***********************
01. Late Advice
Alone in my room I sat on the bed looking at the pile of tablets.
"Don't do it," a voice said quietly.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"I did it. I'm dead, waiting to go on. Living is better."
I decided not to die. That voice holds too much pain.
***********************
02. Succubus
Every morning I wake drained and tired.
Every evening I close my eyes expectant yet afraid.
Every night she comes to fulfil and satisfy my wildest imagination of sexual encounters.
Each night I am afraid she won't return.
Every morning I wish she wouldn't.
Soon, perfect sex will kill me.
***********************
03. An Incubus
Invisible hands stroke my expectant body.
Invisible hands caress my breasts.
Invisible lips press on mine.
Invisible fingers feel their way into my pussy.
An invisible erection penetrates.
My legs wrap around an invisible lover.
This invisible lover takes me to places I've never been.
I wish I could see.
***********************
04. Another Incubus
He says he's a ghost.
He feels real to me.
He says he's been dead an hundred years.
He feels alive tonight.
He says he died as an old man.
His body feels young to me.
He says he was tired of life.
His passionate lovemaking proves him a liar.
***********************
05. Tutors
We are dead, she and I.
We haunt this ancient house waiting to live again as young lovers.
Because of us the hotel is marketed as haunted.
The bridal suite is the greatest asset.
We enjoy teaching young people just how to excite each other.
We have years of practice.
***********************
06. What works for you?
I try to think of dead Helen, responsible for the launch of a thousand ships.
I try to think of asp-stricken Cleopatra of the Nile.
I try to pray to Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.
I give libations to Priapus for a hard erection.
I need Viagra to satisfy my wife.
***********************
07. Halloween Disappointment
She hadn't come. I had asked her. She said she would.
My Knight should have matched her Lady.
There she is, walking towards me. I reach out for her.
