Poem: "Beauty's Whisper"

"Beauty's Whisper"

Waking up next to you
the morning sun hits my face
with its welcoming warmth
the clock reads 9 a.m.

The night has faded
in its exquisite glory
with its secret promises
and perfect indiscretion

You gaze at me so sweet
it makes my heart soar
feels like heaven beside you
my dear beloved

Kiss me once
with that aching mouth
those perfect lips
make this moment
linger just awhile longer

When our bodies meet
at the sensual intersection
of affection and longing
I'm on fire
as you lean closer
into me
deeper we go down

In the morning you lay in bed
your head on my bare chest
I feel the joy in you breath
I feel you up against me
whispering gently in my ear

"I love you"

Then something within me
dies and is reborn in an instant
the world is wide and wonderful
once more

On the windowsill, a dove waits
shimmering in the afterglow
of beauty's return.

Poem: "Falling Into You"

"Falling Into You"

The night calls out
to the sweltering
glittering neon signs

The skyline is beautiful
with the stars streaking
across the face of heaven

The room is bare
walls are unadorned
signs of the past
everywhere

As the old typewriter
it sits idly
waiting for the words
to come

But we both know
it won't work out exactly
the way we may want it to
despite the desperation
lingering against
your window

Look to the sky
touch my face
hold my hand
and let the wonder
of us take you away
once more.
