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
