With the most beautiful sincere brown eyes that reveal more than they realise.
Connection.
Touching. Underneath clothes...
Warm oil drips on skin, glistening Candlelight, delicate, sensual...
Hands, bodies. Lips, skin...
It was all a dream

You passed me at the station
We caught each other’s eye
Hugged and said hi

I was returning and you were heading home
There was damp in the air, autumn well and truly here

I asked how it went, I was leaving you a note
We walked up the street where darkness glares at street lamps as they shimmer on the ground

You told me of bad news as tears interrupted your words

I held you tight and pecked your cheek
Against a fence under the cover of an oak tree
It felt so right

You held me as your lips met mine
Delicate almost slow motion
Lips parted, reunited


You kissed a deeper kiss
Moving to a floor of green
Holding you as lips connect
In unison we lowered to the grass

Kisses came with want  
I pulled you in and felt your skin
Under your clothes
Rubbing my hands over your back

You barged right in with not a care in the world
Of how deeply I'd fall and hit the ground
I knew I'd fell, for I hurt inside
But I could still be falling, there's no end in sight
Like Alice in a wonderland nothing seems quite right
Still I drink your potion readily and prepare to hold on tight
I catch you in my dream hoping you'll stay the entire night
My subconscious has a knowing, I'll be alone by morning light
Every time I get back up and dust myself down
You just steamroll right back through me, knocking me out
My palms left sweaty my mouth left dry
As I wonder if my feelings can lie
For here things aren't what they always appear
The pain of unknowing is my only fear
So, for now, your seas have calmed
And your storm has settled down
Left me cold and windswept
With droplets on my brow
I'll do what I must to do for now
For when night time falls again
I'll be back in my beautiful nightmare
Where you think of me now and then

I needed to rest my kaleidoscope mind
Stop still, realign thoughts entwined
The sun is well set, the sky a lovely blue hue
Daylight has gently retired, generously awaiting night time to turn up for his shift
Street lamps distort the natural flow of time
Birds are singing a beautiful high pitched rhyme
Looking out of the window it could be dusk or dawn
Are the birds confused and singing for a new day
Or singing sweet lullabies
Enticing the silver moon out to play

Sharp was the blade
That sliced down my chest
Receptors severed
I look down at my open wound
This bloodied scene
Tugs and tears and numbness
I witness
Beats deaden
My heart in his hands
Dying
A vow to die
In love

I’m remembering...

The movements of your mouth
The energy pouring from your body to mine
Your breath like the smoke fountain flows through me
Connection is freedom
You made love to my soul

As quickly as I sinned
Grey moved in

Heavy minutes tense with pressure
Bright white blanket skies

Plump, mirrored drops started decent
Towards darker grey endings

Before beginnings begin
And new stories end

Electric shot through his body
Sparks fired off her heart
His wired veins pulsated
As the rush of heat zapped her soul
And adrenaline seized their minds
Electrons surged wild  
The curse of heightened senses
Left him vulnerable to pain
Her energy broke his circuit
When she removed her fuse
And walked away

Poetry doesn’t speak of monotony
Routine unplanned forever
Life and love and risks of lust
Down secret, leafy walkways
Hypocrisy regularly meets contradiction
So I dance on the knife edge of life
I toss fairytale endings in the street bin
At the end
Of simple times
Picking blackberries
I stopped searching for the moral in the fable
Desire will break rocks to get what it wants
The sun won’t stop until it explodes
Cold steel blade takes away my breath
Momentary rush of untimely death
I feel alive

I've decided to stop reading the news
It's full of contradiction and misinterpreted views,
Bending of truths like a novelists muse
Inciting inspiration, stimulation, radicalisation but, never the truth of the situation
Just a public announcement of the wrong account, a miscommunication or fake revelation
Is it an attempt at entertainment?
Lacking empathy, a cold report with no sympathy
Of death, disaster and misery
Attacking humanity
As they relish at the world flying in to abyss
I can't be alone wishing we would all hug and kiss
So, instead I've turned to poetry, where theres no need to encourage, provoke or lie
For words of poem can reach the sky, you cant deny
My interpretation is all I need to see
Where thoughts can wander, minds can ponder
I never need to wonder, if what's written is fact or fiction
As a poet spilling his heart on paper, writing fast, creating friction
He goes to war with every etching
Of love and emotion of pain of gain
It's truer than the mirror in which you see your face
It reads like silk and flows like lace
Spilling over with generosity, leaving a genuine taste
Whether of love or hate, faith or sin
It's come from within where only truth can win

