Hee Hee Haiku

I am a bit hot
For Harriet Tecumsah
What is wrong with that...?

For a fellow Rhymeslut who commands me to 'keep them coming!' :-D

Permission For... (Haiku)

One to five kisses
Place them softly where you will
I'll try to keep still.

Escaping the Cold

The air is crisp and sharp.
Steal your arms around me.
Cup me with your hands
And share my warmth.
I may shiver,
But not because I'm cold;
Miniature suns
light me from within.
I am glowing, glowing
Throwing off heat
Fiercely on fire
Flaring with desire
Burn here with me
Stoke the flames
We'll blaze so strongly
I think that we might melt.

The Promise of Summer

Sunbeams reach through the window
Touching me, tentatively,
Raising gooseflesh, waking desire.
Dormant nevermore,
I am a Summerchild,
Opening up to the promise of the light.
Banish deathwatch Winter
Gift me the Spring like a flower in bud
To slowly open, as the days grow longer,
And the memories of darkness fade
with long forgotten grief
abandoned, left to drown
Amidst the January floods.

Hello, Happy

Today,
A little happy peeked around the corner
And waved.
He was shaped like a question mark,
And kept changing colour
For he couldn't quite decide
If blue was appropriately ironic.

I haven't seen a happy for a while,
So I waved back,
And he turned red.
Either blushing, or angry,
A reluctant happy.
Nevertheless,
He made me smile.

Reposting my favourite.

Paint Me

Take a soft tipped brush
Dip, and trace my nakedness;
Viscous dripping rainbow streams
Clothe me here within our dreams.
Swirl my curves
With satin pink,
Let your brush flutter and sink
lower, purples, red and blue,
I'm a canvas here for you.
Paint me scarlet, paint me gold,
Paint some words
italic, bold
Stop when you begin to weep
A masterpiece, for us to keep.

We are Art

The choices we make
The life-changing ones
Are indelibly etched on our hearts and souls and skin.
Every decision is a making, a changing,
I am tattooed
And so are you.
Let's compare our pictures
And tell each other stories.
Make notes on me
I'm still a choice
Waiting to be branded
Let your ink flow.
