And then there
was Gabe the
one who saw
me and I
him we as
men who love
men are only
ever lucky when
we meet a
guy who sees
the boy when
everyone else only
sees the man
find that guy
and spend as
much time as
you possibly can
just being boys
Category: Falling in Love
Awhile
I do remember
now I remember
that first fall
morning when outside
we saw trees
enflamed by the
summers sun at
long last igniting
into dizzying colors
you seeing first
being in front
and I second
being in back
roaming your torso
with cautious hands
and laying little
almost guppy kisses
on your back
not too many
as to shake
leaves from trees
let us let
this be awhile

It’s mostly about sex
most everything is nowadays
maybe it’s been that
way for a long
time but I being
a lover still believe
that love is everything
maybe sex and love
are the same things
having now enjoyed each
no I think sex
is like an anchor
keeping you in place
at least until it’s
time to set sail
but love is like
a balloon already on
its way to somewhere
and only ever lands
when it’s gotten there
JustThen
I honestly can’t say
which I like better
sunrise or sunset with
you the day belongs
to others but us
the beginning and end
is only ever reserved
for what we have
it’s the morning for
me night for you
but it’s the kisses
the kind and often
wanton kissing that takes
us both into then
IYouCoffeeToo
I smelled my sunrise
this morning before seeing
its warm rays wafting
from the other room
following the bewitching aroma
I lumbered through rooms
and hallways to discover
my enchanter standing over
a percolator conjuring mysteries
wearing my yesterday’s shirt
approaching from behind him
like a curious vine
wrapping around his back
clinging to his front
I dryly kiss throat
as his head leans
forward and then back
like a scale measuring
the weights of affection
in unison we whispered
I you started this
and yes we did
whether it be coffee
or even this our
own type of dawn
