Aheri Rose Poem
I ask this of you
Never to trifle with my affections
My precious little heart can't hold it
For a caprice it's not built
It's banks are full to the brim
and the walls are but weak
Please do not break my little heart
There's not even one unscrupulous bone in me
If you do not fancy me, let me be gone

Aheri Rose Poem
I set out to create a rhyme
but the sounds won't come together
A haiku it was now going to be
but the words became too many
I decided a sonnet will do fine
just then the words disappeared
only ten lines shy of four
I couldn't gather enough Ps
to make a tautogram
and the alteration was already lost
An elegy would have been too sad
This was going to be epic!
In the end I created a beautiful mess with words
Perfectly imperfect

Aheri Rose Poem
Left to their own improvisation
They swirl around each other
In search of the perfect melody
One they'll be in sync with every sway
A rhythm so smooth and soothing
Love the main instrument of their music
A finely tuned sax creating luscious sensations
echoing in every fiber of their musical being
Occasionally trade-off to listen to each other's beats
quietly going on wild adventures of call and response
albeit, they always find their way back to the melody
Affectionately falling into a silent contrapuntal rhythm
the jazzy hearts dance to the music of souls

Aheri Rose Poem
Please tell me once again
With your breath caressing my ear
Whisper all these sweet nothings to me
For I'll never tire of your voice
I'll never find you insufferable
Start all over again and tell me for eternity
Come here, closer, feel the warmth of my breath
It's me softly telling you, 'You Are My Heart'
With each inhalation your aroma captives me
Listen closely to my words, 'You Are Mine'
Flows so gently off my tongue
My warm breath tickling your ear
I'm all yours love, my existence you've invaded
Pick me up like a delicate rose into your arms
And tell me of all the ways you'd ravish me
With your divinely skilled hands tell me
Tell me the ancient tales of a love so impure
I surrender to you, set me a blaze and consume me
I will hold my delicate rose closely, tenderly
My heated fingers following forbidden curves
Giving loving attention to each pedal
Removing your thorns with heated adoration
To be planted within your gardens soil
And spin you tales of my ancient love
Tell me how you love to play your way around
Pulling on my every string softly and tenderly
Relieve me of this tension creeping up on me
Play me like a fine tuned guitar lulling me to ecstasy
Come with me love and let's crescendo together
Let's break the ceilings of Heaven and soar
You're the instrument my hands love to stroke
The cords my fingers get entangled with
I will bury my lyrics within your melody
Stirring a sweet refrain of musical bliss
Bringing the music to an inevitable climax
Shattering the Heavens glass ceiling

Aheri Rose Poem
Two souls, one song
Conquering their own demons
By self acceptance and love
With no boundaries
Two hearts, one beat
Sharing each other's battles
With faith as their weapon
And unconditional love the prize
Crying on each other's shoulder
As they watch the tears wash away
The pains and fears of yesterday
And each knows they're home
Deep within each other's eyes
They see a beautiful future unfold
Soft comfort replacing anxiety
Suffering quashed by their love
Deep down they're confident
That if the sun doesn't shine for days
And the dark clouds don't clear
The light within will illuminate bright
Two become one in harmony
Stripped bear of all guilt and shame
Standing unguarded, emotionally naked
With purity and trust their clothing

Aheri Rose Poem
Under the moonlit sky
The ripe rose stands majestically
deep down she understands
that time is upon her once again
As the folklore goes
with the dark moon
she sheds her deep red petals
one by one they all fall
left bare she stoops
hiding the welling tears
of losing her precious children
once again
holding onto hope
of having them back soon
When the full moon reappears

Aheri Rose Poem
I'm lost
too weak to surf
my sad board in two halves
the waves tossing me like a leaf
at sea

Weeds~ what a nightmare!
the pesky, bristly mean seeds;
prickly spikelets

Aheri Rose Poem
Spinning and turning
Life always like a huge wheel
Mighty ferris-wheel
We have to cling onto it
Lest it turn and kick us out

Aheri Rose Poem
It's not about the now dull walls
Or the shiny tiles
Or the tinted glass on the windows
Or the sad-looking stairs
Or the new teak coffee table
Or the painted countertops
Or the new tawny couches
Or the jagged mosaic rag
None of that could make me leave
It just doesn't feel like home anymore
