I sat beside him as he cooled. I touched his hand and stroked his head. Death had come an hour before. They placed him on a hospital bed. I found him on the bathroom floor. There was no pulse or breathing sound. He collapsed behind the wooden door. There was nobody else around. I never got to say good-bye. When I found him he had expired. I had said mean things that day when understanding was required. I looked at his now...

When one is spry and healthy, being alone is not too bad. Though there is no other there is much fun to be had. When aches and pains have started but are not yet too severe, life is still quite manageable even though there’s no one near. When movement becomes harder, and it’s difficult to bend, that’s when one starts to regret the absence of a friend. When pain from doing simple things does make it hard to live, one becom...

Jack was completely calm. As the nose of his aircraft dipped for the final time, as he saw the ground approaching, as he anticipated the impending impact, he felt no fear. Instead there was a serenity that came not just from a belief in the afterlife, but also a satisfaction that there would be complete closure. No more pain. No more depression. No loose ends. Everything resolved. Climactic perfection. Some on the ground...

I swore to you the purest love. You told me that was sweet. I begged for us to live together, and kneeled down at your feet. I pleaded that you take me back. I said, “I need you so!” I cried like I had when a child  so many years ago. I promised this time I would help with food and heat and rent. That you would have the final say on how all cash was spent. I asked you to forgive me for my prior, foolish lies. I looked up...

I saw you and I had no choice. Your heavenly face, your alluring voice. All my waking thoughts were about you. We met and had our intimate talks. We shared romantic beachside walks. I agonized about what I should do. You were young and I was old. My body had become quite cold. I prayed your love might lead to my rebirth. Long ago my desires went. My manly passions had been spent. I hoped you could restore my lost self-wor...

A tree grows and provides pure air. A man grows and consumes it. The tree keeps giving as it ages. The man keeps breathing as his anger rages. A leaf falls one day from a branch. The man has a fall from grace. The leaf lands silently on the ground. The man dies loudly with a rasping sound. The shed leaf feeds a new born oak. The man has an oaken casket. The new oak grows and creates more air. The dead man lies decomposing...

Is it really all that kinky if I offer you my Twinkie and suggest that you could eat it just for fun? If I promise not to trickle when I hand you my big pickle will you share it or just quickly turn and run? I know you’d find it icky if I said your fig was sticky since you got it wet and left it in the heat. And you’d punch me in the chest if I reached out and grabbed your breast so I could get a small taste of your chick...

It is very painful in a sad ironic way, that what can hurt so badly is the thing one does not say. Those alive can hear tomorrow that which should be said. What was never spoken cannot be told to the dead. If you love in silence then love cannot shine its light. Making sure your dear one knows means fewer tears at night.

It takes a desperate man to pursue a woman who thinks that he’s a disgusting, lying pig. My ex-wife Veronica was the woman. I was the man and the pig. “What kind of pervert gives his ex-wife a box of flavored lubricants and a blow-up nun doll for a commemorative anniversary gift?” she shouted. “You are a pathetic pervert!” “Firstly, that’s nice alliteration!” I said. “But heck…can’t you take a joke? It’s a gag gift!” I ha...

It is both wondrous and surreal watching Odette and Odile dancing in the masterpiece Swan Lake. Delicate grace and great technique make my eyes tear and my knees weak as powerful emotions come awake. I can’t describe with any words the dancers moving like the birds each arm aflutter like a feathered wing. I have no way I can convey the painfully sad yet beautiful way the movements make my spirit rise and sing. Of all the...

It was a day when I was blessed as ours eyes met and we caressed and later felt our bodies intertwine. It was a week of sinful pleasures as we shared erotic treasures and you promised always to be mine. It was a month of carnal lust as you and I did what we must to satisfy insatiable desires. It was a year of shared hot tubs and gentle probing body rubs that stoked our never-ending sexual fires. But our passions finally f...

I am a normal modern male in search of a new mate. I use the social media to get myself a date. My web page shows my smiling face with brown hair neatly cropped. (In life I am completely bald; the pic is Photo-shopped.)  I tweet that I’m called handsome by a lot of different folk. (But if you want to Skype and chat I’ll say my cam is broke.)  My Facebook says I cycle, run, and like to box some rounds. (That’s true but I c...

Another year has now arrived, the prior one has past. I’m glad that I’ve again survived, and hope this year isn’t my last. Resolved: I’ll eat the foods I should in portions of reasonable size. Resolved: I’ll run and stretch real good and do other great exercise. Resolved: I’ll give my thanks and pray and be true to His holy spirit. Resolved: I’ll do some good each day and do nothing that might queer it. But even as I spea...

You lie beside me.All my fears then disappear.I have all I need.The smallest caress.It awakens my passion.It fuels desire.Loving lips, soft hands.A tongue gently caresses.Two release as one.Then deep sleep for both.The sun greets in the morning.Warm just like you are.
