The nearness of you
Will reconcile completely
The weight of my heart...

Shower steam clearing
Your exquisite body forms
Craving your nearness...

Nearness grows with every touch
With each sighted dream
As one thought fades
More invade 'till ......

It's your kiss that thrills
Your nearness my Achilles heel
Your arms disarm my sanity

Your smile now leaves me immune
to your nearness
as she spits her spit
to stories of drought
amongst the crowded camp fire
where her salt tears are recoiled

Friendship
Heartfelt nearness
Long-suffering acceptance.
Life enriching, reassuring, caring
Alliance.

DISAPPEARED 

Wrenched 
Disappeared
Gone
 
A heart left behind 
Forever bleeds 
 
No comforting words
No nearness 
Assuages
The horror 
The loneliness 
The despair...

I wish to sheer afar from people
who deem me as a broken reed
I dearly hate their nearness
I dearly dread of their
vicious words and deeds
cause  they will give 
me only
anguish
hate...

the cold empty hands
the damn speak
unintelligble
the cold empty hands
the damn speak
the crazed bat eyes and expect understanding
the damned speak
and nearness happened
just about out of time...

Time to rest
the race is run
silver sandals you flew
you were young
we graced the sincere
neck tie you glanced the day
you shut the breeze
your sweat left you immune
to the knock down nearness...

D'ya know what burns my ass, friends of mine
When a flame and my ass are so perfectly aligned
The nearness of my ass
And my emitting gas
Causes an explosion, quite uncomfortable I find...

Sinuous arms reach West and East
And curved with a gentle bend
Told me the nearness of a dear
                eternal friend,
More strand sprouters
   came to join
Whatever fun could be devised by merging
     thoughts....

autumn’s most clever harvest moon
parades above scratchy hay bales
September shows us October’s nearness
Kansas and Nebraska cool off wonderfully
harvest moon love of September formulates plan
hear a knock on meadow’s door?...

Hemmed in by the Nearness
Held back by the Now
The wishful striver, always, who
O'ercome both somehow.

Lost in an isle's sailed thrill
Sea-hazed, whilst safe moored!
As far unfound, delirious
Whilst by Time's Sea shored!...

The nearness I miss
Nor the farness I hate
The pure love I love
The memories we owned
The feelings we shared
Will all twinkle 
All our darkness will be in vain
Will make me as a star beholder
You, who twinkle in the starry sphere...

such 
is
the warmth
of your breath,
thawing winter's chill...
what an intimate tete-a-tete;
'tis a celestial feeling! is this when our lips touch?
the nearness of you at the close of day, within kissing distance; all I could ask for!...

Even sleeping 
an aura
burns in rest
slow inhalations
felt warming blood
nearness overwhelms
wicked sensed eyes open
universes traveling
discovered secrets
lay bare
wonderment known
blazed awareness
preceding sleep 
stealing my heart away 
to dream...

              His nearness, I, seek.
              Eyelids brush against my cheek.
              Sounds of a Spring Creek.

Opaque figure in mist
Observed as cryptic form
Overtly shrouded vague 
Owned nearness lost, wanders
Onward to enigma
Obscurity fogs mind
Obsessed yearning fades out.

Wondering where you are tonight?
Can't feel the warmth of your sight
Your wings that cuddle me under the moonlight
Your heat that incubates me in spotlight.
I'm a shelled-duckling not so pretty
My little heart beats so fast and plenty
Nearness of you I pray for each day
Your body to stay beside me all day!...

PORTRAITURE
an inviting
presence
hovering
  mysterious
freed
from
the past
peculiarly
alive
with
a nearness
beginning
gently
to emerge

the
unfamiliar
at a crossroads
  on the outskirts
arriving
this counterpart
ever changing
without
    knowing

evidently
 recognisable
sonorous
&relaxed...

I Awaken a child
to the nearness of my mother;
Feeling her breath of warmth--

(apparent is the joy
on her face
a labor well done);

my eyes maturing 
not quite focus
I trustingly reach 
for her special day
and mine
our discovery;

it is the grasp
of a newborn,

and the surrendering
of an 
infinite universe
to love.......

I saw you
Smoother than smooth 
Exotic
Kissed by strokes of earth tones; and
I can only imagine,
Traversing manhood of mounds
Toned, buffed, offering much joy delight
Noon or night.

So, I asked myself:
Is it the curve of your lips?
The pull of your smile?
The look in your eyes?
Undisguised, as the warmth I feel
Because of you?

Sweet words of love surround me
and echo through this room,
Though distance can't erase them
it ended all to soon.
As my fingers trace your nearness
caress the blue penned lines,
Someday we'll be together
for in my heart your mine.
But time shifts oh so slowly
like tiny grains of sand,
Through the hourglass of memory
i hold here in my hand....

Your lovely eyes light
my heaven at twilight eve.
I close my eyes and see stars.
Your nearness warms me;
why do I feel goose bumps rise
as I reach to touch your arm.

You look with love’s eye
beyond  the shroud of nightfall.
My words seem without merit
they fumble and grope,
yet find lips warm and willing.
How little I know woman!
