A Price To Pay

Is it really you
approaching in mind mists
to kiss and stand
forever bronzed
like shoes on display
stiffly remembering
baby days ...

Is it really you
beautiful, smooth,
chocolate sundae man
of many moods to diffuse
as the mist shifts
to your hands at my throat ...

It is really you
I run to embrace, caress,
undress, possess
in memories' lust
never to ever forget down
an eternal hell hall
that you were all
I ever wanted,
that I craved like a junkie
every ounce of your
touch, your sweat
infusing my soul
with the magic of heat
transcending this earthly plane ...

Is it really you
come to smile and laugh awhile
in a minds' eye,
and therein forever abide
always within
a today and tomorrow ...
