Poet Introduction
I'm on a journey of discovery; heeding the sensual side of my nature; welcoming my sexuality; loving the new found freedom to be just ME.
Don't! Stop!
Don't" she said softly as lips meandered and hands wandered.
I don't want to feel this way, she thinks as idle cruising caused instant tremors
"Stop" she said as pressure increased and hands found purchase on hips,
gentle massaging of breasts and teeth dragging across lips
Breathless sighs turned raspy groans
As practical decision succumbs to intuition
Her head drops in surrender and she realizes this battle is for another time, another place
"Don't. Stop. Don't...stop. Don't stop!" She pleads as he heeds her words this time and pushes her over and...

Broken
I feel shattered. Again.
I don't know where to start picking up the pieces of another broken connection
I thought I was smarter than laying myself on the line again, vulnerable to feelings
But I foolishly thought this would be different
Because I was prepared, we had a connection
Cerebral. Emotional. Spiritual
I covered every base.
Didn't see the forces creating a different reality
It was meant to be. Not.
What doesn't destroy, forges
This too shall pass
I hope.

I wake up slowly
I can’t face the world before my first lick of you
I can’t be civil until I’ve savaged you
The milkman and letter carrier can attest to this
As they are regular, fervent voyeurs to our bliss
Some people need coffee and some need a smoke
I can’t my day going until I have had a toke
Of the most addictive thing that I have ever known
The thing that makes me shudder and moan and groan
I can’t be civil until I’ve savaged you

Love don't cost a thing
I love me enough for both of us
Why does it pain you so to give love
And terrifies you even more to accept it
Why do you treat it as a curiosity
Like it’s something to be admired, but not handled
Like a priceless work of art...
Who broke you?
Who took your spirit?
Who crushed the wonder of life from your psyche
And left only a glassy eyed angel who exists but doesn’t live
We have no problem with trading our essence
You kneel at my altar and get me dripping in a heartbeat
You sup my sweet nectar like its life sustaining
And...

The A-fear
All affairs are fleeting
They satisfy a completely different set of needs
They can fix a broken life and help someone redefine their purpose
They can enhance a core relationship by bringing necessary excitement
They substitute for a while when no long term relationship is welcome
They become that one who enters your world for a reason and a season
In the end, they only fulfill secondary needs and not core business
You nurtured me through the darkest period of my life
I took what I needed from you to survive
We both knew from the beginning that it would...

Love notes for his briefcase
Our sweet and slippery slide back into love was unexpected this morning
The way you reached around to cup my mound
The playful love bites along my zone
The soft groans and languid movements
The full body massage as you explored me again and took your time
Your tongue massaging my center and extracting my essence had me weak
And when you finally stretched me to accommodate you, that stole my breath
I love the taste of me on you
I love the feel of you in me
I love the intense look on your face when you see my reaction as you hit that sweet spot
I love...

Kindred Spirits
Your aura reaches out to mine
I yearn for you but I am lost
I need you to seek harder, you have to find me
I feel you searching, you are getting closer
But I am in bondage and cannot help to direct you
I know that you’re the one I have been waiting for
I felt you as soon as you became aware of me
I’m not worried, I know you are on your way
It is ordained; you will find me
And then my own journey will start
I yearn for you but I am lost
I need you to seek harder, you have to find me
I feel you searching, you are getting closer
But I am in bondage and cannot help to direct you
I know that you’re the one I have been waiting for

Falling into Me
Her laughter was infectious; it reached out to me from across the room
I turned and picked her out immediately
The confident, yet subtly cocky way she stood by the window holding court
Head thrown back in full belly laugh as her friends regaled her with a story
She owned the room without even trying, this was her domain
Her body language screamed “I am who I am and I’m fucking happy with it”
She drew everyone in and she made time for each pledge that came to pay homage
I felt useless trying to resist the insidious pull towards her
Like everyone else, I was...

Me, myself and my fingers
Low lights, shadows playing off the ceiling
The air thick with promise of satiety
French vanilla candles flickering, scenting the room
Underlying exotic smells bloom as my essence is awakened
Folds are gently parted and the flower is unearthed
Ready to burst into bloom because it has been pruned and nurtured
Tentative touching, taking time to indulge
Playing out the exquisite torture
Wondrous exploration; every time it’s different and every time it’s the best
Finding that rhythm; building that wave; surfboard
Riding to crescendo; cresting; waves washing...

The Anatomy of a Perfect Kiss
I've always thought that there was no method to a kiss
You either dived right in and got it or cruised on in to get it
Either way, it started somewhere and ended some place else
In a tangle of tongues and sounds; of hands in hair and on skin
Of indrawn breaths and soft sighs; of heartfelt moans and harshly uttered groans
I never took time to feel the heightened awareness of the feel of freshly shaved skin on skin
The rasp of a goatee or ‘stache that tickled that spot just so
Didn't remember the feel of shirt fabric against one naked nipple ...

Sweet Surrender
Ebony, onyx, black tea
Smooth, strong, rich...especially when steeped.
Finely textured with a smooth finish
Rough but silky, moody and mysterious
My eyes slant away as I catch myself staring
But surreptitious glances keep taking in his posture
Coolly confident and sexy as hell
My fidgeting and lip biting giving away my tell
I look directly at him and silently confess the connection
My insides quiver at his imperceptible nod
Acknowledging my acquiescence
I knew then that my battle was over
I understood that lines drawn were compromised...

Then it hit me
I love you
Not with an expectation that you have to feel the same way
Not with the expectation that you have to say it back
I love your heart; I love your spirit
I love the fact that it's obvious to me that you have such a great capacity to love but you don't realize it
I love that love has hurt you and you're scared to trust it ever again but you have opened the door a crack to let me in
I love that you have trusted me with your heart; I do not take that lightly
I love that you are going against the grain opening up to me
But I love that your instinct...
