Craving

Needing you,
I see how easy
loving you would be.
I keep you
at arm’s length,
close enough to touch- -
yet making you
untouchable,
fearing losing myself
in you- -a shadow lingering
in the periphery
of your psyche.
You see
some memories
only last so long
before becoming ghosts- -
echoes fade.

Before you forget,
remember
I’m craving you- -
craving me.
Take me into you,
a luscious fruit
for your slow
devouring- -
delectable dessert
destined to warm you
inside.  Take me in,
I’ll be a forever echo- -
                                        LOVE.

Dream Fades

Blue morning- -
chilled
silence
             falls
feathering
dreams
against
satin sheets

Stirring
my heart
beats
for you,
time slips- -
the fade
comes on
quickly

Silver shadow- -
you drift
                 away
love stays- -
the warm
dawning,
I’m ready
to begin again- -
                           sweetly

Hideaway

I’ll let you
swim the river
of my soul- -
sunbathe in
the calm of me
just to be
your secret
hideaway- -

I’ll hike
your heart
seeking
the meadow,
swollen- -
ripe with color,
honey drenched
and ready
for my dreaming

I’ll meet you later
at the headwater
for hugs
and wild berry
                 kisses

Kiss Like This Heaven

 

Angels flutter their lashes- -
butterfly wings brush gently,
my skin tingles.  So electric,
your touch arcs light
across my sky.

We kiss like this heaven- -
our heaven in each kiss,
as two angels collide.

Your warm
summer rain love
washes over me.  So clearly
I see your heart from here- -
feel the beat
your soul dances to.
All the while
I’m captured by
the crystalline structure
of the eyes you see
through me with.
We connect
in the green-gold
light of you- -painting
love shadows on the wall.

Angels flutter their
butterfly lashes
down the hall.
My skin tingles- -your touch
arcs light across my sky.
we kiss like this heaven
as two angels collide.

Not Written

So red,
your voice broke
against my heart- -
slipping my soul
ripping
purple
twilight
dreams
shredding
the sheets
of hope

a love note

Beginning

The love of my life (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Snakes shed- -
a shifting
from one phase
to another.
Winter lets go
giving up its
blankets to
spring’s bursting- -
new life pulsating.
Color storms
our senses- -
we begin again.
Metamorphosis- -
butterfly magic
works in stages.
                I let go- -
                old lovers
                for new.
                It’s hard
                sometimes,
                letting go of
                borrowed
                treasures,
                one age for
                another- -size
                for another- -love,
                for another love.
                Life changes,
                exchanges energies- -
                renewal is
                light over darkness.
                                Endings
                                never- -never
                                really end.
                                Don’t give up,
                                listen- -my heart
                                purrs for you.
                                Hold on to me,
                                see I’m already yours.
                                Focus,
                                breathe,
                                now let go- -
                                it’s just the
                                beginning.
                                We’ve barely
                                scratched the
                                surface together- -LOVE.
