Odd Mellow

Eye to eye
I see the love
For me
All over your face
An instant
Sexual attraction
But without the
Physical intercourse
I fiend
The yearning burns up
Inside of me
To reach out
And pull you close
My arms
Wrapped around your
Soft skin
Never
Breaking OUR view
Still
Eye to eye
Watching your
Beautiful smile
Whatever I do
Attracts your
Undeniable attention
For Chuck
That's me
As we
Kiss
Your beautiful lips
Pressed against mine's
Passionate with
A touch of
Aggressiveness
Until I
Insert my tongue
Into your....
Awaiting mouth
I feel your
Body release
All of your
Built up stress
From your....
Past week
Two lovers going at it
In the
French way
But OUR way
As my hands
Finds your....
Soft tush
As your breathing slows
And you close
Your beautiful eyes
Your way of
Enjoying this
Magical moment
You and I
US
TOGETHER
FOREVER
Instilled in our minds
As we....
Holding each other
So tight
Not wanting to
Be the first
To let go
Or
Leave each other alone
We were
Meant for each other
No denying
Or a false statement
I love you
Thee mostest
I promise you
I do
Whatever it takes
To keep your heart
Connected to me
My soulmate
Never will I
Break OUR
Eye to eye
View
Because....
You are
The love of my eyes

we are strangers still
despite all we know
and all we share --
despite the joint accounts
and both our names on the deed
and the photographs of you and i together
taken here and there
on this trip or that gathering,
despite our foibles
and our farts
and our failures
and all we've learned to tolerate
and all our promises
and kindness
and all we like to think we have in common
there are secrets
kept for the sake of diplomacy,
truths hidden,
cards we cannot show
lest we disturb this loving collaboration

for though we are one
we are two
and always will be

I love her because she is the brightness of the day
I love her because she is the strength of the coffee
I love her because she is the warmth of the shower
I love her because she is the song of the city
I love her because she is the sound of love
I love her because she is the kindness of others
I love her because she is the peace of the ocean waves
I love her because she is the cooling breeze
I love her--she is more precious than rubies
I love her--she is worth more than many diamonds
I love her--she knows me and calls my name
I love her--she is blessed
Now and evermore

The sun
spills pettles  
accross  
her canvass

Legs  
bound  
in four  
strands  
Knotted  
like the french  
plait  
in her hair  
 
Heart beats  
against my cheeks  
as a side drum  
waiting for  
a trombone  
to sound  
 
Fingers entwined  
having worked  
an honest day  
holding on  
as if  
there will never be  
a time  
to let go  
 
Her breath  
whispering  
over skin  
in a harmony  
that  
settles choirs  
 
This is when  
I am most  
at home    
 
We agree over  
coffee  
No one  
says it  
quite  
like us  
 
 
-x-  
 

A songless bird against the sky
a lone jogger along the beach
fragrance of coffee
a sudden peal of laughter
they colour the dawn
another one without you

empty lonely arms
cuddling a bolster
curled against the pillows
looking from curtainless windows
blush pink from dawn dusted sky
another day without you

closed eyes seeping tears
not knowing where to begin
slumbers on in a blanket
of warmth fuelled by wishes
for better dawns
for thousands of tomorrows

Another day without you
just another day.
