Bedeviled

I love you love
I love you 
so much so 
my blood boils 
just to hear your name. 
I am the worst kind of fool.
 Love sick and alone. 
I fell in love with you forever. 
And I enter each day in love 
and exit it still in more love for you. It's my hell, 
To Bedeviled by loves spell.   
I can go on and on
 with my laundry list of woes,
But will you wash them?
Hang them with care on your clothesline 
and let the sun 
and wind dry them. 
Care for me 
as you would a delicate shirt. 
Or slam it on a rock
 And twist it into a knot
And Ring it dry of love. 
Till all is left is a rag
Unfit for wear. 

Adam and eve of Montrose harbor

The lake was purple
with sparks of orange fire 
shooting off of it. 
It was morning,
and as the sun rose 
the light shone 
on what we had done. 
We laughed at the newness of day,
we laughed at the nudeness of us. 
And having bitten 
from this fruit of knowledge 
we were embarrassed 
and we got redressed. 
delight
Had shown thru our shame 
and still we laughed.

Moon dust

We smashed the moon!
she exclaimed.
 As the sun rose 
and was just cresting in front of us  on the lake. 
I can't remember the previous night but bits and flashes.  
But I can smell sex on my lips 
and fingers.
There was an empty bottle 
Of Malibu rum next to me
And I knew. There will be pain. 
I drove her home 
There was niceties 
Exchanged
And a kiss
Still
The night escapes me. 
At home I emptied 
My pockets
only to find
Silver 
sandy
Moon dust.  

To love some one from far away

To be loved by some one
 from far away 
Is to hear them
in the trees 
And when the wind blows
Or in a passing thought
Or in a dream that you forgot
You feel them
 as the warmth of the sun
And As you bathe
in the cool waters of their heart. 
My love is all around you my love
As close to you as the clothes you put on. 
And as distant from you
as the star you make a wish upon.
