Lost for words within endless stares
Losing truth when we choose dares
Fighting for peace like we don't care
Destroying our treasure as though not rare

We can say what we mean
But translation lies
Caging a raven:
Only free when it flies
What we find in our hands
like blood promises made
The color of our conviction
Reflecting like a blade
"Forever" we promised
Yet forever we fight
Only desiring the arms
That hold us tight

The only One for me,
no matter the span
Or depth of sea
Our perfect plan:
My love with me
So far we ran
Just to love free....

Why can't our past chains just let us be?

I love you for reasons that can't manifest
into physical forms
The ethereal pull of love within me
is beyond reasoning or control
But you asked for reasons, so I'll do my best

I adore your hair and how completely it captures my attention
Your eyes lock me in paradise, so full and wanting
Your form and frame like a comic book heroine, commanding my attention
And ****! Your thighs just keep me alive within my fantasies
You redefined beauty for me
You created a new measure by which I held others
and none other could ever measure up

-[But that doesn't touch my love for you.]-

I love how we play when we both feel safe
I love how you flirt with me
I love more than anything how delicious you taste
Never have I bonded with someone
on such a chemical level
Your skin, your smell, your taste, your curves
all of YOU commands my nerves
You light me on fire and dominate my desires
You are the only one that I ever want
Your smile and seduction have captured me completely.

-[But these aren't reasons why I love you.]-

I love you because my heart, my spirit, my mind, and my physical body
all convene into one known truth: I cannot live without you.
You bring a peace and wholeness to my life.
You create within me a singular hunger that knows only you.
Everything that I am wants you and only you.
I love you, but not because you are beautiful.
I love you, but not because we fit together.
I love you, but not because you're the best I've found.
I love you, but not because I no longer want to search for another.
I love you, but not for any reason I could list.
The reasons follow the love, not create it.
My love transcends above mere reasons
What I feel for you is beyond reason and description
It is a desire to live or the need to take another breath
that happens because the body needs it
...because it's *right.

The magic is gone
sadness reigns
if it's not anger
it's pouring rain
Lost within the madness
of fighting again
Love all but forgotten
as we take it on the chin
Communication styles
of anger and hurt
deminishing what's left
of my own self worth
Another day of wishing
I was simply gone
Insides churning misery
the pain lingers on
My world upside down
as darkness lets me hide
The pain remembered brightly
as the sun glares it's shine

i gave you a broken heart of glass
You cradled me and cut me
You showed me the beauty within the shards
You taught me to live with a broken heart

You took my hand and you held it tight
Blinded with tears, you gave me sight
Frozen with fears, we embraced the night
Facing death, you showed me life.

i was never prepared for who you are
Not the beautiful hair, nor the secret scar
You became a goddess within my soul
Your heart the spark for me to become whole

Our path had many ends that led into the sea
The broken shards that I carried with me
were ground to become sand beneath our feet
And allowed you to walk away with me

1.19.16~10.21a

a good-night kiss
soft, forgiving
inviting
reminding me of living
reconciliatory touch
a lingering embrace
beautiful eyes
clinging to my face
kissing again
with deliberate softness
a new wish forms:
could we do this more often?
102815~7.12a

I miss you so hard today
I feel it in my breath
weighing so heavy
This empty loneliness
consumes when you're away
My goddess, my lover,
if ever you grant my wish
let it be today that I have you in my arms
060710~7.06a

Frozen in time within my mind
you'll never grow old
and beauty will cling to you
like my eyes as you leave the room
Your hair spilling over your shoulders
will capture me like waterfalls
eternally falling
only for you
Your eyes are my sunrise
lighting my day with your smile
and your love, my strength
to endure every trial
Time cannot stop
but neither could my love
cherishing every moment of you
like the night with the stars above
Your darkness encloses me in comfort
As my light defines your curves
with shadows, fingertips, and lust
my devotion expressed through my words
I'll never get enough of Us.
101515~8.39a

The strands of your hair left in my bed
The smell of your body on my sheets
Your beautiful noises and what you said
There's nothing about you I don't need

Your muffled sounds of pleasure lingering
throughout everything in this dawn
You bring me more pleasure than anything
There's no greater love to wish upon
060210~7.23a

You turn moments into flaming time
Air to passion; your flesh becomes mine
I'm alive in a way I've never existed
Any desire no longer resisted

You belong to me outside of time
Forever beautiful and forever mine
My goddess is the one who set me free
I am finally alive now that she
is with me.

