Dreams - May 30th - maybe not for work

naked, standing on her knees, lips slightly parted, she called to me from the other bed.
Are you a little shy?
Of course, I respond,
I have a pillow covering my nakedness.
her girlfriend looks up at me, she is naked as well and laying on her belly,
but we are all doing it.
I hadn't noticed the others. and she laughs a little. I notice the others.
Look at how they do it differently, the women caressing each other, the men already in rutt, and the mixed couples and groups, well, they are somewhere inbetween.
and her girlfriend laughs a little.
Don't you think it a little unnatural that how we are socialized to act in public naturally transfers to how we act when we are trying to be totally natural? all the men fucking, even the ones getting fucked and all the women giving and receiving...caresses. and what do you want? no one talks about what you want. only what we want. only what he wants. tell me what you want.
you're right, no one talks about what we want, but it's not so different than what you want - it's probably just the same...as you want, but not as you do. you do the opposite of what you want and what you do. Exactly the opposite of those opposite things - probably right inbetween. and then give me the pillow.
she takes the pillow
if you are still shy, you can cover yourself with myself and we will only look into each others eyes and maybe want something...special.
she lays on top of me. her girlfriend is walking away - towards a bed with only sheets moving.
what do you want?
I only want to hold her and I feel a tightness rising, pulling(?), in my throat - I'm about to cry. I only want to hold her, hold her so that I'm not sure who's on top - only that my arms encircle her. I am on top and protecting her or on the bottom taking comfort in the curve of her neck and small of her back. We roll to our sides and she rolls her knees up so that they press against my stomach - not my belly, because I am thin in my dreams, but I notice this as well, this and my long hair - She is not pushing me away, but I still feel the sadness swelling in the throat. and ashamed, I am ashamed. her arms fold between her knees and she is fetal. and I want to bind her there, with my hands but I can tell I am being too rough, I'm about to start crying. and I am ashamed. I don't know why. But I have to make it up to her. I kiss her forehead. two fingers start at the base of her neck and follow the curve of her spine. lightly though, like my breath on her forehead. she shivers a little and my arm caressing her back tightens on her side to let her know that I am here. my body is here, not just my breath. my fingers follow her back, slip between her buttocks, but do not linger until they reach her clitoris. they slowly circle it, without touching it. sometimes brushing it, grazing it. I can sense the position breaking, her positon is breaking, she is starting to shiver. I kiss her forehead, her eyelids,the tip of her nose, her lips. but not parting her lips, just lightly brushing them, hoping my breath might part her lips.
I don't feel like crying, I am not ashamed, but i am not...alive. I've become mechanical. I can't say this is not what I want because I don't want anything for myself, except for her to feel good to feel loved. Her position breaks and I feel a moist heat like a puff from where her arms and thighs pressed against her stomach and breasts. and I can smell her, like a cake baking in a cold kitchen - air sweet and heavy with moisture. she feels all the things I want her to feel, my body feels her every moment and I lose my tenuous hold with time, or rather, sequence. hands pinning her arms behind her back, hand binding hers above her head, two pairs of arms spread wide to our sides. all happening at once and over and over again. I have penetrated her, haven't I? Some time I did, didn't I? yes, my hands say yes, but she is holding my hands behind my back. and once again I am just holding her. she is happy and i don't hant to, but I know what I want, I want to hold her. and I am. and she lets me. and even though I am sleeping, we fall asleep.

Dreams - May 19th


We all sit
in a tiled water garden
in marrakesh
talking lightly
easily
a large group
recounting the day's journey
jasmine scented breezes
cool the tiles
send water spray
to refresh
our sunburnt faces
firelight plays
across us
but it is easy
for me to hide
because I am not talking
or listening
just looking
to where you stand
not talking
or listening
just looking
I need to talk
I need to sleep
just for a moment then - I need to talk
just for a moment then - I need to sleep
just let me lay at the foot of your bed
just let me rest my head upon the pillow

the walls recede into darkness
or are the wall even there
a breeze from every direction
tells me no
the ceiling is painted with stars
or is the celing made of glass
a silver light from twinkling stars
tells me no
a cool stream flows
around the bed
around me at the foot
around you at the head
both staring at the stars
that cover us
you with your eyes closed
filled with sleep
me with my eyes open
filled with tears
both staring at the stars
that cover us
the distance between us has
taken your weakening consciousness
taken my straining voice

PART II
I can hear them now
over your furvitve sleep sounds
over the quiet crying sounds
over the metal star sounds
over the wet stream sounds
coming closer
just over the stream
flowing around the bed
you travel to the stars in a dream
I follow my tears to the stream
tease them into the cool water
wrap them with the cool water
sweep them from the room
out to the desert
away from the room
where you sleep
I am still in the room
at the foot of your bed
flowing around the bed
swept out into the desert
keeping their sounds
away from you
so you can sleep
still crying
because we don't talk
or because of the stars
that cover us
or because of the stars
that keep us apart

dreams - May 11, 2006

The floorplan of the apartment is set on a stage
the front wall is windows with a dutch door
the windows are open
the dutch door is open
enter the front door
and see the kitchen on the right
with a window and back door
and the living room on the left
with an arch leading to the hall
blond and thick
bubbling with good nature
he greets me with a kiss
where were you earlier
I'm here now
that's not an answer
I'll help you get ready
a gypsy and a server follow me in
a gypsy to read cards
a server to attend the table
the gypsy carries a bindle stick

with a colorful scarf
filled with magic
the server carries a fancy cake stand
with a handle on top
filled with flowers
the gypsy sets up in the living room
the server sets up in the kitchen
the gypsy has disapeared into the corner
the server stands naked in the kitchen
police at the door
we are warning everyone
there is a serial killer on the loose
the gypsy is gone
the server is crying on the floor
she is hidding knives
amoungst the flowers
why
I need them
they are worthless
I am not stealing them
they will not protect you
the serial killer's face is framed
in the kitchen's back window
lay down
we do
I hold the naked girls hand
our eyes are closed
he kisses her
and slits her throat
he kisses me
and takes my life

dreams - May 10, 2006

We sit in a room at the top of a tower
on a cold stone floor
panoramic views of a pre industrial eden
he is tall and lean in his red robes
his long silver hair frames a feminine face
achingly beautiful
surpassing sexuality
he has dragonfly wings
I am tired when he takes me in his arms
a long journey of discovery has taken me to this room
the only place I have yet to search
to fill an unspecified emptiness within
though young
the journey has tired me greatly
but youth has spared me
from becoming jaded
and I gratefully accept his kindness
and warmth
and strength
in a kiss
though brief
paints my lips with lingering sweetness
lingering brevity
time has lost me
two moments happening at once
he whispers close to my ear
as he stares into my eyes
the seed is in you
he whispers close to my ear
as he stares into my eyes
the seed is in you
he whispers close to my ear
as he stares into my eyes
the seed is in you
I close my eyes
to see more clearly
inside
and my heart begins to beat again
