My Dearest Dove

If I could Harken to thee, a sonnet,
of loves most great desires,
the mere utterance, would warm thine ears
as the soft crackles of lusts fires

The ambiance, of shadows dance
across the Scottish tapestry,
Muses, light footed, pirouetting
my symphony, my love for thee

Fairest is thy silken mane
of the finest Irish Auburn,
brilliant as a cool autumn day
as the leaves of the maple turn

The tower bells, they toll for thee
as pale moon, illuminates the night
hark, the far cry, my dearest dove
of the owlet, so yearning flight

The petals of the Royal Rose
silken soft, compared to thy blushing skin,
or the Emerald glow, of thine own eyes
alit, passion, kindled from within

Mine own heart, burns with ever fire
that, which only thee, can conquer,
Conquer thee not, my dearest dove
for our love, forever, must endure

Harken to me my dearest Dove
sweet sonnets, from silken lips,
for I know thou shall be to me
as close as my finger tips.

Rock ... Rock

Rock ...

Rock ...

The dry leaves crackle under our blanket
One of only two sounds that find me
The other is her

Rock ...

Rock ...

Pure and lovely
Wanted and wanting
She is all

Rock ... 

Rock ...

Skin against skin
Joy upon joy
We find heaven for a time

Rock ...

Rock ...

There is no pain and we suffer not
There is only Us
Us and the autumn leaves

Rock ...

Rock ...

I can not tell her sweat from mine
Everything is as one
As our bodies

Rock ... 

Rock ...

I hear my name on her lips
It sounds natural
It feels right

Rock ...

Rock ...

Her hair dances across my face
It smells of strawberries
Strawberries and Us

Rock ...

Rock ...

I feel it and her body tenses and trembles
I see the passion being excised
I see the pleasure become too much

Rock ...

Rock ...

It rolls over me and I lose control
For a moment I feel one with the entire world
I hear her playful laugh
                                  Her shy laugh  
                                                      Her dirty little girl laugh

Rock ...

I fall to the blanket
The crunching leaves greet me 
With dry and welcome applause

I love her
I love her

I think that she loves me, too

Opus In Silk

She who holds a seamlessly symmetrical silhouette 
so supple to the touch 
coupled by hips on sticks of tango, that inimitable set of pins 
simper at all that you clutch 

Bob nearer the eyes of delight 
now attune and bound for that which you pine. 
sweet quarry in search of marvel, of unmoved bliss 
of skin against skin and devoid of the wine 

Posture within posture you exude the line 
that this foreplay is vessel to where 
and piece in arriving where you began 
tender so to flatter the tips of foothills 
and the tally of the gentle man. 

He fastidious with his touches and the gather 
Dosed with melodious songs of time 
that dance inside a stone-solid nightstick 
making shape of fervent ferry 
perfect in rhythm, poignant in rhyme 

Edging toward frenzy, blinded by light that cuts athwart 
He in whisper, you in shiver, ever-soft, all through the night. 
You embrace and clutch that which you won. 
Two mere afloat - amid sugary scented, tepid milk 
and silk of a tensile strength higher than the foil. 
Both in concert but as one. 

Revel inside the puff and wail delight 
bask in pallid threads of all heavens 
and darkle with enchanted angels. 
Blush, preserve the sevens and elevens 

Yelp at the moon and talk in tongues 
assent to leer toward implosion 
Near slumber now, etch precious 
beside the scent of the richest of teas 
and bouquets of nomadic autumn 

Sleep over leaves that are green 
and kaleidoscope-vivid 
enhance your reverie and tempt the pungent perfume 
of the tenderly-parented Pinot

Blissful Torture

Sitting here again 
Smelling the autumn air 
Remembering the blood 
The taste upon my lips 
As my tongue licked it away 
Feeling my heart beating rapidly 
Trying to move but unable 
Wanting to escape but frozen 
Enjoying forbidden pleasure 
Sucking life out of the living 
Hearing the screams as music 
Terror enveloping my soul 
Relishing in pain 
Lusting

The Thought of You

His eyes are pools of autumn fire
An intense gaze, of which I never tire.
To drown in their depths a pleasant death
He comes in closer, I loose my breath.
Our pulses quicken, skin tingles, a live wire.


The touch of his hand upon my skin
As he looks into my eyes, my thoughts are a sin.
Taking me into his strong arms, he holds me
Even in his tight embrace, I feel so free.
The beat of his heart, is my hearts twin.


His breathy voice, whispered into my ear
The sound of it excites me, brings me near.
The thoughts in my head, vivid imagination
The feelings for him a strong fascination.
To loose him now is my only fear.


The future is an unknown mystery
Will I always be alone, will he come to me?
With him close to my side I will be complete 
The sight of him, his touch, will be so sweet.
Whatever he wants, whatever he needs...I will be.

Chaise

I know that we are strangers
But I'd like to see your face
There's something so familiar 
About the way you turn in haste...
In golden strap tied sandals
That come right below your calf
Beholding to the candles
As it splits the flames in half....
Against the blackest marble
That is darker than it's glare
Like the moon in Autumn 
As it penetrates each layer...
That is falling off your body
As you turn toward the wall 
On that Italian leather 
That I know will break your fall...
But you remain a mystery 
Till I become that chaise
To hold you in a tryst to be 
So I can take it's place...

The Burning of a Masterpiece

On the easel of my horizon 
Monet was painting 
an autumn twilight,
but I watched as smoke 
gray fingers 
smeared his pastel
and my visions wisp-ed away 


a god spoke of burning
the testament of life, 
every single letter 
of every verse, 


now?
they feather to ash 
on the breeze,
I burnt them,


I woke yester-year
with a poet in residence, 
but today, today?
I awoke the scribbler
living on the nothing 
of me 


before each page 
passed over the flames
and consumed in the 
reaching fingers of black,
melting to mould 
each strip of my flesh,


I close my eyes
and feel the ridge
of a word, a letter
I allowed them 
to sear my palms, 


I brush caked salt 
from the corner 
of my mouth,


as I handed each poem 
to a quick death, 
I read the Misery 
of each page 
that flares,


those black fingers
now curl black strips 
of my mantel, 
like scrapping paint 


flaccid but not broken,
I pick at a piece of ash
in hopes of piecing, 
a poet back together


but Monet has left  
and I can only sketch 
in the charcoal 


with a god, 
whispering in my ear, 
that I must burn for nothing

Eternal Dancing (A Fall Poem)

Embracing the floating leaves
They paint so free in amber, cherry sun 
Bright eyes passing hope through lonely echo
River the voices receiving warmth
Branching air with hope, the forever flight

Dancing in Autumn leaves
Reborn through hands, what ancient lives
Shine empty earth with sacred fire
There is a birth expired within these deaths
Magic blessing releases wishes to light

Praying in the Autumn fire
Unleashing seeds instead of dead leaves
Atoning whispers that bleed new names
So temporary, this giving of time, souls unwind
Eternal the leaves that kiss their last breath.

Under Cover of Night

The ambient moon hangs graciously over us this evening
As the autumn breezes chill us just enough to stir senses
But, yet we walk together, enjoying the time we have 
…..In the moonlight…
The sound of quiet and distant traffic does little to distract
While we traverse the offerings of earth and the moment
As we make way to the destination of our hearts and minds
…..In the moonlight…
