I'm So Heavy

I crumble at your feet
You lift me
My limbs feel like
Concrete slabs
Heart pelting out
Heavy stabs
But you whisk me
Take me gently
Weightless & floating
I feel so heavy
But you carry me light
In a moment you could crush me
With all your might
But you smile
Kiss my forehead
And I swear
Another angel
Takes flight

Just a Girl

Pink lip gloss
Pouty lips
Perfect cheeks
Slender neck
Dipping to
Perfect peeks
Push up perky
Feeling so quirky
Belly button
Quivering and smitten
Lean hips
Sharp radar blips
Swaying and sashaying
Tight calves
Begging for the second halves
Stomping concrete
Feeling complete
Find me a chair
Wisps of tendril hair
Falling in my eyes
As I sink gracefully
Without care
It's been a long day
Let me sip and while away
Wave my hand listlessly
With classy air
I'm just a girl
In this
Big time
World

Flesh of Night

Flesh of night
Stretching out
Like a lover
With cold, exposed skin
Waiting patiently
For the warm kisses
Of the sun
With frosty breath
Abated
Hopeful and elated

So What

So I posted that last poem
On the wrong damn blog
I'm a mama
Proud and passionate
Now you know

He Runs to Me

He runs
Knowing I will
Catch him
Big, big love
Big, big hug

He runs
To me
With questions
1,000 tops his list
And we're still counting

He runs
Feet pounding
Heart bubbling over
You know I act surprised
As he comes out of his
Favorite hiding place

He runs
When I want him to
Simply walk
A constant chatter
Of his lovely talk
Pointing out the things
My tired eyes
Would otherwise
Browse over

He runs
To my waiting arms
Uncapping all his
Childish charms
Kissing my shoulder
Turning a beating heart over
And over
Making it beat
One more time
For him

Undone

Part the tender lips
Passion's tender kiss
Catch my breath
Deep thrust
Into my depth
Beyond the lust
Past the must
Into the winding valley
Of my soul

Perfect

You're the perfect match
Dark heart
Mysterious light catch
Shrouded in ripped
Tattered satin
Stained with the blood
Of a love
That promised to be
Forever

Sit closer
Be my shelter
Be my cover

Petri Dish Specimen

One drop
Two drop
Quiver and hop
But he doesn't stop
I refocus my microscope
Examining this word he
calls hope
Latex glove
to the word love
But I keep looking
Refocusing
Lab coat feeling tight
Taking all the restriction
Microscopic friction
My acid
His tepid infatuation
Petri dish specimen
A growing gentleman
Crawling and clawing
under my skin
Tantalizing
Desensitizing
Enticing
Sensually swimming
He's growing
under my ultraviolet light
that silently screams out
in the night

Cafe Angel

She pounced on that buffet
like a black widow
pouncing on her next lover
Cover all princess
Hair all a mess
Her walk was not a stride
It looked like a long ride
The day rolling down her
work worn clothes
slowly
Hands in her pockets
She belted out a gruff hello
To the John Deere fellow
He tipped his ball cap
Gave his leg a slap
He smiled mischievously
As she smiled in return
rather serenely
She pretended to study
the cauldron of soup
Witch eyes
watching
She looked back at him
a faint
blushing grin
He tipped his hat again
His café angel
On her lunch hour
2 lovers ready to devour

Doll Maker

They strut in
Boots clicking
Bought from the
same magazine
Little buckles
tinkling
Shiny leather
shining
Stretching across
perfect calves
Perfect whole
to perfect halves
My hands nervously
iron out the
imaginary wrinkles
in my navy blue scrubs
Toes scrunch in my
comfy but
rather ugly work clogs
Did the doll maker
pick and choose
who would be
pretty and perfect?
He surely must've
But I giggle to myself
brush past the dolls
on my way out of the elevator

Some dolls are just made different

A Thousand Kisses

A thousand kisses
to the scars on your heart
A thousand kisses
to cool your fever
to do my part
A thousand kisses
all the wounds to
slowly heal
Your heart I will not steal
A thousand kisses
with a promise
just one
The storm will pass
We'll watch the rise
of the morning sun

Maybe, Maybe

Let's talk it over
Another chance to play
Red Rover
Come over
Let's play seek
Promise not to hide
How 'bout we
Stand beside each other's side
Maybe we can dance
Move together without worrying
the chance

Love Letters

Love letters written on
the night sky
Writ o'er a lonely poet's
heart and mind
Whispering clouds
Twinkling stars
Wishing this love was ours
Instead of just mine

Aphrodite Night

The sheet is slipping
off my shoulder
and I'm writing this
love letter
Sipping my sweet wine
Stretching out a vine
Garnishing every line
Speaking of love
Dreaming of love
Looking out at a broken kingdom
In my lustrous sanctum 
Calling out
My voice lost
where others shout
The door to my boudoir
hanging on one last hinge
Body tinged
in the glow
of one lone candle
My hand caressing the handle
Wax dripping
invitingly
to the satin sheets
crumpled on the floor
In an Aphrodite night
stretching out in soft light

Hot Honey Sweet Tea

One dollop
Two dollop
Add more honey please
Don't tease
Let me sip
Wet my lip
Sugar could take sugar
Sugar
But sugar needs
Something sweeter
Amber, thick sweetness
Uncap your bottle
Let my taste buds
Topple
Let me watch
The sun rise in your eyes
As I sip
Your morning
Hot honey sweet tea
Made especially for me

I Surrender

Twisting and turning
On this cold floor
Letting the words
Slide into me
Calling out for more
Letting the thoughts
Unravel slowly
No more fight to
Put up poorly
No more resistance
To their insistence
Hot, languid persistence

Stretching
Yielding
To words
Looking for a home
I open up
Scratching the surface
Deeper meaning
Going deeper
Deeper
A languid
Sultry
Surrender

