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.

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

My mind sways this morning
like the tops of tall trees
My fingers across your skin
as the breeze caresses through the leaves
Each one touching and bending
to connect with another
A sweet good-morning
to awaken my lover

061615~6.57a

My sweet love
captured by a bug
oh, that I could chase it away,
bringing the light back to your day.
I'll give you kisses,
though I may catch it, too.
You have all my well-wishes
to help get you through.
I'll grab the bunny veg
(and some soup for you)
Just tell me, my love...
I'll do whatever I can do
to bring back your happiness
within that sweet Summertime Sadness.

061715~7.23a

Still riddled with holes
straight through my soul
An empty longing
A hollow belonging
I miss it all
(except the ****)
I yearn for an escape
yet, I can't stay lit
I'm so lonely
I'm scared to form a bond
Grasping so firmly
to something so insubstantial
is nothing but a trainwreck.
