i shall write
you
a love letter
with words
unheard
words
from deep within
my heart
words
passed from
my lips
to yours
with such
a gentle touch
to be
undecipherable
to all
but
you
but all
will know
that you
have heard
what they
can
only
dream
to hear

by

lips…

lips

death
lying in my bed
sweet fragrances
luring me
to its side
warm flesh
of eternity
embraces
my fears
gentle promises
of a new life
stroke my brow
and i
begin
to love
the darkness
no prying eyes
to judge
my every move
or
passions unfulfilled
and so
we
kiss

 

by

rusted love…

rusted love

night
kissed
by moist
bay lips
lingering
aftertaste
of passion
in an empty bed
smoke
from a single
cigarette
rises
a burnt offering
to venus
no
thoughts
of tomorrow
all dreams
set sail
like peter pan
through
the open window
as harbor fog
blankets
naked promises
forgotten
with morning’s
first light

by

essence of existence…

breathe in deeply
the fragrance of love
bite into the passion
of the night
tasting the sweetness
that lingers on the lips
long after the sun
has reached
for the alarm
and
hands have clocked in
for another
assembly line day
where
the only joy
to be found
still permeates
the flesh
of your
lips

this day…

the night
has found
your dreams
and returned
them to you
you need not
wander alone
along the shore
of expectation
skipping stones of desire
into a murky sea
come lie with me
before the dawn
touches your lips
and before the sun
tolls the noon day bell
breathe in the beauty
of the gift
of a day
with love

by

spirit of my love…


i see you
in the night sky
outlined in a pattern
of stars
i hear your voice
when the wind
blows through
the tall pines
i feel your lips
against mine
when the rain falls
gently in the spring
and yet
i feel alone
as i walk
from day to day
a shadow
cast by my own
yesterdays

by

morning ritual…

During the next few days, I will be on holiday…yes again…so I will be posting very few comments on your blogs…however I shall continue to post new poems here and hope that you will enjoy them.  Until then, cheers!

fingers
trace
her lips
floating
across
surfaces
as if feeling
the velvet love
within

as my day begins
i stare
upon your image
and my heart pounds
can you hear it
away from you
i trace your lips
in the air
can you feel it
at nightfall
i place a lotus blossom
where you should be
can you smell it
when i speak
and you do not answer
my tears fall
can you taste them
as i rush into dreams
my thoughts
are only of you
my forever love
i am of you

these words i write…

Photograph by Vlad

my words
are all around you
feel them
against your skin
gentle as my lips
tracing the curvature
of your spine
in our warm bed
just
before morning’s dawn
do not ask if this will end
close your eyes
hold this moment
a gentle breeze
caressing the soul’s passion
holding our love
within this hallowed sanctuary
where each touch
is a sacred point
of the cross
in our love
and
where every breath
i take
becomes
a holy
sacrament
of
love  

Jade and Vlad have done it again…forced me to write a love poem during this challenge because of the image they provided.  For those of you new to this recent challenge…the whole idea behind it is to send a picture ( in this case by Vlad) to the other as inspiration (to the visual muse), and the other has to write a poem inspired by the image.  Please take a look at how Jade has responded to my most recent challenge photograph on her site.