Choir Girl

The chorus hall
Now empty
And I'm on stage
Hoarse voice
Still singing
Ears ringing
From the deafening silence
Crumbling to the stage
Dust particles dancing
Mocking
And I'm losing my voice
Still stringing out a melody
Still holding on

Good choir girl
Rehearsing
Letting it out
Even if it comes out
Like a hoarse shout

Dip Me In

Take me to your water
Dip me in
Splash your
Holy roller water
In my face
Let me swallow
The sanctity
Cleanse me
Cover me
Push me under
Pull me up
Take me down
Pull me up
Let the water roll
Let me feel the toll
Take me to the edge
Dry me off
And do it all over again
Dip me in

Clarity

Double vision
Lucid dreaming
Feet burning
As I walk through
Your arid desert
Mirage
Heavy, wavy footsteps
Blinking
I see you still
You're holding my
Blessed tall glass of
Cold water
A smile as warm as the sun
It cools and soothes me
With you
Asking
What took me so long
I touch
For clarity

Let's Play

I'll be anything you want

Wanton waitress
  serving up the
  scandalous taunt
Foxy Fullback
  scratching
  down your line
  bending over
  just in time
Short skirt cheerleader
  jumping up
  jumping down
  cheering your touchdown
Baby doll
  pursed lips
  in between the sips
Dominatrix queen
  tying you up
  holding your head up
  as you drink my
  overfilled cup
  hands & lips
  blurring lines
  obscene
Tiny dancer
  ballet prancer
  plié
  as my legs
  give way
  to your coming day

Let's play
Pique your imagination
Without thought
Without hesitation

Big Girly Girl

Big girly girl
Posting nudies on her
URL
Hot pants hottie
Twitter pic naughty
She's gonna get her followers
Double clicking swallowers
She wants their hands in their pants
Smirking all the while
Little girly girl in the internet world
Tease
Beguile
Playing poetess hostess
She'll soon learn
Hot sweating sweaters burn
Always needing a fix
She'll get lost in the mix

Now she scratches her head
She likes writing poetry
Oh but those erotic pics
Overshadow
Calling her to bed
With another sloppy internet clicking
Ragged dead head

Big girly girl
She'll be a woman soon
Learning the most valuable lesson
Seductive insinuations
Sensuous words that wrap
Making love to the reader's mind
Works better all the time
Disrobing inhibitions
Tying the reader to her bedpost
All the while
An elegant host

If you can paint the picture
In a waiting mind
They'll feel the hot thrust
Coming up from behind
Spilling a seed
As they deliciously read
Wanting more and more
Left with a feeling
Of being stripped to the core

Taurus Moon

Full moon

Pregnant & rising

Green eyes gazing

Halo hazing

Blurred in the mist

The thin veil surrounding

Patient bull waiting

This is my time

This is my mind

Huffing at all who

Dare enter

Most see what they want

Irregular perspective

Mystical mask injective

See what you want

I'll chew the taunt

Only the strong surround me

Dispelling puzzle centering

I am the sister of the moon

You choose

If you swoon

I dance regardless

Naked in the silver light

Pale skin glowing

Taurus moon showing

My hands rising up

Lacey moon reaching down

Taking me to the top

Spiral Dreams

The house beckoned like a long lost lover.  Wide door swinging; spiral staircase dreaming.  Gingerly I walk in.  Cold shadows tickling my skin.  Barefoot and wide-eyed.  Long journey.  Feet tired and weary.  Silent hesitations.  Thought congestions.  Where am I?  Sensing a presence, I step in.  Moving with intuition.  Body floating.  The form at the top of the stairs waiting.  A come-hither cerebral awareness that encompasses me.  Enveloping every fear and vanquishing it all.  Tip-toe go.  No noise, no.  Pads of my feet gripping the floor gingerly.  Sidestepping every creak in the floor boards.  Slender ankle rising to the step.  Catch my breath.  Another rise.  Gripping rail without the coin toss heads or tail.  The coin tinkles on the step - alerting him of my nearness.  Taking a chance for this illustrious dance.  Hips swaying slowly as I continue my journey up.  Warmth filling my inner cup.  I know he's waiting; my feasting beast waiting to sup. 

Spiral staircase dreaming.  Into the dream I dive.  I could get stung or be sweetly lost in the honey bee hive.  It's a chance.  It's a dance.  No prefab moves.  Just lovely, heartwarming grooves.  He's waiting for me to rise.  I take the steps with more courage.  Determination in mine eyes.  He says nothing, so as not to break the spell.  He knows my inner Hell.  Extended hand.  Visceral touch.  A loving demand.  He knows my switch-blade mind.  An inner land mine.  He says nothing.  I rise.  Wanting his touching.  Is it a dream when it continually wraps around me?  Rhetorical questions mean nothing.  Only my steps.  Getting closer.  To him. A lover's rapture.  And I?  I finally feel the need to feel the capture. 

