8252 Incubus
[by S. David] [art by Drew Tal]

Your desires
Yes your desires
Tell me
Speak into my ear
Soft
And seductive
For I will
Satisfy
Even more
Than that
And he whispered
To her
Ah male
Incarnate
Bad boy
Having her
Seduce him
And then
Beyond her mind
His ability
To have her
Reach
Time
After time
Ecstasy’s
Peak
But was he
Could he be
Real
Ah yes
Leaving
Corpses
Smiling
Drained
Behind

8137 Infinity
[by S. David] [art by Scott Weingarten]

From afar
Even beyond
Nigh unto
Infinity
Almost
Transparent
Still she is
Drawing near
Almost full
In sight
Hiding in
The sky
Of my night
Yes yes
I see you
Come near
Stay not
In my mind
In my dreams
Softly I raise
Her back
Into the night
Beyond
The straits
The gates
Of the forest
Before me
Haunting
Taunting
Her face
Her lips
I long
To touch
To possess
She fades
Again into
Infinity

8320 Sinne
[by S. David] [art by Edith Egger]

Time and age
And my dreams
Grow fuzzy
And she lifts
Her dress
Over her head
Revealing
Perfectly formed
Breasts and
I remember
I remember
But was she
Lifting the dress
Over or putting
It on again
After
After
I remember
Perfectly formed
Breasts
Or do I
And what was
The meaning
Of this memory
A love
A lust
Before
After
And why now
Do I remember
Again
And what does
This memory
Mean

7930 Gedanken an Warme und Licht
[by S. David] [art by Edith Egger]

Look at her
Look AT her
She’s a model
A posed model
A nude model
And yet
And yet
You have thoughts
You have memories
Recalled by her
Beauty
You think of days
Of warmth
Of heat
Of passion
When everything
Was sure
Was clear
And while the night
Was soft
Was sweet
The days were bright
And you knew
You just knew
And now
You look at
A painting
Of a model
And your spirit
Sighs
But is renewed

Cool
Hot
Young
Cocky
On my deck
Drinking
Smoking
Slender
Long hair
Brown
Small firm
Breasts
She got up
To light up
Again
Talk
Toke
She knew
She’d live
Forever
She knew
I wouldn’t
I woke up
Later
She was
Riding me
“My gift”
She said
Bringing me
Again
To the Light

[by S. David] [art by Amanda Besl]

The game
The game of life
And she learned
Young
How to play
Amuse herself
At the side
Of the road
On display
No no innocence
She played
For her own
Pleasure
Granting men theirs
Candy for strangers
On display

Do I want
To see
To know
Hopefully
He does not
Come into
My dreams
Does not
Appear in
My reality
This glimpse
Is enough
To take me
Into
A movie
A horror movie
Or does
My mind
Construct
A face
That is
Not there

8395 The Old Man
[by S. David] [art by Sarah V Martin]

Ah yes
But it doesn’t
Think that way
Still in his mind
Not a recall
Of younger days
But the mirror
Shocks him
When did he
Get that way
He still
Mostly thinks
Young
Then an ache
And recognition
No no matter
What youth
Resides inside
The body lies
No truths him
That many many
Days have passed
Since he was
Young

The Return of the Cheshire Cat
[by S. David] [art by Jacques Tange]

It grew back
Into its smile
One fine afternoon,
In the fall, as I
Lay napping in
The sun. It rubbed
Against my side
And I half awoke.
“Well, well! What
Are you doing here?”
I asked, not really
Fully seeing.“I
Came for a visit
To see how you’re
Seeing life these days”
It replied. “Nuts!
Are you back with
Silly or sage
Advice, crossing
Again from fantasy
To reality,
Just to bother me?”
“Yep.” He said,
As he began
To fade away.

Sacrifice
[by S. David] [art by Drew Tal]

True believer
True believer
There is no doubt
There cannot be
This is the world
Your world
There is no other
There cannot be
And the God
Sent down
His messenger
His hunting bird
His speaking bird
Bird of prophecy
Bird of what
Must be
And the God
Called you
Unto Him
And spoke
“For I want you
To come to me
A guarantee
For your people
Before your people
On their behalf
Bring yourself
Ascend to me”
And in the temple
The people watched
The pointed knife
In his hands
Descend
Set his spirit
Free
From his body

The Only Truth
Look upon

Legs 3
[by S. David] [art by David Vigon]

You see there’s no
Like reality it’s the only
Way objectify objects
At times even only body
Parts there’s too little
Chance of human
Contact with so many
Of them so I see these
Legs walking down the street
I don’t even bother looking
Up to see the rest or
Certainly who might be
The top half of the loveliest
Pair of legs in a long time
Now do you understand

Heartland 2
[by S. David] [art by Mike Cockrill]

The incantation
Worked well
It bound bonded
Her to a deep-rooted
Though barren tree
Turned her into
A conduit of
Malignant rumor
And gossip that
Issued forth from
Her mouth as pitch
Black carrion birds
To carry the odious
Messages across
The country’s
Heartland causing
Destruction riot and
Despair in their wake

Oh she knows
Alright
Exactly
What she’s doing
She knows
Her friend’s
Younger brother
Is peeking too
It’s not
All innocence
Lying there
Dress falling
Down past
Nubile breasts
Rising up
To her waist
While she seems
To be flower
Gazing
He’s ten
Eleven
She’s twelve
Practicing
Sexteen
Seventeen

We’re All in Love 1
[by S. David] [art by Jacques Tange]


Sooner or later
One way or another
Someone Something
Takes and enters
Our hearts
But I speak to
Romance and
Romantic love
And the sighs and
Dreaminess
The disappearing
Into the fantasies
We have of our love
And so she sat
Lunch break
Summer a rooftop
Lost in her dream
Of her lover
And the evening
To come

Creator of

A hand speaks
And another

And He tasks
Each with tasks
Of difficulty
Of impossibility
Of incomprehensibility
To we mere mortals

8198 A Never Ending Hope
[by S. David] [art by Jon Enigma Jaylo]

As Diogenes found
The search for
An honest man
Enlightenment
Is never ending
So too Tantalus
And
So the carrot
Before the horse
Yet hope springs
Eternal
And the one
Who knows
Is the one
Who knows not
‘Gowin fishin’
And this fish
Follows but
Cannot bite
The prize
Always
Out of reach
But the road
Leads on
Let the traveler
Be eased
Hitch a ride
At least
No Jonah
Inside

8187 Woman with Dandelion

I had to look
Close you see
Sometimes
The images
The art
Is not easy
On the
Interpreting
Eye
And I thought
She was
Levitating
No that’s
Another
Picture
She’s nude
I think
On a stool
Perhaps
Getting ready
To do a
‘He loves me
He loves me not’
With
The dandelion
She’s holding
But
Her hair
Hangs below
Her waist
She’s lovely
But
What a waste
She’s not
Here
With me

8179 The Dream
[by S. David] [art by Liviu Burlea]

Cigarette dream
Fueled by
Exhaustion and
Need
Hung over
It mattered not
The day’s passing
Time could be
Sidestepped
Easily
The ashtray
Placed exactly
Cigarette
In hand
Eyes closed
Inhale then
Let the smoke
Escape
A cloud above
Your head
Dream
Do not
Open your eyes
‘Til the cigarette
Burning down
Burns your hand
