Melt into me, my muse--- mold melodiously, clasping me madly.

Clasping
the hasp,
key enters lock;
inhibitions tumble; deepest desires
released...

Upon
vanity
of vanities-
fragile egos will ride
the wind
clasping
brief moments
ephemeral-
that die in tomorrow's
ashes...

HANDS

ambidexterous, mine and yours, yet clasping each other
in prayer for poets - and Elizabeth or Lisa - best for sister, mother...

Leaning on the rail,
Clasping a clutch bag of dreams.
Sea spray blends with tears.
Propellers churn memories,
Of Love betrayed and submerged....

orange deepens 
twilight,
clasping
praying fingers…

towel-dry night
sketches,
drapes of wishes
held in secret

Necklace
Emerald, stringed
Clasping, Collaring, existing
Ever so emerald

Reginald laughed,
Entering the bar boldly.
"Just another day in paradise"…
Escaping the cold,
Clasping the big envelope
To his chest, not letting go.
"each to their own", he said,
Dejectedly....

The soul, my notebooks and I

The ant lies dead in her coffin
With no one at her funeral
But I and my notebooks 
And her own soul
I sat clasping
My mountains of notebooks
Firmly to my chest crying
The size of goodbye....

Rest your lips upon mine
Let me taste of your sweet wine
Holding these arms and clasping them
Dreaming of this love so divine
Tickling my thought’s of you
Caressing each moment of time
Would you be

My Valentine...

Fingers touching
Eyes closing
Pulse racing
Heart pounding

Hands clasping 
Back arching
Eyes locking
Hips thrusting

Breath quickening
Passion exploding
Bodies shaken
Spirits unite

His name spoken
Love is made...

Clasping thought’s
Memories hidden
All have them
Good or Evil ones
Without one
You cannot 
Have the other
If all were evil
We would not
Know the good
If all were good
We would not
Know the evil
By blending
These two together
They are called

Clasping harder I pulled, 
though her hand slipped away,
And when I looked down,
In my palm,  it did lay...

Left only with blood,
Thickened with grief.
The dream stole my heart,
Nightmare was the thief...

Desperately clasping your hand

               I tremble

at the thought

               of letting go;

watching, as the life drains,

               from your eyes.

Clasping onto the wildest dreams,
grasping for those lost strings;
Crashing on air that doesn’t come, 
wrapping me in excruciating longing;
    
Prisoner of this world you created,
conspirator as I breathe your energy;  
Provocateur dancing bathed in stardust,
closer ever closer, to synergy....

They sit in the waiting room in silence
Tightly clasping hands
Together both fearful
To hear words from just one man

Most crucial words they will ever hear
In moments their life’s may change
Intently watching the door open
Eyes lock when they hear their name

They leave the waiting room in silence…....

Embracing eyes upon sight

Swirling as a whirlwind

Clasping lips together as one

Hearts in sync as a double bass

A Symphony of Violins

Quivering tones of Love

As Bass Woodwinds

With Sounds of Angels harps

Reaching deep into the soul

Beethoven whispering tunes

In this Theater

of Love...

Windy wild wind whipping flailing and cutting through
You bring us together like invisible glue

Holding hats and huddling hands clasping crunched capes 
Jealous soul you bold barometric beast

Hairdos, skirts, scarves, hats and pails blown away in envious fury
If we could capture you you’d be in front of a jury!...

In the drizzling rain

Lemon afternoon it was
On fire was the forest
Vertigo-molecules in the breeze
Electricity in clasping clouds

Yellow roses holding fingers
Opened the lips
Unanchored our birds

Tantalizingly teasing taunting,
Radiating rapacious rapture,
Slowly seductively seducing,
Passion pulsing pleading,
Searching seeking suddenly,
Finding fulfilling feverishly,
Greedily grabbing grasping,
Clutching clasping close,
Amorously adventuring afar,
Becoming bewitched beguiled,
Drawn dazzled dazed, 
Hurriedly headed home....

I gasp, for cluttered words dissolve,

clasping at fear for an unknown resolve.

The heartbeat's drummer is out of sync,

reduced to what emotions think. 


Yet in the mighty realm of hope, 

there lies an outstretched cord of rope,

in which to save from tears' great flood,

and flourish a garden with fertile mud.

Blistering and scorching sands
  Land of the hushed and crushed hands
Up the creepy furs clasping 'round
  Ebbing scraped sand of ants' mound

Mortars of the deep and steamy skies
  O'er peals and dreamy flies
Off the reef passerine of stormy glides entreat
  New leaf flit, strength above my feet...

Sunsets tweak, marvels at its peak...

Yonder weeping tears
Wondering and weak
Undefiled and tender
Straightway comforting
Clasping her gingerly

Strengthening the soul
Replenishing privily love
Nourish might of mind
Disintegrating past
Renewing the future

Grasping new adventures
One connection of two
Traveling new roads
Never restrained
Tumbling down blocks
Always as one...

We waltz among moonlit clouds,
chiffon robes, a dreamy shroud.

Clasping hands we spin and twirl,
this sleepers haven, a perfect world.

Darkness lends to a soul's relief,
sparing hearts from the grief.

Trending fears of dawns new light,
shining pain upon the plight.

An evenings gift, at days long end,
a return to sleep, when we'll dance again!...

blue
beauty
befriends beast,
belies belief!
but better be beware brave butterfly
cruel chameleon can change colour 
clasping cat claws
could cause crude
chainsaw
cuts
