Premium MemberMy Heart, My Soul

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

Premium MemberComfort

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

Premium MemberMelancholy Skies

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

Premium MemberYearning So

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

Premium MemberSweet Cinnamon

Sweet Cinnamon 

Sweet smiles 
Sweet whispers
Falling into each other’s arms
We enter our private world 
Far from pain and harm

Warm hearts
Warm touch
We tightly cling to each other
Our intimate embrace
Like armor does cover

Our love
Our passion
Unite us in ways we never imagined
Like lovers from another life
Reunited in this place and time 

Hearts yearn
Hearts ache
Every moment that we’re apart
Our connection so strong
We can’t deny its power 

Such comfort 
Such ease
It’s like we’ve known each other
For years and years
And look forward to many more

Premium MemberMy Missing Piece

Now that we have had the miracle 
Of finding each other on this incredible journey
Having seen how our embraces 
Flow and fit as if part of a master plan
We are one, complete and whole

To release our hold even for a moment 
To go out in the world alone
Contrasts with our intimate bond
Feeling as though a part of me is missing
A void that hungers to be filled only by you

We are far better together 
Greater than the sum of just two
Love’s overwhelming wonder and power 
Empower us to overcome worldly troubles
And find strength that neither of us had alone

You are my missing piece
The one that fills the emptiness in me, 
An emptiness so great of that I could not measure
Until it was filled by your grace and love
You and you alone make me whole

Premium MemberNight's Caresses

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

Premium MemberDaybreak

The threads of first light 
Open my eyes
And dance on your naked body
Part shadow
Part shape
I'm in awe of your beauty 

Enthralled 
I watch you sleep
The rise and fall of your breasts
Marking the time
In the quiet morning
And time of peace

Moving closer
Compelled to feel
Your soft sweet curves
And smell your scent 
Of island spices
Reminding me of our passion 

My soft touch 
Causes stir and purr
Two bodies melt into one
Limbs intertwined in sweet embrace 
Whispers of contentment 
And hopes for the new day

Premium MemberOcean Mystery

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

Premium MemberNana

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

Premium MemberLost Forgiveness

Smile like sunshine,
That warms me to the core.
Laugh that tickles,
And comforts me more.

Curves to caress,
Smooth to stroke and touch.
Eyes that know all,
And comfort much

A spirit so gentle,
So warm and kind.
A peaceful soul,
So rare to find.

I am not worthy,
How can I dare?
To ask for forgiveness 
From one so rare?

My past errors,
They haunt current days.
I so see the wrongness,
Of my past ways!

Please forgive me,
I ache with the pain.
That I have hurt you
And bear your distain.

Premium MemberMirror, Mirror

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

Premium MemberFall From Grace

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

Premium MemberYour Touch

Silky soft
Intimate moment 
Your tender touch
Moves me 
Beyond description 

Love flows
Through your fingertips 
And into my warm 
Sensitive skin
Straight to my heart

Gentle caresses 
Across my body
Reflect your heart
And your steadfast love
Calming my wounded spirit

Lips to lips
Breast to chest
I feel every point
Of your body’s touch
Fanning the flames of my love

When you
Are far away 
Taking your touch with you
I feel incomplete 
And crave for you to be near

My heart
Leaps at the instant 
That your hand touches
My humble self
And I rejoice anew

Premium MemberSoaring Heart

When you walk into the room
my heart takes off like an Eagle in the wind 
Soaring, with exhilaration and thrill

When I see your smile 
my heart melts with the love that abounds
from your caring, loving soul

When I feel your tender touch
I feel healed from every pain that this life has dealt
A soothing balm to my wounds

When I see your lovely body
glistening in the golden glow of candle light
I lose my breath at the sight of your beauty

When I think about hold lucky I am
to have fate put you in my path and my life
I am humbled that you choose to love me.

My heart soars for you and no other.
