DESIRE, a poem

 

Desire for romance

and new experiences

brought what was wanted

The romance was lovely

while it lasted

New experiences came

and faded

The pleasures thinned

The memories remained

 

 

CANDY BARS (Heiku)

 

Happy memories

The candy bars of old age

I can’t get enough

 

 

DESIRE

 

 

Desire for romance

And new experiences

Brought what was wanted

The romance was lovely

While it lasted

New experiences came

And passed

The pleasures thinned

The memories remained

NEVER MORE

          Alone with my thoughts

          and the memories

          of what once was

          but is no more

          Time and geography

          parted us forever

          so we may remember

          but reconnect, never

         

ONE NIGHT

          She knew with a glance

          she had found romance

          she would seize her chance

          before the night was over

for a lovely phallic dance

          There could be no regret

          She would never forget

          her uninhibited pleasure

of a joy beyond measure

          a memory to treasure

          When her body grew old

          in bed alone and cold

she would long to dream

of that romantic flight

          lasting for just one night
