Beloved
Welcome to my Beloved page. This book was released in February of 2000. This book was a product of a dream i dreamt about my friend Maysa and the Being who loved her. I originally meant to let the short novel stand alone, but when i was in Tagaytay for a workshop with clients who asked for more of my erotic poems, i eventually decided to include them with the book under the heading of Eros, for the second time. You will find none of Maysa's story here, but if you'd like to order a copy, you could do so by sending me an email. My address is [email protected].
Ink on Morocco  Paper

I can feel your silent breath
Burning against my parched valleys,
You water my dryness with words
That know how to quench�and
You satisfy me with the relentless
Forays of your vowels and consonants�

I am blank-empty with loneliness
And you fill me with blooming ideas;
You make me want to spread myself
Under the heat of a lamp,
Or throb under the sun�s caressing warmth�

I catch the seeds that sprout from your lips
And I drink them into the coldness
Of my fertile earth�
To echo you into my reality�

I bask in the heat of your whispered thoughts
And I am bathed in the sweet-salt rain
That pours from your liquid heaven�

Then when you are done making me yours,
With words that join my fibers to your life-blood�
To the fulfillment of my wanting�
I come.
Lunatic II

I.
  The darkness sighs as though
  expelling from its unfathomable bowels
  its sorrow at your absence�

  Even the very stars seem to weep
  with the mists of a thousand rolling rivers and seas�

  From afar, the silent trees
  stand like numb sentinels guarding
  a graveyard of hope�

  The leaves shimmer under the doleful caress
  of a shivering wind�

  I send out heartfelt prayers on
  spider-web ladders that  bind the earth
  to your distant light�

  You shine in some quaint and strange dimension
  and no matter how desperately
  I may reach out to hold you,
  I know that your world will be different�

  And all I have left, clasped in my arms, is loneliness�


II.
  Oh, the darkness sighs and the stars cry out
  with unrepressed longing�
  They reflect the melancholy oceans
  that stir and crash in the caves
  of my orphaned heart�

  I love you�

  But as I whisper these words
  in the stillness�

  The very air dies and shuts me away
  from your hearing�
