Play My Soft Love Notes
Soft strings you’ve stroked
Inscribing love notes all over my tender flesh like an instrument of your preference
I hear the sweetest melody of your soul playing in the distance wind
The crescendo of alluring whispers, I come unto, weakening in the height, I befall
Within the recess of my mind
I taste the forgotten passion that once dripped from the cathedral of your lips
My temple you knelt upon
Dividing the ingress, sanctioning my spirit
Comforted in the calling as we frolicked in the offering of midnight’s glory
Closing my eyes, the sync of heartbeats, I feel
The pulse of absence I hear, leaving me breathless, spent in the need
Reminisce of a time of you and I
Enthralled by the overtures of each breathless touch
Casted upon my skin ever so slowly, as our souls blend
Falling under grace the signature of promises, set me free
Worshipped my body in the baptism of your soul
In the depth of surrendering, purifying me with sacrifices as we partook in the commencement
We loved in the center of time’s foundation
The rings of infinity entrapped tender emotions of our alliance
Us, was ordained written above the illumination of the stars
Heaven you came unto me like a raging thunderstorm
Pouring the crux of your soul
Purifying me
The silence of asunder echoes in its beautiful awakening
Playing my soft love notes
One beat at a time
I hear the sweetest melody of your soul playing on the softest breeze
of forevermore
Inscribing love notes all over my tender flesh like an instrument of your preference
I hear the sweetest melody of your soul playing in the distance wind
The crescendo of alluring whispers, I come unto, weakening in the height, I befall
Within the recess of my mind
I taste the forgotten passion that once dripped from the cathedral of your lips
My temple you knelt upon
Dividing the ingress, sanctioning my spirit
Comforted in the calling as we frolicked in the offering of midnight’s glory
Closing my eyes, the sync of heartbeats, I feel
The pulse of absence I hear, leaving me breathless, spent in the need
Reminisce of a time of you and I
Enthralled by the overtures of each breathless touch
Casted upon my skin ever so slowly, as our souls blend
Falling under grace the signature of promises, set me free
Worshipped my body in the baptism of your soul
In the depth of surrendering, purifying me with sacrifices as we partook in the commencement
We loved in the center of time’s foundation
The rings of infinity entrapped tender emotions of our alliance
Us, was ordained written above the illumination of the stars
Heaven you came unto me like a raging thunderstorm
Pouring the crux of your soul
Purifying me
The silence of asunder echoes in its beautiful awakening
Playing my soft love notes
One beat at a time
I hear the sweetest melody of your soul playing on the softest breeze
of forevermore

Within You
Skin flavory scented as soft petal’s dew
My lady love I harken unto the tune of your silken persona
Your smile soothes my mind
Relief I escape deep inside you
I tenderly embrace your stalwart being
The gleam radiating from the chasm of your soul
Stretches beyond the measurement of infinity
I lose myself within the calling of your heart’s serenade
In your eyes resides
The doorway to earth's sweetest promises
Coating my existence
Like the warmth of the sun
Alluring you to feast upon the unspoken taste of ruby red lips
Begging in remembrance for my honey dripping kisses
The beautiful astute of your heart echoes in the wind
When you took my hand
You reverberated the foundation of my world
In the vow of destiny my hands on you softy dance
Close your eyes, feel me in the hereafter
As you engrave the swing of your soul in the rhythmic cadence of mine
My lady love I harken unto the tune of your silken persona
Your smile soothes my mind
Relief I escape deep inside you
I tenderly embrace your stalwart being
The gleam radiating from the chasm of your soul
Stretches beyond the measurement of infinity
I lose myself within the calling of your heart’s serenade
In your eyes resides
The doorway to earth's sweetest promises
Coating my existence
Like the warmth of the sun
Alluring you to feast upon the unspoken taste of ruby red lips
Begging in remembrance for my honey dripping kisses
The beautiful astute of your heart echoes in the wind
When you took my hand
You reverberated the foundation of my world
In the vow of destiny my hands on you softy dance
Close your eyes, feel me in the hereafter
As you engrave the swing of your soul in the rhythmic cadence of mine

Lone Spinster
Proud
enthusiastic wind
sweeps
white feather
a lone spinster,
of downey fluff
avoids debris
resisted
Sail on
the eddy, spiral
motion, soars
to heights
out of reach
out of
sight
Laconic, carefree
sinks, slowly
horizontal
wave
vagrant amongst
leaves, that fall
Catch, froward
torrent menacious
ill regard
to the pacing
of the east wind
Rest now,
soothing descent,
gathers
freely with spent
petals
of Lady Banks
Rose
Fragrant cloudless
sky smiles
to white feather
lone spinster
enthusiastic wind
sweeps
white feather
a lone spinster,
of downey fluff
avoids debris
resisted
Sail on
the eddy, spiral
motion, soars
to heights
out of reach
out of
sight
Laconic, carefree
sinks, slowly
horizontal
wave
vagrant amongst
leaves, that fall
Catch, froward
torrent menacious
ill regard
to the pacing
of the east wind
Rest now,
soothing descent,

Fragrant cloudless
sky smiles
to white feather

Monk ( don`t blame me)
Figures somehow coloured, just the hammer on the strings
the tinting of the phrases, a spread of darkened wings
offset shine, like rapids falling slowly, fast all intertwined
the order unarranged, will ever stay, sublime
Inhabiting one's soul, with echoes of discord
and never missed a sharp of flat
arguments, the undertow that edged the pointed sword
to stay or just to leave, the message in each tap
I was waiting for a chorus, but there was no relapse
hope, like the ring upon his finger shone
a soloist upon a stool, the cord of love was snapped
for blamelessness, cant play one hand alone
For in both hands the relishes
the reason to be born
sad melodies, drive your spirits. was it selflessness?

TOWARDS THE NEXT LINE OF TRUTH
TOWARDS THE NEXT LINE OF TRUTH
Truth tickling the keys of reality
opening up the next entrance of entrancing
dancing fingers flying towards the next
escapade flowing in a reality serenade
SENT OUT IN TRUTH
upon all who happens to listen
at the glistening notes, slappin' and gliding
upon the sliding songbirds of past life and youth
TOWARDS THE NEXT LINE OF TRUTH
Truth tickling the keys of reality
opening up the next entrance of entrancing
dancing fingers flying towards the next
escapade flowing in a reality serenade
SENT OUT IN TRUTH
upon all who happens to listen
at the glistening notes, slappin' and gliding
upon the sliding songbirds of past life and youth
TOWARDS THE NEXT LINE OF TRUTH

Yearning to Write
Here
Sitting on the floor
Legs criss-cross
For a second it all feels like a memory
A perfect weaving of kinetic harmony
Remembering a time never lived and only longed
The notes and chords resonate like words
From the soul
An extension of the self through fingers
Like aural brush strokes on ivory
Each one painting vivid tones
Vibrating
Awakening the senses
I’ve been here before
In love
Yearning to write and muse
The moods
The timbres and the hues
Each one calling me back
To an era before my time
Expressing the melancholy
That strays away