Wolf Moon

Who I am
Who I'm not
What I need
What I want
All the explicit calligraphy
Informal biography
Inside
I howl at the moon

Mournful cry
Caressing the night
Giving up the fight
No more the explanation
Say
Say
Say
Say you know who I am

The Contract

Unwritten promise
Sealed
No matter what happens
You'll always hold a
Bright spot in my heart
Friend to the finish
Friend from the start
The best I've ever had
Seeing my crazy
Seeing my mad
Seeing your light
Seeing your dark
My dear
Nothing could rip you
From my heart

Just You

Don't promise me a thing
Your presence
Is enough

Taming the Dragon

In between
The roaring growl
His message comes
In silent vestige
Unexpected message
Stopping the roar
Never thought
A dragon could purr?
Concur

He Who Knows

He who knows
My darkest secrets
Keeping them
Blessing them
He who knows
Where my love grows

Kissing Scars

Kissing scars
Counting stars
Whispering deep
Lover's leap
Into the night
We roam
2 travelers meet
Calling this place
Home

Bedposts & Petticoats

Hang it high
Relish it through
The long night
Crisp cotton
Blowing in the breeze
When you see it
Remember
The only girl
Who could wear it
Keeping off the floor
Of the ones
Who came before

Keep On, Keeping On

Keep on
Telling me
Keeping on
Affection rail
I'm listening well
Don't you worry
Darling
My silence
The heart of me
Meditating
Not hesitating
Letting the words
Settle gently
Turbulent
Ocean of my soul

Witch Room Dark

I love the amber glow
But I need the dark
Shut out the sun
Shade me
Draw the heavy curtain
Light switch
Witch
Room dark
Let my inhibitions
Slide under your skin
Take it all
Take me

Vapor Touch

The space between
The space within
Reaching out
Pulling in
Tangible invisible
Thumbing the thread
Loose and floating
In my head

Maiden's Scowl

It's a low growl
A cynical scowl
Passing cold shoulder
Hitting with a heavy boulder
Turn and run
Shooting gun
I'm aiming
Calling shots
Until he turns
Looks me in the eye
Calling my bluff
Daring to touch
Smoothing the rough

I Need Someone

I need someone
Who understands
My silence
Someone who
Takes my
Occasional stuttering
Laying the fluttered words
On the floor
Able to make full sentences
I need someone
Who knows instinctively
When to make me speak
Because hiding has
Always been easier
Curling within myself
With someone who
Knows the
Gentle unravel
Someone who
Understands
Deep perception
Going far beyond
My deep insecurities

Encore Array

Frothy trails of
Mauve
Pink
Lavender
Brushed against
A sky so blue
Before the sun
Gracefully bows
Hiding her
Blushing cheeks
Behind the hills of
Green
Amber
Mellow auburn

Warm Honey & Whiskey

Your voice
Is warm honey & whiskey
Cascading over me
My tender skin
Lighting and tingling
Every nerve fiber
Snap synapses
Igniting
Electrifying me

Before You Drove Away

Catch my breath
Been so long since
I last saw you
Thought you'd blend
In the shadows
Perpetually
Eternally
But there you were
An exclamation point
In my mundane day
Taking my thoughts
Taking my words
Suspended in air
Then you drove away

Listening to Him

Chin on my
Folded hands
Watching
Listening
Emotions
Play on his face
Inflecting tones
It's all settling
Down to my bones
I'm watching him
Listening to him
Telling the story
Of us

Breathy Pulse

Nape of my neck exposed
Thin skin
Thin vein
Pulsing
Breathily waiting
A sigh escaping my lips
As you capture
The beating
Heart of me

Writing on the Night Sky

I said everything
Or at least thought I had
With the stars twinkling
I realize
There's so much more to say
Trailing on the night sky
Nestled behind the moon
Written love letters
Cosmos dusty mystery
Whispering
Stay

Minstrel's Tale

Guests cleared from the hall
Alone now
No one to really hear my call
On a dusty stage
Empty theater
Laughter echoing
People forgetting their
Meager wage
Minstrel telling a
Whale of a tale
Of simple life
Of simple love
The audience
Laughing so hard
Tears spilling
Tomorrow night
Will be another tale
Another crowd filling

Eye of Your Storm

She courts danger
Just as easily the
Safe haven
Dancing her own wanton beat
Bells tinkling 'round her ankles
Her delicate feet

She is a storm
A reckless form
Contradiction
Without prediction

Allow her the freedom
To race across the sky
I promise
She'll keep coming back to you
A soft rain
A lover's sigh

Autumn of My Life

I'll see you
As the flaming
Leaves of autumn
Start to fall

After the harsh
Summer has passed
We'll see each other
Without the
Painter's contrast

Just as the
October moon
Redresses the night
Knee-to-knee
Letting go of secrets
Holding hands
Two hearts speaking
A language
Poets only dream
Of refurbishing on
Their blank page
Rosemary
Sage
Burn bright our love

You were mine
Before I met you
It's been a long
Lonely wait
It's in the autumn
When at last
The seal complete
Our fate

Muddied Petals

Wet soil dripping
A seed tossed in mud
Nitrogen & oxygen
Covering
Giving life-blood
Twilight
Petals tingle
Cracking shell
Softening earth
Opening
Succumbing
To the gentle rise
Lotus bud
Wiggling her way up
To meet sunrise
Greeting morn
She opens
Full on glory
Splayed
Quiescent beauty

Vanilla Love

Don't look at me
With your lustful glove
I want vanilla love

Perhaps I may seem
Like other women
It's how most men
See us all
Of this
I'm certain

Other women
I am not
I want
I need
The soft
Silky
Kinda love

Lick your lips
After tasting me
Sweeter than sweet
Tastier than
Tasty

Soft serve
In an easily digestible
Outer shell
Take your fill

1,000 Years

On the other side of the hill
Lives a girl
Writing a love song
She hopes her lover
Will soon hear
Eyes that color
Changing with her mood
Sitting alone to ponder
Will he even recognize her

Just the other day
His heart skipped a beat
A melody
Faint
Flitting and fleet

1,000 years
Almost to the day
Two young lovers
Forced to part their way

Before he left her
Standing on that
Craggily cliff
He bent down
Kissed her softly on the cheek
Whispering a promise
So true
So sweet
"1,000 times a lifetime
I'll hear your song.  I'll
find you before your day
becomes too long."

Irish Brogue Love Song

He stepped off the ship speaking little English; Irish brogue
rough and thick.  Far from his homeland.  Little money
in his hand.  He was determined to make his way.  Plowing
fields at night; merchant by day. 

