speaking without words
her look and loving touches
shouted of her need
-----
garden in my hand
as in the darkness she bloomed...
her petals open
-----
she's filled with quivers
from the butterflies which rise...
when his words touch her
-----
her desires ablaze
as dream becomes a phoenix...
finally in flight
-----
ocean of desires
before him she feared to dive...
into adventure
-----
an eternal dream
just beyond my horizon...
touched only with words
-----
save my time for you
put aside for wonderment...
of your who and why
-----
separate flowers
became a single garden...
growing together
-----
ragged poetry
spilling dreams his lips to hers...
desire's feral words
-----
though neither's perfect
we fit perfectly together...
which makes our love strong
-----
peace upon sweet face
serene with love's afterglow...
in passion's repose
-----
a perfect moment
when ecstasy is highest...
as she holds me there
-----
plays with knots within
poems which bind her to him...
pulling them tighter
-----
she was poet's muse
when she knew his words were hers...
she gave him her heart
-----
poet's houris
exposed and hidden by words...
at the writer's whim
-----
despairing lovers
must meet in that other world...
where only words touch
-----
valuable woman
will not trade herself for love...
but will give her all
-----
offering nectar
she gently unfolds petals...
sighs as he sips it
-----
sweet water spirit
briefly glimpsed beside a spring...
smiling she stole my heart
-----
she won without battle
her desires overwhelmed me...
took my heart captive
-----
i write short stories
related in tiny poems...
plot and dialogue
-----
sometimes her fingers
will pretend that they are mine...
so she knows what i feel
-----
they shared obsessions
demands and expectations...
mutual desires
-----
slowly shattering
she put herself in his hands...
he loved her whole again
-----
licked the honey from
the bold but trembling blossom...
which rose to meet him
-----
one night together
we needed one another...
bittersweet image
