must love rainy days
adventure
pumpkin carving
and unexpected kisses

must be tolerant
of jimmy stewart
and bob dylan
the other men in my life

no height
weight
or hair color requirement
but big hearted weirdos
who smile for no reason
are always welcome

no
racist
sexist
homophobic persons
or those who say baby
as a term
of endearment

i like my coffee bitter
and my men sweet
never
the other way around

lopsided grins and kind eyes can get you everywhere

if similar in tempermant style or appearance to
the doctor
david bowie
mickey mouse
or jesus
please contact immediately

must be accepting of
raucous laughter
black and white films
cold feet
and occasional insomnia

i am always late
rarely refined
and have almost no perception
of the volume of my own voice

in junior high i asked a girl to stop picking on another child

she told me to go fly a kite

it was not until much later that i realized she was insulting me
not offering ideas
for an enjoyable way
to spend the afternoon

my hair is an untamable beast
but when fashioned properly
can be wrapped about my face
to create a rather fetching beard

i enjoy being scared
and am not easily so
unless you are a bug

i talk in my sleep
never know what day it is
and cry while reading good books

i just want
to hold your hand
in a crowded theatre
while we wait for the scene
at the end of the credits

and to be able to tell you
i love you
Hope you like it! (:

Full of life
the fire surged through the glade
hips swayed, lips splayed
pushing up leaves and leaving
a smile that found a better home
at forty than at twenty

those castaway eyes
glistened with hopes
two Lost might cling to,
broken flotsam
on the heaving chests
of hurt youth

We met our end,
eyes shut as tightly
as a loving mothers tuck,
burnt in the glade

I can write a book about you
When you don't even know my favorite color, it's blue
The same feeling I get when I am missing you
I don't know why but also when I am *with you

Idiosyncrasy
The stars are out tonight,
I wonder if we wish on the same star,
I wish on the brightest star in sight,
And wonder if we wish the same this hour.

All the stars were what I wished for,
All the stars and you,
But they say to me you are not for,
I see the rain in your eyes fall too.

When all the words rhyme
And everything's the right sign,
I guess we'll have our time
When all the stars align.
I sat at door of bathroom wishing he would open it. I banged for hours trying to wake him up. I started panicking, I couldn't breathe.. I cried hysterically rummaging the room looking for a small object to use as a key. Nothing.. I couldn't find anything. Think. Think.. What am I going to do now? Okay, think.. I started shoving the door with my right shoulder and it hurt so bad but I couldn't stop, not until the door was open. It started cracking then it broke with the **** hanging off. I pushed the door open but his body was in the way of me completely opening it. My eyes began to fill with tears as I started screaming his name for him to wake up. I pushed the door open as much as I could and entered. The sight was horrifying.. He laid there pale with a spoon on the floor and a needle still stuck in his arm. I slowly took the needle out of his vein on his left arm. Was he dead? I weeped, banging on his chest. Wake up.. please.. Instantly I turned the shower on. I grabbed him by his upper body and got him in enough for the water to hit him. Nothing.. He wasn't moving, he wasn't breathing.. I slammed the water off and started dragging him into the bedroom. I laid on his lifeless body. He was cold.. My baby was so cold.. God I needed him just as much as he needed his fix. I didn't want to be in this alone. I didn't want to be alone. I used the broke down hotel phone and called the ambulance. I kiss his forehead and walked out the room. I tried to take a deep breath of fresh air but it just felt like I was swallowing a gigantic pill. I started gasping for air and my stomach went into knots. Him dying wasn't the hardest part, walking away was...

I've seen bodies aching,
freshly groomed,
seeking to fill the void with
touch.
Sleeping under vibrant bouquets
of drowsiness and lethargy.
I can see the figure in my future
He's drowning in the plants of lust
But I should wait until that time.
I must, I must, I must.

He loosened his hold.

He'd been hanging on for so **** long.

Finally, the realization hit after so many lies had been told.

He let go, knowing that it had always been wrong.

And it was a bold move, but the cold inside was suddenly removed.

He felt more free than he had in such a long while.

He slowly walked away, proudly showing off his freedom smile.
