As You Get Achingly Older
The Energy It Takes For
Tedium Hurts More Than
The Time It Wastes/Saves.

Premium Member Anchored Heart

My heart feels heavy tonight

Old photos and memories

A steadfast emotional anchor

Yearning bygone days

Achingly longing for the lost

My soul sorrowfully hankers

Premium Member A Magic Cat

A magic cat
  did stretch and yawn
on a velvet carpet green
  perfection's Springtime lawn

Sauntered achingly lazy
  to a peach blossom tree
rubbed up against some petals
  then winked at me

She

She is the Sun, I am the Moon, longing to touch, but never able to. She makes things warm and comfortable. I bring darkness and cold chills. She is what I so achingly desire, but to have her would be madness for all.

Departed

Friends have departed,
I could not go,
The ones left grieve,
In a sea of memories
It's all within oneself,
This I know
But the spoken word,
silenced for now,
Is achingly awaited,
When dear friends re-unite
For eternity.

Whisper

WHISPER

His kisses 
whisper love.

I listen
as
his bottled up
desires
flow out.

I trace
those words
slowly
achingly
dangerously
desperately steadfast.

Gasping

Still
he quiets me
hopelessly endearing
in hushed
whispers.

Visual Echo

The man I once was
is a visual echo
fading into naught.

There was a time
I felt achingly hollow
and pressingly weighed.
starved and stiffed by doubt,
gone far past the sunken place
to deeps starkly dark.

Eventually, 
time did thin the choking void, 
eventually.

Desert Storm

Violent thunder in a blood red sky
Tears of anguish in the family’s eye
Hearts held achingly in the grip of fear ~
Praying for those they hold most dear.

How long must the fighting last?
How long before the pain has past?
How long before our troops return,
And the hatred in our hearts cease to burn...

The Phone

deep masculine tones resonate tantalizingly, enticing peeks 
sending sizzling fire surging through my body achingly 
mounting needs have me writhing in search of sweet release 
as fingers dive deeply within my core, climbing, soaked in perspiration 
molten fluid laces fingers as screams of ecstasy ignite over the phone

Song Birds of Dream

The song birds
Of my dreams   
Sit on the sill
(Where I sleep )
And sing achingly
I get drifted 
In the world. 
I crave for it
When I am 
All awake.
Would that 
The songs take 
Over my life!
Just then …
My wife calls
Out to me 
For a walk 
Frightening 
The birds away 
I open my eyes 
To see the world
Filled with elegy

Premium Member Glass Bells

tentatively we touch
gentleness a brushed lingering
rising waves of repetition unfold
achingly intense
crisp as belled glass

full of heartache, plump with longing
life races toward … to ward …
in spiral tip toed pirouettes

trailing across the tympanic membranes
sliding up and down scales 
darkness sharp and ivory keys
sound reminds

Premium Member Destruction Temptation

Showing off all of my desire
that gaze will feel like a burn,
my stare will set you on fire;

A kiss between shoulder blades
might turn into shock therapy 
as my moan achingly cascades; 

From behind you cannot see me,
it’s left up to your imagination 
where that next touch will be;

Dopamine drizzled destruction,
mouth left wet with temptation.

Look To the Skies

Why do the skies of autumn appear so?
So bright?
So blue?
So true to God’s own plan?
Or so achingly exquisite,
A gift to mortal man.
My poor eyes cannot
Comprehend
The sheer beauty
He chooses to extend
On such a wondrous day
As this, when I can almost
Hear Him say
This is how I show
My love to you:
Through your hooded eyes 
As you look to the skies
Form: Rhyme

Sweet Music

I woke up to the sound,
Of sweet music filtering through my window.
It was achingly far,
And sweetly close.
Incredibly lovely.

I opened my eyes to look for signs of you,
But there were none.
It made me laugh,
It made me cry.
I closed my eyes.

What more can I do,
But move on from losing you?
What more is there to say,
When the sweet music you used to play,
Won't go away?

Interlude

This shade is damp with the net of sun
finely sliced with the paring knife of trees.

