Inside This Woman's Heart

Of all that, doe-like, yearnful
Curled up in sleep
One made to spring.
Of all that, wren-like, blissful
Up out its nest
To soar, to sing.

More susceptive to, as tis
The light step of
An approach, slow.
More impressed by, in words' rush
Nothing more rough
Rustlings, leaves show.

To the Moon Alice

Oh, the face of love be the moon ever lit so bright
With the pelvic pull of desire on this summer’s night
Thus we enchant & entwine before the mornings' dew
As the titanic tides of love bring my heart back to you

Upon a gentle bashful breeze to groom the amorous air
With emerald eyes eternal, glittering as I starry stare
Oh, magnetic moon of the specious seductive sphere
Bring your titillating twilight to last this yearnful year

Mysterious moon, you blanket well your libertine lovers
As they release your spell underneath captivating covers
And the poets forever write about your lasting gleams
For their words pour down through bewitching beams

Oh, mesmerizing moon you bring us decorous delight
A magical monolithic mistress, goddess of sensual sight.

Age In the Time of Youth

Simple numbers have never captured mine eyes, 
Useless variables mortals equate; 
And while her years boast broad scents, matured signs, 
She’s the richest wine of my taste. 
I could pluck our talks from these kept pages, 
Verse the intrigue of her mere presence, 
While causing this charm to voice for ages;
And as I laugh with company, heaven is sent. 
But in this calm joy, there are flaws she owns. 
These young eyes may be all the warmth she needs, 
I could be filed away, entitled alone. 
This chapter must pass, and our flirt must leave. 
        Although I’ll never catch her quantity, 
        The yearnful youth will always recall thee.


Marilyn -- a Love Song

Rhapsody playing its crescendo in love's...
Melodic opera's notes; as slowly she lowers
Her sundress, while shyly brushing aside silks
Golden hair gazing into paradise and she smiles
Enchanting her long dark lashes kissing gently my
Warm beating heart her mistress fingers dew within
Every gentle touch destined and nothing can compare
Oceanic fair fondly lying aside her beauty yearnful risen
Spirits to be quenched; thirsting a soothing as she my lips.

Shadows and Light, Night and Day

The skies the limit tis what some say; peering around the corner?!

Considering the shadows and how they flee from the light....

Seventy-five watts, sunrise, highnoon, throughout the day

Always trying to get away, amid this charcoal chase ~

Personify and I wonder, if they ever wish they were the light....

Playing house while as they await, for the moon to rise!?

Sisters and brethren, we are gathered here this eve ~

The sky is the limit tis what they say; peering around the corner

At seventy-five watts considering, the sunrise and highnoon

Yearnful for the moon, and still I wonder if wishes were dreams....

Would the shadows yet flee, should the light become their day?!

Bouquet's of Love

**************************************************************************

Unfolding gently these flowers amid the garden of her fragrance; perfumed petals

Velvet their touch to be tasted by soft lips; ever yearnful, for their perfect love...

Solitude

Can one be foolish for so long
To have let themselves honestly believe
This is satisfying solitude that
Keeps one blinded by hidden feelings.

The leap we take for chance of life
Fulfilling our private desired futures
Sometimes unexpected twists of faith  
Are clouding our most yearnful pleasures.

How does one know the difference?
If we do nothing then at least we know
Today consists of our memories of the past
Tomorrow are our dreams of unknowing hope.

Is it possible to be really content
Living in such silent days of carpe diem?
Do you wonder what am I supposed to feel?
Still time goes on...tick tock...tick tock.

Can the rambling words of one soul
Be so compelling to make that difference?
Does anyone understand or even care about
The struggles that exhausts your brain?

Your thoughts are a chance of a choice
That you can either hinder or snuff
No one can prowl their way in unless
Your mind allows the intrusion of invaders.

Now we ask ourselves if we are prepared
We ponder if all else complies dutifully 
Be ready to leap into the motions of life
Hesitant...my foolish future.
