Obsession Confession

It all started last summer

When her friends had a bummer

And the film made more money than Jim's "Dumb and Dumber"

With her lips so alluring

Those brown eyes so assuring

I could feel something grow - something strong and enduring

I came back for the sequel

I would pay for the prequel

When it comes to disarming, this girl has no equal

I would see three and four

Even though I hate gore

Yes, yes, I realize I'm becoming a bore

So I guess I'll get to it, and of course you knew it :

I still wanna do it with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

ORGAN

an ode to jim morrison

...IS that it?

Morning Shower

 

I rose at the prepubescent dawn

Strode dutifully into the waiting wet chamber

And conquered my matriculating thesis.

Meltdown

You smoldered away all my clever defenses

caressing them tenderly with the words of an angel ~

your words

gently healing the wounds that caused them with the softest of angel lips ~

your lips

melting them one by one with Heaven's purest love ~

your love

ON DEVELOPING A NEW APPRECIATION FOR MATH

(WITH TWINS)

two of you

plus one of me

equals thrice the ecstasy

POST-COITUS

i survey the wreckage of my loins

wobbly flesh

bent carnage

half eaten tuna fish sandwich

Ode to Ophelia

. . I think that I shall never be as pure as when I hug a tree

I do it for the Lady Fair ~ Ophelia, with the flaxen hair

She says that if I do it right, If I really hug it tight

Satisfaction will be mine ...And so I venture out, at nine

I find a tree that doth invite, I go right up and hug it tight

I feel a warmth inside me rise ~ Yes, this is the utmost prize

And so for this, Unbound, I say ~ Everyone, hug a tree today!

This is one of yer basic "word magnets" poems, using words only from "Alice in Wonderland"

VERy CHeSHiRE

caterpillar smoke said the knave

hookah of hearts

big sleep

mad card

eat me, Alice

This one was written as a submssion to my buddy Xin's (of Xin's Asylum - see Links) second Acronym poetry contest -

Descending Knight

Excessive lack will injure beauty
Shifting sighs, unhappy,
praying softly and lonely inside
quelling cruel gestures...
Descending knight, your tyranny revolts.

TORTURE

i don't want the missionary edge

i don't need it

don't need the wide-eyed miracle

don't need the chill

or the savage crime

or the chain of tomorrow

or the barriers of my legend

burning

blazing

smothering in flames around me

i need you.

Ode to Mira Sorvino

Mira, Mira, there's the wall

String me up, we'll have a ball

I think I think about you much too much these days

I'm pulling double duty in oh so many ways

LIke 2 times in the morning when I'm a sleepy head

And 2 times in the shower before I have my daily bread

And sometimes after breakfast while I'm running 'round the block

I have to stop to catch my breath which aint 'cause I'm a jock

And later in the morning when I'm working on my book

I feel the rite a-calling and I have to take a look

Then sometimes in the afternoon while I pay my bills

I have to stop to cop a set of even-cheaper thrills

This longing that I've got for you really isn't fair

When I'm taking out my trash I need a change of underwear

And later in the evening I'm awake to beat the band

I'd say my solo symphony has gotten out of hand

Yet come tomorrow morning I'll be at it once again

I guess I'll break the damn routine and start off in the Den.

Ode to Love

You will find the Love you seek ~
The true Love, the pure Love,
The Love you so obviously deserve
and are worthy of ~

All of life is a preparation
to receive That Love
Whenceforth it comes
and come it will,
but in its own time
and when it's meant to be

Know this
Embrace this
Breathe it with your every breath
And inside you it shall reside,
anticipating
its sweet release.

Inspired by the Fair Ophelia

no cavities

I went to the dentist and he told me

Life is an angel's kiss dipped in chocolate

then he said I had no cavities and

sent me on my merry way

Ode to My Love

I love you in a way
that transcends all barriers and time
for that is how I love -
That is what love is - -
That's what it does - - -
It transcends ...
It transports...
It transforms us ~
Releases us from our barriers of aloneness
and makes us one -
makes us whole again.
