HIDE YOUR SECRETS WELL, AND OTHER POEMS, OCTOBER 23, 2024
hide your secrets well
but never quite well enough
for me not to know
your boundaries dissolve
before rushing floods of love
you couldn't but you will
your eyes tell me all
as you take my hand and turn
leading me within
-----
you guided my hand
places it was meant to be
upon your body
taught it where to stop
the way that spot was touched
bring moans to your lips
tempo and rhythm
perfect pressure and motion
for both our pleasures
-----
if i could not satisfy
would you take a lover
if you had my blessing
-----
know my poetry
is the main attraction here
poet not the man
-----
only question asked
what would you want next my love
tell me of your needs
-----
no need to forgive
acts that i don't consider sin
merely love's nature
-----
when you freely love
give your lover the freedom
to love as freely
-----
pretend apron hides
your nakedness i wish to see
as it swings and sways
-----
burning words on skin
your own candle your own wax
medium you choose
-----
words come unbidden
wine's depths flickering candles
musical vibrations
----
please call me stranger
i'm from a different place
where love makes all friends
-----
sometimes a darkness
empty space envelopes me
i wait its passing
-----
warmth light and laughter
brothers and sisters gather
poet shivers outside
-----
once almost destroyed
a dark tunnel left inside
i get lost sometimes
-----
poetry exists
in places you've never seen
ways to make you blush
-----
comes the dark once more
old and evil memories
invading my mind
-----
wander this strange land
alien without a home
where love is welcome
-----
write so much of love
something i know little of
yet dreamed all my life
-----
why must poets dream
chasing unrealities
finding love in words
