Fresh Peppered Loin
Blackback stares, shares secret beats with rouge-bright skins, a patter of later tomorrows, future rounds of bouts – beating hands – airstream shapes, thinking mercy, give us beat, ignite our cores – loosened lips, sweet smell of mold – lay back dreamer. … Continue reading

Wild Thing
Wild Thing – you make my heart break. Wild Thing – I cannot be this sane. Wild Thing – I hate you and am down with that. Wild Thing, you moved me. Wild Thing – come on and torque me tight. You … Continue reading
Shadows Paint the Walls
My home is warm where skin blisters a fragrant smell. But my home is warm and I survive. Someone is always telling me to leave, but home is where I find my blanket. It is me. Call it sane mayhem, or … Continue reading

Hey Girl – Sweet Dirty Bitcher!
Hey big girl – lets play it fast with little start-up and pedal push. Beat the toms – let’s drum the dark and fit the lock and storm the pool. Oh big girl – slinky longest. You not … Continue reading

Tame My Monkey for Smokes of Hot and Fetching Breath
Dizzy rates high and lists of bars lowered. Tame my monkey for smokes of hot and fetching breath. Soon darling soon. Polish to gleam and inspect your hole. Your encase and clinks to ground excite my ears. … Continue reading
Bellow the Bloat and Waste the Lamb
We stand outside and bathe – in starlight and glow, of histories in context and roots. Lives begun and deaths upon, stream showers of eternal end and story. Les lumières in canopy holding essence and finds – us who seeded the ground, that planted … Continue reading

Once More for Making Sure
Release the heat and lick my soul with cleansing flames. Once consumed, I will be free of earth and space. Onward sentimentalities; give our embrace tonight – is certain. Turn the dial and etch the settings. Once more for making … Continue reading

Blushed Romance and Foreign Lip-Lock
We sail smooth runners iced and swelled, in teas of black with Chinese talk-talk. Lay your hands on me, such smoothness tickles; my fuzz and temptations – you feel. It’s our room on Boulevard Saint-Germain where hush-hush is our … Continue reading

Twinkles of Stars
We turn around and find pinholes, water streams of light, from stars who swallowed and took our lives. With sounds of snorts and whiskered, bully throats. Whose heart am I searching, in this season of hello goodbyes? We look upon … Continue reading

Tears and Sentimentality
The ocean is licking the wounds of sadness and desperation. Each day as the tide flows out – with tears and sentimentality. 2012 Barry Comer

Hold Me Hard
Angels who walk me past, and show the sights, but never ask. Don’t let this pass – this trail of hot blooded cries. I will tell and let you know – just how it feels. Even sliding and hurting upside down, I’ll beg the … Continue reading
Beat of Our Dreams, Sweet Thoughts
We climb to the stars baby – the stars’ ladder. We are those stars of charts and meanderings through the crystal skies, the jet-plane paths and blue oxygen. How far I climb is up to me, but all I see … Continue reading

Where Are We Snatched in Time
We stopped what we were doing and went down west. Outdoors marching among the steel or within the wooden cities – we prayed escape, while running to big trucks of green, two-seater furnace runners and American steel. Gone and rid of papers, … Continue reading

I Tap and Dance Your Beat
Where you go, I will follow, in tune and in time. Yes in dark, of course. Yes to all. Because, I believe. If shadows pull my curtains down and a northern breeze prevails, I will follow. Your song. No distraction will … Continue reading

Hair sweet movement – stops and starts while breath fixing down, way down – she hangs to life. Oh, she sees no end in sight. Poor baby lost in lust, an addiction to white boys and servants. This is final she … Continue reading

Everybody rides the wave of time. Some ride fast and others, perch slow. All make book for the end of light, for the ride of demise where day is left, unwritten. Peaceful playground, my imagination, this zoo of misfits who … Continue reading

Angel Fleet by My Shoulder
I languished over a cup of coffee, felt up and down my thighs for muscular-electric pulses and seethed along the cold roads of Cherokee. Furthermore I witnessed for god, observing a silent jogger; most hushed and gentle. She swept by with lack of … Continue reading

browned nose. Continue reading
