From a past near forgotten
You transcend time and space
Reacquainted in passing
Your beauty awaits
What once was pure myst’ry
Might now be revealed
As we hear the soft knowing
And feel what we feel
Come into my garden
And smell the black rose
Dive into the passion
And find your repose
Slow-moving streams
Light’s fulfilling thought
Nothing’s as it seems
In chocolate-flowing dreams
Rich, vibrant, savory
Dark, warm, alive
Open to the place
Where only love survives
Brave a taste of life
Leap into the nook
Let blandness disappear
Where glory’s not forsook
Be present in your place
Devour the waiting feast
Let passion rule your mind
Unleash the haunting beast
No longer can you wait
Dessert invites your fate
Nothing’s as it seems
In chocolate-flowing dreams
What is life devoid of flavor?
Who can exist on water, air, bread, alone?
The dark elixir beckons.
The darkest truths await.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Wonka’s tumble in the sun
Your just desserts don’t have to wait
Hurry, finish what’s on your plate…
The mind awakens in the taste
The fire burns the ready soul
Clear the thoughts and please the tongue
Travel to the place that’s whole
Dancing, writhing, moaning, full
Savor passion’s waiting thrust
Taste the tastes that fill your mouth
Deserving to the pure and just
Dismiss the thought that life’s been lived
That all that can be tasted has
Open heart, mind, mouth, and soul
And redefine belief of whole
Feel beyond what’s yet been felt
Taste the darkness, feel the heat
Ecstasy still lies beyond
The thought that life is known and neat
Unleash the you that’s waiting still
Close your eyes
Feel
Dream
Taste
Be
Slow-moving streams
Life’s fulfilling thought
Nothing’s as it seems
In chocolate-flowing dreams

do not mistake
my kindness
for weakness
for infortiftude
for a lack of fire, verve, strength
i am beauty
i am softness
i am flight
i am love
and yet
i am the tower
stretching to heaven’s gate
i am the root
of the ancient redwood
i am the wave
crashing on the beach
beneath the timeless cliffs
of eternity
i am creation
i am destruction
i am the fullness
of masculine ardor
of writhing passion
of unmaskable longing
of unshakable truth
so
do not mistake
my kindness
for a lack
of pure and utter passion
of towering strength
of masculine perfection
i
am man
Sweet surrendering moments
Filled in our hearts’ golden song
Tempting fresh aura
of your waiting presence
of butterscotch sensations
Smoldering ancient visions
Passion’s heat arriving
in universes exploding new
Taste, touch, feel, know
all that two desire
Vaulted expectations
released wishes
Eternity delivering at truth’s velocity
Two hearts wandering no more
Found in the melody of One great love
She flows as the wind
Gently caressing
My skin, my heart, my essence
Enlivened
In unspeakable passion
I am incinerated
Only my ashes remain
Awakened from the dream
In her soft and wise words
My everpresent angel
Life is color
Seen through her eyes
Life is joy
Felt through her heart
Life is truth
Known through her Light
Life, wonder, loveliness
In the presence of my angel
She flows in the winds
Touching
Knowing
Living
As one
