711 Rain Street

Something a bit different. I’ve recently started writing poetry again. I’ve not written anything in a long time so I decided to combine my male art with poetry. This is the result.

That deep feeling between two men.

I thought I’d do something a bit different. Usually, my backgrounds are solid black so that they don’t distract from the model(s) I’m using. However, this time I decided that a scenic background would add some ethereal quality and dimension.

One of those moments where you wrap your arms around the guy you love.

An intimate embrace between two male lovers.

It had been a long day. Exhausted both physically and emotionally, Jason collapses on the couch in front of the TV. As he begins to relax and close his eyes, the phone rings. With a groan, he reaches to pick up the cordless that lies on a table behind the couch.
“Hello.” He answers.
“Hi sweetheart. It’s me.” His lover Devin’s voice says on the other end.
“Hi.” Jason replies.
“What’s wrong?” Devin immediately asks.
“Nothing. Everything.” Jason replies, feeling a flood of tears ready to burst forth.
“On your way home?” He asks quickly before his lover can say anything else.
“Unfortunately, no. There are still a few things I need to take care of before I can leave.” Devin replies.
“Oh.” Jason says.
Suddenly the flood of tears he’s been holding back all day breaks loose. He manages to choke back most of it but the sharp pain inside causes an involuntary gasp to escape his lips.
“Sweetheart? Are you all right? Talk to me.” Devin says.
“You’d better finish up your work.” Jason manages to reply. Though, he knows Devin can hear his voice break when he speaks.
There’s silence for a few seconds. Then Devin’s voice answers back.
“Alright. I’ll be home as soon as I’m finished.” He says.
“And sweetheart,” Devin says before Jason can speak. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Jason manages to whisper.
He quickly hangs up the phone as another searing wave of pain overwhelms him, leaving him crying like a baby. The tears flow down his cheeks in a steady stream as all the events of the day catch up to him. For a long time, he simply lies there and lets the pain overwhelm him. He doesn’t have the strength left to fight any more.
Eventually, Jason drifts off to sleep.
He is awakened by the feel of soft lips kissing his own. Jason’s eyes open to see Devin looking at him intently, while on his knees beside the couch.
“Hi there sleeping beauty.” Devin replies, then bends down to capture Jason’s lips with his own before he can say a word in reply.
Devin’s kiss is loving, gentle, and passionate all at the same time. Jason’s body responds as he feels Devin’s love envelop him like a warm blanket. Tears start to flow again. Jason can’t stop them no matter how hard he tries.
Sensing a change, Devin breaks contact with Jason’s lips to gently kiss away the tears. When finished, he straightens up to look at him again.
“What’s wrong, my love?” He asks softly.
Jason tries to speak but nothing will come out. All he can do is look back at the man he loves with eyes full of tears.
“Bad day huh.” Devin says simply.
Before Jason can reply, Devin slips off his shoes and is snuggling his body next to Jason’s on the couch. Enfolding him in his arms, he caresses Jason’s back as the dam of tears breaks loose one final time.
Whispering softly, Devin tells Jason just how much he loves him. Jason feels that love surround him. The stress of the day slowly evaporates as his lover’s strength restores him. Jason’s lips find Devin’s own and they share a soft kiss as they cuddle each other tightly, and then drift off to sleep.
