If I could see you,
to have one look into your face.
If I could see you,
and hear you speak my name.
If I could see you,
and ’round my chest feel your warm embrace.
If I could see you,
and see your sweet smile again.
If I could see you,
and watch your strong handsome frame.
If I could see you,
and see the wind catch your hair.
If I could see you,
and in a glance catch your stare.
If I could see you…

Speak My Name
When the time has come
Go to our place
Speak my name
And I will appear
Don’t ever think
I’m really gone
Keep me in your heart
And I’ll always be here
This thing we share
Will surpass time
And bring us back
Together again
Though we have parted
By fates design
The love we share
Will never end
In that moment
When we first met
I knew right then
That we were one
With time against us
The future before us
A bond so strong
Can never be undone
Hold to the love
Feed on its strength
Drink it down
To the bitter end
Deep in our hearts
The only truth
Is that we’ll see
Each other again
Eye of the beholder II
you grinned and broke into a smile
watching as you turned this way and that
taking inventory of your robust frame
proud of the BIG man that stands before you
watching as you turned this way and that
caressing your scars and stretch marks
proud of the BIG man that stands before you
holding innocence in the palm of your hand
caressing your scars and stretch marks
spying to see how each line connects
holding innocence in the palm of your hand
longing for love to touch you this way again
spying to see how each line connects
appreciation for your body to long denied
longing for love to touch you this way again
looking to see desire reflected in your eyes
appreciation for your body to long denied
a tear shed in remembrance for a lovers lost touch
looking to see desire reflected in your eyes
the heat of sex appeal ripples over your skin
a tear shed in remembrance for a lovers lost touch
taking inventory of your robust frame
the heat of sex appeal ripples over your skin
you grinned and broke into a smile
Vigilantes Villanelle
In the dead of night
Under cover of darkness
I heed a higher calling and I make wrongs into right
I have you in my sights
Because the call of justice harkens
In the dead of night
Be you warriors of fright
Contemptuous and heartless
I heed a higher calling and I make wrongs into right
To fellow soldiers in the fight
Be strong of will keep senses sharpened
In the dead of night
Terror lives in cowardice so good shall follow light
Nothing can deter my wrath or stop the hand of vengeance
I heed a higher calling and I make wrongs into right
I pray your soul the Lord he takes it
Because I find a way or make it
In the dead of night
I heed a higher calling and I make wrongs into right
Eye of the beholder
I saw you standing there
gazing at yourself in the altogether
you’ve never seen yourself like this before
piercings not born out of the latest fad
gazing at yourself in the altogether
the feel of steel against your skin
piercings not born out of the latest fad
proud of the courage it took to walk your own road
the feel of steel against your skin
cold to the eye but warm from the bodies glow
proud of the courage it took to walk your own road
glad to be the man you were born to be
cold to the eye but warm from the bodies glow
steel & flesh & bone make up your eternal being
glad to be the man you were born to be
no longer shamed by imperfection of the skin
steel & flesh & bone make up your eternal being
created from dust & shaped by man
no longer shamed by imperfection of the skin
you’ve longed to be this content with who you are
created from dust & shaped by man
you’ve never seen yourself like this before
you’ve longed to be this content with who you are
I saw you standing there
Bad Day
I wanna cry till the blood runs from my eyes
Keep on cryin’ till I fall over dead and die
‘cause every moment of this life I live I despise
I wanna go off and walk away, fade on out like the color gray
I woke up and went to work just like usual
Kept the thought of the dream oh so sensual
Hard sex a great BIG man oh so non-consensual
Is this all I’ve got, some dirty dreams and some pot
At nineteen forever you say it’ll never be like this
You’ve got a cool car a few bucks and the taste of your lovers kiss
Your future before you plenty of dreams on your wish list
One day your gonna have it all but watch out for the peel or you might fall
On many nights just like this I get lost in the wonder
Thoughts collide in my brain they crash and thunder
Of a darker nature I’m closer to surrender
Day’s sunny bright skies of blue, I feel my time here is almost through
I hear the darkness calling me into the breach
I run the other way keeping my soul out of its reach
So many lessons learned so many more to teach
Like a little child lost in a well, will salvation come only time will tell
Love Candy
love is getting ready to work
I can feel the sparks between us like Pop Rocks
like 2 sex-crazed teenagers the chemistry hits us
what can be better than this
I can feel the sparks between us like Pop Rocks
sugary sweet and toxic
what can be better than this
can love be easy like simple syrup
sugary sweet and toxic
the touch of love sticks like honey
can love be easy like simple syrup
love should come with a warning label for the heart
the touch of love sticks like honey
its taste bitter like strong medicine
love should come with a warning label for the heart
can too much of a good thing kill you
its taste bitter like strong medicine
a cure-all for the mind, body and soul
can too much of a good thing kill you
they say cupid died from a broken heart
a cure-all for the mind, body and soul
like 2 sex-crazed teenagers the chemistry hits us
they say cupid died from a broken heart
love is getting ready to work
