Premium Member Pursuing Madness, Folly

   Twice around the world he sped
       pursuing madness, folly
   Unrequited lover he
       denied, his desperate volley

   Once ignited, passions roused
       flames obey no limits
    Wildfires scorch the tender earth
       unbridled desire's afterbirth

Where Passion Sets the Night Ablaze

There’s a fire that needs no flame,
A silent spark that calls your name,
A glance that lingers, hearts that race,
Two souls drawn closer into space.

The world grows quiet, time stands still,
As anticipation bends the will.
A whispered word, a trembling sigh,
A thousand feelings passing by.

It’s in the warmth of being near,
The kind of closeness that makes everything disappear.
No words are needed, none are planned,
Just the electricity of a gentle hand.

Passion isn't merely heat or desire,
It’s two hearts feeding the same fire.
It’s trust, connection, and letting go,
A language only two can know.

And then the heart gives way completely—
No walls remain, no distance between me.
For one breathtaking moment, nothing matters
But knowing you are here, and I am seen.

The noise of the world falls far away,
And every guarded feeling finds its place.
What began as a spark becomes something true—
A profound, trembling certainty of you.

And when the moment fades away,
Its echo lingers into day—
Not merely as a memory of the night,
But as a feeling that still carries light.

Premium Member The Last Page Is Missing

I was in the mood
              for a real page-turner.
My bibliophile friend
handed me a book of white-knuckle suspense.

"Read this! It's quite a doozy!," she promised.
And she wasn't lying....

I blew off many a phone call,
filed away my to-do lists,
prioritized book above all hobbies,
yadda yadda.....

I was surprised how fast I got to 
                  the final chapter.
Alas, I didn't get to close the book.
Not yet anyway...

A surprise I never anticipated, you see.
Ugh, never have I
groaned so loudly in my life!

Jane knew I'd come to her
confused, demanding an explanation....

"Hey, is this your idea of a practical joke?", I asked.
She guffawed her "Yes,"
            handing me 
       the last page she tore out.

Silly gal, best believe I'll get her back.....

The Pensive Poet

With a pending pen, a pensive poet ponders
As he wonders when and where to wedge the next rhyme
To split the rhythm hidden from passerby eyes
Only heard then, by those willing to wander

Daydreaming bare day, with just a hint for misty skies
A hint is but a hint to the tint of a poets eyes
So many wonder why his eyes open amidst his slumbers
When the seemingly soothing rain gently knocks lullabies

Call his name once, you'd think he turned a blind eye
Call his name twice. Do forgive his ventured mind
Bear in mind, like most, he bares the best of tough love
That Mother Nature gives along with swift Father Time
Bare in mind, his mind will write his every struggle
So give him time, peace of mind, a piece of yours shall come

By the boldest boast of thunder post the tundra coast
With his oldest, mostly tattered, tightly tethered poems
Roams the pensive poet - tired - holding on Dear Hope
Such is where the pensive poet's mind would wander most


Premium Member Raw Passion

A raw and powerful chemistry woke
At the sight your glorious smile.
My heart began to fancy you, hoping for a touch.

How I imagined the rush of your touch
From a lover's best dream, I woke.
Befuddled was I, dreamy eyed with a smile.

All near me knew, betrayed by their smile
And few could resist a poke or a touch!
Prodded back to reality, I woke.

So I woke with a smile, and dreamed on for her touch.

Letter to Mi Amor

She's magnificently lovely
She's like wine;so fine
Her love sweeter like the grapes from the vineyard 
Her touch ignites and blazes up like an inferno
She's the mistress and master of affection 
She's a doctor;stitches me up when am broken,Injects me with compassion when am depressed and puts me to bed on her bed of roses
She knits gowns of hope and leather jackets of passion
She knits armors of hope for the knights during combat
She chose me,I chose her
Together we'll walk out of the maze of bricks and thorns to the chamber of destiny.

Lemon Tea

I wanted to talk with you Jesus.
Found you in my heart.
I Love you Jesus.
Trusting you to return at the perfect time.
Lemon tea with Peace in my heart.
Under the stars till you Rapture us.
Waiting for Jesus my King to bring us home with him.

Premium Member Poetic Lips

I had heard about the legend of her lips,
so, at the sight of vermillion moonlight,
shimmering on turquoise ripples at twilight,
my soul ventured, craving the sighs of her sips.
Fate led towards a path of wooden shutters,
amidst the silence, silken whispers enticed,
upon her vision, all speech was sacrificed.
My heart danced like velvet butterfly flutters.

Her lips resembled two petals yearning for rain,
with an innocent blush resting on their tips,
curved liked sacred, unwritten poetic scripts,
I surrendered my muse for her kiss to drain.
They seemed to tremble, waiting to be explored.
An unspoken allurement composed through her eyes,
where she veiled a threshold of nectarous cries,
like dawn, we merged as the moon and sun adored.

In neroli mist we melted like molten gold,
lost volcanic spirits spilling in lava lust.
Her wildfire swept my senses like a spiced gust,
as hummingbirds, hummed about secrets untold.
There was a sinful sweetness in her caress.
In her sanctum, I forgot the essence of 'me,'
as her taste turned a blank page into poetry.
A rendezvous, which ylang ink cannot confess.

Premium Member As You Melt Into Me

        tie me to your tongue
                               as you melt into me.

                ever so softly, my sweet,
         whisper my name as you linger
                  in my loving embrace;
feel the warmth of my breath on your face.

             chest to chest, can you feel 
       my heartbeats against yours as we
                 surge through the pulse
             of passion's flickering flame?

        tie me to your tongue 
                               as you melt into me.

         come closer to me, i implore thee,
 let's stay the night under the jealous moon.
           as your hungry eyes meet mine,
           let me taste heaven in your kiss.

      yes,  my beloved, kiss me to resurrect
         a dormant desire that used to rage
             like a hurricane. let our hearts
     be carefree as twilight grows feet to run.

        tie me to your tongue 
                               as you melt into me.

A Hundred Miles

I'll walk a hundred miles with thee for love
Ignite me with your passion 
~ entwined souls never part ~

Dancing blind

I feel as if I could see — is it shock?
The wind from the flying skirts hit my face.
Music starts getting louder; the walls rock.
Within all the people, I feel my trace.

Warm skin on mine, every touch feels like fire.
I'm standing high, like the moon over the room.
My dancing legs calling my blind eyes liar.
People keep looking at me while I bloom.

I don't need to see as long as I feel.
Why even try to cry if there's no eye?
Bodies tickling, spinning around like wheels.
I know for sure tonight won't break the heel.

It's a feeling through moves that never stop.
If your eyesight goes, you'll still see a lot.

                Juan bought seats for the pickleball tourney
                Sonia was glad to go on their journey
                      Juan showed her his paddle
                      She made it go ‘twaddle’
                 Sonia was pleased, said ~ 'Seems you prefer me'

A Hold On Power

The bow is taut, passion tight
Get a shot off! Get a shot off!
Where will the passion land?
A strategic misdirection

Waiting for sweet release
All possibilities in existence
A strategic misdirection
The essence of a passion tight

Before the shot goes off
A strategic misdirection
Watch your head! Mind your head!
Anticipated release

A strategic misdirection
Whilst the bow is taut
Get a shot off! Watch it fire!
Ready your art for war
