Best Leather Poems

Leather jacket draped over her shoulders
My feeble attempt at gallantry
Protecting sweet maiden from the cold
A small smile spreads over her face

My feeble attempt at gallantry
Still I longed for the rain to reveal her breasts
A small smile spreads over her face
The rain would have soaked her...

A faded leather notebook filled with lines he'd never read
  Was never far away from where he slept
The book that she had written since her love was but a seed
  A book so full of her he always wept
She never let him read...

You are as the lightning to the rod of my soul
You move through me in rumbling thunder and torrential rain
You are the cellular sea of my spirit and I can deny you nothing
Enter at will into my being but bring only kindness and light
Tread gently...

Leather Jacket

Gym shoes, sipping a malt
Leather jacket, tight jeans.
She fell so helpless with him under the sheets.
His skin..total velvet-sweet.

Ah, those magenta hues~
From the hotel light flashing.
Cable cars bells ringing.
A night to remember, her 
soul singing,
Total sexual splendor.
She'll forever remember~
Her....San Francisco.

Blood started pumping
                     At the very thought
I saw it in the window

I knew that he often stared at me…
in the cafeteria or on the crowded elevator
but his reflex was swift… or so he thought
each time he’d avert his eyes just as I'd raise mine
 
         He’d decided he...

A mountain of shoes,
Tower the valley of clothes:
Holocaust landscape.

Leather jacket cloaked
upon shoulders worldly wise
together they lay
within the Pacific floor.
New Year gift to keep her dry.

Second Hand Leather
Cocooned in love
The day was frightfully cold with snow softly falling. I was not prepared for this but 
only for the warmth of sunshine. I stepped off the plane covered only in a sundress 
and sandals.  I began to shiver as I...

Excited
when I  got
up I  slipped
into my  jeans    
pulled  on my boots
and grabbed an apple for
each pocket in my jean jacket. 

You watch as I drive up then
immediately start to ignore.
I climb the fence,
sit and take an apple
and start...

Mountains of leather,
Summit holocaust landscapes:
Valley of dead soles.

My Grandad wore his leather belt with pride 
Lions head buckle he'd polish till it shone
Always said I could have it when he died
His death came and then I felt so alone .

During the D. Day landings on sword beach
Fellow soldier hit in German air...

A new sheriff in town named Shaw
 Came to get rid of an outlaw
 They would slap leather soon
 Around the time of noon
  Sheriff was faster on the draw!

Just a man in a leather chair
Is what it seems I have become—
Who once had dreams and far-flung schemes
And danced lightly into the sun.

I used to mock all those old men
Who watched the things that could not be—
Not dreaming then with all my gall,
That what...

She shivers because of the extreme cold
It’s misting rain out of the sky today
She tries to be real strong and oh so bold
But she’s still shaking here in every way
The weather looks to be this way all day

We’ve been together all throughout the years
There are...
