I know your heart
"like the back of my hand"
You have become
the biggest part of my plans
When I feel weak,
will you understand?
"Are you strong enough to be my man?"
These days are dark
but you're my light
You help me through
and set things right
And sometimes
I feel too weak to stand
Am I strong enough
to hold your hand?
But then I remember
who we are
You're the companion moon
to my every star
And we stay connected
Near or far
I am with you
Because of who you are

Your eyes speak to mine
as does your beautiful mind
No one else could ever know
the depth of our dreams
Or the passionate means
by which they were designed
Our future lies ahead
But for now,
we live in precious moments
Treasures like a child might find
Held safe but no longer secret
No longer captive
Because our love is not blind
This present tense feeling
All butterflies and kisses so kind
Has been a long time coming
Our connection remains
a fascinating mystery
Created by a history
that we will never leave behind

Heaven at the tip of your tongue
Hips writhing before you've even begun
Honey dripping off your chin
Lips whispering tales of sin
Wile away the evening hours
Inhaling and tasting her exotic flower
Fill her with your sensual fingers
*******, like half moons, rise
as your touch lingers
Exploring her body constellation
Being inside is your destination
Watch her face as she quietly begs
Force her and tell her to spread her legs
You may never know her ecstasy
But she'll steal the stars to be your fantasy

I.
There are places in you
I love most to explore
Not your body but a journey
Into so much more
Your mind, winding like a labyrinth
Your heart, warm like your embrace
Your eyes, deep green like absinthe
and the beautiful way your love shows on your face

II.
The exquisite feeling
The perfect way we fit
There is no way
to ever replace it
The taste of you lingering on my lips
The wanton lust from deep inside
The way you move between my hips
The way you make it impossible for me to hide

I listened to the gentle throbbing
of your heart beneath my head
As we settled into the afterglow
in the warmth of your bed
As we lie there together, just breathing
I thought to myself
how I had less of a need
for anything else
I doesn't take lots of money
to make things okay
It just takes communication
to keep my worried heart at bay
And it doesn't take diamonds
to prove ones devotion
Our love has kept us together
Despite miles or mountains or oceans
It doesn't take words
spilled from unsure mouths
Or a luxurious life
Or a big, fancy house
It will only take time
because we deserve and need it so
For my healing and for security
To honor our love and let it grow
Time to create memories
that we will look back on and sigh
Time to experience and enjoy each other
and more time to laugh until we cry

I.
Parting is such sweet sorrow
Seems an eternity until tomorrow
Just once I would wish to wake
With total absence of this ache
Time feels like a cruel master
More of it with you is what I am after
My heartbeat slows and is ill at ease
Without love's protection from disease

II.
Give me your last breath
So that nothing goes to waste
Give me your entire self
So that I may know no one else
Give me your last kiss
So that I may know its taste
Give me your soul
So that mine can become whole

Sweet and all-consuming
The spell you have cast is looming
Hovering like a halo
over my head
Making me wish
I was back in your bed
The scent of your skin
begins to fade
And the ache between my thighs
where your mouth last laid
Begins to build upon itself
Only you can resolve it
There is no one else
My wanton lust
and my desire for pain
Will not be satisfied
Until I feel you again
Please hear me, my Love
As I beckon to you
I'm holding my breath
Until I turn blue

My Love lies restless
Fevered in his bed
His essence removed
Replaced with illness instead
As I rested beside him
So reluctant to part
The warmth of his face
Stilled my beating heart
Such longing and devotion
His words caress my mind
I'll wish upon the stars tonight
That he will wake
and feel just fine

I cannot help but channel you when we are apart, as this Love has become my very energy
I bide my time and visualize the movements we make, the way our bodies embrace and entwine with such fluidity
I cannot imagine a break in our ever growing bonds, our sameness, our connection, our continuity
I see you now in moments captured, in tiny time capsules, held in precious hands like fragile shells of destiny
I long for every moment in which we plan and build and give ourselves over to our bliss, our own Heaven
Our Eternity

When you feel like crumbling
Let me help you put the pieces into place
Just remember I'm also stumbling
But it's all better when I see your face
When I'm hurting and cannot speak
You draw me out and talk me down
And when you get to feeling weak
I'll remind you of your strength and straighten your crown
Your passion lies within this tattered heart
My only hope is that we continue to fall
I have belonged to you from the very start
My forever is yours and I'll die with you after it all

Distance and longing
Tempered by a sense of belonging
We express such affection
Tempered by love and connection
Dreams like these come but once in a lifetime, if ever
Penned forever
Black paper and inked in silver, line by line
Each precious rhyme
Showing our feverish devotion to one another
As we share millions of kisses and caresses
And count the moments
on the delicate fingertips
of the hands of time

