today might be described
as brain weary drink a lot
of water day
I’ve gotten half of things
half done and the other
half not done at all
my focus was gone
earlier and now the
day is gone
as I sit here recovering
from a few days of
high activity
and my massage today
I noticed some oil
still on my arms
immediately I thought
of you and that it is
your touch I long for
nothing else

Poet, Writer, US Army (Retired)
I dreamed of writing when I was a youngster. The love of books and writing may have helped to dull the pain of severe sexual abuse as I was sexually abused by two men at my father’s place of work from age 8 to 12 or so. I learned about this for the first time when I was 50 years old. So, as a boy, reading was the only place I had to go to. My fantasy world was better and safer than my real world. I loved reading and writing.
Reading books and writing poetry are a joy to me still and are an important part of my life. (See my About Me page on my blog for the complete profile.)
