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