She was a Shawnee princess.  Or at least that's
how he saw her.  When he first saw her.  Perpetual
tan.  Rosy cheeks.  Her step was light.  With her came
the sun that hadn't been seen in weeks.

A love forbidden on the outset.  But a heart set on
a jewel will quickly banish society's foolishness.  He
set out to woo her.  She couldn't understand him but she
surely felt a flutter. 

He gambled his heart and whisked her away.  Ohio valley
shining.  He taught her to sing.  Two hearts pining.
Irish brogue love song.  Singing "To LaRue".  Making a
family new. 

Great grand parents before me.  Their love still shining.

Keystroke Caress

Slender fingers caress
Little foot tapping
Brass foot plate
Ebony
Ivory
Keys
Playing for the muse
Gently calling out
Piano strings
Heart flying on wings
Poetess smiling
Playing her favorite songs

Butterfly Wings

A little, blue
Butterfly
Lighted on my
Window sill
On her wings
A message I fill
Fly safe above the
Jagged rocky bluffs
Send my love
Let it spread

Click, Click Heels

Click, click
Chic
Toes pointing forward
Heels clicking twice
Walking to concrete industry
Work for the mice
Steam rising up from the grates
Sidestepping
No regrets
Home
Home
Home
Keep walking
Heels clicking
Time ticking
Take me home

I'd Stalk You

I'd stalk you
If I could
Sit in your parking lot
Drive off at the
Same damn time
You would
You better believe
I'd hug your bumper
You'd hear my music
Thump, thump
Thumper
See you in your
Normal
Unconventional moment
Brushing your hair
Wiping your face
Oh, I lament

Prettiest Girl

Class bell clanging
In the bathroom hanging
Powdering nose
Powdering cheeks
Summer would come
In just a few weeks

She was the prettiest girl
Mocha, light
Cappuccino skin
Big, bright eyes
Laughing away sin

We always met at the
Same time
Every day
10 minutes
Before the chime

Her perfect skin
Unruly hair
Easy smile
Not a care

Day before it happened
She confessed her soul
Bits and pieces
Fell to the high school's
Dirty, tile floor
I didn't know what to say
So I brushed it away
That's what the young heart does
When life seems too heavy
In every kind of way

Next day came
And she was gone
Picture plastered on the wall
In a makeshift
Last minute throne
Our conversation felt so heavy
Ringing in my ears
But what I remember the most
Was her smiling mouth
Eyes full of tears
"What if I ended it..."
I never got the chance
To gauge my own
Visceral reaction
She was gone in an instant
Suicidal attraction

Come What May

We'll make love
Bodies singing
A hymn to our love
We'll savor the long embrace
After we catch our
Priceless breath
A poem written
On the pages
Of our souls
Connected
Intertwined
Now one
Some fine day
Come what may

Wild Flower

If I was a wild flower
In a field of many
Would you pick only me
Would you bend down
Savor my scent
From my soft soil
Gently pluck me
Would my petals
Catch your attention
Amongst the other
Pretty, pretty flowers
Would you pick others
Take us all home and
Put us in an arrangement
In your grand foyer
Or would you
Pick only me
Select the perfect vase
Always in your view
I would grace
Occasionally picking me up
Closing your eyes
Going to your favorite place
Thanking God and
Heaven above that
You picked me?

Simmering Cauldron

Moonshine
Shining
Gestation almost full
I feel the pull
Cauldron hot and
Simmering
Bright eyes shimmering
Slowly stirring
Reading the elusive message
In the restless, loitering
Dancing bubbles
Resting my weary head
To completely understand
Oh, the simmering cauldron
Burns hot
With the message of the
Coming day

Take Me To Your Church

Take me
Together we'll kneel
Feel
Pray
As our souls blend
The bending bend
Unrestricted
Unrestrained
Howling under
The same moon
The silver line
Kissing our skin
Shutting out our sin
Begin
Let it all out
At our altar

Blue Jean Girl

Oh
I like the glitter
I think all girls do
But I love my
Blue jeans blue
Hugging my skin
Like a lover
Riding my hips
Swaying with me
Comfortably
My finishing statement
Making me feel
So damn sexy

The Muse

The verse is a
poetic muse
hissing sometimes.
She scratches at the
white lines in my mind.
Other times,
she's so precocious and
mysterious.  So I sit in her
cathedral of thought. 
Waiting for her to forget
her shyness
and boldly come out.

Say it to the Rain

Let the rain pour down
Say it loud
Say it proud
Let it wash away
Tough is the resistance
Foolish persistence
In the denial
The clouds are our
Witness
Say it to the rain
Your kiss still lingers
Passion's tender fingers
Playing my
Heart strings
Wondering
What
Tomorrow brings

Witchy Woman

She told me of our
Long line
Of mystic ladies
One Irish
One Indian
She warned me
The telling of it all
The feelings
Reading shadows
On the wall
Sipping our
Mystic tea
With witchy glee

Tell Me, Tell Me

Tell me, tell me
I'm listening
Yes
I'll kiss your neck
Your cheek
Growl as you find it
Hard to speak
Oh
Keep telling me
Your body
Says so
So
Much
Almost as much
As your touch
It may not seem like it
But I promise
I'm listening
Body glistening

Dream

Not sure if it
was a foretelling
A lovely foreshadowing
Or something in my
imagination
I felt you
encompass me
I felt the embrace
Maybe it was just a dream
That's what it would seem
But I woke up
Still feeling you

Frozen Heart

Pour your warm honey
Over my frozen heart
Open it up
Tear it apart
See the inside
The part I
Can't deny
Take your time
But hurry up
I'm all frozen up
And I need
Your sweet honey
To feel the warm thaw
I want to feel your all.

