Can’t a woman just like me for my mind…
instead of the inevitable pleasure they will find
at my hand?
Can’t they understand
the mind’s more divine?

I'm Glad You Moved On: Romantic Email Poetry
I’m glad you moved on,
and clicked the “meet me” button.
That means you’re available,
even if you’re just up the hill.
I won’t use forbidden words
You’ve so often heard
to describe you.
They must chide you.
Instead, I’ll offer my selfless heart.
With that kindness, that’s how I’ll start:
Give of my giving self
to pull you off your shelf.
A spontaneous creative man with a young soul,
coupled with a similar woman: Come on, let’s go!
What If You: Romantic Improv Blogging Poetic Lament
What if
your loneliness
pushed me
into a choice
I didn’t want to make yet.
What if,
as I look back on it,
I realize
I chose too soon.
What if
the crying
and goodbyeing
were caused by you thinking
in your mind
it would probably
happen eventually.
What if
I was confused
again
about what I wanted,
where I wanted to live,
how I wanted to be.
What if
you had said
nothing;
had let it play out;
had let me figure me out.
What if
you didn’t know
a few days later
that I’d look at your photos
and want to go
back
to where I was before,
before all the
what ifs
happened.
What if you
were wrong.
Admiration Is Not Stalking: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Poem
After talking again,/
I’ve become such a fan./
I gaze again/
at her profile when/
I can./
But just because I gawk her/
doesn’t make me a stalker/
or a nut,/
does it?
The Taste Of You: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku
The taste of you on/
my lips doesn’t go away/
although you left me.
All Poems Have Been Written: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Poetic Lament
When I told her I wrote poetry, a woman told me “All poems have been written”. This are my poetic responses.
It’s hard speaking of poems from ignorance./
Like saying all great dances were already danced./
Don’t repeat riding thru the glade./
All love is already made.
Later (9 p.m.) I wrote this Haiku
One of the saddest/
and most absurd silly things/
that I’ve ever heard
I Regret Letting You Go: Romantic Improv Email Poem
I regret
that I let
you go.
You know,
I’m not amused.
Just confused.
No meanness intended,
I just extended
my soul
and lost control.
And now I’m here
on email and phone
alone.
It’s the same sad story:
I can just say I’m sorry,
as we both cry
and say goodbye.
Moth to Non-Burning Flame: Romantic IMprov Haiku
Her flaming red hair/
draws me like a moth to flame,/
but her fire won’t burn.
To "Never Enough" Women: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku
“Never enough” is/
not always about her. Guys/
are sometimes confused.
Needing More Than Hugs: Romantic Improv Email Sonnet
Is that all you want? A hug?
Oh, E, oh! I need so much more!
I need you to roll up the rug!
I need us to tear up the floor.
I need to caress your sweet-framed face,
to put you in a trance,
as I glide you from place to place,
in a soft, warm late autumn dance.
And then you’ll take me by the hand,
and lead me where you will:
up stairs, down halls, to promised lands,
where our volcanic intensity thrills.
Where days, weeks, months, years of craving
moves and melts into fun misbehaving.
