I didn't call him, just as the wind doesn't ask permission to caress the rusty leaves

I didn't call him, just as the wind doesn't ask permission to caress the rusty leaves,
I sat there, crushing the day in my palms like an old parchment of forgotten memories,
I let the water boil, and the shadow of the apple tree poured stories onto the tired grass,
He came unannounced, like an echo from another

Weeping willow, why do your catkins caress the fields of sunflowers

Weeping willow, why do your catkins caress the fields of sunflowers
when they themselves are hallucinogenic dreams dancing in the secret wind?
Why do your cold and rigid branches yearn for warmth when a smoldering fire burns within you,
between your wooden ribs, embracing you with its hidden and fiery flames?
Weeping willow, why do you let your branches

caress of an old friend

Depression
Its darkness.
A cold embrace,
An old friend.
It welcomes me,
like a lighthouse after a tragic storm.
I feel her claws like a deceiving caress
Her words drown me in blanket of numbness 
Bitterness maws at me like a rabid wolf
I sleep
I eat
I sleep again. 
Praying she doesn’t invade my dreams.
Too late.
Grades drop faster than silence after I tell someone

Like A Soft Caress On The Skin, Filled With Enchanting Sin

Come to me like a wild horse unbridled longing for the river 
like a morning prayer on the heart wanting nothing more 
Come to me with pining like a widow waiting for her love 
like a soldier in the trenches, begging for cease fire ...

Come to me like a dove gliding over peaceful waters 
like

Caress

Caress the stars that twinkle
the sprinkle of glints on seas
the leaf that lilts on gentle breeze
the flit of busy robin's tail

Caress the murmur of babbling brook
the lapping as puppy drinks from bowl
the rolling, rumbling peeling thunder
expectant soon, from pregnant flashes in sky

Caress the smell of rain on straw
the waft of bread baking
the scent of rose

Purple Dreams In Other Realms

Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see 
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,     
she shone like the midnight sun; 
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical  
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!




Her arms as tender

The waves gently caress my feet, leaving traces of sand as they retreat

The waves gently caress my feet, leaving traces of sand as they retreat,
A weight presses on my heart, leaving me still, bound to memories,
For I still see you beside me, as if you never left this place,
The sunset by the waves reflects the tremor in my heart, reminding me of you,
Here, buried in the sand,

In a world of shadows and echoes, where every step is a caress of silence

In a world of shadows and echoes, where every step is a caress of silence,
There is no sweeter release from the claws of reality than through art; and man,
This seeker of hidden meanings, can form no more certain a bond with it than through art.
This release of knowledge from the bondage of will, this self-forgetting

Caress

The touch of your hand
In a moment of our time
My sorrows were gone.

Her Intangible Caress

She was with me, untouchable, intangible, and yet
she caressed me with her breath in an intimate way
on a balmy night in April, I shall never forget.
Patiently, I waited for shadowed clouds to fade away.
Then, I watched her gracefully moved among the stars, 
a flawless goddess in chiffon, her face alabaster pale.
In resplendent light she was

Midnight Delight

Grandma said nothing but legs
Open after a certain time of night
There’s no reason why young ladies should beg
To be a young man’s midnight delight

What of the chicks who want a kiss
In the middle of moonlight or caress
Can you be so sensual and admit
That you are passions purple blessed

My Electric Caress

I never trashed my convictions
She told me what I wanted to hear
To conceal and concede 
People say take 2nd place
I can't watch a player take my roll
Settle for atrophic friend
happy to be at the beginning of the book called  If I had a wish
Was I head over or over my head who knew
Did I

Caress divine sublime

As divine energy works upon us,
nodes within form spontaneously whir
and fear patterns of old cease to nonplus;
bliss magnetism within begins to spur.

Kundalini moves in us as She likes
and all that we do is receive God’s grace,
resisting not rapture that in us spikes,
holding us tenderly in warm embrace.

In timeless time our ego falls away,
having now outlived

CARESS

Gross reminders can't touch this, unpleasantness 
Bound to chosen can't touch this disbarredments
Rotten apples can't touch it decaying fossil peels
Undermining deposits won't touch disbarred reels

All those complicated speals
Transpress suspicions diluted religion
Additional information add up the cost division 
Deemed unrest, just relax caress