Green, Green Grass

Planting footsteps
Planting dreams
With every footstep
Toes imprinted in soil
Watching the green sprout up
Behind me
If I look back
It's to see the
Green, green grass
Where once there was
Dry soil

Soft Linen

Lay me down
On soft linen
Kiss my forehead
Tell me goodnight
That everything
Will be all right

If You Ever..

If you ever sleep
and sometimes I wonder
if you do
If you ever do
I want to be the one
To watch you

You're Worth the Wait

***************
You're worth it
You always were
***************

Promises, Promises

I read the message
I saved it
My fingers lingered
And the universe
Slyly laughed
As I stumbled on
The message you sent
A year ago
I'm sure you don't remember
But
God I hope you do
I pray you're not
As thoughtless and
Distracted
As the others
The promise
To
Take good care of me
I hold onto simple things
Like that
Surely you know that

I Wonder

You've seen me at
My worst
Do you have the
Patience
To see my best?

Stripped Down

Watch me wither
Watch me crawl
If you have the gall
I'm naked in my
Emotions
And I'm starting to
Feel alive
Heavy wet clothes
Bunched up in a corner
Staring at me
I finally feel free
Heavy corset
No longer itching and
Scratching
No longer
The fret.

Favorite Escape

Oh, if you only knew
It's you
It's you
My favorite escape
And oh my -
How it's great
You don't even know
You're where I go
When the world spins
Way too fast
Yours is the line I cast
Simple things that I
Hold onto tight
I suddenly forget the fight
You bring a smile
In my endless mile.

Hip Rollin Night

Imagination
Going overtime
Double time
Not conceited
I just know
What I got
It's hot
Give it away to
A sucker who doesn't
Have a clue?
No thank you
I need a
Long
Hip rolling night
To feel all right
Give me another
And another
I need more
Down to my core
Not sure
I'll ever get enough
Do you have
The stuff?
Stay up
Keep it up
Keep me up
I'll build you up
That's for sure
I know I
Have the cure

Random Night

I'm  no
Ordinary girl
On this
Random night
And I'm
More than
A random thought
Jump in
Sure you can
But you better be
Ready to stay
Because
I'm a long haul
Take it to the wall
I need it all
Kind of girl
Not some
Random
Throw away doll
I've been in the corner
High on the shelf
Hiding in myself
But something changed
I deserve better
Go find your
Prancing
Dancing
Never around when
You need her
Girl
Let her rock your world
She needs a good time
All on your shiny dime
She wants to laugh
Doesn't even know your
Dark side
She'll just
Run and hide
We all play
But I'm ready
For someone to stay
On this
Random night
Chill
The lights eventually go out
So don't pout
When good time girl
Is out
Rocking another world
Looking for another
Random good feeling
To keep her reeling
If you look at me
You better
Have feeling
I've been down
I've been out
And I don't pout
Just bringing it
With the heavy heat
I know you understand
Shut up
Hold my hand

Only the Sassy Need Reply

She gave me the look
The kinda look only
A sassy
Sassafras knows
She shook her
Weathered
Tethered
Skinny finger at me
And smiled
80 yr old queen
She's seen it all
The rise
The fall
I tickled her shoulder
& danced away
She mumbled under
Her breath about
Being just that way

Prim and Proper

Sitting in a quiet
Corner
Legs crossed
Nodding my head
In perfect agreement
To the coiffured speech
Fingers laced and
Perfect
Eyes meeting yours
Societal society
Mingling around us
Unaware of the beastly
Thoughts
Tumbling in my head
Undressing you
As we
Casually speak
I think it's cute
You think
I'm meek
I toy with
The different ways
I can make you scream
When I get you alone
You have no idea
But you will
Prim and proper me
Thinking of you
Undressing me

Tell Me, Tell Me

Tell me, tell me
about this thing
called love
Tell me
it's not all fantasy
or cold reality
Surely there's a
  warm spot
    in between

Princess on His Shoulder

He didn't say much
Nothing really
He just approached me
With a smile
Lifted me high
Hoisted me on his shoulder
Said he finally found his
Princess
I laughed so hard
I woke up
From my afternoon nap
A smile still on my lips

Swan Lake

The tired, jaded ballerina
floats to center stage -
blistered toes pointing underneath
tattered ballet shoes.  Face of
stone raised to the
spotlight.  Delicate arms raised -
weightless
Taking flight.
Front row spectators fail to
see bruised skin
bleeding through
white tights.  It's her grace
that mesmerizes.  No one knows
her toiling hour; line of swans
behind her.
Waiting to devour.

Morning Drive

Sunrise
Fell upon the
Valley
Passing cars
Fading stars

Pink sky
Shyly smiling
Behind a line of
Mischievous trees.

Lonely is the Night

Did I give too much

to the wrong person?

Are my lines

blistering & cold?

Will there be

another hand to hold?

The night drones on

& I'm

all alone

My imagination

usually takes me

to new heights

but not tonight

Color Me Beautiful

Grab your brush
My skin
Your perfect sin
Paint me your
Favorite color
My sighs
Precious
Confetti pink
Kisses
Down my spine
Velvet thine

Sordid Fairytale

My fantasy
Full of carnal desire
To taste on
The tip of my tongue
No pixie dust here
Although
That is my favorite mask
It's soft & sweet
It's hard & poignant
It's lustrous
Free & completely
Unrestricted
Unrestrained
Screaming into
The light of the moon
Coming up
From behind
Pounding it home

Caged Animal

Read me
Feel me
These words
Scratching your screen
Talons curling
On their perch
Twitching
Watching the door
To my cage
Eyes locked on the
Latch to my release

Into the Deep

Breathing in the

ocean deep

calming waves

washing over me

suspended tranquility

Calalilies & Rain

Long petal
Reaching up
Cupping each
Precious raindrop
Beads of water
Dripping
To her center
Feeding her.

