A Cosmopolitan Fable:
Quixotic Musings of a Displaced New Yorker

Guggenheim (Upper East Side)
​

Kandinksy called to me from 5th Avenue
Graceful Ascent with its cheerful lines and soft colors
Capricious Forms melding into one another; creeping closer
Several Circles juxtaposing darkness with spherical brightness
Every work exhibiting cyclic shapes in perpetual motion
Mirroring the halls and walkways themselves
A ceaseless corkscrew through space, time, and composition
And I begin to feel gravity in my body
Repetition welling up in the depth of me
Your fingers; the paint brush
Tracing wet lines on the canvas of my body
Dizzying, tantalizing, exhilarating
Each mounted masterpiece a climactic still shot of you
Coaxing euphoric waves and primal cries from my mortal form
The master of your craft


I Then Come Undone:
Darkening Visions of Perpetual Desire

Sanguè Calabrese
​

What separates you from other men
What distinguishes you from mere mortals
What makes me crave the hunt
While lusting for the kill
Your sultry gaze
Perched above your scorching smile                     
Punctuated by curved lineations
That suggest mischievous carnality
Fueled by your fiery Calabrese bloodline
For you are more than a man
You are wholly immortal
A deity; Calabria coursing through your veins
And I, the parishioner
Praying for a taste of your divinity


Fotografia: Still Shots of Bodies in Rapture

Vice

My sin
My carnality
My indecency
My corruption
My lust
My perversion
My evil
My habit
My addiction
My depravity
My lechery
My vices
My desire
My secrets
In the dark
Only you

In Flagrante Delicto: A Study on Insatiability

Fire
​

Every time our bodies collide
It’s like striking a match
The sound of your mouth sucking my bee-stung lips
Like the sound of the match head scraping the strike pad
Anticipating the flush all over my body
Beneath your body weight
Digging into your flesh
Wrapped around your muscular hips
When the head of that match catches fire
And I see beautiful amber fire in the hazel eyes above me


Amaranthine: Undying, Immortal, Eternal

Costellazione
​

In celebration of your presence
All of the stars in the Calabrian sky align
Sirius showers you with light
Like rain from the gods; a gift to one of their own
Moonlight bathes your bronze flesh
The winds blow through your thick dark hair
The seas rise over the reefs of Tropea
Every nebular configuration bows down to you from the heavens
Reggio is our arena
The sky is our kingdom
And I am your Cassiopeia


Chimera: Articulation from the Dark Recesses

Evening Worship
​

Enter me
Through the doors
Your journey commences
From the narthex
Down the long and hollow nave
Only the sound of your breathing echoes
Your body passes through
Seeking safe haven
At the mouth of the apse
The viscosity of your essence
Crawls through the marrow of my soul
Praying on my altar
Pleading for absolution
In the chamber of my sacred heart


The New York Stories:
Collected Works from My Second Life

Unraveled
​

In the chaotic frenzy of bodies entwined,
Hands reaching and coveting milky white skin,
Tongues seeking out the warmth and softness of other mouths,
Fucking with rabid intensity
It was the pressure of your grip around my fingers
And their kneading rhythm that completely
Unraveled me
