BLOSSOM ON THE SHORE AND OTHER SMALL POEMS
blossom on the shore
a tropical wildflower...
darkly beautiful
-----
heed the summer breeze
learn of her ancient wisdom...
as she speaks of love
-----
fingers in petals
turning each pastel page...
seductive story
-----
lovers keeping time
her sighs echo the minutes...
with strokes at midnight
-----
looks into her eyes
sees her desires with his soul...
her beautiful needs
-----
i thought you loved me
which meant that you trusted me...
i guess i was wrong
-----
likes the tame poems
cut from my herd of wild ones...
she reads silently
-----
taste the words i write
dripping warm honeyed nectar...
written about you
-----
lovely word cuddle
evoking warmth and pleasure...
intimate repose
-----
blushing not with shame
but with heat of secret fires...
she fears to reveal
-----
gods forgot my name
wiped it from their memories...
yet recall my words
-----
wonder where i failed
what old gods did i offend...
that they deny me
-----
won't say what she does
with the oil book and candles...
yet she smiles after
-----