Escape

Don't save me
It's too late for that
I just want to
Escape
Into you
Breathe you in

Against the Wall

The only time
I like getting
Backed in a corner
Against a wall
Is if you're going to
Come at me
Full throttle
Leaving me
No other option
Then to
Feel what
You're all about
Kiss me hard
So I don't question it.

Night Rhapsody

Music man's
Singing his song
Again
About love and
It's wrapping me in
Getting lost in his words
The melody
Carrying me away
Affection
Beautiful attraction

Backyard Again

Tucked away the
Sweater and the cardigan
Flip flop
Bunny hop
Splish-splashing in the
Little pool
Eensy-weensy
Bikini days
Summer haze
The smell of
Coconut oil
The sound of
Laughter
Rising in the wind
Put all calls on hold
I'm in the
Backyard again

Songwriters and Poets

Making love to the word
The note
Penning a heart on a page
Synthesizing; soothing sage
Carrying the audience away
For a moment in time.

Bohemian Sun

Bare feet
Stomping grass
'Round a circle
Of daisies
Under a
Blazing
Orange sun.

Nature Does It Best

Nature
Has her way
Opening the tight
Closed petals
Bud arcing
Yielding
Begging
Opening
To the cool
Soothing rain
Letting it in
Flower sparkling
In the rays of the sun.

Fields of Lavender

Lay me down in
Lavender
Thrill my skin
Find my
Spring song
Tickle
The hem
Of my dress
Make me a mess
Kiss me
Put me
Back together again

Notion of Emotion

Touch
My thoughts
Feel
My soul
Hear
My heart
Taste
My words
See
My spirit

The pen of
My ink
Making love
To the
Blue lined
Page

Cat Walk

Painted toes
Slinky heels
Glistening ankles
Legs
Shiny & smooth
Sexy gait
Figure 8

This sidewalk
is my
Cat walk
Sun kissing
My skin
Summer dress
Breeze
Billowing
I'm going
Somewhere.

Lily of the Valley

Coquettish
Tiny, white buds
Bowing
Kissing
Green, green grass
Humbly.

Under the Light of the Moon

Pull back the covers
Let me slide
Comfortably close
To your side
Wrap your arms
Around me
Cover me
Cover you
Cover us
Let the silver light
Spill over us
I want to hear you
Breathing
Feel your chest rise
Ride the soft tide
Of your deep
Oceanic soul
Fall asleep
In your warmth.

Body Rising

She's got a mind of her own
This body mine
Thoughts of you
See how she does shine
Bated breath
Chest rising
Rapid tempo
My body's
Own symphonic crescendo
I try to quell her
Wasting my time
When I tell her
Hush
She feels the rush

Don't Go

Don't you go leavin' me now
Not now
Now that I feel a
New beginning
Winter so cold
Yours
The only hand to hold
Spring is here
And the flowers
Are just beginning to bloom
Everything beginning to warm
If you leave
Your shadow will surely linger
In my lonely room
You found me
Crouching in the corner
Now I'm standing
No longer the forlorner
The sun neither setting
Nor rising
Perfect and glorious in the
Afternoon sky I look upon
Let's lay in the new
Green grass
Look up together
Carry on.

Pages of My Diary

Tattered edges of the beginning
The words aren't fading
But they're not as
Stark
I opened it
Truly
To only a
Few
True few
Who
Handed the
Naked
Lonely words
A warm blanket
Of understanding
Some even picked up
The pen of hope and
Helped me write when
I felt like screaming in the
Middle of my isolated storm
Making me feel not so isolated

Over You

I'm over you
Filling your senses
Crashing your
Innocent
Little dreams
I'm under you
Shaking and
Breathless
Begging for more
You
In me
My every thought
My midnight whisper
Before the sandman
Visits my dreamy mind
He does it every time
Smiling
Knowing

Cool Cotton Sheets

During our dreamscape
interludes
I twist and turn
or simply lay silent as you
hold me listening to my heart.
I
listening to your voice
caress my inner skin
beneath these cool
cotton sheets.

Imagining our feet
intertwining
mingling
tickling.
Simple skin
on skin.
My hand resting
in the haven of
your chest.
Rising and falling.
My fingers tracing
imaginary circles.
Cool sheets cooling our
impassioned
flesh.

Not Letting Go

Just how am I supposed to
Let you go
Now that you've
Shown yourself to me
The question is rhetorical
No need to answer when
I've all ready
Made up my mind
Who's to say where
We go
If we go
You've seen me
Stripped down
Bared soul
There from the
Beginning
The sun's
Just coming up
You let me sleep
But now I'm awake
If thoughts are all I have
Then with me
I'll take
I'll always have you
No it's not enough
But how sweet the
Thoughts that find me
When I think of you
Holding my hand
Combing your fingers
Through my hair

Hold Me

I don't want you to save me
Just run your fingers through my
Hair
Wrap your arms around me
Let me feel the warmth
Of your
Embrace

Life's Symphony

It can't all just be
Fantasy
Surely there's more
A second score
To this rising symphony

Violins gone silent
The cello and the flute
An echo in the empty hall
Velvet chairs
Indentions still present
The avid listeners
Now gone
Resuming
The mundane

Morning Dove

I heard the
Call of the
Morning dove
Late in the morning
When I was
Finally relaxed
A soft proclamation
Of coming days
Stealing me away
Letting me fly with her

Sister of the Moon

Cool
Night air
Kissing my
Bared skin
As I dance around
The rim
No need for a fire
I feel it in my soul
Music of the wind
My only tempestuous
Symphony

Morning Song

Graceful dance

 between dark and light

Early morning song

Glory

The Release

Taking it all in

Breathing out

Breathing in

Body relaxed

Mind & soul

Expansion

Letting go

Of

Unnecessary

Tension



My Type of Man

That suit is just
Begging
To be
Torn apart
I hope you have
A closet full
For this wild
Tempestuous
Suitable heart
You wear that
Innocent tie
And I believe it
Beckons me
Why?
Why?
Why?
Here
Let me help you
With your sexy
Silken mystic
Lovely bondage
Dear
I see you
Quietly reading
Bukowski
Emerson
C.S. Lewis
and Thoreau
To the floor we go!
No I'm not naughty
I'll gladly tell you
My story
Sitting on your lap
While we sway
To
And
Fro.

