L'amour

*******

dark chocolate cognition
      the taste is that to dream of
           I sit and dream for hours
           cold showers
      cold showers
cold showers
      but still I dream
           of dark chocolate
if only this was on my lips
      sucking and loving
           every last bite
at night it's the worse
      a delivery's only a
           telephone call away
           caramel centers
           melting in your mouth
oh sweet dark chocolate
every taste
every
                     over
      and I throw the wrapper away

*******

the sunrise sings sweetly
since our skin's sweating
froze the forgetting
remembering everything
      every last detail
      iced on the top
      don't stop don't stop don't stop
      when you're on top
      love you love you a lot
where did you come from
where are you to
where can I catch back up with you
      when you're within the skin
      it only begins
      unless it's a sin
but you kissed goodbye
you called hello
obviously that means something
      love ya love ya love ya a lot
           science
           you read
           so eloquently
           with such grand
           vocabulary
      to each his need
      you breathe and breathe
      communism
      into fruitation
      savoring such sweet sensation
sunrise
I realize
I'm alive
when can I arrive
to lie one more time inside

*******

you float into me
with excitement written on your face
           or so you said two days later
God pulled it this way
drinking dazed in the days
as we lazed between lays
           dreaming away
           in Zen
           thoughtless and timeless
you're comfortable to lay with
that might not seem important
but it makes me joy
                it's important
                you say
a qualifier
for fear it'll go the wrong way
                and you laugh and say
                it's the same way
                with you
           sunrise
      slowly slides across the sky
      being one with you
      as God intended
      slide slide across sky
      until it is done
and we lay comfortably

*******

seeing so it seems
you're a dream of a beam
yellow and green
with blue hidden too
           a castle of sand
           at the end of the land
           I'm beginning to understand
      she creates and dispose
      all of her clothes
      shielding bruises built by blows
well what do you know
that's where you should go
'cause where else would you go
           the sun settles down
           and the surf screams loud
           but the building was always bound
well, it's a nice night
might even be right
but at least there's starlight

*******

sunshine slips and slides
      through the bark and leaves
as you pedal ahead
      underneath
      above the cool concrete
we ride and ride and ride
      into dusk
      as if a must
                water, you say
                as you pull aside
                clenched in your hand
                pouring into your mouth
                hydrating spiritually
           you smile
this is not innocent
but intense and forbidden
      holy and secretitive
      as we ride farther and farther
      side by side
      or in a line
      however opposing traffic decides
to follow and swallow
      long dark legs cyclical movement
      forward and upward
      backward and downward
      as her hips remain
           seated and steady
           willing and ready
and besides
      we chat about idle, simple things
      but not like the old things
      as we read between the lines
      laughing, aware in the other's
                ability to read between
      but keep reading between
           because it sweetens
                and heightens
                     the sensation of
                          the strawberry
                          dying to be
                          sucked, smothered, and swallowed
the riding and riding and riding
      tremendous and tiring
      intense and inspiring
           as you smile and speak softly
                illuminated by
                steadily sporatic slips of sunshine
