Love-light

If it shines truly,
if it's right,
love will guide
through darkest night.

Never Would I Whisper

I must speak to you
my silence.
Words
never
ever
would I whisper
if not a soul would hear.
Free of discovery.
Protected from censure.
Safe.

Yet, being words,
they clamor
against constraint.
Begging to be uttered.
Spilling forth
like silken hair
found suddenly
unrestrained.

Contrary to my wishes,
your acquaintance
they would make.
Shadowed nuance I let escape
to ease the burden of emotion
too keenly felt.
Still I will not speak.
If you would know them,
their introduction must be made
upon a page.

Those Boys

Darkness blankets the silence
of a world still fast asleep
as they were thrust rudely from dreams unrealized.
Those boys.
Alone in air so cold it's a trial
drawing breath.
Eternity stretches out before them
as they walk the road of the condemned,
never bothering to cast a longing
look back for escape.
Drudgery will fill the hours for them now.
They trudge grimly
as if this day were their last.
The joy of their youth,
far in the past.
All eyes are downcast as
they head off to school.

Fluid. Silent.
I see melodies glisten.
Hot breath, cold air
I had the sight to listen

Not the First

You were not first on my mind
when I opened my eyes
You were not the last fleeting thought
as I lay my head down
You were everything in between

Spent

Moonlight bathes your face

Fulfilling me becomes you

Tousled hair. I sleep.

If Only

Lowered lashes
I hid my need
Did wait for you
to take the lead

Longing strong
as was my pride
I could not draw you
to my side

I did not know
I could not see
that you couldn't get
enough of me

If you had dared
show your desire
I would have lit
your world on fire

My shoulder would
not now be cold
If only you
had been so bold

Snowflakes

Each delicate flake


lands chill upon my warm cheek.


Melting as I melt.

Sno-ku

The snow falls gently

Winter will no longer wait

Frozen, the earth sleeps

Sunrise upon me.

A great hunger seized my soul.

Haikus for breakfast.

You Simply

A simple thought you are.
My mind's creation.
Amazing. Persistent.
Intense.
Untended, the whole of you would unravel.
So I create.
You are non existent.
You fill my world.
Kept only at my whim.
My desire. A little secret. Tightly held.
You will not yield to reason. I do not wish to yield you.
Awash in sensation I keep you. For now.

Twigs woven through a tress
Moss stain upon my thighs
Leaves cling to my dress
Nature breathes my sigh

Damp earth provides the cushion
Your pleasure I consume
Sunlight my adoration
The breeze my sole perfume

A smudge upon my cheek
Eyes glow wicked with intent
Like the day upon its dawning
I am not nearly spent

Strayed

You have given me no direction.
I have strayed from my path.
I traveled light-heartedly,
whole-heartedly. Wistful.
Shadowed though it was,
warmth would peek through to enfold me.
I'd gather it closely. Content.
Delighted to be.
The long coolness erased
with one feather light touch.
I traveled softly. Secretly.
Left little trace.
I am sure you felt my presence.
Still feel me.
Am I a shiver of delight?
Do you remember?
My step left no impression
so lightly did I wend.
Fingertips lithesome in
their caress.
Remaining a mere whisper.
I, a longing of yours.
No more. No less.
A fleeting breath of touch.
Indelible.
My passage nearly unmarked.
Still, you will feel me forever now.
I will be the plea upon your lips.
Imagined thoroughly. Still unknown.
Necessary. Unattainable.
I wander on searching.
This path is no more.
I am hopeful in my resignation.
Unsettled in this state.
Eyes exchanging wistful glances
with forgotten dreams.
They peek out taunting.
It seems I have lost my way.
I was prepared for the loss.
I am ready for the return.
One foot follows the other.
The other follows it's desire.
Desire is fleeting.
My path has yet to be.

Sunday Morning

I stretch lazily
in the warmth of you.
Your lingering gaze
speaks love.

You bring your heat
streaming in
like hellfire
from above.

I bask in you
most pleasantly.
You cause my heart
to shine.