Haven't You Heard?

Haven't you heard?
Did you pay attention
To the black crow crowing
Or the lusty howl of
Wolf under her full moon?
I'm not a one night stand
Or a gypsy caravan
I don't run a circus
So I'm not in the
Business of
Training you
Quick hello
"How are you?"
That's fine
That'll do

I want your wit
Your intelligence
You better read
And not just some
Flighty internet blip
No my dear
I want a
Well-educated gent
Eye candy?
You better believe it
And I want your soul
To supersede it

Say your fine
"How are you?"
But just be ready
To come with the
Package too.

This Moment

It's Saturday night
and I'm all alone
But not really my dear
You're reading
me here
It's such a
beautiful thing
If you stop and
think about it
No matter the distance
our words
bring us together.

Thoughts of You

I wonder
What you're doing
At this very moment
Are we under the same
Moonlit sky
Or are you
Just starting your day
I wonder
What catches your breath
What makes your heart
  skip and race
I wonder
The details of your
Handsome face.

MindScape

The beach
Is calling my name
Toes in the sand
Dizzy feeling of
Walking against the tide
Aqua blue sky
Frothy, clear water
Kissing my toes.

Mad Hatter's Game

We're all the same

Playing a wild game

Game of chance

Circumstance

Magic of this Night

The house is now
Droning down to a
Quiet buzz
Everything in its
Quiet order

Cat sleeping in his
Tight
Curled up ball
Sounds of the day
A distant echo
Held in the cement wall
Inconspicuous
Floating around me
Through me
The mysterious

A strange vibration
Heightened elation
On this quiet
Innocent night

Hush Dear

Hush
My dear
You think too much
As you fall asleep
Tonight
Let yourself relax
Float on that
Celestial flight
I'll whisper my secrets
Softly in your ear
Close your eyes
Know that
I am near.

The Night Not So Long

My dear
I can fairly
Hear you
Your breath
At the nape
Of my neck
Distance such a
Perceptual entity
You manage
To send shivers
Down the length
Of my spine
Just a thought
And oh the
Wondrous thoughts
I dream of you often
Making the
Night not so
Very long.

For Your Eyes Only

You lie back
Sinking in the pillows
Eyes piercing the night
Slowly my robe
Falls away
My body silhouetted in
Silvery light
You savor my bared body
See straight into my soul
Making my spirit soar
To a new height
Your touch
Delight.

Eyes On You

Bathed in moonlight
Body glowing
Leaving shadows behind
I walk steadily toward you
To fulfill all
That has been
On my mind.

Rain!

Smooth
Rolling thunder
The sound
  resonating deep
    within me.
Clickety-clack sound
Of raindrops hitting
Pavement.

My mind is instantly
Stilled
Suspended lament.

Ghost Flower Girls

Ghost flowers produce no sweet nectar,
yet they attract so many male honeybees.
How can this be?  The answer is simple.
Mimicry.  They adapted to appear similar
to the beautiful, nectar filled Sand
Blazing Star.  The ghost flower, not to be
outdone, painted her petals with the sweet
shape of the female honeybee. Smart little
flowers.  They know the male species is easily
seduced.  It's not until later the excited honeybee
realizes he's been duped.  Too late.  Pollination
has induced.  But it's Blazing Star that still
holds all the beauty.  Her petals are softer
and her nectar holds no secret trickery.  She
stands in her truth.  Without mimicry.

I Choose Sweet

This world
So harsh
Hard lines
Verbal
Land mines
I'll stay sweet
Thank you
Very much
A loving heart
Can do so much

Love Wins Every Time

In this world of
Dirty
Nitty-gritty
No one seems
To know
Their partner
From the inside
The heart
The soul
The mind
Such a sad thing
That people these days
Look at it as a fling
Instead of working on
Making a heart sing
I'm not really bothered
I know
Love wins
Every time
Patience is key

Crazy, Horny Beast

Reel it in
You savage beast
It's a quiet dinner
Not an orgy feast
Let's hold hands
Talk over some wine
No fumbling
Stating
Mine!
Mine!
I need to get to know you
Ooh
And  then I'll show you
But I must
Like you first

Sext Away!

There you are
You little naughty
Beastly specimen
Sending your fiery
Message
Testing
I got a line
Or two
Just specifically
For you
And it'll make you
Hot
Under your
Starchy
White collar
Interrupt my nap?
Well
Don't even bother.

Not Just Any Man

Oh, my dear
Of course I'm lonely
Wanting a love
  and passion
    and wonderful
       sexual tension
Mmmm
It makes me tingle
Just to think about it
But it won't be
Just a casual fling
No
That just won't do
He's gonna
Love me hard
It'll be so strong
He'll love me soft
I'll never doubt
Whether it's right
Or if it's wrong
I've a fire
In my heart
That will light
With a spark
But not
With
Just any man.

Pealing the Label

It's a sticky
Nasty thing
The labels they bring
Calling me everything
From lustful to
Uptight
Little do they know
I pealed my own label
Long ago
Silly boys bantering
Their hearts
Still wandering
Showing me
Their own
True label
They bring.

