In the Garden of Her Winter (tribute to my heroes; single moms)
In the garden of her winter, hope lies just beneath
the hard earth of heart, which steadily bequeaths
a single green petal, fragile, seemingly alone
yet strength to rival atlas, pushing past rock and stone
this single bud unnoticed in a garden of plenty
nature's grand treasure, nourishing many
winds of might assail, crushing many blooms
rains of heaven pour, sparking the gardens doom
cycle of life renews, clouds slip into sleep
this tender flower stands, wonder of roots deep
endless the stream of birds...

Where I Am
Where am I today?
Parallel to the cut horizon
Riding a current of introspection
Skimming fingers through oceans of amour
Confronting wind resistance cresting my face
I close my eyes
My soul sees ahead
beyond the boundaries of today
The view is magnificent
Magenta rays transcend to vibrant life
Behind my eyes
The sun of my soul
Lambency of desire
A sconce on my visage
I fear not the fall
as my feet are earth-stained
I lick...

One More Tear
Behind the door softly weeping
One more scar, one more beating
One more tear, they fall like rain
Deep inside she hides the pain
Not understanding why
she covers up their lies
Unquestioned love
"Why don’t they love me back?"
They try to cover up her wounds
Child of innocence, an angel soon
No more tears
no more sorrow
One more lost
to a brighter tomorrow
One more scar, one more beating
One more tear, they fall like rain
Deep inside she hides the pain
Not understanding why
she covers up their lies
Unquestioned love
"Why don’t they love me back?"
They try to cover up her wounds
Child of innocence, an angel soon
No more tears
no more sorrow
One more lost
to a brighter tomorrow

Senses Unfettered
Senses illuminate
Skin saturate
Heart permeate
Soul inebriate
Star kissed laughter
gasping through the sweet after
At daybreak the Sun's brilliance
matched by the glow
of this salacious obsession
Skate upon thin ice of chance
never fearful of the break
the fall is worth the chill

Tapestry
Woven of time and promises, we become our own tapestry
captured by the gesture of the hand
the curve of the smile
and the glint of the eye
pull tight the final string
Desire exists behind the eyes of reason
look and you will see it there
Somewhere between the rich earth and cobalt sky
where there is a rushing of tides
that push and pull
without asking why
Staring at midnight...
Sickle moon cuts velvet sky
draw heat from burning stars
Beats the pulse of electric night
flow currents through the veins
Echo of...

All by Myself
Laid in bed
I immerse
myself in
yummilicious verse
Behind closed eyes
I dream a dream
slowly heartbeat
starts to rise
Golden curls on
pillow splayed
thoughts of you and I
are played
Phantom lips
upon your skin
wet desire
the heat within
On bedsheets lay
a naked form
I tease and please
your soul it soars
Fingers find that
special place
upon which my lips
would love to taste
Your hair I feel
quaint brush of thighs
resounding all
loud moans and...

Billie Holliday
In a smoke filled room you witness
A heavy haze of husky jazz
Bladders pounding off trumpets blazing
Soft scats off the drums sway
While tinkling licks dance hot off the ivories
The sweet whine of the tenor voiced sax tantalizes the room
Long armed trombone notes draw you into the beat
In a single spotlight
A sultry vixen approaches the mike
A deep low moan emits from this kitten of the night
Sparkling brighter than a million diamonds
Her curves hugged up tight in her second skin, crimson red...

The Taste of Your Lips
What could be more
than the taste of your lips?
As my thoughts ponder the raindrops
left on my window
my fingertips softly touch
the cold glass
My breath making the outside world unclear
Your lips taste of smooth wine
caressed in bliss
Stealing up the covers
the rain reminds me of the time you cried
without question or hesitation
you gave your love to me
Tears of Joy
Your lips spoke a whisper
I forever recognize
It seems the windows should have been
opened
How the rain would feel...
than the taste of your lips?
As my thoughts ponder the raindrops
left on my window
my fingertips softly touch
the cold glass
My breath making the outside world unclear
Your lips taste of smooth wine
caressed in bliss
Stealing up the covers
the rain reminds me of the time you cried
without question or hesitation
you gave your love to me
Tears of Joy
Your lips spoke a whisper
I forever recognize
It seems the windows should have been
opened

It's Been Forever
It’s been forever now
since I have been
where I am from
I’ve visited all the places I've known
the lakes and creek and roads
slept in the houses
that held my youth and dreams
but it’s been forever now
since I have been
where I am from
I wonder, sometimes
if it still exists on a map
A small solid place
that inside
seemed as large as the world
the walls thick and proof
against sound and cold
the fire in the grate
making the air smell
like a holiday
And company
there always was
whether I knew...

Chocolate melts..
Pleasures and wonder of life
Your voice is steady
Strength conveyed in your words
Wantoness drenches my mind
Stirring in me a want
Never felt like this
From mere words
Your voice caresses my soul
Colors of passions released
Your pleasure is my command
I give…
Mesmerized by your intellect
You pull from me deep within
My heart a constant flutter
I surrender all boundaries with you
Not enough hours in the day
My mind longs for more yet thrives in what we...

Touch
Your hands feel like eternity as one moment blends into another
I am lost in the shape of your face
contoured continuum
where a placing of the hand knows every inch of its home
Fingertips have memorized every line
the trace of your lips
Each strand of hair lulls the skin into peaceful poetry
Eyes love what they see
countless sighs that have transposed
from one soul to another
What passes could never compare
to whats always yet to come
Even with no words between us I hear your heart...
I am lost in the shape of your face
contoured continuum
where a placing of the hand knows every inch of its home
Fingertips have memorized every line
the trace of your lips
Each strand of hair lulls the skin into peaceful poetry
Eyes love what they see
countless sighs that have transposed
from one soul to another
What passes could never compare
to whats always yet to come
Even with no words between us I hear your heart...
