Primal

My love is primary,

My music too,

So are my children,

Who I am,

And what I do

These things are primal

They're not some time-al

Equally Necessary 

None of them Ancillary

Integral parts of whole

Some days it may not 

seem that way 

When near, I seem so far

When words consume

I leave the room or 

disappear into my guitar

Like head or heart,

The breath of life

May not be at the fore

But Which of these 

could we do without

Essential to our core

One Day

You Say

One of us will leave

One day and

One of us will grieve

One day

But tomorrow is not ours

To say

So why not live today

As One

Come to me without shame

No barrier between us

Approach me in the night

With your need

I will turn and hold you 

And stroke your nest of hair

The outline of your beauty

So pleases me

I press your soft bosom to 

My hard chest

And feel our hearts

Beating as one

Do unto her

When i stroke her
In the dazed glow
before the nod
I want her to feel
She is the most
Loved woman
There ever was

While I play her
Like a lyre
And breathe
Her scents,
her hair
Her skin
I feel at one
With the music
Of the spheres.

The One

The One

I met her on the net
A cheesy start and yet
She didn't go out much
And neither did I
But something about her
Caught my eye

She thinks it was the Telecaster
But it was her hair
I'd look each morning
For her posts
Like waiting for the dolphin
To come and play

One day she was gone
something was wrong
She'd disappeared
Forever I feared
How do you trace
A dolphin?

Heartstruck, I searched
Until I found her
and I knew
Even before she
turned around
I knew,
my senses keen
My nose, my lens, my filter
Her hug familiar,
soft and snug
I knew

I stepped out
And in
in the moment
It was the place to be
The thing to do
She is the one
I knew, i know
She knew, she knows
Each new moment
We share
The glory of finding
The one

My Physio

You put an oh so human face,
Tender words and grace
Between the system of power
And the powerless

Shared hopelessness
Better than false hope
Empathy better
than sympathy
Everybody matters.

Rich Ritual

She's a
Funny little
Lady with
Funny little
Habits

Rich in
Rituals

Like how
She folds
A tee shirt
Slices a
Pizza
Or tucks
In a sheet

Hospital
corners

Neat and tidy
Keeps you
Sane

Saving for a
Snack
Beverage
Comfort

Choc
-O-
Late

She has
Become
My rich
Ritual
How I
Love her so

Beyond The Blue Horizon

Sweet wet kisses last so long
Warmer hugs, so close, so strong
She already misses me
Before I'm gone
And I miss her too as I disappear
Beyond the blue horizon

One day our hours will be ours
We will converge And merge
Beyond the stars
Where nothing else matters
And no one else exists
Beyond The blue Horizon

Bruised Lips

Bruised lips 

that taste

And tingle 

You make me

Want to sing

Gone before dawn

But soon To return

Back to the arms 

Where I belong

Love Abides

Sleep eludes me
But love abides

I breathe and believe

In future brides

Now rest is looming

Though she's not here

I feel love blooming

I feel her near

Time Shift

Before...

When we 

gazed and stroked

and held and loved

Hour after hour

Minute to minute

Til the clock struck

Midnight

And regretfully 

we'd part only

to text some more

Into the wee hours

Today....

Ephemeral

Transitional

Distractical

And practical

Not much time

For anything

But dreams and

Memories

I was fit for a ring

Surprise

Fit for a King 

In your eyes

To come....

When we know

And show and grow

And let each

Other flow 

The pieces 

Fitting...

Gazing....

Stroking....

Holding....

Loving....

Hour after minute

Minute to hour

Our once

Broken hearts

Beating as one

Until the last sun sets

Spoons Apart

Laying in beds

Wondering apart

Why you are over there

And I am over here

As if the fifty years 

we didn't know

Each other

Wasn't enough 

Wasted time

Knowing already

That you're mine

And I am yours

And that we are

Spoons that

Nestle

Reading Aloud

Reading aloud

To each other

Reading allowed 

To each other

Intimacy shared

Iterate the literate

Chapter verse

Shaman nurse

These dog days

Drifting by

Contentment

You and I

Spilling words

Spilling worlds

On cushions

Under clouds

Reading aloud

Reading allowed

Just because

You kissed me 

and touched me

Ever so gently

As i lay sleeping

Waking 

from my reverie 

To my reverie

It will always

Be alright

It will never be

Not alright

Perspective

We are neither

And yet we are both

I think she is an 

Indian Princess

She thinks I'm a

Rock star pirate

I think she is 

Gorgeous and

She thinks I am

Handsome

We both think 

the other is hot

And we both

Think the same

That we are not

The things we

Uncover

Through the 

eyes of a lover

When we see

Ourselves

In and through 

and with

each other's eyes

See through

Each other's disguise

Beyond the bridge

Of sighs

We've truly found

The prize

Worship

As long as I have eyes

And fingers that can touch

I want your naked body

Because I love you so much

Your temple that I love so much

So modestly protected

So simply worshipped by my touch

So wholly genuflected

Your body pleases me no end

The skin that holds you in

Sacred vessel of my friend

My soul must drink you in

Circadian Rhythms

We always stay up

Too late and

We always get up

Too early

I like staying up late

And getting up early

When I am With you

But sometimes I wish

We would go to bed early

And wake up way too late

To do anything else

But be together.

Tongue Haiku

Tongue that penetrates 

Giving back to me what I

So freely give you

The Big Dipper

The Big Dipper

Was directly aligned 

Over the driveway

Tonight

Pouring stardust on my 

Buoyant boyhood soul.

I wanted to share 

What I saw with you

I wanted to dance

To breathe the same

Fresh air as you

Looking Forward

Looking forward
Looking back
Ever onward or
Off the track

Biding time
I marinate
Fermenting wine
To an altered state

For the moment,
Solo bliss
In my dreams
Your sweet, wet kiss.

Your body and mine
Should intertwine
When ever ready
When it's the time

No use to press 
No need to force
Ask "Who's the water?"
Ask "Who's the horse?"

Led to each other
No need to think
We share a thirst
It's time to drink.
