[AJ Tower]

To those of you that think I am unsavory because I have an interest in beef stew and football. Perhaps you should examine where life has taken you.


I am in fact very deep and let me share one of my published poems with you.[/b]




I CLOSE MY EYES

The day slips slowly past, the sun has left;
I lay alone tonight and dream of you.

These thoughts become the oil upon my skin
massaged to depths that only we could share.

I see your eyes in stars that peak through blinds;
I watch them searching, knowing I am here.

I smell your scent...so strong and fresh and new;
I breathe you to my soul, exhaling smiles.

I feel your touch like careful spiders dance
upon my back, so arched with shadows pale.

I hear your velvet whispers through the wind
speak lover's words, to silent body fires.

I hold you next to me in wonder soft;
I rise and fall, embraced with reflex rhymes.

I taste your lips so warm and earthly sweet,
my passion bathed in hope, when spirits kiss.

It seems so distant now, your face is gone,
my anxious moments call you home to me.

And all I need to do is close my eyes;
with dreams like this, for now, I’m satisfied.

Perhaps some of you have met Mr. Midnight at Katie Belles but you will never find AJ Tower
there.
