quiet brings color to my gray world, silence is the music of brilliance, ignite the explosion, open the mind shade, with this light comes all, with this day i walk hand in hand with silence, in awe.

uhh
I let myself fall into the grace of our desire, the fleeting air of mouths reaching for the most delicate of sensations, the tingling of nerves unleashed, falling, floating, parting time with energy to travel through a moment where resides an eternity.

tonight the sun played its tune across the clouds, orchestrating the music of light dazzling the simple whites and grays with dancing oranges, reds and magenta to form the ways we see the struggle of daytime give way to the quiet night, the subtle sparkle of stars, the gentle glow of the moon. I struggle with the release of another day to the world of past  days where all things lived sit in patient observation of what they have brought about how the future takes shape and promptly becomes the past this moment now is the only reality.

now
I have been hiding, waiting, unsure my petals wrapped tightly about seeking courage to show beauty to open for critique by all that see protecting myself from blooming questioning all I might become at the expense of what I am I now lay out the face of what I have become for all to see and compare grateful for the grace I share with comfort in what i’ve become seeking acceptance of all to come as I lie in display the delicate, the tender, the bloom.

Bloom
I look to the moment when I see you smile I feel the energy when I sit beside you I tie my tongue in my mind the knots like clots stop my thoughts impaling me on the sword of desire the fear of rejection freezing to ice the lips that await as you apply appeal so tender, so moist their touch will surely thaw my tongue you will draw into the warmth exploding the sensors adding fuel to our fire yes! decimate me send me to shreds reform me then melt me that I may ooze forth to blend within you once again

lip gloss
We have ridden the waves of discovery to this place where love has found a home in the natural existence of our subconscious selves, we react to each other without intention, we offer freely to each other the fruit of our desires and suffer the consequences of a current interrupted and diverted. We talk as though there is no clock, an hour could be three, a day could be a week, a lifetime together could easily be eternity with no desire to look back. We have been blessed/cursed with a standard by which to judge the future, we have danced with the music of our souls and stayed in step with the common heartbeat therein. We have found love in a place where few have good fortune to pass, without our consent, inspite of ego, pride, cunning, and fear, to this plateau we have come and upon this plateau our love will stay to await the return of the hearts responsible for its arrival. This love, which chooses to live and breathe on its own, has no need of nurture or direction, for it knows it’s home is home where it stays, and will stay in the cloud of comfort it has created regardless of time’s passage.

timeless
just as we speak with words we share our breath we smile sparkles as one we see infinity in our eyes we feel intensity in our passions we know comfort in our silences we have touched what is ours just as the noise of arousal clouds our mental vision the quiet of souls touching brings clarity to our internal space our movement together causes us to brush against the wonder of what we know as truth in my deepest darkness you still make light no cobwebs in my thought no hesitation in my heart my stride long as I step toward what oft feels like ruin but never too painful to bear i still reach for you
