under stained glass (with the awesome Betty)

Can you feel my hand
pressed against this stained glass pane
waiting for sunshine

All of these sepia rainbows
will fill with technicolour

But today is blue
with pearlescent undertones
reflecting the glass

shards of you still seep through it
I can feel your radiance

A new dawn rising
like the first breath after midnight
everything comes alive again

Your breath, my breath; sanctuary
glass cracking with your heartbeat

Shattered, I cut my
own shoulders reaching for yours
reimagining

tasting the way light reflects
on your prismatic beauty

Sunlit skin collides
shadows disperse like burned ghosts
your embrace is holy

Technicolour seeps through, lights us
Goddesses under stained glass

Hello, I am new here and I don't talk to anyone.  I would like to enter the competition but I don't have a partner to pair up with.  Anyone interested in trying?  Send me a message.  I'm sorry for posting a non poem entry.

Brief Sojourn with Adagio

poultice to soothe soul  
arches of decadence
basting the dusk's noir

evening falls on wasted mountains
dark covers at nights of souls


the pen clearly thumb
depravity pale blue gums
lusting noir shadows

clouds over the valley so deep
rain waters eager tree tops


in seance with shadows  
fate to dilate peignoir
dust to ashes blow

scents of frangipani soothe
caressing thoughts of past spring


vagrant in nature
the fragrance of falling woo
less the whispering  

falling leaves evokes tsunami
as hearts tied on silk ribbons

With Renewed Strength (Written with Verdonna)

And what could I say
That wasn’t already said
Swallowing the words
 
Come back to me, but it is
Too late as you left me here
 
Broken in pieces
Unable to recover
Mortally wounded
 
I was not the same person
You once knew and could control
 
I outgrew your hold  
and I attempt to patch work  
myself whole again.
 
You will never break me down
As I will come back swinging
 
Landing blow by blow  
Crushing you under my fist  
Feel the rage I felt
 
I will cut you down as you  
Have become my enemy.

Salvation (Written  With DampKitten)

I’ve tasted your scars  
Made love to your agony  
Stolen your darkness

 
You took it without asking  
Our love did not deserve that

 
I’ve shackled your soul  
Muffled passion with duct tape  
Seared you with silence

 
You are my light in darkness      
I will give you everything

      
I’ll take what I want  
A slave to my affection  
Kneeling to the end

 
I can feel my heart melting  
My death is your salvation

A Ride to the ER (with fianaturie8)

They've been living their lives day by day
Boring & mundane, both need to get laid

His wife of 30 years was never in the mood
They're turning into old, crotchety prudes

Each day they enjoy their favorite porno stations
Privately secure, fingering, jerking, masturbation

The release is great but they crave for more
Maybe tonight she'll be his dirty fucking whore

A few times they've tried to engage in foreplay
Maybe tomorrow, just not today

Occasionally it came up in conversation
"We need to fuck, we need stimulation"

They both agreed tonight was the night
Will he be hard, will she be tight?

Their behavior for one another was like their 1st time
Nervous and insecure, "Am I good? Does the other mind?"

They began kissing, the juices were flowing
She was getting moist, his dick was growing

They tried some other moves, but their pain was debilitating
Inflammation, stiffness, soreness, muscles pulsating

He decided one last move with his afflicted balls
Her hands on the floor, his back against the wall

His back was riddled in pain, as the wall held him up
They had no more in them, a chain of bad luck

Hospital

“Mrs. Jones, can you tell me what happened here?”
She was looking at her disheveled state not wanting to stare.

We were too eager, too ready I guess
I can not believe we ended up in this mess

"You have broken a bone in the back you see
He is concussed and I need to hear how this can be"


They took too long  to be together
now look at where they are at with IV’s tethered

Well, we had a rhythm going at a nice speed
He pushed up and his cock was freed

I landed on the floor after I did a flip
Kicked him in the head and that’s what did it

Humiliated and physically hurt
We wonder why this didn’t work

I want her and she wants me
We live together in fidelity

We go back to our lives after this is done
The honorary priest and my woman a nun
