Ice queen melted
Puddled at your feet
Wanton temptress standing before you
In all her naked splendor
Eyes sparkling with desire
And happiness from the knowledge
Of what is to come

Kissing slowly up
Lips slide on hot puffs of breath
You whisper “More please?”

Tanka for Two

A tanka for two
Written in careful cursive
Soft blue felt tip pen
Gliding across your tummy
Tickling you with poetry

Soft touch of fingers
Sliding across your wet curves
Tracing our outline
I cannot tell where I end
And your satin skin begins

Head up
A periscope,
Glancing over cube walls
All is clear for furtive kissing
Hearts race

No stairs
Elevator
It gives us private space
Sudden and explosive kisses
So hot

Out back
Where smokers smoke
No one there, it’s all ours
Tender lips touch at rivers edge
Time flies

A room
Forgotten, dark
Under a set of stairs
A secret rendezvous for two
Kisses

Slow clock
Painful hours
Go faster, minute hand!
Finally we leave together
Joyful

Dark night
Early morning
Awake with kisses
Another day at work ahead
Dragging

Some cheer
Some disapprove
Must never cross the line
Desires strong, and love — it finds
A way

Fredric sent you a private message
Do you want Rolex?
I practically choked
My boyfriends’ putz keeps slipping out
Now it is possible to have sex more than ten times a day
See my penis pictures as proof
Join to society of real Men

What is the dosage guideline for Wondercum?
I know you’ve thought about it.

Abbey Day

Miles upon miles, road signs pass
I feel distance dwindling
Our hearts are beating closer
Across rivers, valleys, state lines
The long dotted winding roads
Leads me to The Abbey and you

Nervous shaking hands clasped
We get lost in the narrow corridors
The crooked stairs and old window glass
To a room inside a chapel we find
A hundred pillows and lavish quilts
And sense the spirits of saints

The shower floods a room
We laugh with towels all wet
Quickly come to terms we do
With each other’s most intimate gaze
A belonging we never shared
With anyone else in this life

Sweet love made so dearly
Then outwardly we crept to stand
Before the statues of the church
Gaze of old, venerable holiness
We state our vows we already know
Marry each other in the eyes of Heaven

A year ago today my love
In your shiny eyes I see
My own joy and completeness
As we entangled our souls
Entwined as they should be
Forever and for always, I do

She calls out his name
The brown sedan keeps driving
There shines no brake lights

She sits, cold concrete
Does not want to move or talk
He is gone for good

Motor sounds, smell of exhaust
Many shoes crunching endless paths
A bus pulls up, stops

She looks, driver smiles
Doors open and then breathes warm air
Standing, life goes on

Leaden feet carry her
Up three steps, walk down the aisle
Bus seat is grimy

Long hours pass the day
Trip without destination
She stares out window

Familiar streets now
She gets off the bus, walking
Shock, his car is home

Running to the door
He meets her in the doorway
The love is still there

Creatures of shadow, light and dark,
Weighing nearly nothing
Drifting like wind-borne mist
Past the fitted stone and ancient archways
The long grass under the tangled branches.

When the afternoon sun beats down
With the pressure of a dry August heat
They rest in a quiet summer dream
Of past years and childhood games
Of restless yearnings and the touch of someone fond
A time spent long ago.

When the sun drifts down, finally
They stir in the evening twilight
And wander aimlessly, sleepwalking
Dimly aware of who they were
And what they are now.

When footsteps quietly come
To them it drums like thunder
All still, they watch
As a young couple wanders
Arm in arm through the courtyard
Hardly more than children

There’s a hush as they pause and kiss
There’s a rush of life and joy
Then as the two walk aimlessly along, they follow,
They follow along, just follow, watching,
Watching, the night itself watching,
Just watching

As the sun brightens the sky
And as the lovers sleep
They pause to wistfully touch the life
So fresh and so warm
Then drift past the cold archways
And etched stone
To the place they lie dreaming
Just dreaming, holding onto what they’d touched
Until the sunlight melts it away.
