like to do it with you
Sleeping with you
Is like honey that melts in the mouth.
Suddenly all my desire for sex returns.

It rained last night—
after years of dry breeze swaying,
finally, the fresh air returns—
what’s been missing for so long.

When Muse Returns

Upon your return
we will write, we will then share.
allowing new thoughts

Perhaps of our fantasies
or of our realities.

Lamp

Your shadow returns
In pearled tinges to calm wound’s ache---
Still, I grieve for death
 When final lamp of midnight fades

Many Unhappy Returns

It’s a work day
And it’s my Birthday
All the fours

A Grade - A
Gray Day
Life’s not designed
To be kind
Never mind – eh!

Your name rests upon my lips
Soft as falling light.

Clouds betimes block out the sun
  The sun returns not the favor

Perhaps it knows a thing or two
  Familiarity's not what man savors

Life is just like a boomerang
Give it a whirl and mind the whang
Velocity gain
Quadruple the pain
When it returns from whence it sprang

Into the innocent fertile Soil
Then returns home waiting
Patiently for its germination
He will harvest in joy.

An  August month again returns
To briskly Summer by,
With days of sun
Wind fully blown
As fleeting clouds
     dance their feathery display.

Premium Member Winter's Return

I hear the gale.
Rain on its tail.
Stock up. Put 'taters in the bin.

A raucous wail.
Tree branches fail.
Winter's fury returns again.

Unfair

May I humbly say a word
Why you make my life so hard
Though I pray for your mercy
Never you send returns I see
Is it not quite unfair my Lord

along the strand
a pale mist
     a thinning haze..

Burn Burn Burn

Burn
Burn
Burn

Until the winds turn

Or the rains come

And hope returns

And rising out of the ashes

Ravens morph into Pheonix

Urit Memoriae

Caught inside a memory,
with flashbacks of desire

Your scent returns as lightning
—my heart a copper wire

Once it is gone
What can I save
Nothing returns
Life in a grave
Trying to hold on
Death cannot take
Forever will live
Love that we make

Mysteries of Time

Time always tells the same story:
That time flies, and love is fickle
And life is time, light, passing.
 time comes, but it never returns..

Premium Member Body and Soul

     At the end how we cling
     to bodies wracked with pain

       ~ though the soul is the thing 
          that returns to the King
