Best Dodoitsu Poems

We Are All the Same
Listen to the reeds as they sway apart;
Hear them speak of lost friends.
At birth, you were cut from your bed,
Crying and grasping in separation.
Everyone listens, knowing your song.
You yearn for others who know your name,
And the words to your lament.
We are...

I came across my first love
You were always in my arms
Swore we’d never be apart
But I let you go

Now we are reunited
My heart just beats like a drum
I can’t take my eyes off you ...
My first teddy bear

one fine day they changed places
fireflies lit daytime shadows
while butterflies splashed the night
a shrewd color scheme

bright hues and exotic moon
flittering and fluttering
pure rapture under the stars
midnight was dreaming

the firefly shadows twinkled
above the enraptured blooms
the fervent day seemed to pause
in search of the moon...

I gaze at those fireflies in
your butter-sweet eyes that shine,
succulent with white lush pulp
of love's purity,

you hue my wildflower heart
with hyacinth, as we twirl
like spring-shaded tulips in
life's regal-black psalms; 

mon cherie, I wish for stars
to sequin your shimmering
wine soul and cradle comets
of faith in your...

golden moonlight streams through trees

whose limbs are laden with leaves

as wind's susurrus lulls me

into autumn's dream...

he shouldn’t have trusted his sight…
it was my twin, he embraced~
awkward tale of lust.....

Spicy experiment! 


Victoria secret bra
Love, toy with hidden pleasure 
sweet surrender to my taste 
grenade ecstasy. 

----------------------------------

Spicy taboo!

Sticky forbidden kisses
buffalo breath down my neck 
leak like a water faucet
time to get a fix.

the touch of his evening sky

   lingers on my fluid mouth

     exploring tantric kisses…

       without need for words

On our skin gleams pearl white sand
in the sheen of setting sun.
From sea deep as our love - come
waves caressing land.

Against a night frightened white,
a tall tree stands - skeletal -
transfixing me one winter
on my woodland walk.

Small trees surround the tall one.
They extend icy fingers
as if to help point me out
to the taller tree.

The hairs rise on my arms as
I view the long black limbs...

Face to face body leaning
Clothes flying fast to the ground
Breath becoming loud and quick
Disappear in love...

Somewhere in the languid night
I'll chase the dark to find you….
Do you search a distant sky
this lonely hour?

There are lights upon the trail,
where I have gathered the stars,
The moon will be a candle-
while darkness frees you

With the friendship of the night
I tread the dark in...

In her dumpster fades away
    posy of love-struck feelings.
I plucked from my heart's garden,
           now a barren land.

The cold sun’s anemic arc, 
    skirts the day with crystal frill. 
    Prancing just above the pines,   
       sun dogs wag their tails.

the tree he planted still stands
wrapped in autumn’s fiery hues
while his colors have faded
…I visit his grave
