air you are a breath, fresh of it blast make me laugh breeze keep it easy cyclone hasty hurtful words followed by gales of forgiveness gust oh! blow in my ear again breath taken away with a kiss chinook summer breeze makes me feel fine draft make me shiver flurry my insides  flutter my heart mistral we're rarely that cool toward each other unless (see: cyclone) puff the magic dragon tempest stormy passion typhoon come into the eye my darling wafting scent of love whiff when we blow it whirlwind us. by definition. whisk me away zephyr  gentle me again This is, in so many words,  The rarefied air  we are privileged to breathe Deep draughts of love. Between you and me. Breathe with me. My beloved. Breathe.

Deep Draughts of Love
I brought him more than a book more than words on a page I brought him My heart story An epic series I brought him the stories of my life Before, up to, and including him And he read it all Each volume Understanding and translating clearly The tragedies the comedies the sheer terror and beauty of it all And in the romance section Our saga He read of my Deep and abiding attraction Ease of being with him My devotion to caring for his heart This soulmate connection Written so clearly And dearly Indelibly inked love On the pages of my heart

Indelible Love
Wait for me. I will make it worth your while. I dream of you Your face lit with the afternoon sun Coming into my arms Smelling of freshness and wonder To hold your hair in my hands To taste your lips once again Wait for me. My darling. Please. Wait.

that kiss don't lie
You ask me why I eat my feelings? Simple. Food comforts me. It doesn't beat me. It doesn't mock me for crying. Doesn't betray me. It puts on fat to protect me. From fists. Belts. Sharp Words. Past. Present. Future. If I look like I lack discipline. You misunderstand. Discipline was never safe. Never safe. For me. So I eat my feelings. Of un-safe-ty. Never close to satiating the hunger for love inside of me.

Eaten Up
I want to be the potter and you the clay I want to work you with my hands My fingertips pressing now....against the keys the board stiff under the sensitive pads as I feel you press back against me imagining your lips soft wet tenderly pressing into me. The clay soft and supple under my hands forming you, widening you again and again my muscles working against your stiffer aspects as we spin together wetting, re-wetting and smoothing my hands against your silky slick foundation strong and yet pliable seeking relief from standing strong and unyielding need. You are a deeper container than I anticipated and I, a roaring flood threatening sweep you away. but you hold... steady. What Joy! What Relief! we never expected to contain one another without harm! without fear! Peaceful now our lines flow together the potter the clay the hand and the wheel we come together. I love how we feel.

Hea(r)t Expansion
When I was young My ****** energy Went out To seek those Whose lesson taught me more about contrast than equanimity Now that I am older I see these young studs with their pickup lines and I say "Hey look at me, I am ready for love." But I am old now. They are young. They can't see in me Who I am. So I offer love. And the ones that come They are often broken like me. But that's ok. Those young guns They will soon find out That time waits for no one And all our smooth moves when we're young Don't hold up under the blistering sun of reality That ages your face and your body. Just so. So you feel unattractive. Unseen. Unwanted. And begin to believe it. I am vulnerable in this place. Between the ages of Unwanted And Un-needed. If my value was only in procreation Then I am priceless I created his legacy And left with mine Unwanted Un-needed. It is no wonder our ****** energy wanes as we get older. No! Not mine. You can't take the one place I feel young. Or the place I feel free. Age. You cannot take this passion from me. Now that I have found it, I won't let it go. Passion Timeless This is what we seek To be young again To seek what was in the face of what is It is all energy. ****** Physical Healing It starts when we are young and continues til we die...this thread of life. What will we do with it? Create? Hate? Liberate? ****** Energy Yep. It's a thing. It is for creation. Manifestation. Positive works. Or didn't they teach you that in parochial school? Of course not. That is against the rules.

He wants me He says. Don't they all? I am tired of being wanted. I am tired of being needed. You have yourself a passel of kids Out your own wahoo -- You wouldn't want to be wanted neither. Don't want me. Don't need me. Bring me flowers and roses And mix tapes And doughnuts On Sunday morning. Kiss me. Sweep me up in your arms. Look me in the eyes. That would send me. Bring me. Send me. Don't want me. Don't need me. The want and the need make me tired. The bring and the send makes me free! But. Maybe. He, too, is tired of being wanted and needed. Well. Then. What are we to do? Want and need one another? No. Too many competing demands. Take my hand. Please. Just tell me you love me. Don't want me. Don't need me. Just love me. And I will just love you.

Want and Need
I will fight for you I will write for you sing my song for you for you I will sing my songs of healing, sing my songs revealing my true love... I will write for you I will fight for you In my heart in my arms you belong. I have a right to you. From several lifetimes through to this one where we met, and love began Again. I will write for you. Will you write me too? Will you use the same words now as you did then? Will you fight for me, as I fight for you? Fight to hold onto the joy we share. Rest now, my love. My darling, my dove. Aphrodite has nothing on you. Rest your head, my weary prince. Let me take off my dress. And hold our hearts together until we melt.
