without you i must
play solitaire with blank cards...
losing every game
-----
wildflowers are best
tending their own raw beauty...
appealing to poets
-----
blossom of sheer veils
she crosses the room to me...
as each petal falls
-----
once a shy flower
secrets hidden by petals...
now blooming wildly
-----
what's the perfect gift
when she says i'm all tied up...
extra batteries
-----
solo flower show
unfolding each soft petal...
orchid on display
-----
lay soft words on her
as moonlight brushes her skin...
evoke silver cries
-----
with each pulsation
as the honey flows between...
these two become one
-----
threw away the map
took her hand in his and strolled...
into their future
-----
night sky has diamonds
moon the brightest jewel of all...
you are all i see
-----
As he slept, she read what he'd written, amazed that this odd fellow wrote about her. Even more amazed at the wonderful things he said about her and the way he said them. Who would have thought this old bum would have such beauty inside... then she saw the book and the medal.
-----
heart ever aware
constant awe of her beauty...
which she cannot see
-----
lashed with poetry
his gentle domination...
she submits to words
-----
No written words suffice,
For this poet to create
The most beautiful poem for her.
For that, she must feel his gaze,
See how his eyes follow her,
The hesitant reach of his fingers,
As he dares the first time,
To touch her,
The breath,
Almost a gasp,
The lips, groping for words,
As she becomes more real
Than any poem he might write,
And a moment is born that
Written down or not,
Will echo down
Forever's hallways.
-----
sees me as i am
touches all my scars and sins...
loves the man they made
-----
once a wallflower
till that night he danced with her...
naked in moonlight
-----
poet at a loss
there's no word for this desire...
unless i say love
-----
undress each other
committing scandalous acts...
fantasies fulfilled
-----
lips almost touching
seconds before their mouths met...
a single breath shared
-----
wanting to be fair
she shared most shocking secrets...
he smiled said me too
-----
inside of eden
they learned of good and evil...
but not which was which
-----
desiring to please
she's open to suggestion...
and he has a few
-----
a strong appetite
her mouth waters with desire...
before their love feast
-----
if i had known then
who you were where to find you...
we'd have met sooner
-----
wallflower's courage
her embrace the beginning...
of their moonlight dance
-----
more than strong enough
gratful to be in his arms...
to relax her guard
-----
forgiving her sins
she has never committed...
but often dreamed of
-----
wisps of words on you
caressins satin ribbons...
touching poetry
-----
finding the right words
with a purpose to become...
poetry for her
-----
