Spring Nights

I want to flirt with the rain.

Skin
WoodsWanderer Dec 2015
The twitch underneath a layer of pink flesh
long golden hairs mimicking the movement of shape
beneath the surface
the stretch of synapses firing to nervous system, to joint, to muscle
the journey
one
little
movement
causes.
The wrinkled edges of cells folding over
sharp delineated veins that chord her arms
tightly coiled ropes of blood
pumping from her troubled heart to her tired mind
all of these motions apart of this amazing
mind blowing vessel called the human body.
The muscles
which cry and scream (either in protest or exultation she can never tell)
as the notes flow from shaken speakers to dancers feet
the long low run through grasses too yellow to be pillaged
past the man with the faded hat and kitten grin
to the bed she lay him in.
the motion of fingers as they slide over rough-hewn skin
Skin that caresses back and Lips.
Lips sliding with trembled precision to sweet
forgotten spots on this amazing vessel
of blood, bone, heat.
The rumble of senses opening
moistening
lips still searching, taking, demanding
of him.
The jagged whispered phrases that were lost to rumpled sheets
and the cold, distant starry sky.
This skin, which aches for him is but a vessel of love
to release and open
Engulf the sensual sensations of lust
that mirrors the silky robe of darkness that wraps their bodies.
Beautiful Bodies.
Skin, blood, bones, heat.
To reveal something sacred
to the both of them.

Rush
WoodsWanderer Oct 2016
I have lost
Breath
In moments pushed too fast
Too far
The rush caught me in its arms
And In it I have lost
Breath

Aspens tall remind me
of water deep
And coaxing in times when
I could walk strong
with grounded roots spreading
From
My soles into rich deep earth
Remind me
What it is to be one
With this beautiful
Land
Remind me how to
Breathe

Words form in the dark
Her face
A white smudge
Her lips
A red promise
I'm drawn
Though crimson rains down
drops trembling at the ends of her hair
dripping down her curved shoulders as
she pulls the ribbon free and shivers in the moonlight
A hushed smile tempts her mouth
as her eyes flick up to capture mine
The stained ribbon twisted through her fingers
she beckons me closer.
Leaning in so her head rests just below my chin
Hair as dark as the crows feathers
Tickles my lips.
I laugh.
She blindfolds my eyes
paints my mouth
then between a count of twelve
she is gone.

You are delicious
A feisty bite of life
with a variety of sweet and spice
And a soul that dances through this chaotic life with hypnotizing abandon.
You are soft
Yielding as a kitten before it's learnt to use it's claws
But not for long
A fiery zest runs under
Your smooth complexion
Pushing and questioning authoritative boundaries
Grounded, you seek the meaning to spirit
The ache in your feet as they try to dance out the beat
In a rhythm mysterious and timeless.
The searching in your veins
That pulled you to faraway places in an effort to find that voice
That was calling.
But this caller is ethereal
Some would say - not real.
You and I both feel
This energy winding through us
Connecting our souls
To moss covered knolls and oceans that stretch for miles.
This energy shoots to the sky
Which is only a threshold to the universe
Where spirit dances freely
Unchained from human beliefs and limits.
You have touched the infinite, my love.
That sparkling desire
To connect and surrender
Is so strong, it's almost
Painful.
If only we are mindful
We can release ourselves to the sublime divine and swim in the unfathomable
With human relationship our trampoline to a higher
Empowerment.
poem one, week one.

Awakening
WoodsWanderer Oct 2019
I am infinite
Powerful, commanding soul movement
Floods my system
Limbs lightened
My senses, reborn.
Look at this beauty
I have created
Coals of strength
Burn hot in my heart
Giving courage to my spirit
Giving voice to my soul
This strength and power are mine
I am worthy
I am a goddess
I know what I want, what I need.
I can communicate
Touch
My deepest feelings
Fear, running cold and quick like an adder
Anger, burning hot and furious
an under skin fire
Power
Yielding, bending and holding my infinite being
I am power
I am change
I am love
I am healing
I.
Am.
Infinite.

Perspective
WoodsWanderer Oct 18
Would I be forgiven,  
if I lay with my cheek
pressed flat against the *****
of the grass,  
sparkling
with last nights rain that came
in startling sheets,  
as heavy
as the shame, wrapped
around my heart in threads  
woven
out of calculated missteps,

Would I awaken  
as fresh and fragrant
as their small green bodies
bodies that bend softly
under the kiss gifted  
by the morning mist,  
shivering
under frosted silver cloaks  
in anticipation
of the suns awakening.

Tell me, would I be forgiven?
