Kissing, Necking, Cuddling
Fall into my arms
When the world gets too much
And you crave human touch
Fall into my arms
I will keep you safe
When the day outside is cold
And you need someone to hold
Fall into my arms
I will keep you warm
When tears stream down your face
And you feel without a place
Fall into my arms
I will soothe your heart
When you feel all alone
And have sins to atone
Fall into my arms
I will take your pain
When you are full of desire
And lust is a raging fire
Fall into my arms
I will quench you
Whenever you need me
Anytime that can be
Just fall into my arms
And you will know you are loved.
And you crave human touch
Fall into my arms
I will keep you safe
When the day outside is cold
And you need someone to hold
Fall into my arms
I will keep you warm
When tears stream down your face
And you feel without a place
Fall into my arms
I will soothe your heart
When you feel all alone
And have sins to atone
Fall into my arms
I will take your pain
When you are full of desire
And lust is a raging fire
Fall into my arms
I will quench you
Whenever you need me
Anytime that can be
Just fall into my arms
And you will know you are loved.

Always
You'd have to be blind
to not see what's there
unconditional love to my mind
means able to say I care.
Not taking for granted
the friendship we share
I defend your independent
right to a life
freedom is yours; heaven-sent
I for one won't 'own' or control you
not in my nature; my DNA structure
you are not mine
you're no one's possession
so enjoy yourself without strife.
you don't need permission
You're nobody's fool
Wild and free
Sassy and cool
I admire your spirit
love and support the
life you did create
Always a welcome
for you and your mates
Always here for you
with an ear to lend
Always here to hold you
when soft tears descend
Always here for you
with biscuits and tea
Always here for you
when you need me
Always

Loving an angel
deep brown eyes seen long ago
before the lights halo over his head
seen in a photographs of another
who walks with his wild kingdom
hair over his shoulder tied
with a bandana swept back proudly
seen long ago a wanderer who paints
colours in the wind
sounds of rustling dove wings
whiteness reflected on a window pane
tears in silence amid mocking laughter
the wind blows away dreams
whimsical moments whispered
gone like a puff of smoke.

Writing a Poem while the Sheets are still Warm with Him
1
Like slow-motion waking
after a lover
has risen up and left
as I sleep,
though the early morning
in its coyness
refuses
to give up its notes.
2
Like shallow moonlight
at low tide,
that creeps up to my
bare feet
at the end of the bed,
and leaves a soft
foamy lapping
before it recedes.
3
Recoiling my warmth,
It’s already
disappeared under the
next lazy wave,
once I realize by then
what happened,
and is still
happening to me.

Until I Find You Waiting
Tell me all the places I can find
The dappled shadows of you
That show me everywhere the sun goes
Where your warmth is while I live.
I know there will be other moments
In dreams where I’m wide awake
And yet only exist in dreamscapes,
Because that is where we’ve lived.
The river’s yearn and pull to the gulf,
Our currents, when strength is spent,
All conjoined in a vortex of mirth
Felt so clearly from my mouth.
That will assure us without pledges,
Totems of your abundance,
Reading a deep night’s constellations,
Until I find you waiting.

Little Deaths
( a Sonnet )
While hoping for his call on phone I write,
There’s sound of rain & warmth from vented heat.
I’m coil’d up on the bed bathed in soft light,
And leaves that scatter chatter down the street.
The flicker of a bulb, the wind in flight,
My mind is playing tricks like rising damp.
The walls where shadows watch in dead of night
Keep distant never coming near my lamp.
The Muse is still’d while other thoughts are there,
The gusts of rain are keeping him from speech.
I pause to rest my eyes and tousle hair,
Before he comes I’m sleeping out of reach.
And then to crawl in bed between my hips,
My words for him have dried upon my lips.

Elephant Trunks part 1
A Table for two
A low lit Candlelight
A Red table cloth
A 1/2 of a bottle left of red wine
One glass half full
One wine glass empty
Just a tiny drop
Of intimacy waiting
Leaving separately
You calling me
I arrive promptly
Still in my red dress outlinging my bodys silloutte
I change into something more comfortable
You:
Still in a button down white shirt and Grey slacks
You change once I return from the bathroom located near the rear of the house
Hands eager to touch
I get it first
Only to switch to Shonda Rimes Greys Anatomy
As your hand remains on mine
The remote is feeling most intimate to our touch
Our eyes are sunken in on the show
Wrapping our legs around each others like elephants trunks grabbing for food
Intimacy is the blood throbbing through our veins as we fall asleep half way through
our bodies turned toward one another
Breath touching breaths intimacy
You wake up
And plant a gentle kiss on my forehead
And return to your intimate thoughs while next to me.

Please
With eyes hung low with sleep
As whiskey voice growls heat
Over trembling tummy
Speak your devotion wider than centuries of yearning
Of an infinite well called desire
Where you dip your cup desperate to quench
Then sweetly mouth your gratitude along my arch of neck
All the way up to my ear
Please......
And sofly
..... sweetly..........
call me baby
Oh baby, that was a sweet write.