052710~10.55p

As I wake and walk in this torrent
I am filled with your love.
Soaked through
with every bit of me
loving you.
You tease and you play
with hips of heaven
and lips of promises
I'm still excited
...still in love,
and forever will be
for the rest of my days.

052610~6.33a

I was alone last night
but, within dreams I found you.
You comforted and kept me
all to yourself and never left me.
Held tight to the *****
of the goddess I adore;
My lifelong lover
could never love me more.
I am saturated in desire
for what she gives,
how she smells and who she is.
My goddess, my temptress,
my exquisite lover, divine;
You are the world to me
and you are Mine.
052515~6.34a

tear up
burned out
smothered in doubt
gasping for air
and holding my breath
When it finally comes
the air shifts and
spirits lift
filling my body with love
It only takes one day
one moment
to fall back to ****
How many times
can I take this hit?
I'm ready to be done
and give up on life
If only I could travel back in time
and kick my mother in the stomach
before she made the biggest mistake of our lives
090115~6.58a

Waking this dawn
the fire flickers on
Rekindling the flame
ever-burning in your name
The light from your love
wakes me with smiles
You are always near me
though distanced by miles
Knowing you are coming
to see me today
brings hope within longing
in the most beautiful way.
052010~6.3a

hope
like the red sun rising
through burning forests
is beautiful and terrifying
Labored breaths,
as though smoke-filled,
burn as they are drawn in
reluctantly
in need of life, like me
Aching from self-abuse
and misuse, yet
my heart hurts more
Hoping that after the fire,
like a Jack Pine,
I'll become something new
Rather than a phoenix,
rising again only to burn
082615~8.08a

Who we thought we were
Who we came to be
Neither lived up to the fantasy
We crushed our spirits
And took our souls
The weight growing heavier
As we grow old
Smiles fade into apprehension
As codependency enslaves
The harder we fight the tension
The more consumed by the waves
Flooded with anger and confusion
Judgemental delusion
Hearts ending up hard
In self-imposed seclusion
Unknowing of the future
We still strive for our dreams
Working harder than ever, yet
Living beyond our emotional means
082515~8p

blinding madness
while drowning in sadness
I'm confused and angry
bruising with self-hate

knowing you love me
but the waves stay above me
gasping for air shouldn't shame me
I just want someone to relate

The logic gets twisted
just to be right
instead of sharing compassion
we digress into a fight

The one I trust most
can't hold my heart with care
slowly becoming a ghost
with a distant stare

I regressed to fragility
shards of my heart scratching my eyes
wondering if this love
will be the end of our lives
082415~8.02a

This rising tide of violence
In the silence of fury
The world getting blurry
Fading voices
Baiting choices
Heartbeats in a hurry
Lost decisions in remission
Still staying the course
I force the temper down
Drowned in smoke
To choke the anger out
This time my mind is
SO LOUD
I find the rhyme helps it to
Fade Out.

I love you more
than stealing stars to shine
I love you more
now that you are mine.
I love you more
than the wind can say,
"I love you more
than the air today."
I love you more
than I could ever prove
but, I'll never stop writing
how much I love you.

