Love is never truly lost, sometimes it hides for awhile, like a treasure in a drawer you forgot you had. Then it's remembered at exactly the right time, when it's fully realized.
A subtle touch of sweet perfume,
a laugh left hanging like a flavorful wine.
A toss of her dark tresses and her plan moves forward.
Casting her gaze across the crowded room—
a silent, sparkling lure thrown in the water
drawn slow through the space between them,
waiting for him to nibble and take the bait.

the metallic rasp
of fleshly gears
scrapes through the walls
rasp moan roar
night casts its lure
his sleep is hooked
by both ears
fog and lamplight
drape themselves
across his shoulders
as he walks
his insomnia
on a leash

We sat beneath the canopy of day and lied about being happy.
The tea went cold between us.
You spoke about next summer.
I knew better, but let you.
Lies are kindness
when the truth has nowhere to go.

Siren song lures sailors
from ship sinking,
into sea's sound.
Siren's stroke sends them
into pulsing pleasure. Ocean's
gift: breathless rapture.

She blooms
without witnesses
keeps her tenderness
behind quiet doors
lets affection
move softly
like light
through curtains
no applause
no spectacle
only the small
sacred ritual
of remaining gentle
after the world
has given her
enough reasons
not to be
Her hair held the afternoon shine as it rested against his arm.
They watched the waves reach the rock creating seafoam leaping to the sky like so many lies cascading down.
She leaned further into his chest smelling him, tasting the salty sea, knowing the truth of his body.

He casts through the day
No fish find his shiny lure
Dusk folds in the net
Still beneath the evening sky
He carries home the silence
