you cum to me in dreams…

You are the colour of wheat.  The hairs on your arm make me think of grass and singed hay and I smile when your cool touch reminds me of dirt. I don’t know why but I like you.  I like us. I want to belong to you. I want this to matter.  I want you to smile at my arm resting beside yours and forget this place where I live.  This silky that rolls over and about my bones, that slithers over my blood, that sighs and lolls about in the hot glare of other men’s eyes.

my dreams

i prefer you…

Fine art by Sophia Wallace

Lovely joy left blank, perhaps you are
the center of all my labors and my loves.
If I’ve wept for you so much, it’s because
I preferred you among so many outlined joys.

— Rainer Maria Rilke —
