It’s difficult to foresee. One minute it’s bright and hopeful. The next it’s dark and foggy.   I have a pretty good sense of things. But I am never really certain of the outcome. So I leave it to chance.   Just like the unpredictable weather. It starts out hot and humid. And then just as...

Would you want your clothes to become transparent whenever you are aroused, instead of the usual signals? When innovative tech art enters personal territory it becomes both edgy and a matter of some concern. Artist Daan Roosegaarde, who runs a social design lab, has diversified into...

  March 1   Reality and Desire       “I know the difference between desire and reality,” I whisper to my new found friend.  Who I am and what I am, are a reality unto themselves, your recognition of that and how you handle said recognition are for you and G-d.  ...

I had such an erotic dream, the sort that awakens you with hammering heart and heavy sweat, a dream you don't wish to leave.  I was visiting a large resort property owned by distant relatives. It was an unusual place with many floors and buildings of unequal condition.  The buildings'...

I glance everywhere but in the one direction I want to look, that I’m desperate to look in. My eyes ricochet off the cars parked parallel on the roadside, to people clumped in their chatter around me, chatter that I'm lost in. I look down at the scoria under me and notice my toes curled in my...

  November 14   THREE TOYS FLOATING   I bat the ducks across the surface of my bath.  Soaking is supposed to calm me.  I’m waiting.  I assure you my impatience is no help to this process.  These yellow, tub-bound misfits grinning at me don’t fill me with the joy...

I'm fighting that soul-sapping green-eyed monster. It gnaws at my gut, leaving me defensive and defenseless.  I become someone I don’t like, yet, unfortunately recognize. I’ve been here before and never enjoyed the visit. I vowed to never return. I try kind words to buy my one-way ticket out...

I close my eyesand I see your face,a mere glimpse-half- shadowed in the moonlight Warm breath caresses my cheekas your mouth seeks mine-drawing sweet nectar frombetween the petals of our lips. Hearts create their own rhythm,keeping perfect time,as we swim together side by sidein the deep ocean of...
