Love & War
The Nightmare
•
my eyes
crisp from the day’s cruel sun
burnt by devastation’s fires
scorched by images of relentless horror
take refuge
in this late-evening fog
settling heavy as a shroud
clinging
opaque
mercifully obscuring
I am sustained
by this damp pall
that descends cool upon me
wraps ‘round my pained countenance
fevered with fatigue
twisted with despair
drawn
by a faded memory of honor
a faint echo of duty
a frayed thread [...]
The Hunger

The Hunger
•
filled with passion
you gaze longingly
upon the tender treat
that’s spread before you
waiting
the flesh is soft
and moist
and pink
as slowly you penetrate
then gently lift

slide full upon your prong
to turn

and heady bliss
that is
a perfect loin

“I’ve seen the copper leaves
of the parmus fronds
flashing from indigo mountains
in the crystal mists of Gemin.”
“I have beheld exquisite beauty
in my rich, full life
but none so beautiful
as your eyes tonight”
Artheo whispers
his breath warms
the tender lobe
of my eager ear
he presses his lips
softly to [...]

Ghost of Love
•
(In loving memory of my son, Aaron Robert Kistner)
in the tears of this turbulent night
you come
as a breeze
stirring through my open window
a plaintive zephyr
yet sweet
you come
as a faint sound in the darkness
an easy laugh
rich voice
a song
you come
as a comforting thought
kindness
strength
a gentle way
you come
as a remembered presence
warm smile
clear eyes
peaceful eyes
full of wonder
the beauty of [...]

The Legend

permit me to share the legend
of the man who rocked the world
luminescent — larger than life
his bold banner of fame unfurled
with confidence he took each stage
flashed his skills with pride and power
his celebrity rocketed skyward
enormous talent, in [...]
