And Baby Makes Three

In the end it is the child that matters

Mommy Daddy and Paul

No words mean more

Than these simple three

They strike me to the core

Him, and you and me

They used to tell of all

That mattered in my life

Not big or fat or tall

Now cut me like a knife

Everywhere we went

Repeat them all the day

As if that they were sent

Upon a sunbeam ray

Shout out the love lost bond

Of our tiny family

Never needing to respond

This once eternity

The Window

Through the window

I watch you both on the wet grass

Legs tan and strong

taste of my addiction

our beautiful boy

tears dripping with the rain

a last glance

of the magic that was

filling the air

now already gone

as if the man in the window

never existed.

Perfect Harry Dances

With his glasses cap and gown

Prancing all around the town

Our perfect Harry dances

We made him you and I

The Ecstasy of our lives

Our perfect Harry dances

His grace comes from high above

A gift descended from the dove

Our perfect Harry Dances

We laugh at each remark

An angel in the dark

Our perfect Harry dances

His life a spinning top

No force on earth can stop

Our perfect Harry dances

Let our love combine once more

Prepare him for what’s in store

Our perfect Harry dances

Our Boy

So like a mirror he is

Like the fragile glass

That I once was

The promise lost

The wish unanswered

Shelter him Lord

From the broken mirror

Stave the bitter tear

Shield him from the memory

Of losing more

Than just of flesh and bone

That darn Sex

Any thing that feels this beautiful should be illegal.

