When the seraphic spring departed it left for me
a posy of purple rose as dainty as the dew of dawn.
I placed it in the alluring vase of my entranced heart,
drenched it with love, it won’t wilt in the craving heat.
In midsummer amorous mystique night, I’d take you
through the moondust mist to the dulcet seashore.
Tuning my pulsating heart with its sapphire rhythm,
on your pearly arms I’d place the bouquet and me.
With the enticing melody of whistling zephyr’s flute,
and with the mesmeric music of the rolling waves,
I’d compose the lyric of my love to resonate for you
with my yearning glistening with dreams in your eyes.
As I’d reach the crescendo of my summer swan song,
nothing more I could ask from you, for you’d be mine.
Even when we reach the edge of dissolving twilight zone,
our paths won’t part, for I’d make love the way you like.
When we started to share a bed
(After our wedding, it should be said)
Although we knew what we had to do,
We were inexperienced, me and you.
There were books in the library we might try
But, in the end, we were far too shy.
So we ordered the Kama Sutra on line,
In a plain brown wrapper, so that was fine.
Now we’re working through it page by page
(Though the language comes from a bygone age)
It hasn’t been all plain-sailing for me.
I slipped a disc on page fifty-three!
But now we’re getting quite proficient
And what we’re doing must be sufficient.
For the doctor broke the news today
That we’ll need to buy a cot in May.
After making love -
I lay my head upon your chest
To hear your heartbeat;
You are delicately built
But wonderfully alive.
Your skin is like satin
Draping across my fingers
As a blanket would but better;
Let me lay in your warmth
'Til the evening's end.
Need to know
When never to show
True feelings found
Buried deep underground
Emotions to hide
Anger pretends to be satisfied
Admit defeat
The new heart beat
Misunderstood
To feel your Love show
To never let you go
Trying to understand
While holding your hand
Wanted to take it slow
Now we may never know
Our Love makes everything right
Making Love at Midnight
Always, Time withstood
Walked into a wall, a concrete wall
It shook me up good, I tried not to bawl
Was dreaming of us making love in the park
We should have waited at least until dark
A couple of people then a crowd did appear
Watching and giggling and giving a cheer
On the love making scale, we won top spot
We'd gone too far, we just couldn't stop
It's as if they were watching a sporting event
Till whammo, we lay panting and spent
They filed away as if after a game
Talking bout how we showed them no shame
Truth of the matter, we weren't aware
A crowd of onlookers had gathered and stared
Involved in an amazing moment of bliss
We carried on not a beat did we miss
A lesson we learned from that day in the park
Next time we'll surely wait until dark
I sense your breathing
Your movements match mine
You moan out your pleasure
We lose track of time
I thrust even deeper
You tighten your grip
Holding onto me so tightly
As I thrust against your hips
We feel the moments coming
As I gaze into your eyes
I can’t explain the passion
As we both explode in time
D.R.L.
The greatest show I’ll ever know
Is the one I see in your eyes
When we make love, I look at you
So full of passion, you can’t disguise
Your face turns flush with a gentle blush
The most wonderful shade of soft pink silk
Then our eyes meet as we both complete
It’s the purest passion we’ve ever felt
Each thrust
Each moan
Each and every time
Each kiss
Each touch
Each one by design
The greatest show I’ll ever know
Is the one I see in your eyes
Every moment with you is perfect and true
I finally found the love of my life
You’re perfect
D.R.L.
Sometimes I write as if I'm an expert
When it comes to the subject of love
On the contrary, no one is an expert on love
Every encounter is like our very first
We are so afraid to stumble that we do stumble
We stumble over our words
We stumble trying to do all those romantic things
That all our lives we're programmed to do
But somehow it never quite works out as planned
As to what we envision love to be
No, I'm certainly no expert but I'll keep trying
That being said, the joys of love
Whether simple or complex far outweigh
Any lack of finesse that we might have
So do your own thing, there's no failing grade
Be creative in the art of making love!
Have you seen, have you ever seen an apple;
Make sweet love to a honey bee;
Before you see;
It's beautiful ;
The insertion;
of it's proboscis,
In the Apple's mesocarp-endocarp heart;
Kissing it!
Absorbing it!
Ooh, ahh, yum!
Delicious juices;
Sap so precious;
Ooh, so delicious;
Vitamins B's high amount of C's blessed;
Sweet Anthophila
Kisses and loves Malus Domestica;
Ooh, yum my darling, (sweet)

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
When we make love
our souls unite
in your beautiful onyx
eyes eternities love shines
into our world
We give thanks to the Almighty
that we consciously call down
when we conceive, a gift and
act from God
I love you with
all of my being
everything
we are one
We know the purity
of the animal that
mates for life
When we make love
I give you my tongue
and the pleasure it has
for you
Your dark body
reads my lips
drawing my silence
into you
You guide me
artfully through
the landscape we
create in our stillness
We are sculptures
shimmering with love
in a nameless hallowed
place where no words
will do
The place between your
thighs kiss back tender leaves
and moist like matutinal dew
where I return often
Our bodies defy gravity
we go to a place beyond
all the other places
beyond the body itself
when we make love...
This picture reminds
Me of passion
Two people lock
Together as one
Their mind, body
And souls are
Intertwined together
Their passion
is so strong that
The orgaism they feel
Take their soul
Out into the universe

BRENDA CHIRI
We walked to the sand dunes
She whipped off her top
We made love in the sand
A co - worker and lover
Gone from the Earth now
She taught writing alongside me
at a community college
She came to my home and we
made love again
The years roll by
Lovers die
Friends, too
The things we take joy in
Will pass - never to come again
Will pass - never to come again
it's not that
i couldn't but
i wouldn't and
then i realize
actually i
can't
WHAT BETTER THAN THIS
STARTS FROM A SIMPLE
KISS
AND NOW YOU AND ARE
LOVERS
NO TIME TO REMINISCE
IT STARTS AND BEGINS WITH THIS
A SPECIAL TIME
FOR ONE ANOTHER
GUESS YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M SAYING
TELL THOSE GUYS TO
STOP PLAYING
I HAVE YOU
AND YOU ARE MINE
THOSE LADIES
WHO WERE USE TO CALLING
THEY HAVE TO STOP
NOW THAT
I'VE FALLEN
FOR THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS
SHE'S ALL MINE
Animals have no qualms about making love in public
Why do we have such a problem being naked on the sundeck
I'll be first to start the trend
Actually, I should advise my friends
Next time they're over, they'll know what to expect
