Watch the Hooves

How
can something
so beautiful
be so terrifying?
I don’t understand
this fear I feel
and yet
their beauty
still shines through.
Gentle creatures
my ass.

The Invitation

A quiet rustle
a whisper beacons
“come and play”
it says to me.
Instinct warns
“do not go in”
but the Faery dance
will soon begin.
In I delve
to dance and play
and while away
another day.

Confession

I miss it
the sweet and fuzzy
smiley warmth
the tingle of lips
and purring voice
I miss the lazy
languid buzz
Capt’n Crunch munchies
and a relaxing
little doze.

Once upon a time, I loved the green. The thing is, though? It’s not good for me. It counter acts my anti-depressants, creating a dangerous situation as it’s my anti-depressants that keep the suicidal urges at bay.  The hangover… the aftermath effects… it’s not worth it.  But, I still miss it.     Just sayin’.

The Nuzzle

Just one breath
an inhale made
and suddenly
you
are within me
your scent
your strength
your touch
drawn in deep
a calming balm
on the soul.

Heliotropism

I turn to you
like a flower
to the sun
stretching into
your nurturing
and strength
as you help me
to grow
into a better man.

Thank you for last night, my love.  I really needed your help to see things differently.  I might still be struggling to fully grasp everything we talked about, but the new perspective has found rich soil in which to grow, I think it just needs some more encouragement in order to flourish.
