Short Tlr Poems

My lips
Taste the salt
Of passion’s heat
The nectar of our love
Fresh on my tongue
Our bodies yearning
Always yearning,
Never satisfied, 
We crave each other
As a deep addiction
Of two linked souls

Why chance
to open one’s heart
at the risk of loss
of invested feelings?

Guarded hearts 
do not get wounded
but neither do they soar
like eagles on the wind

To risk is to gain
or sometime lose
but less loss than 
never having wings

Pure joy,
Two generations down
Sweet child
Blessings abound

Innocent smile 
Laughs, giggles 
Abundant energy 
And many wiggles

Daughter of my daughter,
Same beautiful eyes.
Gift from heaven 
A wondrous prize

Every day a new wonder
Too fast do you grow
I dare not blink
grown before you know

Your love
Like a warm winter blanket
Envelopes me 
And takes all cares away

Your touch
Flows through my body
Like morphine
Easing my stress and pain

Your spirit 
Lifting me up and away
Reminding me
That worldly thing matter not

Your love
Source of my comfort
Heals me
And feeds my soul

Your radiant smile
Like the sun
Melts me
Into a puddle of desire

Heating my heart 
Making my blood 
Boil 
With passion

Two bodies together
Heat upon heat
Sweet sweat
Of lovers 

Unbridled sensations 
Mouths wet
Sweet honeypot
Wetter still

Time stops
Only the two
Exist for the passions
Until the morning sun

Azure skies
Alabaster sands
Emerald seas
Scent of comfort
From my earliest days

Surf sounds
To ease worldly pains
Ocean fragrance
Soothes and calms
Beach therapy for the soul

The sea
And my soul 
Intertwined from birth
Drawn to shores
Like moth to flame

Rhythmic waves
On sandy edge
Like the heartbeat 
Of a mother
Calms a child

I am
But a worm 
Crawling in the 
Damp dark earth

Or yet
A creepy bug
That can neither 
Fly nor walk

Have I 
Stumbled so far
To warrant 
This transformation?

How have
I so lost
My way
As to lack human form?

Insidious erosion 
Of things so fair 
And decent 
Day by day die

Discipline the heart
The mind
The soul
For survival of grace

Oh my heart
keep beating though
there is a hole 
in my chest so large 
it defies description 

To have passion
for such a beauty
with a compassionate 
heart and soul.
But yet I’m rejected 

The scent of spices 
brings me back 
to intimate embraces, 
private smiles and giggles,
sensual passion beyond compare

Anguish,
Yearning,
Pain,
Despair,
My heart aches but still beats

Mirror, mirror
You double edged sword
We use you
to straighten our look
before 
going into the world

But also
you show our flaws,
a wrinkle here,
a blemish there,
to say absolutely nothing 
About our hair! 

Events in life,
conflict and tragedy 
betrayals and strife
can act 
like that mirror
to reveal our flaws

Or our mistakes
if you please 
But they give you 
a chance 
to correct
your thoughts and actions

My Heart, My Soul

You rescued me 
Adrift with no center, 
No anchor for my heart
No shelter for my soul

You embrace me
Love’s warm blanket 
So caressing my heart 
So caressing my soul

You encourage me
As lover, partner, friend
So uplifting my heart 
So uplifting my soul

You love me
Like no other has
So much love in my heart 
So much love in my soul

You are truly My heart, My soul

On these days
With melancholy skies
I reflect on past things
That stir me to sighs

Of Lost opportunities 
Or those dear ones above
Mistakes on mistakes 
Against those I love

Gray day clouds
Like a mirror to reflect 
Those past errors
Or things of neglect 

Introspective views
Of things I’d rather forget
A vow not to repeat
To cause more regret

While painful to admit 
In a personal review 
Of how we travel this life
Give direction on how to renew
