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 />
