Unbound

I poured myself into her life
We blended
Love and grace and
Intertwined souls of angelic joy and
Blessed sanctity
Embracing hearts and reckless kisses
Enveloped in our oneness
Impervious to pain
Immune from suffering
Sealed securely in orgasmic splendor
Pure passion unbounded
Bliss 

The Sigh Does Not Satisfy

The sad hot day in the drought and dry and the dead
No wind or breeze or motion and the sickly silence is crawling
I feel heavy and soft and listless and wait for the wife who will not come
There is no motion anywhere and my knee is pulsing with pain
My heart races and the kitchen is full of dirty dishes
There is nothing in the air but still warmth
An ugly mood begins to envelop me but I am too lethargic to cry or even feel
I stare out the window at he barely moving leaves
I want but cannot have so much else than what is now
In this wistful evening of saffron sorrow and death
Someone walks by talking in a nasal voice perfect for my mood
I conjure images of snow and beaches and fog
And redwood trees and art galleries and football stadiums
And rock concerts and pastel perfection and still my wife is not home and so
The sigh does not satisfy
It is shallow and like this evening bereft or relief and I then
At last I hear it
My wife’s voice
She is home
Hallelujah!

Needing Cozy

Want to be home
On sofa
Wrapped in blanket
Rain outside (where else)
Sipping tea
Glow of TV
Cat curled up at my feet
Dog curled up on the floor
Fire roaring
Books everywhere
Family in house
Dinner cooking
Aromas
Happiness and contentment
Comfort and coziness
But I'm at work
Headaches
So much to do
Scowling
Toiling
Long time till home
Need the cozy

Porn Hop

Pretty lady
Porn hop
In a bookstore leggy Italian beauty
Walking downtown crazy lady sweeping
Idiots on bikes on sidewalks
Porn hop
Dashing to catch light
Homeless smoking cigarettes glowering
Teens soaking up late Summer
Porn hop
Another bike idiot ignores stop sign
Grocery store hustle bustle
Frozen pineapples for smoothie
Porn hop
Earth Mother frowns at avocados
Check out line short
Walk down warm streets of warm day
Porn hop
Homeward bound past mom and stroller
Cacophony of crows
House in distance
Porn hop
Internet:
Instagram twitter email
But resist it
No porn hop

This Day This Place This Time

Cursing pound ennui
The relentless tedium
Boring a hole into my head
Endless and relentless and

So the bird sings
I ignore it
The bus roars
I curse it
You smile
But I frown
The coffee perks me up
The jerking fleeting
Madness of a grasping eternally persistent societal demand to conform and not to question and this drives you toward cynicism which you should flee at all costs running running running seeking the relief of belief the dope of hope the contentment of no resentment joy unbridled and love stories untitled — happens
I am the end of my days
I am the joy I seek in you
I am the love that wraps myself around you
We are the people we were meant to be
That we cannot escape
Together
I thank you for believing
And relieving
Me of the pain of living
The horrible rending of my twisted mind
As the grind grinds my bones
Or at least my hope
But I delight in us
There is always hope
Just ignore the reality
And believe in the madness
Acceptance 101

Mom

Oh damned
Oh hated
Oh benighted and sad
Your lonely travails mock sanity
Yet you rage
Angry ravings directed nowhere
I am invisible to you
Your only audience
Torment so great in your soul
Torment so awful in my heart
Why do you tear the structure of the universe
Why do you curse the precious life you have
How damaged you must be
How awful the pain that rends your being
So softly hurting
So aggressively angry
You who do this
You who scream
You who scar me
You
My mother

If Loving is Essential

Leaping flying

Cascading

Tip toeing

Exploding into darkness

Wondering why the light

Dancing with the dark

Happy just to be

If loving is essential

The reeling careening continues

And

I laugh uproariously

The race is on

See me melt

What a wondrous duo my minds are

As if there is no end

Leaping flying

Cascading

Tip toeing

Ever present in nowhere

Because of all

Kisses

Yes to loving

Which is essential
