How far might love reign,
To galaxy's end and back...
Magic as sunlight
Or the wildflowers and birds,
Which bless our eager embrace.
-----
For the quiet shy watcher,
Once again for love,
I drop all pretense,
Lay words out face up,
Revealing my secrets,
The desires I would
Share with her as I
Strip myself bare
For her, exposed by
All the words
That once hid me,
InviIing her to respond.
-----
my words upon her
echoing gasp my reward...
primal plea for more
-----
the breeze conducted
a sibilant symphony...
played by the flowers
-----
we hurried home and
just inside against the wall...
fulfilled promises
-----
i am but a ghost
condemned i watch others live...
depart unfulfilled
----
look into her eyes
deep behond their clear cool depths...
see the fires they hide
hot desires she's felt
lived with for so long a time...
hid well from others
silently she pleads
for rescue by a lover...
who adores her flames
-----
kissing her bare back
up and down and side to side...
till she turns over
-----
sunset's dying fires
make all bright and beautiful...
last gift before night
argent moon appears
coats all in silver shadows...
softly beautiful
this lesson i learned
you are always beautiful...
each and every hour
-----
would you write for me
expose secrets to my eyes...
the way lovers do
-----
I never broke, but,
Because I was too strong,
I shattered along lines,
Weeping hard crystals
Out of scars and wounds,
Yet, so clear and clean,
Wete the cuts that
None could detect the
Carnage upon my soul,
Belied by the quiet
And gentle wrods I write.
-----
.
so exposed to him
he speaks to private places...
she awaits more words
