From My Window Contemplations
Watching outside my window,I see life unfold
in a million ways...with the sun on tilt,I hear
children playing,and collapsing in heaps of laughter
outside my door
Water sprinklers catching the giddy screams of the young
as they dart to and fro in the heat.
Watching outside my window I see Ellen walking her dog,or
should I say the dog ( a great Dane) is walking her furiously
down the hill from our homes...
as My neighbors further up the hill
Look down in amusement as
Ellen's dog goes in for the home stretch chasing a cat into the under...

Take Me There
To that place beyond the land of doubt
into the valley of certainty
Where you have invoked in me a passion so great
that even Venus herself swoons at the internal inferno
you have created within me.
Take me there...
to that place where... I vanish inside your masculine
mass of muscle arms and legs strong thighs and succulent lips
as you erase a bad memory inside me with each touch.
as you create a new memory with each thrust
as I become baptized in your love/lust
Through you I am on the cusp of a new awakening
Voice wavering,
as I am now...

The Man For Me
l close my eyes...
and feel the essence of meeting the one for me,
locking eyes and mentally feeling each other...
I envision making love...foreplay...rain...smiles and conversations without words....
I want to meet the man for me ...and his afterglow...
I want to tell him..that I love the way he kisses me
drizzles me... with his ecstasy
Completely drenching me in his pleasantness
His essence his presence has me bent
Simply addicted ...he will have me afflicted
with need...
The man for me...will electrify the air I breathe
He will...

Show Me
Your Words....
are beautiful, sensual things that drip
from your fingertips coating your paper
like a fine glaze of ambrosia....
sending my thoughts into places that fantasies
are born from.
You....speak to me.
You....make my body respond to your call
Now...I need you to show me...
what your words mean....as heat courses through
the core of me....your words say that you would
like to adore me...
explore me....in dreams....
Yet I am supple flesh....in need
Of your reality...
Show me...the depth of your kiss,as you ...

For Lovers Only
Pheromones
In the very scent of you....
released by the way you look at me
ignited by the way you make me feel.
Transformed
in the midst of pleasant conversation
as I am overtaken by your sensual subterfuge
as your words cascade around me gently whispering
to my erogenous zones....
As your smile alone
makes me moan....ever so slightly
as my legs are clamped tightly
I breathe deeply to sustain
this tangible infatuation....
every time I think, or hear your name.
As we slowly partake of the lovers dance
Languidly...

Free Falling
Like breath from the center of my being
pressed and expanded,
as I dangle atop this mountain of emotion
like the second before a roller coaster plummets
down a slope...my soul does loop de loops inside
of me as I am carried away on wings.....
of possibilities
Now, allowing this second wind to carry me into
a new place of discovery as I am recovering all
that I thought was once lost
now knowing that ...
the best things in life are free
and don't cost
Now I am shining...from the inside out
New found hope has burned through the haze...

Love Me Anyway...
When the "right" one comes along,
he won't mind that my mid section
is more "butter" than "brick"
he will appreciate my thickness,
and make his self at home there.
He will,
love me anyway.
Complicated, as I know I am at times,I am
honest with myself about my internal insecurities
so when I bare my soul to him,he wont run,or make an
excuse to leave,because he is uncomfortable with me
showing my vulnerability...
He will
love me anyway.
Even when he sees me dancing like a voodoo priestess
to Peter Tosh in my living...

In Dreams
In Dreams...
I can gaze into the veil
between the worlds as time
becomes a tangible thing
that is as fluid as my next thought.
while feelings take on the form
of other beings allowing me entrance
into the Divine Hall of Creation.
In Dreams... I am the Queen of Divination
and a student of contemplations as I regard
the life paths presented with an esoteric eye
In Dreams...
I am the creator of the sky where I fly.
I realize ...there is no box to think outside of
as I manifest the landscape through mental osmosis
and use...

Renovating Me
Softly,
I walk down the corridors
of my heart.
Careful to step over all the soft spots,
full of old pains and aches.
As I nimbly run my fingers over all the patches
and stitches along its walls...each one holding
a vibrant memory,to someone I used to be...
With someone I used to know.
My intentions were to clear a space, somewhere in
the vastness of myself to make room for something new
to dwell within...yet,as I walk this shaded halls I
realize that I can not make room yet,as my previous pains
are still deeply rooted in the fabric of me....

Wee Hours
In the wee hours...
right after a session of masturbation,and
right before a session of contemplation
I am here...wandering...drifting
on a sea of discontent...as I pull at the gray
hairs sprouting out of my widows peak.
Laying awake in a haze of angst,as I listen
to the night creatures call and woo one another.
In the wee hours... a soul can feel vulnerable
and bare as the introspective light of my mind
puts a glare on reasonable thinking...and
like quicksand...my thoughts keep sinking
Sinking into my tender...

Say Yes (Dont Say No)
Tonight....there are no rules
as I make moves.. on you
in my mind ....as I slow wind
to the rhythm of this sexual paradigm
Just relax...and let me
Do what I wanna do ...cause I've got
69 positions for you
So tell me are you willing and able
to let me suck Moscato from your navel
Say Yes baby...
Don't say no ...or maybe
I'm even willing to let you shave me
so my sacred doors can be smooth and shining
ready like a five star restaurant
for your fine dining ...
Say yes ...
to being rubbed down in sweet oil
and Shea butter as I...
