started as a kiss
became her teeth on my neck
oral tradition
-----
exposed self to all
and drenched by seminal words
a poet was born
-----
friction summoned flames
hidden below her surface
waiting to be wanted
-----
her storm has passed through
petals wet with pouring rain
-----
consulting desires
as she selects tonight's toy
evening's entertainment
-----
kneeling supplicant
attitude of worship
muffled orisons
-----
sweet pacific sprite
sharing secrets in a smile
and poems she likes
-----
secret she can't see
doesn't know she's beautiful
and so i tell her
-----
pelting of raindrops
fingertips on naked skin
arousing tattoo
she stretches arches
an offering to nature
and her lover's touch
raindrops and fingers
causing body to tingle
with desires for more
-----
her body love's storm
lightning flares within her breast
erupts as pleasure
-----
brought me her secrets
and that night we unwrapped them
trying each one out
-----
bring me your secrets
in the darkness of the night
we'll see how they fit
-----
look and you'll see me
night's lightning my lantern
as i look for you
-----
recalls the moment
when she became immortal
in the words he wrote
-----
aching in her loins
so painful her eager tips
in need of love's touch
-----
he did not touch her
in her mind memories did
what happened was real
-----
i cannot keep you
i'll give you wings teach you to fly
if only you'd stay
-----
pursues ecstasy
lips open as sighs escape
the body she's freed
-----
a voluptuous world
golden orgasmic sunsets
sensuously folded flower petals
-----
how it's always been
no one's ever wanted me
always been alone
-----
was it the candlelight
glow illuminating love
made me dream to much
-----
How many poems have you caused
How many moments of desire?
What magic power do you exert,
Over the passage of poet's hand?
Without awareness you have caused
Hours of creativity, and quiet sadness,
As one who loved you held his tongue,
Pouring his love into poetry
You admired but did not know
Was meant for you.
-----
yes love passed me by
but the muses gave me words
for my tortured soul
-----
it's so odd you know
life dedicated to love
yet never been loved
-----
you cannot imagine
how that sweet smile of yours
has excited me
-----
did not mean to shame you
excited by your natural smile
and my desire to kiss you
