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

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

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

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."

There are ways in which the world
can turn things into distant memories
Broken hearts
Dreams torn apart
Worn out pages from weary stories
But our connection continues to deepen
even as the world outside tries to seep in
We don't just go through the paces
Instead we visit all new places
Bathed in this Love
in this light
even on the darkest, coldest night
I stay warm in your arms
In your embrace
and wait for the next moment
when my eyes will adore your face

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 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

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

Waking with a careful start
Mindful of your anxious heart
You speak of things I also feel
I share in your desire
for the dreams to be real
So many thoughts
while confined to my bed
A love never lost
to the pain in my head
So I wake and I rise
Defiant against the pain
Wanting only to feel
Your arms around me again

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

You've written stories with your blood on the walls
So many scars reveal how far you'd fall
And now it's different, it's like heaven instead
Descending deeper into love and in bed

We say we want to die together
To be as one forever and ever
I realize this dream is going to come true
Just **** me first before I **** you

I looked down and saw my blood on your hands
And in that moment I could understand
You'd have me naked and writhing under your touch
I won't protest because I love you too much

Your scars are like reminders of pain and pride
And mine is a reason for me to want to hide
But you don't let me cover what you think I should show
The less I wear the more you want me to know

Burn it into me that I belong to you
Remind me, always, that we'll never be through
But let's play games where I can try to run
So you can hold me down and *******

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

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

The night ahead lays open like a rose
I can already feel the absence of my ecstatic throes
Crushed and forgotten like discarded clothes
Without you, my heart waits in restless repose
My far away eyes trained on distant shadows
Anticipating the warmth of our many tomorrows
How effortless the effort is to be so close
To know you in a way that no one else knows

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

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

All the time I've spent with you
Still fascinated by our connection
Love has never felt so true
It feels like romantic resurrection
The lights go down each evening
And my heart seeks her other half
Aching for the next kiss from your lips
Waiting patiently for the night to pass
I love you so, my precious man
An ecstatic future lit by moonbeams
Just be with me and hold my hand
And I'll see you tonight in my dreams

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

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

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
