raindrops strike her flesh
running down her naked skin
each a tiny sin
-----
ebbing then return
your body crashing on my shore
in wild eager waves
-----
poetry's crisp blade
feels sensuous as satin
lovingly applied
-----
sensual paradox
discretely entwined fingers
smoldering dark eyes
-----
In a secret corner,
I sit with my treasure,
My stolen words,
You left them out,
You see, and I,
Passing poet,
Just had to have them,
Even though not mine,
Nor ever meant to be,
For what comes
From your mind is
What I've always wanted,
But, no one ever
Gave me, and s,
I, poet thief,
See the beautiful,
And loving words,
Left lying about,
And take them to
A secret place
Where I, like Golem,
Can gloat over them
As if these
Precious jewels were mine.
-----
soft silken petals
hem of her pastel rose skirt
spreading in my breeze
-----
to fully enjoy
become sensitive to touches
che closes her eyes
-----
clashing in the cold
aching flint strikes eager steel
their fires ignited
------
if you could but hear
all the words i never wrote
that were meant for you
-----
poetry's magic
swim as one on seas of dreams
rocked by waves of words
-----
having found her freedom
she wields her woman's power
helps him find his strength
-----
I remember hearing birds,
And, for some silly reason,
I wonder what you're doing.
No real connection, but...
I loved hearing the birds,
And I love you.
I would stand in the backyard,
Feeling the summer breeze,
Watching the trees wave,
White clouds in a blue sky,
Hearing the birds and wondering,
With the heart of a boy,
If I would ever find a love,
That meant as much as this,
And more because you would be there.
-----
wait for me once more tonight
the moon will keep you company
as she always does by my request
i promise i will come to you
but cannot name the night
for that i weep silver tears as
the moon keeps me company
-----
one lingering star
caught my eye and i stood there
missing you at dawn
-----
pastel wings aflame
unleashes secret powers
new phoenix rising
-----
one small death indeed
briefly in some other world
she rises reborn
-----
her laces undone
revealing her true desires
corset cast aside
