elementally
how do you love?
like a wildfire raging through dry timber
flames licking every surface clean
stripping deadfall to the root
that life can grow anew
like a cool breeze on summer day
soothing sunburnt skin
relieving the strain
of inflamed burning pain
like water caressing abused flesh
gentle & tender in touch
mindful of wounds half-sealed
seeking only to bathe & heal
like granite beneath unsteady feet
solid ground to rely upon
constant in structure & support
foundation strong & reinforced
do you think it's enough?
you tell me...

Time Stands Still
11.45pm
Her naked body lies next to mine
Her back facing me
neck exposed.
Her shape and smell excite me,
urging me to delve deep into her,
to devour her,to search for
a salve,a soothing that will
leave nothing but the joyous moment.
12.15am
Her naked body lies next to mine
Her back facing me
neck exposed.
No more cues to consume.
No more seeking release.
Her remaining energy goes
to the turning of pages and
away from my skin
away from my desire.
12.30am
Her naked body lies next to mine
Her back facing me
neck exposed.
There is a change
in her breathing.
Sleep is coming
and the book falls
from her hands.
My naked body lies next to her
I press my hardness against her skin
She stirs again
And now we begin.....
Patience wins.
Her naked body lies next to mine
Her back facing me
neck exposed.
Her shape and smell excite me,
urging me to delve deep into her,
to devour her,to search for
a salve,a soothing that will
leave nothing but the joyous moment.
12.15am
Her naked body lies next to mine
Her back facing me
neck exposed.
No more cues to consume.
No more seeking release.
Her remaining energy goes
to the turning of pages and
away from my skin
away from my desire.
12.30am
Her naked body lies next to mine
Her back facing me
neck exposed.
There is a change
in her breathing.
Sleep is coming
and the book falls
from her hands.
My naked body lies next to her
I press my hardness against her skin
She stirs again
And now we begin.....
Patience wins.

Jewels
How might you love me?
I’ve milled me a wish
With roses and paisley
adorning your kiss
With unsparing hands
That caress my skin
With subtle poise
Felt deep within
With moons that swoon
O’er silken delights
With words that spice
These shaded nights
With quips in svelte
I unravel your swagger
In the haste of the moment
I buckle and stagger
With fingers that rove
‘cross the arc of my spine
With lips that slip
to where you can dine
With the taste of my jewels
To garnish your tongue
With the grace of renewal
Two bodies are clung
I’ve milled me a wish
With roses and paisley
adorning your kiss
With unsparing hands
That caress my skin
With subtle poise
Felt deep within
With moons that swoon
O’er silken delights
With words that spice
These shaded nights
With quips in svelte
I unravel your swagger
In the haste of the moment
I buckle and stagger
With fingers that rove
‘cross the arc of my spine
With lips that slip
to where you can dine
With the taste of my jewels
To garnish your tongue
With the grace of renewal
Two bodies are clung
