The Call
The wildness in you
Calls
Deep and longing
In the darkness
Eyes ablaze
you come
upon my camp fire
Seeking
What?
Even you do not know
as you approach
Hesitant
I stand
No fear in me only longing
For something
Long denied
I remove my clothes
and stand as naked
as you
Reaching out
I grasp your hand
Misunderstanding
You snarl
But I hold tight
Leading us both
Back from which
You came.
To the woods…
To nature
To the wild
The real
I give you a
Smile
Letting go of your hand
and break into a run
Not looking back
For I know you are close
Behind.

My Killer Girlfriend
I knew the moment I spied you
that the devil lived behind those blues.
How long ago did you trap him, for
I see he’s itching to play.
It’s clear from our encounter,
your a girl who can handle her boomstick
when it goes off with a kick.
Your grip on the gun is tight but loose as
silver bullets fill it, along with a gleam.
You smile that smile that I could die for as the
full moon rises, and
the day descends to glorious night.
My hand takes yours as we roam
the dank castle far beneath in the catacombs.
I’ll take the hammer, you take the stake
as we take out a vampire or two on our first date.
When other monster’s wish to interlude upon
our first kiss your casual air and
sadistic flair with an axe
cannot be denied as the crimson droplets fly
in the midnight air….Oh, I think I’m in love!
Let’s not dawdle, let’s not hesitate in our fate.
For we have a rendezvous, me and you, and it involves
Frankenstein and the Wolfman’s heads
on a plate.

I will

I will not like everything you do
but I will still like you.
I will not love the moods you
fall into but I will
still love you.
I will see you as you are;
imperfect, unpolished, lost
but I will still take your hand
and squeeze it, letting you know I am
right there with you on that path.
I will laugh when you laugh, I will cry when you cry
I will hurt when you hurt,
through all the years
that we have left on this earth
I will.
There is beauty in you,
so much beauty
Like a child that sleeps
and dreams
of play and magical places to roam
and beasts to wrestle and hug
I will always be watching
you dream.

Quote of the Day Being Vulnerable
Now
Embracing the fear
The thrill
The escape
Adrenaline rush
Skin warming
You
Your body
Wanted
Must have
Now
No waiting
Who’s watching
Who may watch
I dont fucking care
Just bend over
Now

Burn

Let me learn you.
Let me take residence
in your mind
for the moment
and kick up my feet
next to the fireplace
inside of you.
Let me feed that fire,
stoke it…shift it,
sustain it as I warm myself.
What are the limits
you will climb to?
Will you burn the house down
to get to me?
Will you eat and eat like
a fire does.
Consuming everything
wanting more and more?
Go ahead.
For I will burn with you.
From deep red, to a pale yellow
to bright orange,
dancing and blinding
in the night.
I will burn with you
leaving nothing left
but ashes in the
end.

Kissing you Violently
a kingdom of twists
and false turns,
full of dragons, goblins, trolls,
and all kinds of viciousness.
You are lost in it,
meandering to and fro.
Bogs, quicksand, dark woods
and sweeping storms rage
as you huddle in a hole
in a hollowed out stone hill.
Yet you travel on, for the storms
always settle for just a slice of time,
just a slice,
same as the monsters which stop in their
roaming, if only a bit.
Enchantments abound,
seemingly fair of nature,
always to turn to a curse
soon revealed,
as the invisible ropes
binding you deep on a pedestal
force a lucid sleep,
of nightmares you cannot place.
Knuckles bloodied
against a stone wall which
will never fall.
I punch.
See? Nary a chip.
So I climb…
Breath spent in exhaling
as lungs heave
with exertion
at muscles spent,
screaming with fatigue.
I find you sleeping.
Fitfully.
A beautiful wretch of a woman
The only kind I would
ever seek.
A Prince of Fools I may be
perhaps, but still a
knowing knight am I in the end,
for only a violent kiss
will bring you back to
life.
Not one of wishes
and hopes and dreams
or even love,
but one of a passion
to rival a thousand
wants and deeds.
And as I look to you
I am full of
violence
this day.
and kiss you violently
Her Body –
Her Body
I noticed her body after her beguiling faced walked in.
It spoke and sang to me with a swaying of heavy hip action.
If only I could dial back my desire then the stars would align,
but the god given geometry wrapping around that frame
would make a chaste man wonder why he went insane
as he saw curves creating arcs upon arcs
intertwining to manifest into shapes
only nature could conceive.
In the lovely female form
there’s a weakness
in me because as she
walks across the room
I continue to gaze while my
rapture increases knowing her body is
hidden beneath thin layers that only deepen
the mystery of a softness that is surely there.
What if I were to simply let my hands wonder
where they wish to go, to peek lightly with
fingertips in a caress down her naked back
with all intent to travel on if my bold
desires permitted such an act.
I know my place, but she
will learn my charms,
she will see my face,
and look deep into
my eyes and
wonder if
tonight I
am her
fate.

Embers in Transition – A poem
My nature has always been as bright embers…
clumped, low and smoldering
always smoldering within me.
Never roaring, never a conflagration
never wanting to burn bright,
to consume and conquer.
A fearful ball of flame, apprehensive
of overreaching its borders,
Self constrained and wrapped tight.
Hidden and held down.
I’m burning up.
layer by slow layer from the inside.
I need to let it trickle out
and let the air in.
Feed it,
give it what it wants….
So it can truly burn like
it has always wished
it could
From without.
