Poems #7
These poems range in time from about 1986 till present.....I have tried to preserve them in chronological order.
Wrap around me, shields of steel
Entering, I can not feel
Sleepless nights, inside me lay
Slowly, I begin to pray
Helplessness, ward off the need
Causing me again to bleed
Yet my heart, beats on and on
Soon the pain will all be gone
Softness falls, away the night
Amber rays, the morning light
Twilight just a memory, fair
As the dawn looms in the air
Night, my Love, untill I'm there
Empty night, burning red
Evil thoughts surround my head
Helpless feelings, drowning me
Wishing death would set me free
Blood red wine, stains my dreams
Thoughts of you won't let me be
In my mind you're killing me
As my heart rips at the seems
Somehow this night, that feels so cold
Is laying in wait, till you take hold
Of my soul, I almost feel you near
Even though your voice I can't hear
Whispering away, away in the night
Will your arms ever hold me tight?
Can this be what we're meant to see?
Is there hope that "someday" will be?
So into the night, I spread my wings
To be at your side, shrouded in dreams
The dunes of time,
Our futures call
Within the past,
Our cries do fall
Does bliss await,
Along our way
Will blessedness,
Rule someday?
Is there a word you yearn to hear,
A bittersweet confession whispered in your ear?
If it goes unsaid will you turn away,
Without that word I find so hard to say?
I do try to show you what's deep inside,
How much your presence brings me alive,
So closely does it feel your near
It frightens me that I can sense you here,
And yet, I know I can trust in you
That somehow together we can see this through,
I ache to tell you all the things I hide
But this haunting dread keeps them locked inside,
So forgive me if I don't say the word
Just believe and let what's in my soul be heard
Oh my sweet, my succulent one
Dancing on the days
Hear my call, my siren song
Drifing through the haze
Life moves forth, moves in time
To forces all unseen
Heed the call, the battle wall
My love has always been
Under the moon, a silent night
Silvery beams, shining bright
Limbs entwined, souls laid bare
A gift of Love, we soon will share
Armand's Kiss
His shadow silk slid down my arms
Brushed my face with soft, soft charms
Fingers twined and tangled there
Dancing through his long black hair
Our breath mingling, soft and low
Tension mounting, oh so slow
His fingers moving with erotic intent
Self control, from me rent
Back arched low, neck exposed
His fingers gently part my clothes
Our bodies caress from head to toe
Bathed in the heat of desires glow
Senses captured in sensual bliss
I eagerly await Armand's kiss

Today
I walked the streets of a town I rarely see
In stores I have never been
With a man I have lived near for most of my life
Yet am just now getting to know
Today
I danced, spinning beneath the beams
Of a place I had never been
With people I've longed for most of my life
And probably will never know
Today
I shopped, wandering in endless bliss
In stores I have never been
Found treasures and pleasures for the rest of my life
As good a day as I have known
Arise, Arise
Time to get out of bed
Alas, the snow
Brings the covers to head
Today I went to get out of bed
The snow dived me under covers instead
I never wanted to feel possessive
Nor to feel possessed
Yet here I am, clinging to you
Pressed tightly to your chest
I never wanted to need someone
My strength was in being alone
Yet here I wait impatiantly
For you to pick up the phone
Who is this person I see each day
Gazing at me with my eyes
Is this a person I want to be
Or should I duck and hide
I feel something changing me
A little every day
I think it's you inside of me
Now if only you will stay
Your warm brown eyes
Your gentle presence
Your vibrant energy
Your electric sexuality
Your stimulating mind
Your soothing voice
Your sensual lips
Your tempting embrace
Just being with you
Brings joy in it's place
In Silentness
Silky night
Restlessness
Endless flight
Dipping and diving
Wingless glide
Serenity
Moonlit ride