The butterfly flutters,
Her wings,
She dances loud in my stomach,
The mere thought of you sets her a flutter

The stars,
They twinkle,  
Like finely cut diamonds absorbing all light,
And reflecting in your eyes

Your Smile,
So forever,
That when I observe,
Silently, I say to myself,
"oh my god"
That smile heats my entire body

A body,
So moorish,
In lust,
I bite my lip as I envision,
My palms against your skin,
Caressing the softness and the rough

You, with your precious eyes
More wonderful than diamonds
I prefer to compare them to a silky stone
That’s travelled far for its character
One that catches your eye as you walk along the beach with millions more
But this one, this one is special
This isn’t *** luck that I’m crazy in love
With eyes that reduce me to silence
Shyness makes me look away
But one day, one day I’ll be laying on your chest
Looking up through my eyelashes
Studying your face
Working out the journey to this beautiful place
Fingers through your hair, your lips I trace
Your eyes tell me stories

I inhale, exhale on the breeze as the ocean rolls in and over my feet
I stand looking out to a world of black with dragon fire in its belly
You cling to my heart, climb my ribs and kiss me
I’m drowning on repeat in a sea of flashbacks and fantasies
I can’t touch the bottom

Intoxicated smiles
Found on the sofa at the back
Intimacy reacts
I can still taste your kisses

****, you give me a heady rush
I’m not sure where it starts but it shoots through my body like a trapped, crazed dart with a flame through its heart
It fires to my chest releasing sparks
That rush down my arms
My fingers and bones tingle
What is this power? This electric current?
Your name?
Travelling light speed through my flesh and veins
My feet my toes
I write this super fast
Hoping that this feeling lasts

Am I foolish
Is this love
Am I impatient
Am I in lust

My heart lies bleeding
For your touch
I run to him
You don’t give me enough

Baby I want you
Darling I crave you
I don’t know where I’m supposed to be
How can I feel so deeply

You check them
Before you check me
I can’t give my body
And feelings for free

I wanted this
I admit
But I didn’t expect
To feel like this

Baby I want you
Darling I crave you
I don’t know where I’m supposed to be
How can I feel so deeply

You’re not mine
I realise
But who would I be
If I didn’t believe

Who would I be

If I didn’t believe

♾

For one night, let's not be coy nor shy
Together we'll sing the sweetest lullaby
For one night, let my dreams come alive
My muse, in you, where fantasies thrive

For one night, give me your mouth, your tongue
Keep me wanting more till morning comes
For one night, I'll give myself to you
By sunrise you'll want me badly too

I don't know what it is or how to find it
Your eyes, your heart make me carelessly free-fall
Your soul igniting my soul, sets me alight in hot flames
There's no warning, no caution, no harness for protection from falling
I enjoy the phantom aches and pains

Can I love with my eyes alone
Can I love what I'll never know

It's simply and effortlessly you,
A complete creation, a package brimming, spilling sweet alluring wine
Drunk are my senses, drunk I'm happy to be
If it's the only way I feel you,
Right next to me

Sometimes friendships have to die
It shouldn't be me always having to try
Unreasonable expectations, creating unnecessary tension
You'd rather see me in debt
Just to attend your lavish four day event
Come on, remember where you started from
Entitlement has a sour face, greed is a lonely place
Fake friends are ten a penny
You surround yourself with plenty
Speak your mind and share you thoughts
But don't expect me not to talk
Wind me up and believe you're lies
Are you that self-centred, someone just died!
It's all hypocrisy while causing more misery and you expect an apology!
I'm sorry I couldn't afford to go
I'm sorry that you're acting so low
I'm sorry I didn't want to be there surrounded by that smoggy fake air
Not that you'd care
I'm sorry someone died so I wouldn't have gone regardless
I'm sorry you can't grasp reality, I'm sorry you're so heartless

Excited for the gifts
This planet kindly gives
The wonders of the world are generously rife
It really is a magical life
If we are wise, we'll open our hearts, eyes and minds

