Your Lover
I'm your lover
an apprentice of attention held close
bonded and granted
wistful but deep
churning, in the never ending meld of you
patiently, I paint love notes
delicately upon your chest
a sculpture of beauty marks with style
handcrafted in a meaningful mix of indelible ink
solemnly I suckle the words
with endless duty and admiration
amid innumerable echoes of heart
beating, every second of every night
curves tantalize into hypnotic relaxation
bending to the pull of the moon
as those eyes keep calling me home
hungered, lips glisten in anticipation
breathless, awoken to air
without complication
none hesitation
amid precious moments
embracing, as we're finally set free
an apprentice of attention held close
bonded and granted
wistful but deep
churning, in the never ending meld of you
patiently, I paint love notes
delicately upon your chest
a sculpture of beauty marks with style
handcrafted in a meaningful mix of indelible ink
solemnly I suckle the words
with endless duty and admiration
amid innumerable echoes of heart
beating, every second of every night
curves tantalize into hypnotic relaxation
bending to the pull of the moon
as those eyes keep calling me home
hungered, lips glisten in anticipation
breathless, awoken to air
without complication
none hesitation
amid precious moments
embracing, as we're finally set free

To Be Part Of Your Breath
What longing
Lies deep
In this sad beating heart
This excluded lover
Beautifully wishes
To be part of your breath
To surrender this beaten soul
Rise in the aura of your beauty
Becoming a flower again
My tongue has so many words
Yet to be spoken
All you need do is look in these eyes
The feverish heat of love
Will not cool even for a second
Your effect is that strong
This beautiful ache goes on
It’s a sweet agony
Because I love you
So I spill this on a page
Where everyone will know
Except you
Lies deep
In this sad beating heart
This excluded lover
Beautifully wishes
To be part of your breath
To surrender this beaten soul
Rise in the aura of your beauty
Becoming a flower again
My tongue has so many words
Yet to be spoken
All you need do is look in these eyes
The feverish heat of love
Will not cool even for a second
Your effect is that strong
This beautiful ache goes on
It’s a sweet agony
Because I love you
So I spill this on a page
Where everyone will know
Except you

Dear Anne Shirley,
Hey, Carrot!
Hey, Carrot!
Do you have any idea how much I love you?
Even after you bonked me on the head, for pulling those pigtails red, I’ve never been able to forget you. So intelligent and independent, your beauty runs deep within. Your voice; your face; your presence has been tattooed on my mind forever. I’ve even become endeared to that fiery temper of which I often suffered.
All these years you’ve considered me a rival, competing furiously in ever endeavor, to best and defeat me. Even after I rescued you from drowning you wouldn’t grant me any quarter. In fact, it only inflamed your resentment. An antipathy that has befuddled and troubled me, for I’m the only person you treat was such incompatibility.
Everyone else you’ve ever touched has been enriched by knowing you. Your compassion, charity and effervescent personality have made you the love of the community. You are the beloved daughter of all Avonlea Village. Everyone loves you as you love everyone, save me, whom you see as an adversary.
Well Anne of Green Gables, I’ve got good news. You’ve won. You’ve defeated me completely. You’ve conquered my spirit and taken my heart as a trophy. So let me accept defeat graciously by allowing me to concede with a query.
‘Anne of Green Gables, will you marry me?’
Your humble servant,
Gilbert Blythe

a woman loves
Its haunting
How a woman
loves
And comes
With a song.
She loves
And leaves butterflies
in my brain.
When I sleep,
Or slip away into the dusk
For a walk,
Or sit on a bench
Watching
as the sun goes by --
I do it all
In my seemingly quiet.
But inside of my mind
The flowers;
As soft as her lips,
As deep as her eyes,
Are vibrant
And joyously
laughing.

As deep as her eyes,

Shakira
Dear Shakira
Really I don't know how I fell for you, where do I start?
How do I try to explain how you got into my heart?
How not a day goes by when I see you looking gloomy
Got a great sense of humour, maybe a lil looney
A perfect personality, impeccable beauty
As pretty as paradise, you're always looking gucci
The coolest girl that I know, so easy to talk to
A genuine diamond that I was easily drawn to
No surprise my frozen heart began to thaw for you
It's just a pity that the time's a lil wrong for you
I've been there myself, so I respect your reasons
But this ain't another crush that'll change within a season
It's genuine, my first love in three years
I can't tell you this in person, I don't want it to be weird
So I put it in a letter, with the message, "I love you"
To my one true...
Love Rab

Canoodling Skyward
Canoodling Skyward
(Five of 30 -- Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2019)
In fine astronaut form
I began the slow ascent
breathy brushing
upper wisps of tenderness
a gentle taste of You.
Soft pressure applied
to apex of the portal
hot breaths of wanton
lust and searing suns
of desire I press my rim
to Your brim and iron
with celestial melting.
Plush pink flesh plays
a tag and tease of sorts
grasping, gasping
Skyward to frenzied
empyrean orgasmic
touch of creation
goaled to sizzling
lovers embraced in
lip-locked & strong
tender touching
tongues of the
Florentine Kiss
variety.
Again and again
I am Skyward bound
Enslaved to Your
Pearly whites
I salivate while i
penetrate Your
oral cavity until
we
are
out
of
breath.

Covet Springs
You tried to come to me
quietly tip-toeing across
the sanded rice paper
Tried to touch me with a
stealth so that I might feel
yet not know the intent or
reasons for return.
Coveting eternal wet from
Springs of hope
and hopelessness
You and me lost our ability
to overcome our verbal
confusion.
Oft I know I am in want;
we’re a desperation
full of covet eternal
springing forth tears of
perhaps, sad,
more so maybe it is
self-directed anger
for our cowardice.
Goddess that BE –
how I long for the
eternal springs of
melting divine
that is our RIGHT when
awakened, we meld
into one another’s
7 Chakras!!
Come to me quietly
and let us whisper
and embrace our
lust together.

DTF
I woke up at 2:56am out some erotic nightmare,
Looking over at you like WTF?
A dream like some streamed meme I’ve never seen,
A selfie of you with the caption, DTF!
I wanted to wake and take you in my loving arms,
And tell you “Don’t you ever do that again”,
But my snide pride would not let me slide on over,
So I thought I get this on paper and pen.
Hours later as I drove to work in the bright morning sun,
I thought to myself, maybe she meant downtown Fullerton.
