I.
Let it not be said that my heart is a well
only of winter.
My writings, my many love letters,
show that my heart is a place of storms.
My friends, my beloved conspirators,
you have seen my adoration,
"For that girl, that beautiful girl; her dress's
clinging makes you shake when you see it,
and I laugh for joy."
II.
In my heart, cool, and many chambered,
may she find refuge.
Let us become acolytes of Artemis, true
Amazons, warrior-poets of the wild city,
and the stretches of sand and mesquite.
Let us grow an olive grove together, and
come together in the hollow of the blessed
tree. Let me kiss her hands and brin
My tampered heart
argues out a snaking fire that
erects my limbs to stupidity as my palms
produce a sparkling spring of dry sweat.
My fingers tickle
with curiosity as they trace your
route of curves meanwhile my toes dip in satin and fiddle with
anxiety.
My lips vacillate at
my options, receiving involuntary mummers
and my impatient tongue boils with irritation as every muscle in
my soul spasms in ecstasy.
Your movements
Jolt in a seductive
rhythm that massages my skin with
frequenting ripples that stimulate and tease me.
Your fingers

respectful and apologetic
in their step; fulfilled by the varyin
He must be a god, who sits near
enough to listen to the loveliness
of your laughter, and the sweetness
of your voice. My breast is bursting
with blood eager to reach
each fingertip of my clenched fist.
Even a glimpse from across
the room can make me forget
how to speak, how my tongue
moves between my teeth.
And immediately a silken flame
burns underneath my skin,
my vision darkens, a clamor of ringing
fills my ears, I become damp
with fever, and my body is seized
by trembling.
Then I am paler than winter
wheat, and in this fit of madness
I am little better than dead.
And, though it all is foolishness, still
I will te
Though not unlike a god he appears to be,
This man beside you, taken by your laughter
And sweet gentle speech. Gazing upon you (sigh)
I fall to pieces.
Aching heart rages to break free from its breast,
Parched this mouth, tied this tongue, rapid this fire
That rushes through the veins of these legs and arms,
Ears fill with drums, drums.
And the darkest of nights falls upon my eyes,
Skin weeps and glistens upon my brow and lip.
Lost of senses, I tremble, so powerless,
All with your smile.
Paler than the dying grass
I appear
To await a pleasing death.

If Only I Could Make Her See...
I honestly do not wish to sleep
Maybe I just fell in too deep
I know she would just be waiting in my dreams
Waiting to hear all of my screams
As I cry out to her
I want what we once were
But I know that will never again be
I keep saying "If only I could make her see..."

On Lesbian Poetry
Sometimes you thought of nubile young girls, nude,
exploring Love's aroused experience.
with winsome adolescent innocence.
The slow dance of caresses and of kisses
inspired soft sighs, or cries of untold blisses.
Some have crudely condemned your book as lewd.
Therein you brought each pastel memory
into the stanzas of your poetry:
three lines, eleven---one, five---syllables,
to be identified as your own measure
(in time's course), as conveyance of your soul's
imagination to the reader's pleasure.
Your signature, not quite anonymous,
glows, in your poems, shyly eponymous.
