Written many years ago (nevermind exactly how many!), for a woman that I had a crush on. We're still friends, this many years later...
Cheap Wine
After drinking lots of cheap wine with you,
we could hold hands and dance through the high grass on the hill.
I would ask you, under the twinkling summer stars, to marry
me before we both burst out laughing.
We could lie on your bed in our floppy woolly socks and sing silly
songs all night, until the neighbors banged on the wall and
threatened to call the police.
We could quote Shakespeare to each other, make up
jokes about Kerouac and Rilke and
run through the rain to sit in the steaming cafe` and
drink coffee together, talking for hours.
And dreaming together, we could hold hands and
soar through a vermilion sky ringing with spherical thunder to
land soft and snuggleburrow smiling down into the quiet bosom of sleep.
-Frank H. Weeden

How about the unrequited kind of crush?
(I don't title my poetry, for some reason)
How do you do it?
Innocent gestures that give me purpose
And make my mind reel
A lifting of finger
A twitch of brow
An irrelevant word
I am yours and yours alone
I cannot visit you
In your chambers
I become stumbling words
Pauses that last a second too long
And awkward gestures
(Have you noticed?)
I cannot stay away
I must have my fix
You are an addiction
A dangerous obsession
A puzzle I'll never be able to solve
I have to go now
I want to tell you
I don't know how
I don't dare
Leaving is utter hell
As I return to my private abyss
Ignoring traffic as I see your face
It's a miracle I'm not killed
(WHY didn't I say something?)
Home again
And Alone
Thoughts turn circles
A swirling spiral escalator
Leading only downward
Fantasy is an escape
But also a gruesome trap
An inverted maze:
One way in, many ways out
But I choose to remain in its midst
- Joe Pauley, 1989

Jeez, Frank, you flatter me. Nope, no website. Hell, I haven't written anything aince about 1991. Your Crush poem just made me think of that one, so I dug it out.
Thanks for the kind words, all. I'm actually kinda embarrassed about my old writing. I read over it and it just seems so juvenile and angst-ridden. Could be that I'm too close to it, I dunno.

B.S. Charlie, you know all you have to do is wear some tight fitting jeans and the women will be drooling.

Religion and sex are powerplays. Manipulate the people for the money they pay. Selling skin, selling God, the numbers look the same on their credit cards. Triptans cause rebounds. Learn it, believe it, live it. I use triptans as the absolute LAST RESORT when treating my CH.
