signaling earth's end
the silence of the poets
a final future
-----
outwardly serene
she hides well the butterflies
wings beating inside
-----
who would ever think
this calm and peaceful woman
raged with such desire
-----
you can feel my gaze
as it strips leaves you naked
searching for poems
-----
come looking for me
for that's the ultimate way
i'll know i matter
-----
to understand me
solve the mystery of me
poems left as clues
-----
if you do love me
you'll accept me as i am
with my joyful sins
-----
a lady we see
while dark corners of her soul
hold the real woman
-----
i had no flowers
only some beautiful words
a bouquet for you
-----
within pastel walls
surrounded by silken thorns
rose about to bloom
-----
arousing at dawn
displayed in skintight sunlight
glowing gown of gold
-----
warm to questing lips
sweet and salty treat awaits
moistened with nectar
