Passion
Ardor feels are divine
Bodies erotically entwine
Caresses eagerly connect
Desires meet to intersect
Emotions feed passion
Fondlings sassy fashion

Intimate whispers tingle
Joining lips mingle
Kisses feed desire
Loins share ardor’s fire
Moving hips enthuse
Needy bodies fuse ...

Letter from a Wishful Lover - Feb 22To let my wanton gaze go wandering
And graze giddily your saintly silhouette,
With wonder watching you and pondering
What wild pensées through my fancy pirouette;
To glimpse a glimmer gleaming from your gloss,
A sparkle shining gaily on...

Said, “Reduction would be so silly…
“I make all my friends laugh
When it’s used as a scarf
Which prevents my neck getting chilly!”

In The Shadows Of PinkIn the shadows of pink, a story unfolds,
Whispers of courage, of battles retold.
A journey through darkness, where hope finds its way,
Together we stand, bringing them a light ray.
Each ribbon a promise, each tear a prayer,

Snake Queen(Verse 1)
Old World regal, check the vibes, I'm livin' lavish,
Maybach music, oh so classic, like a royal palace.
Silk drapes, gold plates, we in a zone of grandeur,
Heavy R&B vibes, smooth like a dancer's maneuver.
Crown on...

How much phosphorus in a human bodyHow much positive phosphorus is in a human body?
I hear the facts in tiny whispered scientific snatches
Stated by a biologist named Mr. John T. Roddy
Each of us has enough to make twenty-two hundred matches...

Rainbow bodyTruth sounds like a believe it or not tale,
when interpreted by limited mind,
which can but offer a concoction stale
but if we leave conditioned thoughts behind,

Yesterday's PerfumeGone are the rhythms of your body
As you lay beside me sleeping,
Hair cascading across our pillow,
With your arms so soft and warm.
Our cold wrinkled sheets rest half empty,
Save for yesterday’s perfume.

Painful LifeTo lie up in this bed and be so weak
Daydream to the world and can't even speak
Everyone thinks I'm strong, but don't have a clue.
I'm fighting for my life with everything to lose. ...

Rise above the demonic shouts
The verbal and physical abuse

There is no reason to worry wait
For an apology to come my way
I am but a poor...