051810~2.37p

You've captured me completely
with your skin and eyes
the way you feel sets me afire
and how you see me
burns your love into my presence
with an ever-hot brand
bearing our names and promises of forever.
You excite me and sooth me
The very idea of us
moves me
You are the One, dear Lesa,
who will always be my goddess
Who will walk in my heavens
and sleep within the depths
of my endless adoration.
051710~7.43a

My goddess bestows
sweet, sensual dreams
the world could never know
what pleasure she brings
I pray to her ***
with every breath
my heart is devoted
with every beat left

051215@6.34a

Inside my heart
is where you'll always reign
sitting upon the throne
erected in your name
Inside my heart
tattooed walls beat
they pump hard for your words
and live only for your release

051110~11.49a

My morning light
first captured within your eyes
before I open mine
before the ball of flame
reaches our sky
I am enamored awake
then coaxed back down
into my seductive slumber
within your arms and skin
where your lips keep pulling
my full length in

Waking without you
prompts dreams ******
so full of the fantasy
that you're always near.
051110~6.49a

"A cruel thief disguised as dawn
tearing me from the arms of rest
stark light and morning's caress
stealing dreams from weary eyes and tangled hair
At least while I slumber, I have you there."*
-Lesa 050610~6.23a

//In reply//

Oh, my love, how I adore you
My body aches when I am without you
Let me beg, with my body implore you
You are my light, if my senses be true
I want nothing more than to be with you.
051010~8.21a

Opening my eyes to reality
and finding you're not around me
I crush my eyes closed
and wait for my heart to slow
I'll find you when sleeping soundly.

050310~6.35a

My dear goddess
whose lips of flame
sear into my body
to brand her name
A loyal devotion
with my body and skin
I offer you it all
in sacrifice again.

042610~11.22a

You are mine
until the end of time
I will boldly cheat Death
in this eternal love crime

042610~8.08a

My chest pounds louder
each moment we're apart
A day seems a deafening eternity
without your mouth on my heart
I miss you, my goddess,
come speak with your love
Come crashing down around me
as oceans from above.

042610~6.51a

The Lion and the Bull
The Wolf and the Crow
How we met and fell in love
is a mystery we may never know
But, here we are,
twenty years in
and we glare through glazed stares
wondering how to start again
Your freedom of expression
clashing against my sensitive ears
My rebellion against repression
is warring with your fears
How do we cross this battlefield
with our shields in the air?
With our spears raised high,
can we show that we care?
We're ready to fight
and we want to join sides
together against the odds
for the rest of our lives.

070815~1.34p

The comfort of your arms
was disguised as sleep
as I prematurely opened my eyes
to the dark cold morning.
I couldn't look for the sun,
only for you and your skin.
The heavy in my eyes
was calling to your affectionate touch.
The weight in my heart yielding
as the weight closing my eyes
blurred my thoughts.
As I embraced you in my half-sleep dreams,
calling to you with unsyllabled prayers,
you heard me and answered.
As your arms entangled me,
coaxing me back down
into my slumber of unyielding lust
knowing there's nothing more desired
than just being alone with us.

I miss you the moment you are gone.

042110~7.21a

Looking forward to the night
when you are mine
and within my realm
the pressure pushing us closer
Moving together
Sweat and lust
grabbing flesh and hip thrusts
Moving so sensually is
always so easy for us
coming so natural
--like breathing--
The looks, the touches, the teasing....

041610~6.42a

My love for you
is endless as time
You give me hope
You inspire my rhyme
You're the only goddess
I've ever met
I need you forever within my arms,
My adored
Juliet

041210~7.1a

This love for you begins
in the darkness
I wake with my thoughts
of us together inside
of a world collapsed
around our lives
Leaving a shining sun
where we used to lay
Where you become my heaven
and I, your day.

040910~6.56a

I died last night
and I saw you there
My eyes were focused on
your long, dark hair
   I died last night
   It wasn't a dream
   It's so much hotter
   than it may seem
I died last night
It was just you and I
Naked and aflame
under a starless sky
   I died last night
   and your eyes led me there
   Close to your love
   Closer to where...
I died last night
under the still, full moon
I was inside you
Midnight til Noon
   I died last night
   and I saw your face
   You were always waiting
   ...just at a different place
I died last night
and I felt your skin
wrapped so tightly
around me again
   I died last night
   and I breathed your breath
   You took my pain until
   only love was left
I died last night
and for you, I was saved
My goddess now holds
the rest of my days.

