WATCH YOU PLAY
perhaps someday you'll play
and i will watch and help that way
though i'll not be at your side
i can watch, help you ride
although my hand's not there to hold,
knowing i watch may make you bold
gasping grasping seeking pleasure
a memory for us to treasure
|
|
SATISFY MY THIRST
sweet dewdrops flowing
within the folded petals
satisfy my thirst
|

JUST BEFORE HER FALL
In her quivering awareness
Tiny needles in the autumn winds
Which play upon her open skin
Raw with its need and tingling
With brushstrokes of falling leaves,
Flesh singing with each passing touch,
Aching at the melody caused
By her eager awareness.
Imagining her lover's touch,
So long desired and dreamed,
Laid bare in her vulnerability,
Each feather touch as intense
As ice or fire or crashing crescendo,
A symphony of needs and wants,
Played upon and within her body,
And her mind upon the inner trembling,
Just before her fall.

INDECENT PASSAGES
my fingers tell tales
trace indecent passages
upon your hot skin
|
|
EXPECTATIONS AND PROMISES
An intimate moment of trust,
Your delicate yet strong fingers,
Accept the intertwining embrace of mine.
Wordless messages transcending
Time and space, passing skin to skin,
Finger to finger, eye to eye.
Even now, apart, this image can be felt,
Your hand so firmly trusting,
Holding the hand that holds yours.
There is a caress in each movement
The gentle squeeze that passes
Back and forth between us.
There is laughter for no reason,
As we walk hand in hand together,
Making public love in this secret way.
The world of expectations and
Uncertain promises recedes, defeated,
By the fact of this small eternal embrace.
