I listen to your silence
Brought across miles
By my disappearance
From your life
An absence forced on me,
The unwilling,
Seemingly silent participant,
Speaking words
Burned on pages
Yearning to be heard
Falling on deaf eyes,
Supposedly blind
To my forays,
Nothing seen
Nothing heard
I listen to your silence
— glb
her heart is all i want
until I start thinking about…
her mind
goes where her heart goes
agile and intelligent
intellectual and mysterious
a pleasure to be with
an adventure in itself
her face
beautiful and infinitely expressive
a world of imagination in every look
I imagine spending hours caressing
her cheek
her eyes
hiding and revealing in each smoky glance
to be lost in them
is to be found
those luscious lips
erotic to kiss
sensitive to body, mind and soul
a gateway to worlds unknown
quick with a quip
subtle and supple
her neck
draws my interest
I would kiss it constantly
to the peril
of neglecting all else
hands
strong
gentle
softly holding my soul
her eyes shoot sparks into
the universe
with those hands
she pulls endless stars
from oblivion
building mountains of light
beckoning me
entrancing mind
enthralling my soul
everything else
is pure imagination
and supposition
a known and unknown
quantity
of pleasure
of love
of lust
of promise
— glb
I crave new space,
the ability to unpack
my head,
my heart,
my soul,
into a place
no one has
ever lived
I crave a place
without memories
I crave
boxes full of me
piled in the
middle of the room,
my life’s story
pouring out
to meet
someplace original
I crave
my own noise
my own solitude
my own company
my own first times
— glb
hold me now and please
don’t let me go,
i’ve come a long way
this day and all
i want is sleep
but, your eyes are bright
and inquisitive
so i will stay up,
we can talk for a while
put you hand in mine
feel it tremble with our
fingers entwined
i am not as i once was
i am not as expected,
i am as i fully am,
there’s nothing to
hide from you,
i couldn’t do it
if i tried
i have had days
confusing days
that i barely emerged from
i mean to tell you
about them,
explain them to you
from my perspective
my hope is that
in telling you my tale,
you will know something
more about me
if i am successful
you will know where
i come from,
the fires that made me,
and the demons that
still haunt me
give me a kiss
on my cheek
when you are ready
to begin
— glb
aimless
seeking guidance,
a way to break
this stasis
change for the sake of
well-being,
forward momentum,
movement in any
direction
yearning for
sparks of intuition
my path to the stars
— glb
it is you…
