Come with me...
     Moving away from the guarded cell blocks of past disappointments, mourned losses, and forgotten hope

     Diving our souls into the deepest depths of being where there's no past or future, only present, only presence, only us

     Dancing high above the world, let me lay you down upon a cloud and merge our energies into one unbreakable bond

    Watching the sunset, snuggled tightly within the curve of a crescent moon, I will fill a basket of hand picked stars for you and pledge my everlasting Love

I don't know that I believe in fate
Or angelic intervention
Or providence
Yet you are in my life
Which is a miracle that grows
With the passing of each day

Loving you is all I want
Pressing your jaw with shaky softness
The way it collides with my skin
Your hands, they seek the end

Breathing across my back
Lovely your words, finding their way to my lips
Your tongue against mine
Curving your shoulder, barely move

Your fingertips brushing along my waist
Like waves washing over me
Feeling your teeth soft against my neck
Tonight we’re the sea, a rocky rhythm

Arching my back to meet your moves
My bare skin singing for your warmth
And you savor my thighs
Tender are your hips

Gripping cold sheets
Your breath hot against my neck
Skipping a beat
You give in.

Roaming
I find your face
Lay with me for awhile
Listen to my heart beat.


Tell me when you’re ready
Ready to leave.

I like the way your last night skin
Burns the iciness,
When the first reddish ray of sun
Penetrates each pore of your bare back.
And every time I touch
The mocha colour of your skin,
Fragrance of caffeine
Seeps in through my nerves
To make me intoxicated.
Now, there is no doubt left, that
My morning is going be good.

Desire blows in like a warm southern breeze
Waves submerge us into seducing seas
Fill me up with your words
Now paint them on my skin
with your tongue
Teasing me while you glide and savor
Tasting my love of the sweetest of flavor
Touch me with your eyes
Wrap me up with your smile
Crave me with your fingers
Call me your symphony
Make my nerve endings sing
Each bite tinged with pleasurable stings
Soft sighs
Turn into soft cries
Passion heat calling out your name
Passion only will douse the flame
With no fear or no regret
A moment of passion we will never forget

"thank you, my heart:
time after time
you pluck me, separate even in sleep,
out of the whole.”*

were I to perform
an autopsy of that morning
no verdict would be self-sufficient:
Love
bursting like a sudden dancefall
in my veins
your voice imparts shivering
to my plugged shadow
and the day goes offline
I offer my skin as a battlefield
for whispers
I wouldn’t compromise with
birds on wire
or diagnose my boundaries
when time is turned into gold dust
among your empty shirts
lodging the imploded silence
and your shaved smile
like a hurricane lamp

the word I hate most is
Love
it says nothing
nothing at all
about you
the hidden dimension
in my flesh
the shape of us
without mercy
