Poem: "Wishing For You"

"Wishing For You"

September morn
come 'round again
the wind makes
the trees sway
as the leaves
soon change color

Our room is empty
since you went away
the sheets unkempt
your scent lingering

As I sit in the same
old chair
in front of the blinking
computer screen

Waiting for the words
to come
that will make you see
somehow
make you stop in
your tracks

Last night
we had coffee
and talked for the last time

If I close my eyes
and let my thoughts drift off
of us alone
together

That special place
where we can never go
because you, my darling
belong to another

And I refuse to give in
to the temptation of
casting aside
my better angels

I need you
but I can never
be the one
for you, my dearest

I want you
but the secret garden
will be forever locked away

Our Eden
will never be
though I still
wish for you

My world's spinning
as you watch desperately
with love in your heart
as I silently fade into
beautiful shadow

How I love you still

And my forlorn heart
will cling to you
amidst the great divide
that will forever
be our guide.

Poem: "Light The Way"

"Light The Way"

The night has passed
the clouds of despair and pain
that have threatened to
overtake our longing hearts
has gone away

Take my hand
and gaze at me
with that sultry look
that gets me every time

Tell me your secrets
share with me your
unspoken desires
and let the moment
take us where it will

Kiss me
with your aching lips
and let the sweetness
linger on my mouth

Take me
I want to feel
whole again

Take me to that place
where only you know how
Soaking wet
our bodies intertwine

And let the sounds
of our passionate discourse
be our guide
and light the way

To eternal bliss
as the candle burns
fervent and bright.

Poem: "Breathe"

"Breathe"

The morning sun
shines brightly
illuminating
your beautiful contours

The former melancholy
of secret night and her
hidden devotions and
unknown desires
best left undisturbed
has faded

You gaze on me
so longingly
with those eyes
your lovely eyes

Lying in bed
with you
skin against skin
our bodies intertwined
your warmth is intoxicating

Your breath on my neck
pressed up against you
I can feel your heart beat
hard as a drum

I need you
like the sun needs the moon
and the stars need the
perfect expanse of sky

I could live a thousand years
and yet, I would never find
another one as beautiful as
you are to me

You've become the air
I so desperately long
to breathe.

Poem: "The Trouble With No"

"The Trouble With No"

The door swings open
as you leave
for the last time
as memory starts to fade
I hear the birds outside
chirping mournfully

Your cup of coffee
sits untouched on the counter
the morning paper
on the table unread

Last night
with you
was incredible

You decided
to wear a low cut top
and your favorite jeans
with your hair down

We went out to the park
and sat under the sky
we talked of the future
and watched the stars
as they faded and streaked
across the face of night

You took my hand
and whispered softly
of your desires and dreams
as we kissed over and over
our bodies pressed up against
one another

We went home
later that night
and you slipped
into something
more comfortable

The lights turned down low
you kissed me once
I turned away
trying to fight you off

But you wrapped your arms
around my waist and
pulled me onto you
and, before I could protest
you kissed me hard
and gazed with those
perfect eyes

And the rest
was enraptured
in sweet surrender.

Poem: "Right Here, Now"

"Right Here, Now"

Alone
in front of this blinking
screen
staring at blank white
waiting for the words
to come

The room is empty
the bed is cold
everything is different
without your love
to fill my lonely spaces

I close my eyes
and imagine you
right here, now
and in that moment
we're together again

I touch your face
we lean in closer
I feel your breath
on my neck

As we kiss
the world stops
for an instant
my heart spins

I hear you
whispering
in my ear

I need you
I want you
please stay awhile
because you
and only you
make me whole

As our bodies meet
at the mutual intersection
as I lay against you
the heat rises

A moan escapes
as your legs part open
and the rhythm of our
sensual interlude
threatens to overtake us

I need you
I ache for you
I want you so badly
I can taste it

You are the night sky
and all the glittering stars

You are the sun
that shines brightly

You are my whole world
and forever will be.

Poem: "Don't"

"Don't"

Time has passed slowly
the moment has lingered
for far too long
as the sky turns dark

The beauty of former
has faded against the tumult
against the wishes of the demons
lurking just beneath the cracks
waiting to surface

Gone is the way things
used to be
when the world made sense
and youth was on my side

As you walk away
the waters have receded
and faith weeps crystal tears
as my heart shatters
cast off
into oblivion

"Please don't go," I whisper desperately

How I need you still.

Poem: "Under The Lights"

"Under The Lights"

The sun fades silently
as the sky waits
for the subtle beauty
of coming night

Discretion gives way
to desperate release
please, I beg you, take me
away with you

You have what I need
what I want
what I crave

Exploring the boundaries
pushing the envelope
under the lights.
