Our garden is overgrown. The grass is tall and weeds choke out the sun. We stand here in the shade looking for a path through all of this, seeing, how, in our innocence, and frightened of aloneness, we held each other’s hearts too tight, and now, it hurts so deep in us, this holding on, we cannot speak. The fruit you offered me that afternoon was good-- the light shining in our eyes, on our eager faces, the laughter as we...

It’s such a shameWe never touchedOr heard the other speak It’s such a shameWe fell apartBefore we got to meet It’s such a shameWords on a screenWere all the love we knew And such a shameThose words are goneIn cyberspace, with you.

You felt it  So did IWe both know what it wasA sound that isn’t heard  Signals the end of love A mating call reversedCoupling undoneA sound that isn’t heardThat says we’re not in love A note that speaks of emptinessLike an abandoned homeNot of an open spaciousnessBut something there, then gone With each two, it is differentNever twice the sameBut clearly recognizableWhen it strikes again A knell of such finalityA whole th...

I hold in my handsA letter from you -Words on paperNot read -Heard -Hearing, hearingNeeding quiet -I fold by halfAnd yet by half again -Your words piling upon themselvesTumbling -Sliding together -Tighter -Folding and folding -Pressing away from me -Meaning lessHearing lessCurves and lines of words foldLines fold into curves fold into lines fold into curvesAnd at lastFold into quiet.

Thank you, for the wonderful year you gave me. For the love that you rained down upon me For the time you spent patiently waiting for me For all you gave of yourself, to me. I know you loved me completelyThank you for all the hard work you put into it, I know it wasn't easy to watch me try to destroy myself I'm thankful that you stood by and put me back together piece by piece. Each and every time holding the pieces in pl...

The darkness encircles my heart And meets itself on the other side Sadness and pride compete To be the dominant emotion I know what you had to do You are the stronger of us two  Live your life  You have added to mine

My lost love, I just have to envision you, To become turned on by the view. Thoughts of us together gives my heart a faster beat, My body tingles and shakes as I feel your heat! It is as if I melt when we touch tongue tips, Drawing me yet closer as we join our wet lips. Fly with the eagles do I when you whisper teases in my ear, Getting us ready to create a world of no fear! Thoughts of our bodies makes us scream As wild...

I open up with all that I am. I give you every ounce of me. You give me your hands Your passion Your touch You strangle me with emotions With lies with untruths. Pushing deeper Thrusting into my soul you take something from me I want it back It’s gone. You took it.

Robert walked along the flat beach, his bare feet splashing in the shallow warm water, his carry-on bag over his shoulder with its normal load - his camera, sandals, binoculars, book, sun block and room key. His job was to stay out of the hotel room for an hour and a half while his wife practiced her yoga. It was another tropical day in Mazatlan. Robert found a rock near the water’s edge and took a seat, training his bino...