It's like you've soaked in
all I am
and found only
what is fine.

My single wish is
that you'll hold me,
for just a bit
of evermore.

Like a fairytale,
I see in you,
a dream
I've waited for.

I Closed My Eyes

I took a breath, closed my eyes,
I nearly had control!
My feelings overtook me.
What grip I had let go.

Never one for holding back,
my abandon is perfected.
Jeopardy, a siren song
and I, left unprotected.

This free fall took an eternity.
It happened in a blink.
Perhaps I'm perched upon the edge
always on the brink.

The descent, I look back fondly,
was filled with happy sighs.
Wind rushed by exhilarating.
I gave some lusty cries!

I was unafraid of toppling over.
I flung myself quite hard!
The freedom filled me up complete.
Intense was my reward!

Cascading clarity, I'm unrestrained.
This tumble took its toll.
It's a good thing I know how to land.
I always tuck and roll!

I Am Why

I am what you were promised
I am what brought you low
I am what you did wrong
and caused your tears to flow

I am certain that you know me
I am quite sure you feel my lash
I know you have me justified
That's why you dinna fash

You feel you have been done wrong
This just simply isn't true
It's always one's own actions
That cause the grief to brew

So put your sorrow down and
pull the last shard from your heart
Stand up straight, acknowledge me
You'll have a brand new start

You need never know my wrath again
You need never feel that pain
To know freedom in your universe
You need only to be sane.

Frosty the Hoarman

There was a frisky snowman
of somewhat ill repute
he glistened rather proudly
in his hoarfrost suit

Pimp hat tipped quite cockily
gold tooth shining bright
He waits with ill-hid felicity
at the coming of the night.

His bitches be arriving
by the carload for some fun
They know that frosty's carrot
is the biggest one.

Hoarfrost

The frozen flakes caress the limbs
of winters sleeping trees
The beauty gently cradles
while nature weaves her dreams

My Girl

My girl,
your damage was delivered
quite some time ago.

What promise
did impinge on you
and cause your blood to flow?

I swear
I did not deliver
the blow that took you down.

Not me
I venture sullenly
I try not to make you frown.

The poignancy
is all you have
your game has gotten small.

The sharpness
you hold closely
keeps you from it all.

Volatility
does not become you,
yet you wear it proud.

Careful dear
on those broken promises.
They'll have you in a shroud.

Nectar

You stain my cheeks blush
if you speak of my nectar
Oh your youthful ways

Scent-ual haiku

I inhale the bliss
The fragrance delights in me
I embrace it's joy

Elemental Play

Way way wayback I was a random assortment of elements swirling through space trying to get myself together.....at least I am not flying through space anymore.
~Patrick~ Thank you for your inspiration.


I see you dispersed.
I should gather you.
All your pieces.
Admire you to whole,
though the beauty
of you elemental
is a sight.
Your flow of raw power
courses through me,
like neutrinos on
their journey.
It fills me with delights.
Does not weigh me down.
Warms the very core of this soul.
Do I gather you? Contain you?
Or, shall I watch the dance?
Free, you span the entirety,
kicking up dust in your play.
How did you come to such a state?
I think I will recline
in Ambartsumian's Knot
and enjoy your design.
I will take each moment
and savor until such a time as
you feel you must collect yourself.

My Fall

I stand so unsure
since I've known you
You've made me question all

I have no right
to think these thoughts
I am Eve before the fall

Just a nip
I trust myself
I'll stop with just the one

I watch your eyes
You know my hunger
My dear, I am undone

I cautiously pluck
forbidden fruit
Eye it with pure lust

This choice I make
will raze my world
Yet I feel I must

Heaven meets my lips
I venture a sigh
of pure delight

Pleasure was surely
made of this
thus God created night

I lick it from my hand,
this juice
so very sweet

I intently savor
my fall from grace
Satisfied in my defeat

I am made of you
Our souls entwined
You cannot set me free

There is no persuasion
strong enough
for you to let me be

I need you more
With every breath
You have me at a loss

I, like Eve
partook of sin
I pray it's worth the cost
