I'll not draw so hard that there's blood
Were the clouds to rain, my words on you would run together

1.
The way it felt when we sat together at the dining room table
and I didnt know that I was in @*!#$ with you yet. Suddenly
I felt the existence of my arms more than ever before. They
wanted me to lift them and reach into your lap.
Of all the things Id ever felt for men, simply wanting to grab
a hold on their cock had never been one.

2.
The fact that we hadnt touched each other made my body
become hypersensitive to histo the fact that we could be
touching but we werent. I was so finely tuned in to his body
that when his fingertip grazed my forearm it made that line
on my skin burn.

The Perversity
Why cant we just be together
laying side by side,
feeling the leather and soft powder of our skins
no enteringno exiting the other
Why cant we just be together
laying side by side,
feeling jointly our arousals
nothing exchanged or appetites satisfied
Why am I made to feel unfair, a tease, and perverse
for refusing consummation?
Youre cheap, a cop-out
degrading our desires
Let it linger like the odor on the sheets
Let it dangle between us like a cusp
Let it always be beyond reach till it no longer matters
And love will be platonic and it will always grow
And desire will unite
no lines drawn in the sand
There wont be a starting line and there wont be an end
You wont be lying far over there and I here
you satisfied and I left wanting
I will always be wanting, more
Tension
Purity
Ecstasy

WITHOUT WARNING

(after Sappho)

receding dark into pre-sleep

falling thru
many branches
computer mazes
windows
animal eyes

tired summers

find
under shaking oak
my breath on your
lips
fingers

ear
laugh lines

FILLY DREAM (after Ginuwine)

guide,

ride me

bridle

my steam rising

hide

bliss

Since last night everything I do with my mouth reminds me

of you. Beneath your teeth an apples skinll send juices
welling up even before you pull down harder for the peeling
crisp. I fried my eggs a little softer and at the first bite felt
yolk run out and wetten my chin, felt yellow thicken and
soak into the spongy white. Talkings different too. I cant
make words without touching my tongue to my teeth and to
the roof of my mouth. A vowel is a shape I hold in my lips
for a moment and let go. Im thinking less about which
words to use, now. Now they just kind of come sighing up
from inside of me. On my bike breath slips out hot and
carries with it the moisture of my gums. I cant whistle but I
can sing, and I think Im just now learning how to knot the
muscles at the back of my throat, but what I really want to
learn more is your language. I want to learn the language
you spoke into my mouth last night.

swathed, supine
your mouth opens mine
mutual capture
milk of rapture
we dive in
to swim
red rover
all over
i need it
cede it
deeply
to me

taste the rainbow

tongues of flame
firm, broad licks
prolong our kicks
jiggling girls
quivering boys
everything
in between

Salacious, snake skills

Rim our night.
Pervasive, intrusive rites,
Of intercourse all right.
Forgetting I'm lonely
and forging ahead,
Your tongue is dirty,
Literally; your lover's cheeks turned red.
There's a rift
And I'm plummeting
It feel like blood letting,
Setting this sun with(in) you
...
Boy, you're my lady lately,
Flagrant spells, sucked off rent
Tomorrow knows the road;
Hasty love, fucked transient
