It’s Anguish when she turns from me Worse still, I've earned this action It wounds the ‘We’ – I’m sure we’d be It’s a void sprung from attraction How strange to feel the guilt of it It ignites a hole I’ve known The Fable sought – my acts were not The smartest seeds I’ve …

Life Spring
I’ve glimpsed the soul of ‘Life Spring’ as it huddled Doubt filled, hurting, twisting in the dark She ponders my intentions and befuddled Imagines that I won’t maintain the spark Exquisite she, though flawed and prone to finding - Reasons to distrust the love in me Trying to surpass the past’s un-windings Disavowing dreams …
Love Quake
As lovers Tim and Tiff were a natural disaster. The first night they were together, sexually, the earth moved! Literally. For it was at the exact moment of a searing climactic mutual release that a 3.9 magnitude earthquake drifted along the San Andreas fault and gave a vibrant 5th dimension to their shared orgasms. They …
Myself
There is a very common phrase in the self-centric lexicon of language: “I found myself wanting her”. This is an unambiguous enough, arousal based, bit of self-expression. I cannot fathom the level to which it may resonate at the heart of a woman but as a man it is, generally, barely denim deep. Men are …
Bed-lamb
It could have been a simple conversation It should have been, but wasn’t, not for me Because it bore the pungent stench of desperation She’s a coin, full in sight, but out of reach She could have said her lines a whole lot better I think I would have liked believability But she never …

The Alliteration Song
Some shit-head ‘city slicker’ strutted into town Talk’n real big and walk’n my girl around And I don’t doubt he’s done deeds of daring do But I’ve done me a daring deed or two I caught him in the corn crib try’n to cop a kiss I called him out – he said: “it …
Derrick
The lines, which led to cracks, fell into fissures A featured tin foil ball of wrinkled face It sat atop a feeble derrick body Knee deep in sea and rusting into space Decrepit, almost silent, the mottled hulk had stood Infecting the sky in a collage of carbonizing cancer He had stood a lifetime. …
Appleside
The holes in my hands had finally healed When my cart caught the gutter and shattered a wheel And strewn by the roadside my apples all lay But I’m doing all right… It’s just one of those days I sat on the curbside and twiddled my thumbs The Blind man just laughed, when he …
