IT
by John lawless
IT
IT resides there,
hidden,
beneath a corner
of my heart.
Sharp barb of
parental
growing pains
piercing
the joy
of youthful

she nestled
in my arms
sleepily succumbing
to trust,
tiny hands
clutching calloused
fingers.

by John Michaels
As rippling horizon
douses fiery orb,
you are at your
most alluring.
Ethereal,
diaphanous limbs
stretch out,
reach for me,
beckon to me.
Barely audible murmurs,
laced with
forbidden promises,
cross the distance
between us.
Whispers become
more insistent,
more urgent,
