

Cat Like

lick me as a feline

licks herself,

to clean,

to renew,

to remove the filth

of yesterday

from my pores

as if I

can begin again

after I dry.

Cashing Out

she whispers in my ear
tantalizing tales of seduction
resembling my past
while reminding me of my
own sexual dysfunctions
that always accompanies age,
leaving out the sweet smell
of sexual excitement
that I remember all too well;
her body presents itself to me
like bearer bonds offered to a bank
as collateral for a loan
to purchase a fleet of whores.

Returning

just around the corner
from the everyday life,
you try to lead,
never ending memories of
never ending fantasies are
illusions of reality you
find to be true,
each and every time you
want yourself returning
to his caring touch.

Acceptance

our love no longer transcends

but exists on its own, holding

us together loosely like wearing

a bathrobe over our feelings;

our love, like Monet's lilies, float

aimlessly in our backyard pond,

waiting for Spring landscapers

to divorce the old ones out;

our love, freezes like ice on a 

clothesline since thaws never

arrive early anymore, preventing

us from changing our feelings.

Twice

who so ever lives
beyond their prime
must die twice to
appease the gods
and balance out
life's subtle evolution.

Hiding

the soul of the beast

lives deep within me,

creating darkness to

hide the light from my

mid evil inquisitions,

regarding your love

affair with my devil.

Melting

flakes of chipped memories

slide down mental crevices

like the polar ice cap but

no global warming exists

inside my head other than

the heat that is generated to

stay two steps ahead of you.

Behavior

an arctic breeze swept over us
during the night but I remained
warm and cozy in our bed of feathers
beside my bird-of-prey wife;
her tender body burned like
charcoal against my skin, leaving
marks of sadistic pleasure upon
the layers of my foolish resistance;
morning alarms rendered a dark sky
and a white light reflected off the
pristine whiteness of a frozen snow,
forcing nature down like a rapist;
morning chores of sacrifice have
been abandoned by the wintry mix
reminding us these days can be just
 as unpredictable as human behavior.