Desire Dark

Lord strip away the dark desire

Placing me in first

Replace it with your kind inspire

And quench my desperate thirst

Fill my heart with selfless love

The kind my soul begs for

Send it from the Holy Dove

And my true love restore

This pure request now observed

My lover will know the truth

It is her heart I wish to serve

And give my life as proof

The Devil in Me

You said you liked the devil in me

So I brought him to our bed

I wish sometimes I never had

And just brought love instead

For he is sly and thrills the flesh

His purpose our souls to steal

By giving him the heart I loved

He made us his next meal

SEX

What motivates the heart

That’s what interests me

Something strong and set apart

That leads to intimacy

Sex for some is a game to win

That kind of sex is just a sin

Sex for some is just for self

You can leave that sex upon the shelf

Sex for some means nothing more

Than pushing open another door

If that is truly what you seek

Then everyone is tasty meat

But when the soul drives the act

Your heart and mind will make a pact

Where ecstasy and joy unite

When sex and love take to flight

Dark Angels

Be mindful of men who tie you down

And feed you dark and tasty things

They want to add you to their crown

And kill the light that used to sing

Their music tells you that you’re free

But it is not that way

It is like them that you must be

And in their dungeon you will stay

Now a play thing in their palm

They keep you naked at their feet

And feed you lies to keep you calm

Even while you beg retreat

These spiders like angels come to call

And the web drips with your sweat

They won’t settle for less than all

And when what’s left is just regret

First Kiss

Your lips told me a story

I have savored them

Tasted them

Longed for them

They speak sagas and sink ships

I know

I am on one

They can not lie

Such promise held

Over love

And Lust

Even the harlot does not share them

Everything else is free

But not her kiss

Their secret kept safe

As once they have been offered

And the suitor receives

Full Grace

He understands ecstacy

Acceptance

Desire

Now there is no chance

Of escape

The trap sprung

The lover ensnared

Willingly

Wantingly

Feeling only joy at his capacity

Every Moment

Another Chance

To Savor

Love

Until

The Story ends

The captive set free

Against his will

He struggles to rescue

What little crumbs

Are left on the plate

He changes

He begs

He sells his soul

But the kiss is hollow

Void of Sun

And stars

Offered only as a treaty

For what is left

Of her

The free man measured

Each remaining encounter

Suffering all the more

As loves perfect

Caress of Light

Moves on

To someone new

Unclean Vision

One day I will end

The movie of porn

Of which you are always

The star

For as sure

As I was born

You are the most

By far

Now I toil

To free my mind

From the woman

In my dream

And let the next man

In line

Take over

Where I can not

Sign me up

I signed up for this Jesus thing

And now I wonder why

While everyone else

Can have their fling

I stay at home and cry

Even if I meet the girl

Who gives my heart a burst

I’m stuck up on this tilt-o-wirl

And turning off my thirst

Being good is such a pain

Why did He take my oath

Now my erection stands in vain

With nothing for us both

One sided love affair

we create the dungeon for our own heart and then we blame the jailer

Truth

There is no exception for truth

There is no hope in a lie

The purity of truths pain

Empties the heart of darkness

As we live

So shall we end

Regrets or peace

Actions or words

Love demands truth

Truth commands love

Throw away the books

Toss aside the fear

In our hearts we are sanctified

Live only truth

Speak only truth

And rise above

The sheep at your feet

I will cross an ocean

Other men will howl at your moon

Claw at your sheets

And make you swoon

But I will cross an ocean for you

Other boys will fall at your feet

Lick your shoes

And turn up the heat

But I will cross an ocean for you

Other players will tell you lies

Stroke your needs

And drink you dry

But I will cross an ocean for you

This real love

Is not on the take

its burning for you upon a stake

And I will cross an ocean for you

The closet

The door opens

And the faint scent of you

is there to meet me

I see your face

Your hair

Your smile

The room shimmers as if you are there

More faint this time

I shut them in

And try to save

The last of you

My senses beg your return

But you are lost

I kneel at the crack

Alone on the floor

Catching in my tears

Only what I need

The Kiss not for me

More than before

Longer with intent

Like we once were

Almost close

It Lingered the day

While I thought of you

In his arms

A chance for me

Hope still beating

Now fading

I try to taste

your smile

But alas

it’s gone

Jealousy

Made not born

taking form

In the black recesses

Of the mind

Not of the divine

The spawn of the enemy

It traps the lover

In an unholy embrace

Waking first

Each morning

Returning uninvited

Encore of the damned

Ignoring all demands

For it’s departure

The devils stepchild

Sucking love from the air

Leaving only grief

Lies

Pornography

At my feet

Selfish desire

Images unfiltered

The unholy union

Of victim and torturer

Trapped

Inside each other

At His feet

Now I must learn to let you go

Expecting nothing in return

It’s all about if I can show

For your touch I no longer yearn

This is the love I want so dear

The one where I just give

No matter the end there is no fear

And nothing to forgive

I must pray my way and change my heart

The one that sometimes takes

So even when we are apart

I love for just your sake

What controls my selfish needs

Must feel the fires heat

Until its teeth no longer feed

I’ll place it upon His feet

Sure it’s Funny

when we no longer laugh we die

Legs like yours

I’ll never find a girl

With legs like yours

And I hope I never do

For they are perfect in my eyes

And the memory that is you

Really Jesus?

I signed up for this Jesus thing

And now I wonder why

While she can have her passion fling

I stay at home and cry

Even if I meet the girl

Who gives my heart a burst

I’ll be stuck up on this tilt-o-whirl

Turning off my thirst

Being good is such a pain

Why did He take my oath

Now my erection stands in vain

Not useful for us both

You talk to much

So much said

It’s like a curse

So much to be endured

It is silence that I crave

But you disburse

More talk of the absurd

Some women may like

A tongue on fire

Not me it burns me so

Can’t you stop to build the pyre

And let my senses go

I will miss of you

All the things that drove me mad

I will miss of you

The tea bags in the empty cup

The cookie papers looking up

I will miss of you

The unmade bed

The crusts of bread

I will miss of you

The purses flung across the floor

With shoes a scatter door to door

I will miss of you

All that once did drive me mad

For them all back I would be glad

I will miss of you

Not a savior

Truth is seduced by the winds of desire

IN MY FOOTSTEPS

I walked this path

So long ago

That now my lover treads

Where all that mattered

Was search for youth

And confirmation in more beds

The memory still stings

And the karma still burns

From this error of my past life

And now I watch most helplessly

As the lie consumes my wife

I want to save her from the pain

That comes from such a choice

For it is never worth the gain

What comes from such a voice

No Knights

You are no damsel in distress

As you strut and stomp in your sexy dress

No Fear of dark or end of days

Life preferred in a purple haze

A knight in armor a curse indeed

As he fends and fights the devils seed

Beneath the metal his eyes blood red

Full of eternities potential dread

He battles for you against your will

For you mean more than any thrill

No greater love has yet endured

A win that can never be secured

He prays beneath the weight of tin

For the you that hides within

He’d give up all to see a way

For you and heaven to meet one day

For you and heaven to meet one day

My dark desire

Lord strip away the dark desire

That places me in first

Replace it with your kind inspire

And take away this thirst

Now fill my heart with selfless love

The kind my soul longs for

Send it from the holy dove

So that her heart can not ignore

This pure request now observed

My lover will know the truth

It is her heart I wish to serve

And give it rest beneath my roof

A Love Lost

Love’s walk is beautiful until you drown

Poetry will never bring her back

No poem will change a woman’s heart

It’s impossible but true

For once they want to be apart

There is nothing you can do

But do not weep and do not cry

For there will come a time

When all the answers and reasons why

Will come drifting down the line

Then you’ll understand the hurt

The lesson you needed most

And all the help that came to you

From Father, Son and Holy Ghost

THE WALL

I created the bricks

You used

To build the wall

That separates our love

Oh that I could crush

The hands that made them

And eat the hurt

I caused you

Oh that I could raze

That which we created

Instead I face my lover

And see only bricks

Now I work

To change my sins

So God

Can take down

What stands between us

FIDELITY

Much is made

Of this promise

For the body and the senses

Long for experience

As we make the oath

Flesh cries out its anguish

And the mind conspires

The first betrayal

For the promise

Is not of mind

Or Flesh

It is from

Somewhere

Deeper

A place

Where God still dwells

A place

Where spirit reigns

And the world

retreats

We transcend the flesh

We control the senses

We dwell for a time

In a Holy place

Until the day

Flesh and Mind

Reclaim us

And God

Can be no more

Friday night, on a terrace in France.

For the waitress I have a crush on:

1.

Do not think that I am a threat

My heart and aim are true

I’m just not like a table set

I’m more like love renewed.

2.

I could never play it cool

My gift was never that

Instead I break most every rule

With a rabbit and a hat

3.

I think your eyes caught me first

So big and bright were they

They changed the mood and quenched my thirst

And begged my soul to stay

4.

You made me laugh

when I wanted to cry

Your gift was so just right

I’m sorry you have to wonder why

I refuse to leave tonight

5.

Trying to look calm to no avail

The space is to crazy for that

So I grab more bread from out of the pail

And hope you’ll swing by for a chat

6.

I love the way that you dress

So different from the sheep

It’s simple and chic but up to the test

And it makes my knees go weak

7.

I know how to frighten most anyone

It’s easy for me to be sure

I’m staring and silent and the only one

Who’s been watching you cover the floor:

1. For my X

I watched the women come and go

I could not help but compare

But no one could touch your special glow

And remove me from my despair

2.

In the shadow of the cathedral

The sinners gathered in force

I the worst among them

And feeling the heat of remorse

So I sit alone upon the stones

Lost in a quiet refrain

Wishing with every one of my bones

For an end to all of this pain

3.

I could go for a walk and check out the scene

But for me that’s quite old hat

I’d rather do something that’s not as obscene

And tell all these people take that
