Her Fan-Ta-Sy

Yo check it…
Dis classy lady she been cruizin’ da lanes
Just chillin on da road tryin ta ease her pains
Yeah mmm… mmm… mmm
Yeah
Tryin ta ease her pains
When befoe da eyes such a sight came to be
Da most beauteous car in his-to-ry
Yeah dats it
In history
It sent her mind outta control  creatin’ thoughts

Midnight blue wit purple bling

Her fan-ta-sy to be complete
Need a man to make her scream
Yeah mmm… mmm… mmm
Make her scream
He tall, and dark and oh so wild
Recitin’ da poems like in her dream
An in her hand going down da road
She hold her love
Dat sweet ice cream
Yeah mmm… mmm… mmm

Blades of Kindness

Vexatious destroyer of my soul behold what has been done
Timeless and eternal I cycle through endless days of woe
Into the shadows of chaos I go - seeking, searching and lost
Swiftly your knife slices cleanly in, into my flesh so weak
 
That blade of kindness cuts to the core
Digging, delving and sore
What’s there to find? Nothing but air -
a hole in need of repair
 
Such a tattered soul as mine today can hardly take it in
Grasping for hands lovingly sent ethereal mists enshroud
Pain and anguish tear through my being, for what does this portend?
Loss, abandonment, deeper sorrow - punishment for my sin
 
One more kind word will slay me
As ribbons of flesh lay scattered
Scattered in this world of pain
I need, and hate, and yearn, and cry
A total wreck am I
 
Tears escape unbidden as endless cycles resume

Pour Toujours Et a Jamais

An ethereal umbilical cord 
- connected - you and I 
sight unseen
across vast oceans.
Spiraling ribbons enchanted my soul
tickling a smile from my lips.
Your gaze captured my heart,
delivering light from the twinkle
I beheld.
Tears escape as I know communion will never be…
Tethered forever to you.

A Gentleman's Prayer

Delicate lace could never compare
intricate weaves thus woven.
Weft and warp
by Nature's hand
~ wings of gossamer strand!

Precious fairy ~ golden-green tips
A boon I beg of thee
~ a brush of rosy lips.

Bonds No Man Can Break

we bridge the gap
with a simple hello
a gulf as wide as the ocean

we bridge the gap
with loving words
separated by barriers strong

we bridge the gap
with friendship
bonds no man can break

we bridge the gap and say hello our love in friendship grows

Sands of Time

Particles...
matter...
progenitor of glass           
refined like a chandelier.
                                
Crystal realities shine like rainbows              
dancing in the air.                                          
Shattered and broken
shards splinter and fall,   
splinter and fall to the ground...                         
swept up as debris and tossed in the bin.          
 
How...
and more importantly why?                  
 
Oh, why did such sorrow come calling on me? 
 
Why am I tossed in the trash?                         
 
Eons of time break me down,
down to my very core 
to be washed ashore, broken and shorn
by the waves of the unceasing sea.          
 
Look at my presence,
look at me now.               
 
Look...
what has become...
of me.

Dark Steed

in the garden of thy dreams think of me
oh wander long with me amid sweet paths
in darkened night by moonlit streams we hath
but hours to sup and linger lovingly
 
oh drink of me and I of thee sweet wine
fresh innocence thy suppleness doth sing
and to the table such charms thou dost bring!
my thoughts do linger long on thee ~ I pine
 
tis why I ask thee dream of me this night
my heaving breast against thy beating heart
is all I hope and ask to never part
my love is bared before thee in plain sight
 
oh dearest lover make me thine indeed
make bright my day and darkest night dark steed

Pink Confection

hot and sweltering  
         pink lemonade popsicles drip
               
lemon sweet drops
on crisp linen aprons
                                         
burning               
with anticipation                                        
     cool sensations                                             
          satisfy deeply ~

Love Is -- Vignettes

Love Is...
 
I

Elusive mist passes through her fingers
Love envelopes and clings hot and humid
Once dry she wonders if she ever felt anything at all
Parched she cracks and awaits the rain

II

Swimming deep and then buoyed to the surface
She bubbles with excitement
Glorious joy infuses her being
Love engulfs her as she drowns

III

A cool glass beaded with moisture
In control she sips and exhales a sigh 
Love lingers imparting pleasure
Sip by sip she and he become one

Within

Writhing thoughts tangle and swirl
Inside my head, darkly
Teasing and taunting making me long
Hoping for light so sweet
Inside my head I'm already dead
Nothing but light can atone