040510~1.23p

Waking is so hard
The sky blackish-blue
Eyes fluttering to open
All desires are of you.

0140510~040510~6.22a

I am left defenseless
in a barrage of lust
My love has overtaken
all that's not us.

I dream you
I breathe in your want
I wake and I need you
a little more than before
You are my goddess
my coveted little *****
You give me everything
and I spank you for more
I hold you down
when you need to leave
I steal your breath
when you need to breathe
I love my goddess
when you're on your knees
Close your eyes
and see only me
I am the god
in which you'll believe.
040110~7.3a

My love is burning me alive
Come wash your passion
over my body of lust
Come drench my life;
let me drown in us.

-[Unfinished]-

My thoughts held captive
between a goddess' thighs
Though, within her eyes
is where I feel alive.

033010~2.02a

My lips parch without your kiss
My lungs drown without your breath
My hearing quiets to whispers, and
My eyes can see   only what's left:
My unending, uncompromising need for you.

032910~7.24a

We're so ******* used
to being torn apart
by those we've loved
and given our heart.
Now, it's coming too close
to what we've barely saved
These buildings of stone
can't keep us safe
from loving each other
and these "little earthquakes"

Still devoted,
Still trying...
Yet, so much effort
and still left crying.
We talk it out
find a place
that we agree
and still feel safe
But, then we sleep
and morning calls
feelings change and
we lose it all.
Back to heartache
back to pain
if we 'talk' again
will it end the same?
I want to be your rock
I wanna be strong
My heart'll try forever
...if it'll last that long.

031510~4.35p

I'm so tired this morning
from dreaming so hard
I closed my eyes so tightly
dreading to wake apart
031510~6.42a

Response
Phantom shadows in my periphery
Wandering memories haunting me
Your lingering touch upon my skin
The fading feeling of you within
Light of day comes all too fast
When all I want is this dream to last.
-Lesa Renee 031510~8.03a

dreaming in the early hours
of our hands clasped, breaths shared
away from commitments and bindings
owning the time for anything we dared:
long nights and long mornings
you're breakfast in bed
lazily tangled in affection
your head on my chest while poetry is read
I dreamed we called in--then ran away
made love (then again) to start our day
claimed life together like never before
a king and his queen, forevermore.
062515~6.05a

Searching
blindly in the dark
Feeling for your softness
and the embrace of your heart
Your eyes open like light
giving shape to my world
filling it with beauty
like spring petals uncurled
Murmurs of sweetness
drip from your lips
Pressing mine to your face
lingering...as the time slips
slowly into a sultry sunrise.
062415~7.18a

poetessa diabolica*
Your muse is on fire!*
---
"Oh, how she inspires!
Burning through my pages
as a wildfire rages;
forever quenched, yet never tires."

062315~9.17a

Your image burns
eternal in my mind
Luscious lustful flame
melting through my rhyme
You illuminate my pages
and heat my quill
The passion for my muse
rages hotter, still.

031010~6.21a

To the lovely goddess
who turns my gaze and
captures my heart
for the rest of our days:

I love you, I love you
I'll say it forever
We're a storm of passion
within inclimate weather
I see your eyes
Like I see the sun rise
I wish every dawn
you'd bleed across my sky
Illuminating hope
with the rest of your life
My old world ends
within your light

030510~7.15a

The flowering trees
snowing
in the morning breeze

The moon illuminates
knowing
you are in love with me

My brisk morning walk
breathing
feeling you inside

Before the sun wakes
needing
your touch in my life.

030310~6.29a

My mind finds you
before my eyes find the morning
My lips still plead for your skin
with leftover good-night kisses.
Hands reach out
to cover the sheets, to feel you near....
A morning unconscious
ritual of need
searching for the goddess
who belongs with me.

030210~6.37a
