showing our secrets
set aside propriety...
let us be lovers
together naked
clothing and pretense aside...
skins and souls revealed
intimate moments
once just private fantasies...
shared as part of love
-----
dark echoing moor
in beautiful loneliness...
cries the soul he seeks
-----
blossom to candle
petals unfold in the heat...
rose of pastel flames
-----
a weeping flower
shedding tears of ecstasy...
caught up in passion
-----
thoughts turned to touches
ancient cries from deep inside...
quivers of delight
------
archpriestess intones
paean and wordless orison...
ecstasy's anthems
-----
i've no scrap of cloth
nor lingering kiss or touch...
yet she left much with me
-----
wonder what you're doing
where you are right this moment...
so blindly in love
-----
hair a morning mess
more arousing than "coiffure"...
on a naked lover
-----
If we exist only in one climate, one culture, one tribe, one set of beliefs or customs, one ecosystem, how can we know and appreciate the possibilities that exist "outside", the strengths "inside", and the existence of a universe of facts and fantasy to tease and challenge us.
-----
i will learn best to
touch you the way you touch me...
teach by example
-----
That perfect moment
Dancing with you in moonlight
To private music
Our naked desires exposed
By flowing silver movements.
-----
pen scratching old scars
with ink from dried blood and tears...
i write poetry
the love i dreamed of
fantasies i hoped to know...
brought to life in words
maybe it is now
that one dream may become real...
emerging from my words
-----
In our evening chats
I have told the moon your name
And she promised me
That when she passed overhead,
She'd whisper to you for me.
-----
burning in her breast
words i've written on her heart...
i will come and claim
-----
someday it will end
these sad lives of empty arms...
we'll fill each other
-----
sexy sleepy eyes
muttered words i know mean love...
how you snuggle up to me
-----
