but i ain’t neva been where i’m ‘sposed to be

till I got to you
my love true

she loved the way...

she loved the way
his eyes held her
how they floated toward her 

embracing her
like angels’ wings
softly and tenderly
how they sparkled like
green and golden stars
on a dark winters’ night
how in his eyes not only
did she see his soul
but her own as well

she loved the way
his mouth worshipped her
with words of love
with sounds of love
as if she were
a greek goddess to whom
such homage should be paid
in diamonds and rubies
and when he kissed her
how his mouth cautiously
meandered from her
shoulder up the valley
of her neck to the curve
of her cheek and then
down to the plump
hills of her own waiting lips

she loved the way
his nostrils joyfully
inhaled her fragrance
her essence her very being
how they flared
like a magnificent stallion
ever so slightly
at just the sight of her and
how as he took a breath
she felt herself being
drawn down down into
the recesses of his
life forces

 she loved the way
his sinewy hands
seemed to have a life
of their own when
he touched her
emitting powerful
electrical charges into her flesh
how they echoed the
rhymic  beating
of her heart’s desire
deep inside its chamber of bone
and heard her heart sing
in exaltation to their touch

she loved the way
his body responded to her
to the image of her to the sound of her
the smell of her to the taste of her
to her response to him
how uncontrolled and uncontrollable
it became as if taken hostage by
some unseen cannibalistic cosmic force
all consuming devouring all in its path
until its thirst was momentarily quenched
its hunger momentarily satiated

she loved the way
that theirs was a passion a lust a love
so intense as to defy the physical alone
demanding all and then more
as it did in a way that
neither could understand could comprehend
in a way neither had experienced before
and would ne’er experience with any other
in a way that they loved as no others had nor ever would

yes, they loved that way

what good these lips...

that no longer taste

his
.
.

she thinks of him...

she thinks of him
on days cold as
the arctic winds
his absence now
the frigid echoes
of time gone by

on days hot as the
burning desert
his loss leaving
ripples of crimson
across her broken heart

on days drenched
in dripping tears of the sky
the vacuum of what
was him filled with
liquid vapors

she thinks of him
on nights sparkling
like diamonds cast
upon black velvet
dark reminders of
of their silent love

 

on nights crisscrossed
with nature’s raging power
keepsakes of their passion
held now in the closed box
of what was

on nights inglorious
nights devoid of light
of movement
of life
of love
of them
 

she thinks of him

your words...

your words
somehow 
have slipped 
into my own shadows 
capturing all that is there
including the tears

love unlived...

you penetrate my dreams
permeate my silent screams
and glide into the ancient streams
                    
where love holds always your invite
and darkness holds its secrets tight
but like the wind regrets take flight

what has happened to my sight
did vision die without the light
and leave me now to this sad plight

nothing is as it seems
nothing left to redeem

when will it ever end
when will it ever end

never
he whispers
never

ever.

to speak...

you speak to me

in words of painted fire
the flame to my desire
lay me now on that pyre
and take my love entire

you move in me
  with words of liquid red
  and nothing left unsaid

fire in the night
sky burnin’ bright
you my heart ignite
till the mornin’ light 

 

you speak to me

your aphrodite

wishin' you love and blood red moons in 2011...

blood
red
moon
in midnight black 
touching you
touching me 
blood in the moon
love gone too soon
tears in my heart
why did we part

blood
red
moon 
in velvet light
kissing you
kissing me
blood in the moon
cries love’s tune
sadness to stay
and we both pay

wish i might
have my wish
come true this night
of

blood
red
moon

the tactic...

from you

there was
no thief

in the night
sneaking without sound
into the dark
that was my life

stealing
slowly
surely
my love

no
from you
there was
the barging in
the raging stampede
the complete attack
holding unspeakable ransom
in one swift swoop

leaving no option
but
the total surrender

of my heart

.

to be with you...

all

i

gotta

do

to

be

with

you

just

close

my

eyes
and
the
world
deny

do you...

do you think
of any other
save for me

do you see
the other
and think of me

do you hold
another and
feel only me

do you kiss
the other lips
but taste my own

do you cry
her name aloud
but hear just mine

does your body
find distasteful
all but ...
mine

i know -
because i do
you, too...

[i know, a re-post - enjoy again!]

atonement...

littered with memory’s remains

days fill with my heart’s black rain
 

nights now bound in love’s cold chains
 

life goes on the gods ordain

life without you lived in vain

you are...

my river run calm

my gilead's balm

you...

without you...

'nother

day

of

heart

beatin’

blues

ain’t

got

nothin

not

even

no

clues

days

all

dark

and

nights

darker

too
 

wish

i

knew

what

i’as

gonna

do

can’t

do

nothin'

without

you

heart beatin’ blues
 

 without
you

he dared...

to ripple my lake -

yes

he

did!

my love true...

i been an awful lotta places
kissed all kinds’a  handsome faces
even found one i thought was for me
but i ain’t neva been where i’m ‘sposed to be

till I got to you
my love true

shadow love...

they saw confinement

i felt contentment

they saw withdrawal
i was 

within
they saw

 slavery
i became 

free
they saw 

what they saw

i stayed

 me

ghost love...

when you reach out in the night
and search for me
with all your might
then call my name in vain
does it really feel the same

with her?

i surrender...

i have fought far too long
etching memories into my heart
storing them safely
to take them down from
the shelf of what was
to hold them still to caress them
to sniff the fragrance of their time
a time when life was
when love was
when i was
when we were
fearing life unbearable
without the flavor of their reality
i have fought far too long
keeping them alive
keeping them at the surface
of the waters of my mind
where they could remain forever
cellularly connected to the me of me
so that my soul might still survive
the dankness and darkness of
the nothingness of now
the now without you
the now without us
and therefore, the now without me
for what can remain of me
when that part of me that
completed me is gone
is no longer with me
no longer beside me
no longer in me
leaving this
nothingness of now
this absence this void
i have fought far too long
yes, it is true
so now - now -
now - i surrender
i surrender me
i surrender all that was
all that could have been
that should have been
that never can be again
i surrender all
else how might i go on
how might you continue
each not living while alive
each choosing death by life
so i surrender
to love to passion to life
i surrender to us
i shall choose to live
for us both
you there and me here
smiling for what was
weeping not
for what cannot be
yes, i surrender -
i surrender to the
magnificence of now

the magnificence

the now
of love’s holy memories

feelin' the light...

come with me out of control 

into the chaos
through the ambivalence
into the LUSTLIGHT 

come with me
