As I Hid

As I hid behind the darkness of Spring's cool night there she stood dreaming

If Ever

.

    And if ever my lips are
               touched
        may it be of your 
           wetness only

          My torso held
       by your arms only

      My legs interlocked
        with yours firmly

       If ever the words
 I love you enter mine ears

                I pray 
from your throat they come

Sexy Taste

.

                tish
                tish
                tish

Mine ears heard past the heavy
              Summer
               Drops
      the sizzle as the wet
               tapped
                Eve’s
              exposed
                flesh

                shhh
                shhh
                shhh

Mine ears heard past the steady
             Thunder’s
                Clap

               eve’s
            quivering
                lips

Her Wave

.

   How strikingly gray
    as the Spring rain 
         plummets 
      to the ground

        The green
        and brown
          all wet
             yet
  no glittering from
    the Sun's wink

         I walk
    not skip today
     and the train
  slowly slips away

        so drifts
       her wave

God's Little Poet

He poked his head
betwix mine write
for the likes of I
to address his query

"Do I blend in
Pops
do my words
sense"

The tears 
fell

Thoughts

.

    Like bolts of lightning I’ve
felt the words from my fingers
              come forth

               My heart
               my brain 
         sparking thoughts

Out of them I dust the books of
           love with words

       I fantasize with paper
                and pen
      I cross fiords and skies
      I cry out loud from the 
       high rocks of the sea
            the bolts riddle
       they rhyme the words
       and charm the hearts
              suspiciously 
   they uncover my thoughts

I Do

.

The maiden's spinneret
            rapidly
         cocooned i

  leaving the spiracle
       for the words

             I do

Burn In Mine Eyne

.

           I thought of the pass of I
                        flooding 
                      your eyes
 
          your strong arms lowering
                    mine casket

              I thought of the daze
                          days
                  you would sigh

         Of the prose and rhymes of 
                        the me 
                  you would cast 

                       Yet here
                          now
                are my prayers to 
            Jehovah God Almighty
             In Jesus Christ name
                           to 
                 relieve the burn 
                   in mine eyne 




*Nathaniel my dear nephew...
  sleep peacefully ;
 *ya know, when Nathaniel wuz the young soul,
   he would belt out(what iz known now'uhdaze 
   az "Rap")wordz which housed from hiz dreamz,
   unto; the future, for what man he understood
   wuz sowing...though i'm not the fan uv the style,
   i listened intently to hiz werdz<-he know'd it ;)

Your Golden Hug

.

       In each other's arms
          tightly embraced
with the warmth I receive from
                 no other

these words from the depths of
             his little heart
        past his precious lips

“I’ve been waiting for this Pops”

         “what’s that son”
whilst wrapped in his warm grip
          was mine query

     “Your golden hug Pops
          your golden hug”

                  Sigh
   az off to school he did trot

My Man

.

        "Am I a man
              Pops"

           "You are
               son

               My 
        Spider man
               My 
          Iron man
         And when 
 I am old and frail son

           I pray

              My
        Superman"
