I lay here in the dim morning light,
Watching your ******* rise and fall.
In the air,
A tangled aroma of love.
As I run my fingers through your hair
You smile in your sleep.
My senses seek you out,
With my eyes I see your beauty.
With my heart I see your love.
A treasure to shape our life with.
My soul reaches out and sees its match;
Love radiating like a phosphorescent diatom
In the deep dark ocean depths.
I kiss your ear,
Slowly put my arm around you,
I cup a breast.
Snuggle up to you like a spoon
Enclosed in a silver service chest.
I soon fall back to sleep
Dreaming of what can be.

My Arms

My arms, they long to hold you
And to hug you close
My fingers to touch you
And to be run through your hair
My lips long to whisper in your ear
And to kiss your neck
My words to arouse you
And to make your heart beat
My breath to touch your *******
And feel your body react
I need to love you
And feel your love for me
These are but a few of my passions
And just the beginning of my love for you

I Think I Have A Problem

I think I have a problem.
( I know it’s hard to believe )
I think I have a problem
( I’m not trying to deceive )
Logic is the tool I use
( I work it out in my head )
Logic, truth and not a ruse
( Thru the day and in my bed )
My heart however, is in such a state
( Weepy, gushy, full of *** and vee )
My heart disrupts my logic rate
( My head wonders what may be )
It happens to me night or day
( My heart powers the words I need )
My mouth voices what my heart must say
( Disrupted logic, it will not heed )
At times it seems I blurt things out
( And blurt them I sure did )
Taking time to think, is down the spout
( I’ll say things I should have hid )
Please remember why I’m the way I am
( I know it’s hard to see )
For my heart, it is the problem
( I’ll warn my head of what may be )

Sorry to be 'gone' for so long. First my laptop fan died and 'then' my hard drive started to fail. Talk about a scramble to save things. My poetry thank all the Muses is copied over on 3 other hard drives and 2 memory cards so that fear of loss wasn't there. Now to start catching up on what you have done while I was out of it ;-)

Cape Blomidon

I sit and look over the Basin of Minas
Still waters reflect as fine as an optical mirror
The Cape juts out as the prow of some ancient ship
Eternally pushing its way through the long, slow tides
Acting as a wall separating Fundy from the Valley
It stands silhouetted against dark clouds that may hold rain
A white blanket of fog wraps itself slowly over the Cape
Standing out as bright as clean, white cotton
Molding itself over the land
As a blanket molds itself over a reclining person
Emotions are relaxed by the sight
Calm enters the soul with this view
Eternal beauty for all to see
Overlooked by the many
A sense of belonging envelopes me
Just as the fog envelopes the Cape.

Dan Gray

We have the highest tides in the world here which brings fog as the Bay of Fundy is deep and cold and the summers here can be quite warm. When you live someplace long enough some sites become normal and you don't see them, the site of a wall of fog rolling of the Cape after 24 years still is a beautiful sight to me.

Winds

I spread my arms and hands to the winds.
Willing that their touch travels with them.
Whirl into the sky
Follow the contours of land
Flowing down hills
As water flows.
Twisting.
Turning.
Taking the trail of my heart
Across this land and country.
Outrace my feelings,
Past town and village,
Down roads and rivers,
Be directed to one who is lonely
Empty and in pain.
Wrap your warm winds around her
As I would wrap my arms.
Hold her till she sighs
As I would hold her.
Let go reluctantly
As I would let go of her.
As when I’m by her side
Blow gently into her ear.
Lightly caress her neck
As my hand would caress her.
Pass on my message of love.
That I want to hold her,
Under the stars,
Until the end of time.

Parents

The shock arrives one day.
A parent is gone.
After a time,
You will find, for no reason
Emotions will overflow
No rhyme, no reason.
It may be a smell,
It may be a sound,
It may be someone on the street.
Memories carried in heart and soul
Trigger tears.
For a time you will cry,
From deep within.
Slowly they will moderate.
Special days, a picture
Some things will always bring tears.
This is natures way.
Always remember,
They are a part of you.
If you are still and listen deep
They are there.
Memories help you along.
You are the total collection
Of the genes of those from before.
As long as you remember,
They are never gone.

Going To Sleep

So lay back, get ready
Soon close your eyes.
Here comes a poem,
But, that’s no surprise.
Plump up your pillow
For your head soon to rest.
Wiggle your body
Till it seems at its best.
No pressures to feel,
A time to relax.
Any problems today,
Just give them the axe.
Think of those things
That bring you some joy.
Comfortable ones
Maybe of me,
With who you do toy.
Continue to feel
That on coming sleep.
Feeling so good
From your head to your feet.
I’ll leave you to dream.
Of things that you love.
Those that are close
With dreams from above.
