How could I know that the flames you ignited
Within my soul that were carelessly started
With words and intentions that hotly incited
Every passion within me that arose to the fore,
Were only an arsonist's plaything, a lark
Incendiary visions displayed in the dark,
Leaving me scorched, yet wanting for more? - 1999
The memories that we hold most dear
The ones that keep us warm at night
Are not the ones when living them
Were realized at the time. - 2004

I pour myself into your eyes
And through mine I
Travel into your soul;
Your little mouth, so delicate
Tempts mine, I can't help
Devouring you whole.
Sometimes
Sometimes when I look at you,
I see you as you were.
The Eygyptian pharaoh,
With long neck
And fine extremities, your
Regal bearing tells it all.
But that was many lifetimes ago,
Your physicality just
The shadow from before.
In this time frame, circa now,
You are an island boy
With dark eyes shining and
Lean, brown body from above;
I catch my breath, smell sea breezes,
And feel the sand on my back,
As we are making love. - 2002
When I look deep into your eyes
You ask me what I see.
The answer's very simple:
The other part of me. - 2003
When I wonder if we can make it
So many challenges to face
Mid-Life Forever Lovers
Inspired by Childhood's grace.
Everyday life and problems
And differening points of view
Wondering, with my idyosyncracies
If I'm being fair to you.
Are we right for each other?
Do you think that it will last?
Relationships are fragile
We can't obliterate the past.
Your self-assured expression
Helps erase my tears,
Your answer that you have no doubt
Calms my deepest fears. - 2005
