Until That Time

He wraps
His words
In flowers
And tenderness
That they might
Come to rest
Gently
In her heart,
Thereby speaking
The unspeakable.
Their sweetness
Lingers long
After 
They are whispered,
Sustaining her
Until that time

To Everything a Season

She is exposed,
the last of her finery
released by a cold snap,
leaves in a cluster blown
by a winter born breeze
stirring in the shadows

Paying homage, she bows
fairly kneeling before 
the approaching winter solstice, 
and flushed with victory, 
though seemingly defeated, 
begins to weep

For she knows
her restoration lies
in the transient spring

Seduced

They appeared in the aisle before me
I could not look away, mesmerized
by the shrouds of sparkling silver 
that restrained them 

Without saying a word
they called my name, in ecstasy
I soared; I was being pursued 
and could not resist
they were gods, I was certain

after the first, so I agreed to
the second and liked it, turning back 
was no longer possible 
I acquiesced—to the desire of the third
thirty minutes of heavenly bliss,
then they left me

with only memories
and a feeling on my tongue
like whipped velvet

I now count the minutes
until my next encounter
with a Three Musketeers bar

Night Sounds

The raging wind and rain
seem almost musical to me,
as they break and swell, break and swell
in perfect harmony.

At night the sound seems magnified
as it echoes through my mind,
and causes strange imaginings
not unlike a glass of wine!

Excitement wells within me
as I perceive this curious sound.
It strikes a chord of fantasy
seldom ever found.

A little while longer then
and sleep will take its hold,
while the sound escapes to distant shores
and  in memory unfold.

Sweet Surrender

I long to hold you

until 
you melt like warm chocolate
in a warm sun,

until

I am filled
with your sweetness,

until

you know
the truth 
of my words,

until
the craving is satisfied,
and I melt like warm chocolate
in a warm sun
