Grandeur
The night sky's expanse
dwarfs the building, its small lights
consumed by blackness.

Night Sky
The dark blue night clouds
mix with the town's yellow lights
to mottle the sky.

Christmas Eve
The candles are lit,
the lights turned off and we sing
a little sadly.

Hot Tears
Many hot tears flow,
and my body softly shakes
as I just let go.

Dancing
Nothing else matters
when I can let go and dance
to the right music.

Her skin, pale and smooth,
is unbroken by blemish
along her torso.

Sunset XIV
The water reflects
the brightening sky. Against,

From all directions,
red glows and bright white flashes
shine on the bride's smile.

Snow Sneaks In
The evening was clear,
but a white blanket snuck in
over the city.

Belly Dancer
The gaze of her eyes
is dead--her thought taken up
by sensuous dance.

Shower II
The shower droplets
form on my shoulder and pause,
and then slip away.

Blood Tests
Watery crimson
flows in spurts, plentifully,
from my solid arm.
