Man Whore

Blissful 6-Pack

His was a beauty leaving women envious,
unadulterated manliness, desirable, like eternal life,
conversations left ears wet, waiting, wanting
each interaction, unbridled passion,
bottled up like virgins, honeymoon nights,
words exploding upon exit, entry,
he was humble, everything a woman needed,
affectionate, pleasing, insatiable, intellectual,
his perpetual fires burned, roared, engulfing
any, all which stood betwixt him, God and his
goals…

We were roommates in college, recently reunited
on a chance business trip, both single, I divorced,
he, of course, by choice, unable to deal with his
x-cheating, I related, wifey left for same reasons,
time had changes us like seasons, he had grown cold,
old in wisdom, listened as intently as he spoke,
once filled with hope, now empty like Jewish coffers
during holocaust, painful, hurtful, bitter tears fell,
while I held his hand, he held my attention, hours
past, picture crystal clear, he was here, the place
where those who journey rarely return;
suicide’s walkway, further steps would lead to an
reprehensible dinner date with death – I offered
a rain check…

The drive to my hotel was quiet, mortuary silent,
he had spent two hours giving of himself,
wondered if he wanted something in return,
I was willing, after all, we were friends, associates,
time to learn?

He stood above, I seated below, on the corner of the bed,
looked up into his eyes, past the ripples, past the pierced nipples,
directly at his mouth which was begging for an embrace,
begging for a place of escape from the reality
he was weak to the point of quitting living, separating
his physical, spiritual being, I asked,
“What can I do to make it better?” His response,
“remove your pants.” The whole time, I was thinking,
“does this make me bi or gay?” either way, he felt good,
especially when he tightened while releasing deep into my body…

It was the best sleep of my life, I think I’m in love, damn!

AND

"begging for a place of escape from the reality

Very nice...however, at the end it would be better to me if the reader was left hanging....like ok this was an unselfish act done for the sake of pulling someone from the brink. I was lead to believe this was about sacrifice.
Unless it is a coming out experience....
Sometimes I think you get in a hurry to post and slash your endings. Keep an eye on word usages.
Hey--overall, interesting post..you did ask what I though. I got to tell it true!!

First of all, I will give Angel a pinch for saying R. Kelly will ever emerge around anything you write. :)

Second of all, I gotta tell you. You throw me for a loop sometimes, but I like it. Shows your diversity as a writer.
