Guinevere To Arthur Being Coy

Oh, my darling Arthur, this euphoric feeling what is it? 
Is it something from sensual pleasure? 
Or something in my dreams? 
Is it perspiration glistening on a manly chest? 
Or when I have rivulets of perspiration running between my breasts? 
Is it lying on a beach somewhere when bodies meet as one? 
With waves crashing rhythmically a thrust with every one? 
Is it when one runs a hand up and down my body with such a careful touch? 
Hardly touching my skin at all, but it still seems to burn so much. 
The glistening of thigh beneath a gown, that catches my dream just briefly. 
Or the décolleté so smooth and soft when lips caress so sweetly?
 
Oh, my darling Arthur, this euphoric feeling what is it? 
Is it something from sensual pleasure? 
Or something in my dreams? 
Lying with you on the riverside regaining control of gasping breath, 
the ripples down the spine, the dampness I feel on your back. 
The tenderness and trembling, as I can feel the weight of you,
but you’re not heavy you are my lover so true. 
I welcome the feel of skin, the muscular stomach so smooth and tanned 
the cupping of my breast in your large hands. The sweet caress
that sets me on fire the look in your eyes strong with desire. The waking,
but I want to feel more, when will it be my turn? You are the man i adore.

Just as his marbles ran beneath bed, he lost track of time, when he
Advanced to find them; but spied shoe box with Grandma's grands
Her hands had labelled names to each stash; he claimed his stock and went to shop
Money was plentiful; grams good business sense in Harlem procured pure wealth
And Jahmal soon had friends galore; he would pay for early withdrawal of inheritance
Love was not around when uncle was summoned, he drove the boy to remote spot.

Black was not beautiful that day. Uncle and his friend were brutal boxers, then
Right amidst summer crowd, he was let out to run home cupping nakedness in shame
If welts and bruised psyche gave remorse to Grandma, boarding school was gift
Gone was innocence touched by pain as he flexed, stood to blame and shame
Hung his head in humility, then hang on to life and what was left of scarred self
To know him is to love him... now he's sensitive Social Worker.

Dusty Rain


Puffs of random promise coldly awaken the hope of droughts thirsty ticket holders.
Parched dust joins in pig-like, snout in the trough, dry tongued greeting.

Satiations mud bath ensues
leaves rub their hands together
cupping cool water
soothing the screaming roots.

Flowers lean back
rinse their colored tresses
rejoice in the trickle
of renewal.

Worms lay – Cleopatra-like -
self seeking mud worshippers
freed from their dungeons.

Puddled streets shiny rainbow hues
search for the pot-o-gold
of street signs end.

Dandelions shake golden crowns
mimic the sun,
smile on the dream
of future days.

Garden Buddha,
licks stoic lips, smiles
cool trickles tickle his girth.

Thin groundhog sleeps
knowing his prized shoots
will soon be plenty.

Birds succumb
to the perfume of petrichor,
dance in fence top chorus line
to the dusty drum beat of
Spring rain.

Circle of a world 
you warmly surround me 
Holding visions of a dream
Melting chocolate to the soul 

Cupping hands together
captures pulse beats awakening 
sunshine through misted bridge promise 
dewdrops each morning 

The eyes opening crystals 
those of a deep ocean wave takes hold 
Satin touching softly velvet silk 
pearls washed pure fragrance 

Within a starlight kisses cheeks 
singing rivers in  delight 
Beholding you beautiful 
Arrowhead of Cupid Striking 

Surf falling down deeply 
sweeping winds rising 
an angel the heart's wings 
flying with grace sparkling back

Premium Member Destiny Railroaded

passengers gather while their turn awaits
  very few standing out
  except for one, sprawling along my seat
  room for me, just about
  awkward two-handed pillow cupping head
  beyond waking, no doubt

  long brown trench-coat, boot soles with rugged tread
  next train ! should I nudge him ?
  needful resting or chemical stupor
  not for me to judge him
  why interfere ? his world, his well-earned dreams
  very hard to budge him

  startled, distracted, nearly miss my call!
  still he is not shifting
  urgent rush on-board, his image fading
  sit back, eyes uplifting
  spy those familiar curls, grey wooly hat
  conversation drifting

  earwigging, eavesdropping across the aisle
  their words come and go
  tune-in and filter out the ambient
  expose their to-and-fro
  they are other people, not my business
  but still I want to know!

  his mature companion, black-haired beauty
  she smiles, ten years older
  for them, no others on their train of thought
  like coinciding spheres
  bodies tilt towards overlapping touch
  as space between them clears

  carriage swaying to their sound, back and forth
  they listen intently
  animated, probing his next response
  she lectures him gently
  university trends, what does he seek?
  he replies attently

  predator woman and willing victim
  marooned oblivious
  to those furtive glances, the flapping ears
  attuned assiduous
  audience pleasured, unfolding theatre
  cocooned delirious

  rails switch, clickety-click, clickety-clack
  asks his destination
  the one just coming but then no surprise
  no procrastination
  they stay together with no track of time
  end-of-the-line station

  reality tears, they remain enthralled
  their mobiles uploaded
  walk on by, lowered voices on the cusp
  demeanour encoded
  then lost in the crowd, I wish them both well

