One Arm Tattooed Man* (Read the Disclaimer)

*Disclaimer: This is about a good friend of mine, please, if you know who this person try to keep this private from them. Much appreciated, and thank you for your privacy!

I see you sitting at the table, drawing, and sketching away
with your handsome face staring intently at your page.

I wonder many a time what it would be like if you
were like me and to be with me.

With your tattooed arm around my waist
and manly chin on my shoulder, holding on
for that moment of bliss and you are apart
of me for that moment.

Your short hair half the color of the sun and the other
the shade of light brown against my cheek as
you and I fall deeply more in love.

To feel your warm body against mine and feeling
your chest, so tan and muscled as we lay together
in bed sleeping soundly after our night of passion in love.
You are breathing steadily on my neck and how peaceful it
does seem.

But, alas, you can never be mine to hold or to keep,
but to be only a friend only a woman would take
and you make her yours.

How I want you to feel that way about me and how
it torments me so.

If I Were Not Afraid...

For Z.J.H.


If I were not afraid, I would tell you how much you mean to me.
Being so far apart from you is incredibly difficult, and not seeing you breaks my heart.

My heart speaks out to you, "Please come back to me! Please just come back!"
You're the person I can talk to about anything,
and you listen no matter what comes out of my mouth.
To hear your voice on a rainy and dreary day makes me smile,
and just a simple "hi" is enough for me to know you are doing just fine.

Every day I feel thoughts come into my head about you,
mostly worry, but never sad.

I will one day feel your warm embrace, kiss you on your lips,
and whisper in your ear how much you mean to me and that I truly love you.
I want to feel your fingers run through my hair,
and let you whisper in my ear and tell me the same.

I am not afraid to love you, and that is all I'd tell you.
Will you say the same to me?

The First of Many

Hey everybody!

So I have decided to dictate a blog entirely to my writing and share my writing with you guys. I'm going to try my best to make this a weekly thing where I just post my work and hopefully it'll inspire some of you to write. I just want people to read and enjoy the art of writing.

Well folks, I hope you enjoy the wonderful works coming to you soon! Love y'all!
