Here's some inspiration from last competition:
Hepcat61 said:Here
From far across, through golden wheat, she comes.
The joy within her strives betrays the flame.
She brings with me my songs, and now we run,
Our hearts beat out a love too wild to tame.
We fall into each other's perfect rhyme:
It's here where we exist, one heart, sublime.
Sir-Anton said:Patient Love
We Teased
We Laughed
We Fought
We brought Love to each others daily thoughts
The highs were high
And lows were low
But my Love for you
Still always grows
Apart we are
But not for long
We both know
This Love is strong
Now hand in hand
Let's walk this land
And show each other
Love of the highest brand
So many times
I pushed and shoved
But what caught me
Is your Patient Love
Jade-Pandora said:Renga: Sensual Rain
(一)
through the rain falling
we chase around apple trees
our bounty bears fruit
(二)
tonight with our clothes
drip-drying in the bathtub
distant thunder lulls
(三)
new rain arriving—
heartbeats of night passion pause
as we both listen
(四)
through blinds lightning's flash
zebra stripes on naked flesh
we're each other's prey
(五)
a voyeur's phase ebbs
while wind gusts part swollen clouds
and lovers' thunder
(六)
moments before sleep
when all things are possible
our fingers touch rain
Here's more inspiration from the last competition:
To Have And To Hold
Emerald Guitar
Love makes me high
What My Heart Longs To Say

Sure Feels Like Love
Déshabillé
Déshabillé
A summer night of sultry dreams,
I stand upon my balcony
From bedroom sanctuary mine,
To slip out of my négligée
I feel the need to shower clean,
To arch, to stretch, & know I'm seen.
Your eyes are flowing down my curves
As I turn slowly 'round to show
My breasts to full advantagement
That cup within my hands like wine,
Their swollen spigots shadows cast
Invite, imbibe, intoxicate.
Then let surround your flesh with mine
To lean, to bow, to rivulate
And mix elixir mine with yours!
The title is French for négligé, which is French for "neglected".

He clung onto me like a leech in shallow water and I held onto him silently,
Just Thinking about how this quiteness could mean more poetry than I could ever write.
But between the awkward glanses and fumbling over eachother wondering who would make the first move, I couldnt help but watch his eyes there, like I was drawn to the flicker in between his lashes
as he strummed bitterly sensual chords into the back seat of my car.
yes,
maybe he will leave soon,
And never come back..
And maybe I will be sad about it-
But for now I'm okay;
For now it's okay
Because It feels right this time
And it's crazy: that feeling,
Crazier than when I knew someone else was wrong for me but I let him do things to me anyway;
Crazier than anything that's happened so far;
He clung onto me like a leech in shallow water, and I held onto him silently,
Hoping this wouldn't be the last time we would tremble together in the darkness

Morning Tiger
On highest flat of mesa’s steppe,
The rest of life still dark below,
I find her there like sunrise born.
A golden sparked obsidian,
With slink like waves in new green sky,
Her merest strut sets me ablaze.
In three-point stance, she takes her state,
Surveys her land ‘fore gains her rest.
I find my spot in new day’s light.
Her gaze then comes to rest on me.
I see her smile from distance set,
Like sun itself had burned my heart.
She raises song that calls for me,
And I sing back that she might hear
And carry me with her to bed.
The rest of life still dark below,
I find her there like sunrise born.
A golden sparked obsidian,
With slink like waves in new green sky,
Her merest strut sets me ablaze.
In three-point stance, she takes her state,
Surveys her land ‘fore gains her rest.
I find my spot in new day’s light.
Her gaze then comes to rest on me.
I see her smile from distance set,
Like sun itself had burned my heart.
She raises song that calls for me,
And I sing back that she might hear
And carry me with her to bed.

woman [the sociological aspects of pornography and a book cover for tenderness locked within]
i can live
on her essence
without taking a breath
a lonely prisoner
locked away for winter's entirety
still i feel the seasons of summer
spring and fall
in the mercy of her lips
my woman
siren and muse
my sweet friend and sister
she's the one who ignites the silver flame
that dances within the confines of this cage
brother give me your daughter
i want her washed up
on desert island shores doused in coconut oil
i'll invite myself over for pizza and a movie
and steal her hand
with the mona lisa under my arm
we will stroll the streets of paris like thieves
she sends me gifts
poetry and books and her wonderful eye
for composure
whilst i pour over photographs of sex
but what she sculpts with her mind
remains untouchable
she offers me
dust particles for life
still i want more
desire
it's only natural she tells me
when she bows down to the sun
and for all this
i surrender my sanity
my heart
my body and age-erasing jizz
the drippings of life
that sings a melody of laughter
to the fading rhythm of love
i pray
for her smile and presence alone
to torch
the greed that now faces this world
when i close my eyes and slip under the waves
of ultraviolet light

I Do Not Love You Like The Crescent Moon
I do not love you like the crescent moon
majestically erupting into a star filled night
nor do I love you like the pearl painted swan
gliding effortlessly across a pristine pond
Fear not for I do most certainly love you -
But my love is more like a cool crisp apple
one succulent bite bringing sustenance to life
My love lives in our fresh laundered linens
dried in the comforting winds blowing off the sea
My love is here
My love is now
It is in everything I touch
It is in everything I Do
I may not love you like the luster melting hearts
glistening off a ten carat diamond ring
but you can be sure my love lives daily
in my every breath and my every dream
majestically erupting into a star filled night
nor do I love you like the pearl painted swan
gliding effortlessly across a pristine pond
Fear not for I do most certainly love you -
But my love is more like a cool crisp apple
one succulent bite bringing sustenance to life
My love lives in our fresh laundered linens
dried in the comforting winds blowing off the sea
My love is here
My love is now
It is in everything I touch
It is in everything I Do
I may not love you like the luster melting hearts
glistening off a ten carat diamond ring
but you can be sure my love lives daily
in my every breath and my every dream

My Blues
Someone is thinking
Of you
Through the restless
Night
Wishing and dreaming
Closer to your heart
Here and near
But
You’re
Still
So
Far
I’m still here sitting
Stirring
Remembering
The silhouettes dance
Wishing and dreaming
Of this
Unrequited
Romance
Amid all the moods
Colors and hues
The reds
The purples
My blues
I lie here and want
That which
I cannot
Have
But I must entrust
This perfect
Lust
