"impassioned colors"
from the moment we held each other's hand
known is the meaning of impassioned colors
soar do we with emotion taking us far away
each touch leads to our private chamber
exclusive whispers play over and over
unveilings draw us dangerously near
under the guide and warmth of sun and moon
unbroken are our held hands that caress
each trust is heard seen and felt
making love's journey worth unfolding
through all expressions of love
we carry the scent of us in celebration
together bewitched and hypnotized are we
impassioned colors will light forevermore

More interesting the way you wrestle
never meaning hurt..
flirting.., with a skillfull mind
and matching tongue.
Twice as agile your swift feet, gleeful toes,
play like little lady fingers, jabbing,
bobbing and weaving in the morning sun.
What a change I witness when the gloves come off..
colors raised in stormy impassioned eyes.
So many dimensions,
when you go hard..
even more uncovered..
when you go soft.
Light coral shaded lips,
paler still long neck, brimming in fire.
Oh, how the veins sing to me..
though quietly now,
grow insistent.
Getting close, like a creature
not used to light.
A waterfall effect lost
in finest peach hair fields, many
curves and valleys explored
in mosquito nets of night.
Endlessly curious to know,
what a fighter wants..
what a fighter needs,
in love.
Return now from the ropes-
to knock me off.
My eyes anxiously await a detente
when yours turn soft.
At the shrinkage of the page
Expressions plead for length
Inhibition imposed on lines by columns
Words already accustom to scarcity
Pieces find focus in incompletion.
Thoughts flutter toward temples
Ready to leave prints on a canvass
Diving into ink, drying before depart
Leaving smudges with hints of beauty
Never a portrait to hold high.
Love found constancy through infatuation
Appearing in every attempt at honing
Shadowed by past excellence's remembrance
Exposing an unguarded diminishment
Appeased by external validation.
Truth distilled through repetitition
Emotional trials shared in nude
No longer enigmatic, too foreign to own
Complacent with the ease of flow
Mentally stalled by comfort's opposition to growth.
Time contriving towards finality
Longevity could not be imagined
A burnout, seen as a destination
Pieces threaded, undoing progress
Passion puckered away by a task, too daunting.
With utmost impassioned heartfelt clasp
He drew her to him with hot grasp
Dipped and consumed yet cheeks aflame
Rapid streamlet of fire found way
Blazed hearts knew not night or day
A flush with feelings she couldn’t name
It was pain, pleasure, joy intense
Neither life nor death, men can sense
Love is not love till it's proclaimed.

Contest: Light A Flame by nette onclaud
Problems insurmountable
Walls of sand unclimable
Sinking deeper
Just let me breathe
Where is the rock I stand on
From where is my peace drawn
Come Father I need to believe
Wrongs be made right
Give me the will to fight
Your strength Lord is all that I need
I know what my faith is made of
I know of your undying love
Give me something my pain to relieve
My cries to you unending
So much time I’m spending
And still now my spirit grieves
Send your tender mercies
Don’t let evil hurt me
Great Jehovah please intercede

Cunning seducer
Your presence beguiles
I taste your fever
My body complies
Good intentions die
Dare not touch me
For I shall fall
Where angels fly
And hell is nigh
Oh to taste
Faulted grace
Tempt me not
Too late
My fate
Flawed
