Hmm....could be a self esteem thing. I kinda like the attention, even though im in a good well-rounded relationship.

I do see what you mean, though. it might not be the healthiest thing.

But I thank everyone all the same for the responses.

Take care.

Taken and loving my lady.

I like that idea.

Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!...

And may I say you have quite strikingly good looks!!

Saw your pic and said to myself "Wait....what the heck is Faye Dunaway doing on this site?"

You like it! You really like it!

er, uh, I mean......yeah, cool.

lol thanks everyone.

Another person with excellent taste. thanks!

not bad. not bad. there was this really awesome short film of Punisher with Thomas jane and Ron Perlman with this really great ending. If I find it somewhere on youtube I'll let you know. forgot the name of it at the moment, but it was so well done!

Here are 3 of my original works. Please let me know what you think below, or if you're feeling bold, message me directly!






CLEANSE

Water hits from showerhead,

in a sustained, warm cascade

down my front and back

skin lights up

as I breathe in shallow

breaths

the depth of my mind's eye

mired in steam

and a shape behind the foggy glass partition

that now opens to reveal

that same shape,

sultry and sensual

as she slides the glass back

joining me

she is glorious

her shape is perfection

her lips purse

wanting, needing to be kissed

her body shivers when the water cascades

down her back and front

her hair matted and close,

clinging to her supple, soft skin

My ardor cannot be held in much longer

as I lean forward and take her into my open arms

she relaxes immediately,

closes her eyes

rests her head on my shoulder

Her arms lock around my neck

we stand there, enjoying the quiet

the only sound is the water

the only other element, the steam

the only mood passing between us:

contentment.

The promise of her lips beckons again.

Begging, almost.

Her wishes shall be fulfilled.

Her lusting heart, sated.

An hour passes before the water turns off...

and we are huddled on the floor, catching our breath,

skin tingling, bodies cooling down

replete and satisfied.

Contentment achieved.

She cannot find the words...

I tell her it's okay,

I know she wants to be held.

She knows I want to hold her.

So I do.

Minutes pass.

She is drowsy.

I put her to bed, kiss her forehead.

And lie beside her, watching her sleep.

I hope her dreams are golden!

2. GLEAN

I glean for I cannot state or witness

how lovely this creature is

with her long locks of raven hair

tresses with the brilliance of silk

they shine and bounce with her smile,

exquisite the way it

highlights and enhances her natural

beauty

I can only glean what she has on her mind

either I can hope someday it will be me

or I can take the action

to do

more

than glean.

Palms sweat as my feet

bring me closer to her

I hyper

ventilate but

control barely returns

I feebly clear my throat and she turns

my way

I am stunned speechless!

Seraphs of heaven!

She's more beautiful than I ever...

"Uh....hi."

her voice is a measured timbre

as if an angel was speaking with tones of

radiant melodies

I clear my throat

summoning up my confidence

in order to say the first thing

that enters the incalculable fray

I call my comprehension

to utter the phrase "Hello."

But instead three words come out,

and I go white as a sheet,

awash with embarrassment!

Her friends laugh out loud behind her,

one of them tugs her away...

off she goes...with them.

my head and heart sink as I shuffle away,

dejected and miserable

why did I say that? Stupid stupid stupid!

Hours later after drowning my sorrows in a milk shake,

there is a message on my laptop.

Its from...her?

It is. I hover over the read button....

and with a deep steadying breath,

I click.

It reads:

No one's said that to me in years. Brave. Very brave.

I cant respond to that in kind right now, but if you're up for it, I'd like to go for a cup of coffee.

sincerely,
Her.

I smile, overjoyed and write her back.

years pass.

coffe becomes courting becomes

meeting her friends becomes

meeting her family becomes

falling in love with her

even more as the years roll by.

I'm standing at a pulpit in a tuxedo, holding her hands, adjacent to a holy man.

Hours later we are alone in the honeymoon suite.

Her head is on my chest and its been a long day.

We're lounging on the couch for now.

We'll retire to bed later, but all is contentment.

Still as beautiful as ever

with her disheveled hair and

white wedding gown on, her head picks up to look at me.

"It's time to respond now..." she says.

I give her a puzzled stare.

"...to the first words you said to me when we met those years ago."

After a glorious consummation with her leading me into the bedroom,

after hours of wonderful time spent making love,

both gently, and a few times more luridly,

she lays in my arms.

Im beyond content when she utters her response to me from

all those years ago.

"I love you too."

Our eyes close and my last thought is that I could die here,

but to live with her as the years go by is much more preferable.

I no longer need to dream, or glean.

Reality is good enough.

3. PERCHANCE TO DREAM

You crawled into bed behind me

as i was fitful in my sleep,

my troubled nightmares

turning into bliss

as you whispered close to my ear,

"I am here. Sleep unplagued, beloved."

You repeated as needed

when the nightmares resurfaced...

......morning came.....
the sun shone....
......my eyes opened....
....you were gone....

.....but the bed was warm where you'd been....

...and so my day began with a contented smile

that never left my face.

get well soon.

I feel tired and will now give sleep a try.

happy fourth, y'all!

Personally, I want to get into Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and I have over a year to familiarize myself with the title and characters before the movie drops in August 2014, so I'm pumped!

My favorite title growing up was Amazing Spider-Man during the Mark Bagley years. Hulk, too, with anything written by peter david and drawn by Dale Keown.

Before that, obviously there could be no one cooler than Superman and Batman back in the day. I remember reading Death of Superman for the first time when I was 14, an tearing up by the end, it was such a powerful moment for me. Glad they resurrected him, though, eventually, but then I found out that was the plan the whole time anyway, but it was kind of a shock to see that DC made international news with the decision to kill him and everyone thought "Oh my god, they cant DO THAT! WTF?!?"

I love when a character is able to spark a personal connection to a reader, and I can only hope that my original writings do the same for anyone.

Over to you guys! Have a ball!

J!

wow.....that's a LOT of replies to this topic! Thanks everyone!

No cussing, keep it clean.