We softly move among old bones, places
where ancient lovers have lain, grinding
one another into thin blue dust, drinking
from a chalice of silvered hands held
one to the other safe in mid-afternoon light
among gnats and May apples arching achingly
toward the slow, soft, satin churnings of death.

Premium Member Petals And The Full Moon

Petals and the Full Moon,
peppered with flakes of stars;
Wishes become cobwebs,
children no longer hum;
Growing up? Belief ebbs.

Petals and the Full Moon;
After achingly long,
lovers find an embrace;
Swaying in reflection,
the sea gives in to chase.

Petals and the Full Moon,
lost in the ambience
romantic wheel in drive;
Restless fuse of rapture,
a perfect match will thrive.

Premium Member Flirtation

Achingly slow the way that we kissed,
enjoying the entrapment we laid in.
You commemorated this with cursive.

The soft swirl and soft hand of cursive
matched us as the paper was kissed.
Italics bold as your tongue trucked in.

It was comforting how you creeped in
with flirtation flowing in pristine cursive.
Immortality penned the way you kissed. 

A love letter french kissed in cursive.

Love Offering

Caught behind barbed wire
Tangled in a child's shame,
old regrets and fears
We sometimes pierce our souls
in the death grip of our love offerings
Delightful wild-flowers
clutched in hopeful fists
Thrust out from our shadowlands
to be caught by understanding hands
How achingly beautiful we are
in the presence of their tender
and fragrant significance

Premium Member Unabsolved Labyrinth

Just lead me through your gaze;
I feel achingly lost;
An unabsolved labyrinth 
will not have a champion;
Wordless we plead the fifth; 

Just lead me through your gaze,
explain the unspoken;
The bright Moon reflected
is full and without clouds;
It leaves me enchanted;

Just lead me through your gaze,
can I please be paroled? 
Keep you but lose the frame
that blacks out the answers;
Let us finish this game.

Nine Ways I Love You

Longingly, desire to see your face

Achingly, missing your company

Jealously, checking on your emails

Languishing, in your caressing arms

Surreptitiously, following you

Suspecting, your infidelity

Persuading you, to do what I want

Laughing, when you say unfunny jokes

Nine times out of ten, your forgiveness


(Common traits of people who say they are in love)

Dreams of Visions

"dreams of visions" once suns rose and moons beamed our names called to one another whispering desires and love suddenly when lights dimmed calling you to home of heaven my heart missed a beat now within dreams of visions with ears and eyes wide open such senses are achingly alive I see you I hear you I feel you separated by dimensions apart still whispers of our names call SkyWatcher 09-10-23

Moon Dims

Teardrop
From the sky
Rested achingly upon
The ample bosom
Of grief
Oh Divine, my beloved!
Kneel upon thy alters
Bow down, oh heart
On velvet cushion's grace.
Nigh is death
Lean on Thee
Erratic heart
Tumultuous sea
Calm! Hush now. Calm!
Thy belly crawls
 before thy feet's sorrow
Given paradise 
A tomorrow's dream
Thy brows sweat
And the moon dims
Take my soul
To eternal's promise
Bosom's tears 
water the heavens
Heart and the sea
Pleading for the nightmare's end.

Premium Member Come Flooding Back:

As dawn appears in golden rays, A hint of jasmine fills the air, This night has passed so achingly, Though my heart is still filled with care. I think back to all those moments, In time, the distant memories, Come flooding back in elegance, Like a warm breeze across the seas. These moments so rare and precious, Those memories you gave to me, More moving than the burning sun, So why can't I just let them be? (Eight syllables per line)

Harp and Flute

Harp and flute

Fingers bled of love by the strings of the harp,
Eyes filled with tears, mingled in the drops of blood,
As the flute elated sucked and kissed the slaughtered,
Love and hate, tears and blood, such are the broken hearts.

A song of love and sadness poignantly dejected,
The harp so majestically and queenly on it mimicked,
The flute so princely and so kingly on it emoted,
So eternally, beautifully and so perpetually, such achingly is how it hurts.
