Different Faces
It burns...
a slow seductive crawl
throughout eternity.
encompassing all,
devouring the weak,
scorching the strong.
It freezes...
one against another,
inflicting torment,
wreaking havoc,
creating misery,
crushing all.
It nurtures...
a passive peaceful conception
of becoming one.
siring laughter,
delivering joy,
maintaing faith.
a slow seductive crawl

A Single Watcher
He watches
a single eye
glaring;
ever watchful
for those in peril.
He fights
a single eye
darting-
through tempests raging
into the lost night.
He waits
a single eye
never faltering,
patiently navigating
travellers to sanctuary.

Sufferance
Rain falls in her mind
creating a dustbowl in her heart.
Freezing words
scorch her emotional visage.
A joyful wind
blows sorrow through her soul.

Freezing words
scorch her emotional visage.
A joyful wind

Contemplation
Catch a dream
Fulfill a fantasy
Be the star
Have it all
Win
Lose
Be
Does it matter?

Little Things
You call me beautiful
with sincerity in your face.
You surprise me at work
with a lunch hour break.
You leave little love notes
all over my abode.
You cuddle up next to me
and warm me when I'm cold.
You tease me unmercifuly
when I begin to pout.
When that man insulted me
I came and bailed you out.
It's all the little things you do
that tell me your not a sham.
What gets to me the most
is that you love me,
Just the way I am.
with sincerity in your face.
You surprise me at work
with a lunch hour break.
You leave little love notes
all over my abode.
You cuddle up next to me
and warm me when I'm cold.
You tease me unmercifuly
when I begin to pout.
When that man insulted me
I came and bailed you out.
It's all the little things you do
that tell me your not a sham.
What gets to me the most
is that you love me,
Just the way I am.

Wait
It will be simple they say
no more then 2 hours they claim
but 2 turned into 4
and 4 into 6, 6 became 8
we knew, they were too late.
They said it would take
20 hours to make,
the distance I needed to go
across 7 states.
It took me 15.
I hoped and I prayed,
that you would still be there,
that you would still wake.
I got 3 speeding tickets in 2 different states,
but that didn't matter
I could not be late.
you never woke up
I couldn't see your eyes,
the ones that they claimed
matched exactly to mine.

EROTIC POEM

Good Morning
I softly kiss your closed eyes,
trailing my lips down your scruffy cheeks,
across your jawbone to your lips,
where I softly nibble,
until you part your lips.
I deepen my kiss to ignite the fire that always burns.
When you open your eyes
its with that soft hungry look, reserved just for me.
I grin devilishly at you,
eyes full of mischief.
I lean deeper into your now awakening body
softly drag my fingernails down your neck and chest,
over the rolling planes of your stomach,
softening my touch
I trail them down your shaft,
to cup...
trailing my lips down your scruffy cheeks,
across your jawbone to your lips,
where I softly nibble,
until you part your lips.
I deepen my kiss to ignite the fire that always burns.
When you open your eyes
its with that soft hungry look, reserved just for me.
I grin devilishly at you,
eyes full of mischief.
I lean deeper into your now awakening body
softly drag my fingernails down your neck and chest,
over the rolling planes of your stomach,
softening my touch
I trail them down your shaft,
to cup...

Addicted
The ocean cries salty tears
breaking itself on jagged rocks
at the pain it suffers
but can not stop.
A seagull screams a cackling laugh,
at the pain it witnesses
choosing not to stop.
breaking itself on jagged rocks
at the pain it suffers
but can not stop.
A seagull screams a cackling laugh,

Anticpation
Anticipation
The miles that divide us
can not compare.
To the feelings I have for you,
and thoughts of my chair.
It won't be long now,
a couple hours of flight.
Until I see you in person,
oh God that gives me a fright.
It seems like only yesterday,
when we first said Hello.
We've traversed Middle Earth together,
and now it almost time to go.
I'm all packed and ready,
oh how my heart does pine.
When you pick me up at the airport,
I guarantee, I will make you mine.

One Thought
Thoughts of you slowly swirl through my mind
Like fallen leaves stuck in a gentle breeze
One stays stationary
The heaviest one
I watch you come towards me
A half smile on your lips
Your eyes so full of joy they throw off sparks
The closer you get
The faster my mind swirls
My heart pounds in anticipation
My eyes close
Trying to calm the maelstrom inside
I feel a gentle touch
Your thumb brushing across my cheek
My eyes snap open
To be captured by yours
Your thumb brushes my lower lip
My lips part, soft inhale
Heart aching...
Like fallen leaves stuck in a gentle breeze
One stays stationary
The heaviest one
I watch you come towards me
A half smile on your lips
Your eyes so full of joy they throw off sparks
The closer you get
The faster my mind swirls
My heart pounds in anticipation
My eyes close
Trying to calm the maelstrom inside
I feel a gentle touch
Your thumb brushing across my cheek
My eyes snap open
To be captured by yours
Your thumb brushes my lower lip
My lips part, soft inhale
Heart aching...

Nothing
The night wind calls my name
Whispering it softly against my cheek
The grass sways in harmony
To songs from the katydid choir
Yet, I hear nothing
The wolf howls his loneliness
To the cold unfeeling moon
The lake serenades the sand
With murmuring waves of affection
Yet, I hear nothing
The trees rustle their leaves
In the endless dance of life
As the bobcat screams his defiance
On this strange summer night
Yet, I hear nothing
The birds are beginning to sing
In encouragement to the sun
Who has just kissed the edge...
Whispering it softly against my cheek
The grass sways in harmony
To songs from the katydid choir
Yet, I hear nothing
The wolf howls his loneliness
To the cold unfeeling moon
The lake serenades the sand
With murmuring waves of affection
Yet, I hear nothing
The trees rustle their leaves
In the endless dance of life
As the bobcat screams his defiance
On this strange summer night
Yet, I hear nothing
The birds are beginning to sing
In encouragement to the sun
Who has just kissed the edge...
