new poems to her
hot golden dawns within her...
words of fire inside
-----
set free by her hand
brave butterfly rides the storm...
her wings wide open
-----
she dares winds aloft
strives to catch the stiffest breeze...
within his embrace
-----
each word a new note
long attuned to his music...
she vibrates inside
-----
with her gate unlocked
open to let him enter...
love's garden displayed
-----
she rises to meet
gentle brushing of his words...
on sensitive skin
-----
though outwardly calm
one small secret betrays her...
demands attention
-----
the beast she has freed
outward rough gentle inside...
the danger she seeks
-----
blind to all but love
she awaits in the darkness...
knowing he brings light
-----
trembles with delight
having revealed trust and truth...
knowing his response
-----
in our paradise
angels play with more than harps...
sigh instead of sing
-----
saw him watch the storm
couldn't hear but knew he felt...
its wild poetry
-----
with dawn all dreams end
dissolving mist at sunrise...
an imagined kiss
-----
needs no guardian
but grateful her warrior...
insures her safety
-----
no chains to bind her
no ropes or exotic toys...
just love she cannot break
-----
