All the wounds and scars we bear
That mark our bodies and our souls,
Are testaments to who we have become,
And how we got here, and so, they
Are a most valuable part of each
Of us and should be loved,
Respected, admired, and adored,
As any other part of body or soul.
-----
she embraces me
each delicious curve of her...
imprinted on me
-----
out of all night's sounds
whispers gasps and sighs and moans...
signal there's wildlife
-----
love's a sometimes thing
sometimes nights are filled with fire...
sometimes with longing
-----
heart's desires exposed
perhaps by naked body...
perhaps naked words
-----
i would kiss your wounds
mend each shattered part of you...
caress scars you bear
-----
how tender her smile
cool exterior hiding...
leaping inner flames
-----
i sang her a song
smiling as she danced for me...
we ended together
-----
holding you to me
contact of loving bodies...
path for hearts' desires
-----
demons trapped inside
with one kiss they were released...
becoming angels
-----
embraced her longings
trusting that he'd accept them...
love her and her sins
-----
silver in moonlight
small hard tipped hills are rising...
above eden's plains
-----
garden a sweet sea
steal nectar from her flower...
like a pirate bee
-----
leaves her past behind
removing her colored veils...
embracing my neck
-----
Her face a fresh flower
Smile a musical background,
The gentle touch of her hands,
Lips curving into longing kiss,
Petals damp with love's dew,
So alive and loving, and yet,
Without the gardener,
The lover to tend her,
Tired of waiting,
She calls out,
And hears his
Words reply.
-----
i write words for you
yet ask you to see beyond...
to hidden meanings
-----
words he writes for her
find their way inside her heart...
she cries out with joy
-----
greets love's instructor
her open wings welcoming...
one who makes her soar
-----
she is his goddess
the one that he may not touch...
but desires so hard
-----
from our balcony
we survey the world below...
in our home of dreams
-----
friction of fingers
about to burst into flame...
somewhere inside her
-----
when i may forget
there is love still in this world...
i will think of you
-----
and this too shall pass
the mantra of survival...
suck it up move on
-----
sometimes memories
the old and most painful ones...
appear from nowhere
-----
holding her secret
quivering in her silent...
glide to ecstasy
-----
joins me in silence
poetry's twilight shadows...
place for us to meet
-----
poem on your lips
as we watch the sun go down...
poem becomes kiss
----
i'll not fall asleep
till you come into my arms...
even if in dreams
-----
secret messages
coded words of poetry...
speak to me of love
-----
