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

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

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

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

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
To my Cinnamon Girl

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
