Best Tlr Poems
Ocean MysteryAzure skies
Alabaster sands
Emerald seas
Scent of comfort
From my earliest days
Surf sounds
To ease worldly pains
Ocean fragrance
Soothes and calms
Beach therapy for the soul
The sea
And my soul
Intertwined from birth
Drawn to shores
Like moth to flame
Rhythmic waves
On sandy edge
Like the heartbeat
Of a mother
Calms a child

Yearning SoMy lips
Taste the salt
Of passion’s heat
The nectar of our love
Fresh on my tongue
Our bodies yearning
Always yearning,
Never satisfied,
We crave each other
As a deep addiction
Of two linked souls

Heart's WingsWhy chance
to open one’s heart
at the risk of loss
of invested feelings?
Guarded hearts
do not get wounded
but neither do they soar
like eagles on the wind
To risk is to gain
or sometime lose
but less loss than
never having wings

ComfortYour love
Like a warm winter blanket
Envelopes me
And takes all cares away
Your touch
Flows through my body
Like morphine
Easing my stress and pain
Your spirit
Lifting me up and away
Reminding me
That worldly thing matter not
Your love
Source of my comfort
Heals me
And feeds my soul

NanaPure joy,
Two generations down
Sweet child
Blessings abound
Innocent smile
Laughs, giggles
Abundant energy
And many wiggles
Daughter of my daughter,
Same beautiful eyes.
Gift from heaven
A wondrous prize
Every day a new wonder
Too fast do you grow
I dare not blink
grown before you know

My Missing PieceNow that we have had the miracle
Of finding each other on this incredible journey
Having seen how our embraces
Flow and fit as if part of a master plan
We are one, complete and whole
To release our hold even for a moment
To go out in...

Two SoulsTwo sets of lips
Touch gently in the night,
Two hearts beat with a thrill
Romantic beginnings are powerful,
Sensual, invigorating, intimidating
And make life so vibrant and worth living
Two minds intertwine
Striving to learn each other's pasts
Dreams, likes, dislikes and passions
Excited about future
Fearing missteps to ruin it all
But blazing...

Soaring HeartWhen you walk into the room
my heart takes off like an Eagle in the wind
Soaring, with exhilaration and thrill
When I see your smile
my heart melts with the love that abounds
from your caring, loving soul
When I feel your tender touch
I feel healed from every...

AwakeningEmergency over,
crisis resolved,
body mended in part.
The quiet time allows reflection,
a mirror held to my eyes to see
What is really important?
Career? Ego? Self?
Inventions of man,
all puffed up
but empty inside
The walls
come down
crushing the old
And allowing
The new to unfold
The new is actually
the old renewed

My Heart, My SoulMy Heart, My Soul
You rescued me
Adrift with no center,
No anchor for my heart
No shelter for my soul
You embrace me
Love’s warm blanket
So caressing my heart
So caressing my soul
You encourage me
As lover, partner, friend
So uplifting my heart
So uplifting my soul
You love me
Like...

Your TouchSilky soft
Intimate moment
Your tender touch
Moves me
Beyond description
Love flows
Through your fingertips
And into my warm
Sensitive skin
Straight to my heart
Gentle caresses
Across my body
Reflect your heart
And your steadfast love
Calming my wounded spirit
Lips to lips
Breast to chest
I feel every point
Of your body’s touch
Fanning the...

Night's CaressesYour radiant smile
Like the sun
Melts me
Into a puddle of desire
Heating my heart
Making my blood
Boil
With passion
Two bodies together
Heat upon heat
Sweet sweat
Of lovers
Unbridled sensations
Mouths wet
Sweet honeypot
Wetter still
Time stops
Only the two
Exist for the passions
Until the morning sun

Mirror, MirrorMirror, mirror
You double edged sword
We use you
to straighten our look
before
going into the world
But also
you show our flaws,
a wrinkle here,
a blemish there,
to say absolutely nothing
About our hair!
Events in life,
conflict and tragedy
betrayals and strife
can act
like that mirror
to reveal our flaws
Or our mistakes
if...

Fall From GraceI am
But a worm
Crawling in the
Damp dark earth
Or yet
A creepy bug
That can neither
Fly nor walk
Have I
Stumbled so far
To warrant
This transformation?
How have
I so lost
My way
As to lack human form?
Insidious erosion
Of things so fair
And decent
Day by day die
Discipline the...

Sweet CinnamonSweet Cinnamon
Sweet smiles
Sweet whispers
Falling into each other’s arms
We enter our private world
Far from pain and harm
Warm hearts
Warm touch
We tightly cling to each other
Our intimate embrace
Like armor does cover
Our love
Our passion
Unite us in ways we never imagined
Like lovers from another life
Reunited in this...
