Bedtime, Sunday

At first we howled
and howled....

our laughter
wild, so crazy
loud.


(There are places
on earth
where we'd
be jailed

for the way
our noises
did assail

the once,
oh so silent,
dreamy night..)


and then somehow
shot outside thought's
tight realm, I fell

down into your
creamy
lips and thighs


which swept us
up in soft
moans and
sighs,


as I kissed you
deep and long,
hot lust burned

our pink asses
ablaze with
unmild yearning,

broke through
crusts of old
stale armor

to crest and erupt
in animal
song!


And then,
your shrieks
of joy lifted

our pleasure

beyond the bed
and room,

far far

from mere
human measure


where we orbited
in the sweetest
cosmic spinning


until quite
exhausted
and guiltily
grinning,


our new love
nest shone

next to a silvery
moon,


a wet 
crescent

of such
perfect
quiet,


we collapsed
gratefully
into this,


our lovers' swoon.

A Chant To Leap By....

Real faith

is allowing

 

ourselves

to know,

 

in our

deep

bones

 

that,

 

through 

unseen 

space,

 

we are

 

forever

 

free-falling.

Walk After Blood Ritual

The dark tree shines
with silver light

just a few feet
off the wet
and muddied
path.

It reveals itself
through sheeted
rain like a full

moon rising
over the far hill,

and I am stunned,
delighted by such
radiant glistening
beauty.

Ahhh..to be met
here so brightly
in these lush
Irish woods

with such a subtle
uncovering.

I stand rooted
and tall,

a new man
thankful
and happy,

my good heart
softened by this
shimmering gift

of surprisingly
clear sight.

Hiking Otay Mountain

i slipped the day-pack off
my sturdy shoulders,

and, smiling with the day,
lay flat on my back
on a small soft patch

of green, a steep
boulder strewn hillside
stretched far above,

the slender seductive
gorge beckoning
below.

i gazed up as in an easy
dream, the clouds

grazed lazily across
great fields of sky

and i offered my puny self
to the wondrous
silent moment

and the tantalizing promise
of rain, a scent of
wetness in the wings,

nourishing and
freeing for
all that is

or will be

on this
amazing
earth.
