It came slowly, a tiny sprig
poking out of the earth,
seeking the sun, kissing the rain.
Nurtured by a starving heart.
It spread its limbs around me,
caressing me. Leaves sprouted
brushing my lips tickling my tongue,
promising endless tomorrows....
Too bad it was hemlock.
He held his old dress shirt to his face and inhaled.
Is that her perfume still lingering after all this time?

Why is it I can never finish a dream of her? I guess it's just my heart laughing at me.

under the white oak tree
sharing Cabernet kisses,
long and deep.
You are so lovely painted
in moonbeams and starlight

we drift on a river of desire
as your sweet eyes dance with mine.
The rhythm

Adrift in the
sea of your
bottomles

Floating….
in your long,
gentle curves
Aching...
for your
warm, wet
places.
Drowning...
in an
endless
dream of
you....
I am
gone.
