Creative Writing<br />
by Larry (Ace) Boggess<br />
Out there I wrote poems<br />
for friends who enjoyed a vision<br />
with pinches of passion &<br />
just a dash of melancholy. Here,<br />
I’m asked to write letters—<br />
deviant, hungry, decadent with spice—<br />
meant for lovers safe in their freedom,<br />
women I’ve not met.<br />
A jailhouse Cyrano sans desire,<br />
I’d much prefer whispering<br />
lines on the narrow view<br />
outside my window. Less moon,<br />
my patrons plead. More cocks &<br />
cunts. Each wants his girl to know<br />
he is smacking her ass<br />
in his sleep, so she gasps ... again,<br />
crying out from his astral touch. But,<br />
I say, I’m better at making her sigh<br />
perhaps, or sing. To which each tells me, Yes!<br />
That’s exactly what I want,<br />
Although it isn’t.<br />