It was a dark and stormy night
Oceans of tears I didn't want you to taste
My face wet with confusion and fright
Waking you from your slumber in haste
I kept thinking that his ship was sailing
While I'm here simply sinking
As the life I built drifted away
Was I letting myself drown
Was I letting you down?
But the truth is that my saving grace
Is your loving touch and your beautiful face
We just need to be alone
Someplace safe where we can be at home
You've set us upon a course
That leaves little room for remorse
I just need to float away with you
A little boat to spend the days with you
To seek the bliss we are sure to find
Once I can rest my troubled mind

The moon is breathtaking
Silent and bright
A silver glow
Against the black canvas of night
Still and calm
Full of positive light
And at the same time
A different moon collides
Thrashing and angry
Tearing at my insides
Blood ritual of womanhood
A kind of pain I cannot abide
Retrograde
A lunar eclipse
Nowhere near as meaningful
as standing in the moonlight
Your hands on my wide hips
Whispers
Warm and reassuring
And a kiss from your lips

Your love eclipses everything.

This love I feel for you
Designed by what we do
How deeply we believe
The way we give and receive
Speaking in romantic phrases
Passionate tongues in intimate places
Touched by things from memories past
Knowing we were made to last
And as we devour another year
All I can think of is
"I wish you were here."

Awake for hours
Before morning breaks
My body never settled
And my heart still aches
It feels like days
Since I kissed your lips
Even though it was just hours
I always feel like this
So I lie here waiting
In the dark
Wishing my head was resting
On your precious heart
Forever grateful
For the time we share
It's hard to not want
And to not always be there
But there's no need
For your concern
I only ache
Because I yearn
For the love of you
And your sensual touch
It's just been one of those nights
When I missed you too much
I'm thankful for you
And the love you give
For our future ahead
And the life we will live

Conscious and unconscious
Dreamily disjointed
Bedtime storytelling
Insomnia takes me
for another walk in the park
Sleepless ramblings in the dark
Lonely for company
She collects me
My slumber-starved mind summons
He wakes and I wait
Feeling him close, as he lives within
Sensing his presence
I can almost see the glow
of his bedroom light
Something stirring in the distant night
My heart beats faster
as my Lover writes

Your absence leaves me vulnerable
Missing you until the ache becomes palpable
My heart and my mind feel left behind
Because my need for you is a constant struggle
Distance is something we've changed
As our lives have become rearranged
When you're so very close
My heart sighs in repose
But when you're away it all feels so strange

**** them all
The doubts
The nightmares
Make them go away
To give way
For hopes
Dreams
Sensual scenes of play
My love
You are the breath of me
Living inside
Deep in the breast of me
Forever my destiny
Shudder to think
One could ever destroy
Something so beautiful
Built on words
On chance
And now we passionately dance
Consumed by one another
What was never meant to last
Is all in the past

Heaven called
Said they were missing you
Said they needed their angel back
Even if he's been dressed in black
But what if I couldn't let go?
What if your love was what made me glow?
How could I resist
The sweetness of your kiss
Knowing now what I've come to know
I could never give that up
Heaven said
They needed more of you than you were willing to give
Said you told them I was your reason to live
Now it's gone
Too late to turn back
Heaven's angel fell into
The arms of a woman he calls "goddess"
A woman who dressed him in black

It was love that you tasted
On the tip of your tongue
Your desire is not wasted
Our oldest bonds are still young
My belonging to you
Is so much more than words
Nothing has ever felt so true
Yours may as well be
The only voice
My heart has ever heard...

A hazy early morning clears
Slowly opening weary eyes
Realizing you're not here
Counting the seconds
as they drag by
And as I fell to sleep
I imagined you were there
With me
I recalled the time
Before you were really mine
When all we had
Was a melting phone line
And it dawned on me
How amazing life can be
While I cherish this single, silent tear
I still wish you were here

The darkest eyes and darker hours
Kisses from your lips devoured
You grant me the glow from your crimson light
and name me your Goddess every night
I find myself dreaming and drowning in you
pillows still warm from your body and blankets scented by two
The feeling of your arms and sweet affection
In this room,
Surrounded by you in every direction
This unmade bed where we share our desires
Where our passion burns and our love aspires
Dimmed lights and candles because my lover remembers,
My hair across your pillow,
where my dreams are smoldering embers
This is no longer a foreign place
Your bed feels like home in a different space
Delicate breathing, ambient songs
Your bed is a haven where I feel I belong

Intensity
The feeling you give me
When your eyes penetrate my layers
Suspended and upside-down like my world
Peeling away my defenses
Making me feel like a little girl
You scan the canvas of my every flaw
Inhibitions torn open and ****** raw
Like a pair of ******* taken off with your teeth
An incredible tease and eventual relief
As you move in for your sensual ****
My body responds to each and every thrill
Intensity
Beyond belief