Premium Member A Cup of Words

From mouth to ear across a lifetime lived,
traveling strings tying lives together thread on thread. 
Every one word building lifetimes; 
bonded mud of bricks to house 
our broken bags of trailing flesh.
We will hold each others heart, 
we will hold each others head up high.
Better or worse for the word or two that has made, 
will forever make, and always is, 
the difference.
Speak this word or that, watch the matter of it all unfold,
past lives shaped and shaping now 
in crucibles of all our conversations.
Words to bridge and touch this world, 
like knives or axes falling,
slicing moments each peeled back,
revealing bullets spent and sailing 
on to wounded tearful souls.
Comfort words, 
words of love,
different shapes and sizes wrapped 
in different voices heard.
Inflections, accents, whispered, 
loudly shaped intense of spirit, 
colored by emotion to enforce. 
Chosen words of purpose: 
dispatched, planned,
let fly in haste, 
erecting endless layers to our waste.
Tools of our intention common to our time,
reserved and planned, chosen with meticulous care,
whose definitions matter more than when or where.
Piercing silent dreams, 
floating on the breath of every God,
making mysteries of all we seem to be.
Mirrors made of silence once, 
we soon are made of words that move us 
through a doorway, joining into life.
Today, a workshop for the poet.  Write about a cup.
Standing empty, purpose unfulfilled.
Imagination startled as I smash the cup inside my head.
A million shards of broken pottery lying on the floor.
Broken poems and promises lying on the floor.
Shards thrown out of context as are we.
Broken souls from out a shattered God.
Each shard, a refugee.  You and me. 
Metaphors attached to all the brokenness we own.
Cups of purpose seeking our fulfillment.
Joined to make a whole of all we hold;
become a cup our truth will then unfold.
What began as empty, filled with our life’s portion,
sharing, sipping, spilling all along the way.
Losing contents we may label dear
until the final tipping of a cup left upside down.
What words escape our pens that are not truth.
Whose content change the soul from which we bleed 
Whether subject cup or love, or other siphoned dalliance,
at our finish will complete a lifetime’s cupping need.

Premium Member Quiet Drift

the maple  
   l o o s e n s its amber hush,  
leaves drifting  
   in slow, deliberate strokes  
      around the bench  

she sits  
   in her denim skirt  
      and beige sweater,  
mittens cupping  
   the briskness  
      of the watercolor air  

a small stack  
   of pale pumpkins  
rests beside her~  
soft autumn accents  
   in the muted scene  

before her,  
   a watering can waits,  
and from its spout  
   a rabble of butterflies  
      rises,  
tiny brush marks  
   of wandering color  

she gazes  
   to her left,  
comfortable  
   in the silent drift  
      of leaves and wings~  
perhaps letting her thoughts  
   l o o s e n  
      the way the season  
         does

The Animals They Talk

Venus
Casts a tiny shadow
Upon the ghostly snow
From its candle held by an extended hand
Of a cloaked man
Who trips through the stripped trees

Follows the fresh trail of reindeer
To our second-floor windowsills
Then on to rooftops lined with owls
Comet tails thrashing through the oval

Stars

The kids pretend to sleep
To the faint smell of hay
Their red stockings overflow with candy canes

Earlier in the gray day
As I walked my dog alone in the park

A herd of deer
Found a barren patch of grass
In the backyard of a farmhouse

Laid themselves out
Like real life figurines to a nativity scene

Four does curled up on all fours
Three bucks standing over them
Antlers like crowns

Two more does
Heads bowed
Grazing

Kitchen light
On
In the window

Next to a frozen pond
A swan curtsies and a sandhill crane bows
They nearly kiss
Looking on

In our bed
Between my wife and I
With his furry head laid on our pillow
Our golden retriever jerks from a dream

Whimpers perhaps
For my hand cupping his treat

Both cats stretch
Between our legs
Ears twitching to moles jingling
To the faint guiding light
Outside

It’s five before midnight

The animals will soon begin to talk
Though I’ve heard them
All my life

Hallelujah!

Premium Member Susan Lawrence

‘Sweat of life’; opening words of candour
Ushering a magic show to follow
She burst forth in delight, of love fervour
Adoring oneness, within heart mellow
Name of the poem, ‘elevating heart’
Laying low, she has posted six so far
‘And cupping my heart gently’ Gods love starts
We behold her divine play from afar
Resonation with euphoria clear
Enlivened by the throb of bliss within
Nectar elixirous open hearts spears
Canvas then coloured by love rendition
Entrée of poet, bright with elation
