I feel
truly I do
that you rather revel in this
living such life among
great distances
where as I seem to rebel
against the very existence of
such profound non sense
wouldn't you wish
but to see for yourself
the frank five alarm fire
of this pent up
to the point of crushing
desire
that sends out such sparks
of welcome
in mine magnetic eyes
as such want of you can not long
hide
romantic and fun
it would seem
suit to be the best avenues
for reaching the most intense result
I confess in such lust all a daze
that I am not so terribly brave
in the ultimate private realm
I rather seem to lack the air of happy
confidence in new situations
especially frighteningly intimate ones
once the mental clothes come off
I am struck quite starved and breathless
this must be the mentioned young you heard
in my voice
so then
why does the inept lover in me feel compelled
to do this
be almost painfully forthright
in my every last cataloged fear
such honesty in my soul
likely insists upon it I suppose
I possess such a fantastic secret other life
in all my varied poems, day dreams and thickly
so enthralling fantasies
all but griss for my elaborate mill
that in a sense
is what thankfully feeds
these incredibly incessant cravings
that constantly stalk my ever insatiable
depth............................
