Premium Member Sense My Love
See my love in the waves of the seas. Hear my love in rustling leaves in the breeze. Feel my love in my soft caressing touch. Share with me a gentle light kiss, not too much. Like the love shown by a cooing dove, Through these fleeting moments, sense my love. ...

Beyond Words
In the unspoken stanzas of glance, A language of love is skillfully enhanced. Flushed cheeks , shy eyes , Glimmering like starry night skies. The melody of footsteps, a syncronized pace, A duet of devotion in every gaze. Fingers touch, cheeks glow red, Whispered secrets in the heart's closest thread. The eyes deep dialect, a secret code, Conveys the heart's deepest abode. The soft curves...

A Map of Quiet Fires
Her skin drinks light like rivers take rain, each dappled edge and sun-struck curve, a landscape under my hands, soft yet severe, where desire meets the edge of breath. Fingers trace the small hollows of her hip, catching sunlight in each soft valley, dipping, trembling, as if they might slip into some dark, endless tenderness. She is a map of quiet fires, a fever...

Premium Member To Beth: Rochester Falls
You tried to lead me (surely) by the hand across the shallows but we were both too drunk and the stones too slick so we slid stumbling and laughing, falling toward each other all the way across and upriver (rocks bruising our feet) until we were concealed by the night. We held each other close in the dark noisy water that swirled lovingly over our skin like a mother’s...

Premium Member Theory of God
I. Of Circuits and Litanies Somewhere between the limbic lobe and the ache of late-night Eucharist, you touched me— not in flesh but in the soft mutiny of neurons. They do not teach us that synapses pray in the tongue of longing, that oxytocin sings psalms in dim-lit corridors of the amygdala. Love is not a metaphor. It is a switch, a slow-burning heresy of selfhood dissolved in the damp...

Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea
“Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea” I walked again where I began, past fences worn, where gum trees ran— but now the tide had kissed the land, and waves rolled in like time unplanned. The house was there, but changed in tone, a quiet shell, yet not alone. The breeze...

Even When You're Near
"Even When You're Near" I saw you yesterday. You’re not far. Maybe five minutes, a handful of quiet streets. But I miss you. Not because you’re gone, you’re not. It’s just that the world feels softer when you’re in it, next to me, not just in thought. The couch feels bigger....

Love Without Measure
I love you beyond the borders of language, where words stumble, faltering in the shadow of feeling. No map charts the expanse of this tenderness, no compass finds its edge. I love you as the ocean loves the shore, returning endlessly, even when it is sent away. I love you as the sky holds the stars, cradling light in an infinite embrace, never asking why...
