Featherlight touches
Fluttering kisses
Thudding heartbeats
One look
One gasp
A million desires erupt.

Be thou wet and seasoned,
for we are richly mulled
int the wine of quiet passions.
Catch my breath
in your hungry mouth,
bleed into my veins
as purple as wine.
I want you under and over
my wanting hand,
like a white dove
fluttering
with featherlight desires,
those needs
of the eternal flame
that will not
depart
my beating,
or un-beating heart,
nor ever wither.

The apartment leaks footsteps.
Ghosts avoid their featherlight padding.
They dwell in the fabric and pith,
teaching the walls to speak;
fragmented recordings
always threatening to utter
something intelligible.
Who are they, what are they?
Such questions
only arise under closed eyes.
They abide
they arrange and restore
whatever you thought was yours
as you dream of being real.

To walk with butterflies which seem to dance
greet a hummingbird as it slows the flight
I hold gardens in a tender romance
and feel my skin kissed by wind featherlight
in the midst of it, all beauty is found
as a flower's scent brings the honeybee
while birds glide high above me all around
my eyes relish the bright colors I see
whether day or night gardens are timeless
as waterfalls, as clouds cry Nature turns
her light to dark transition is seamless
as my soul finds the peace for which it yearns
I bond with beauty in gardens I adore
a wondrous wandering welcomed captor

On a breathtaking midsummer day
Catching a ride upon a sunray
Serenely fluttering hovering
Teasingly skipping gliding soaring
As sweet as a baby's lullaby
A featherlight azure butterfly
Playful flirtatious hits and misses
Purple violets purple kisses

damsel dragonfly
how I envy your freedom
featherlight
fragile and delicate
effortlessly
you glide
ever so graceful
with your whispery wings
translucent in the sunlight
in a carefree dance
atop a sunray
onto the next
hovering
nonchalant

Whispered, sweet nothings,
Skin caressed,
Sheen of sweat,
Barely dressed.
Laboured breaths,
Closed eyes,
Featherlight touches,
Quiet sighs.
Guttural groans,
A devilish tease,
Animalistic passion,
Begging pleas.
Strong arms,
Heated kiss,
Pure lust,
Discovered bliss.

That night, as so many, I woke
and stepped, half asleep, featherlight
out of bed, so steep, or did I forget
As usual I fall, could not make legs
stand at all.
Lying on the ground, hurt and
confused but sound, waiting for dawn...
stifling a yawn, I opened my tablet
and let my fantasy set the tone
And with eyes closed, hands working,
duvet warming me, I wrote, seeing me dance
in trance, (euphoric on a cold floor),
As I did in reality, so many years before

FOR YOU
This is for you, because I cannot reach you
For you because my heart is filled with you
You overflow me, every corner
Of me, every fragile bone
every elastic ligament
All of me is you
I write for you because you are so far away
That I can only talk to you in words
My hands can never touch your skin
My lips would like to kiss yours
I want your hands to push my chair
To touch my every longing
My brittle bones
This is for you, because with eyes closed
I hear your voice dancing around
I see your eyes smiling with mischief
I feel your kisses featherlight
And I cry, in painful knowledge
That this perhaps will never be
That you'll only be a memory

Through the fluttering buds, pregnant with
Colourful blossoms in their child green
Cuccoons. Sunlight filters, flittering in a
Mid-afternoon breeze. It carries the scent of
Ocean tides on featherlight wings.
A spiders web, moist with dew, draws the light between
It's gossamer thighs to refract translucent
Rainbows across quartz crystal strands
To make Love to the rising sun in sweeping
Unison as La Luna; billowing in her silver gown
Shall be the equinox's first and most beautiful
Rite of passage through the seasons.
"On Spring"

music blares, drowning my senses
i see you; the light shines in your eyes
and glisten like the stars themselves
as if the fairy queen herself has enchanted
you her radiant light.
you take your steps toward me
a smile broadens across your lips
revealing a glistening smile,
your like a dream the way you appear,
you take my hand.
as if floating; featherlight.
you whisper in my ear, a smile
plays at my mouth. your skin is like velvet
under my palm. you aura is incredible in this light.
a truly handsome sight
"i love thee, as thou loveth me"
i whisper back to you.
i close my eyes to hold the picture
more clearly in my mind,
i feel your breath on my neck from behind.
my eyes open. you vanish.
i stare plainly in to the darkness of my room.
with only the light of luna to bring
in the light that lights
the distant corners of the walls.
my lips curve to a full pout.
trembling. i feel discouraged,
but i know you'll return to me soon.
next time i sleep, i will see you.
we will dance, you'll whisper in my ear.
"sweet one; don't tremble once i leave, i'll return,
just await me and i'll come."
sweet laughter.
