i followed the sighs
throaty cries which led to you
loved you from afar
-----
small flower i spied
lovely almost out of sight
neglected beauty
-----
there's that face you make
as the ecstasy takes you
I haven't seen... yet
-----
there's no part of you
i can say i don't adore
body heart and mind
-----
words fall from her lips
like tears begging to be kissed
i listen and weep
-----
brush on your colors
from the palette of my words
each stroke perfection
-----
minds so much alike
our blatant desires the same
poems intertwined
-----
i'm always watching
always wish you happiness
though you've never known
-----
words kissing her throat
as the Muse shares precious pearls
mixed in love's warm wine
------
tongue cannot stay still
as it samples flowing words
tasting poetry
-----
old bear of a man
unmoved by performances
just honest actions
-----
each day is harder
the burdens carried alone
just one end in sight
-----
sweetly sensual
temptation of hidden flames
all that he desired
-----
rough soldier poet
gentle words for blushing rose
her dark mystery
-----
light your fires lover
when your flames crackle and leap
we'll burn together
-----
weary after love
so tired we need each other
to rest together
-----
each day is harder
than the sum of all that days
that have come before
-----
poems are pleasure
sometimes smile at what i write
or at what you read
-----
in his absence she
goddess altar sacrifice
offers herself to desire
surrendering in a
solo ritual
