I've been writing poetry as long as I've been listening to Pearl Jam, or about 23 years now 
For the last couple of those years, I've kept a poetry blog at http://corduroysqueaks.blogspot.com
Here are some of the latest poems:
SEDUCTION RAINCHECK
I suddenly need
To write another poem
But that would mean
Getting up
And all the uncomfortable things
That come with
Not falling asleep
Right now
Lying in bed with you
REFLECTION
I'm totally in
That picture of you-
Look closely
At the eyes
11/17/13
I know mom is wonderful
And soft
And you love to roll around
In the smell of her milk
But don't you forget
The times I tossed you in the air
And let you pull on my beard
And shot you out of a cannon
din permeabilitet
When you lived in Sweden,
You became part Swedish.
You think and dream
In new languages.
Your osmosis membrane
Absorbs and exudes me.
NUCLEAR FAMILY
We have achieved fusion
With our souls
LITTLE FINGERS
You touched my face
Like a blind person
Seeing me
For the first time
11/9/13
Open the present
No longer a mystery
You may drift asleep