Ballerina Quietly Musing

Here I sit
Waiting for my
Debut
A swan about to
Dance on her stage
Slippers and ribbons
Pink bow in my hair
I fuss
Fluff
My tu-tu

Close The Door Softly

The hard demand
A stated command
To which
I cannot follow
My heart seeks a
Rhythm
Passionate
Confident
Leaving arrogance behind
Not any certain
Stated order
Always the loving kind

A wayward heart
With a rhythm undefined
To which
They do not know
Go about your way
You've had your
Erratic say
Leave now
And
Close the door softly.

Gentle Waves

Standing on the
River's edge
I watch the waves
Kiss the rocks
Lying casually on the shore
Their hardened edges
Seem softened as
Soothing water gently
Drenches and caresses them
The sighing sound of the waves
Relaxing my soul

It is this constant
Faithful
Drifting in and out rhythm
That soothes me.

Kiss, Kiss

It's under
Internal debate
To which I
Like more
Soft, sweet kisses
To my neck
  my cheek
    landing on my
      waiting lips
Or
Hard
  Passionate
    Plundering
Vicious kisses
Until my lips
Are red
& soar
Indeed
I cannot decide
Which
I like more.

Cover Me Softly

Just hold me
For a while
Let me hear
You breathe
Your arms
Wrapped around
Me tight
Under the
Warm
Plush
Blankets
Nothing else
Feels so right

Take Me Down

Slowly
So I don't
Question it
Too
  too much

Wrap me in
Comfortably
So I
Learn to
Breathe again

Take me down
Methodical
Knowledgeable

Just make sure
I'm rising
Gloriously
On top.

Soft Place To Land

The wind
Blistering
Cold
But not enough
To shake these
Warming thoughts
Where the sleepy tide
Meets the shore
Of tomorrow
Soft clouds
Drifting by

I'll stay here
For a moment
Let my body relax
Entice these nice thoughts
In an effort
To make them
More permanent.

Undress

Undress
My thoughts
Before I
Have time to think
Poignant
Passionate
My heart will sink
But like a rising volcano
It will rise again
Unrehearsed thoughts
Tingling my skin

My Heart

She's doing it again
That same ole
Ramblin'
Ignoring my mind
  & all the warning
My heart
  full of passion
    sometimes storming
She's full of whimsy now
Fantastical dreams
My mind is paying attention
It seems
Both mind and heart
Working in harmony.

Take Me Away!

Take me away
Use your wondrous verse
Let the words spill out
Unrehearsed
I want to feel the words
Slide down my body
Like cooling
Rain
I want to feel their kiss
Take my breath away
Come up for air
Just to beg
To do it again
Shattered or broken
Or completely
Complete
There's nothing more sexy
Than a poem
Just
Take me away.

Black Widow

She's a
Sexy
Slinky
Little
Thing

Poised in the
Middle of her web
Long
Sinuous leg
Plucking the silk web
Like a violin string

Half-closed eyes
Eyeing her prize
Watching as he
Gingerly steps
Forgetting the rest
She tilts her head
Beckons him to
Proceed

Passionate entanglement
Love
Sweet
& spent

Before he takes his
Last breath
Looking down he sees
Spiny
Tiny
Corpses
Bodies bent

Fairy Dust

Dancing like a
Fairy princess
& I don't even know why
Spring will be here soon
Sparkling gleam
In my eye

Through the
Magical dust
I prep
I preen
For a love
Unseen
A dash of perfume
A sprinkle of gloss
Love is in my heart
Not lost.

Lacey Boudoir

Swish
Sway
Lacey
Sashay
Soft elegance
Passion
Decadence
Hint of skin
Through the
Peek-a-boo
Lace
Inviting
Burning
Embrace

Feel My Love

Wrapping you with all my
Warmth
Giving you my all
My dark
My light
My passion
My sweet
My might
Taking you in
Begin

Cotton Candy Kisses

Kisses so sweet
They melt
Against my lips
Good night
Sweet treat
Savoring the sweet moment
Before it slips.

Feeling Exposed

Exposed
Feelings transposed

At last
Not wanting to run

Be Gentle

Yes
It's true
I will not break
But tonight
I want all your
Comfort
Wrapping me in
Hold me tight
Stave off the wind.

Lovely One

You're
The loveliest
Of them all
I dropped pieces
Of my broken heart
And you watched
Them fall
Creating a new picture
Showing me later
Just what it is you see
A creation of the pieces
A grand collage
You lovingly created
No longer the broken heart
To feel berated
A grand masterpiece of art
Hope
Reinstated.

Thank You

Thank you
My sweet
For reading me
Well into the night
For sitting with me
Until my smile
Flashed bright

It's Time

Kiss me passionately
Make my earth shake
Hot
Burning
Touch
We need it
So much
Hot breath in my ear
I want you dear
It's time.

Dream vs Reality

Ahh
I dream

Your embrace
Fingers that trace
Memorizing my curves

Oh
But I want

More than just the
Dream
I want all of you

A dream
Simply won't do
What I know
You could do.

Under the Willow Tree

Under the romantic
Lacey branches of the
Willow tree
The wind kisses my cheek
Teases tendrils of hair free
I read your words
Lost in a trance
My thoughts dance
Languidly I stretch
Let out a soft sigh

Does the world see the
Beauty in your words
Or is it only I?

Fancy thoughts

Stepping out of my
Comfort zone
The common drone
Eliciting thoughts that
Tantalize
Fancy
& surmise
Dressing up my thoughts
With shimmering pink gloss
And a pair of heels
A slinky black dress
Because I like
How it feels.

Words on a Page

My words are exposed
For you to trace with your mind
Line
By
Symmetric
Line

Coming Home

My mind wanders

To a future time

I have not yet seen

Surrounded by

Breathtaking love

A feeling of

Home.



His Eyes Only

I dance in the shadows
Lace curtains ruffling
In the night breeze
I feel more free in the
Black & white patina
His eyes upon me
Pirouette
His ballerina