I long to see Japan's elegant cherry blossom land
Geisha girls, eerily still they stand
Cooling faces with fan in hand

Walk for hundreds of miles, along the river Nile
Meeting friendly souls with weathered faces
love as their principle basis

Whiteness the overcrowded Mumbai station
Then rush to see a tea plantation
Where on your way your heart longs to stay
Here, forever you could lay
There's a calling from the hills, the wildlife thrills
But why stay still
There's plenty more to feel

The vast African plains a plenty
Where it may appear, but it's far from empty
This is the magnificent Serengeti
Here I'm in my element
Let me enjoy admiring the elephant
A powerful earth rumbling migration
Sees a whole new destination

Tysfjord with its breathtaking views
Norway is an artists muse
A landscape so still and stunning
To be offered more is a second coming
When night arrives with it northern lights
You'll be mesmerised by the natural sight
You'll stay up all night long
As morning is blessed by orca's song

Rumi was a wise old soul
His words are timeless
His advice is free
I take his writings literally

"Why stay in prison when the door is so wide open" ~ Rumi

Then... I only see you. I’m in love with the sparkle in your eyes. Every line of your body. Every broken bit. Every enlightened bit. And every bit you share with me

And even if equation exists, there’s no amount of quantifying a love like this
For now,
Whether in pain or bliss
I’ll roll gods dice, our souls will kiss

Profound jazz tones on the rocks
Dragged down gravel pathways
In crystal cut glasses
Harmonised sweet pain-felt blues in orange light
Smoke undulating, seductively dancing on top of piano notes of passion
With his words he brought down two stars
They found contentment in your eyes
And while the rest of the stars and the moon light up the night sky
Your starry eyes light my desire
And there’s nothing I can do about that

Lying here alone  
I feel more alive
More pain
Sadness
More hope
More peace
Than I felt the entire day
Surrounded by people
Spiritually I’m growing
Leaving the ones I love behind
There’s a blessing in that
I whiteness the beauty
And loneliness of truth

When your mind is littered
And the world is falling inside your chest
Stop, take a breath
See the silver birch dance
The blue sky enhanced
By the Sun

Push your roots in to the ground
Without a sound
Harmonic resonance is loud
Feel the beat
of your heart
The pulse of the earth
You’re a child of the universe

There's a fight between my head and heart
My head is yelling get up and start
Frustrated by your idle ways
You can't just stay in bed all day
Seize the day! Don't daydream it all away

I want to, honestly I do
But my hearts so heavy it's because of you
You give me these pains
You paint the images in my brain
That make me want to stay here and think
I'm afraid what I might miss if I blink

But you won't miss a thing, these thoughts aren't even true
If you get up and try, you might find something new
Something that makes you forget the pain
That makes you feel like you again

I'm being stupid I know
I think I'm enjoying feeling so low
I'm not being lazy, although it may seem
It's exhausting running your thoughts on my screen
And I know you're well aware of that
Your making my heart beat fast
Deep down you also want these images to last
If you let go, I could let go to
But it isn't really what you want to do
You say it's all me, but we work as a team
You paint the pictures I bring the steam
Without my fuel your paint would dry
Without your paint I just might die

Hi

I'm kenya83
You don't know me

I'm not great at saying what I see
So I jot it down in poetry

When it's down in black n' white
I can recite it when the moments right

That moment may not come
But my song I would've sung

So I sing it to myself
And keep my dancing in the house

Scared you'll hear my melody
Or catch me dancing funnily

Through fear of looking silly
I may come across as busy

When the truth that does remain
Is that your vision eases pain

When will I learn that my only regret
Will be the moments with you I didn't get

Two months past and you didn't consume my mind
Despite the lust I kept hidden inside
Until once again you hijacked my dream
I wish I knew what it all means
Why is it impossible to read your vibes
You give me an inch but I want miles
Showing keenness has never been my style
But how you press your lips together and smile sends me wild
How the sides grey and the front strands stray
How your eyes say more than you intend them to say
Or maybe my thoughts leading me astray
Surely you're aware of your teasing way

I admire those lips, arched like Cupid's bow,
delicate pink like roses grow
Smooth delicate petals light but robust, yearning for the warmth of my touch

I adore your skins brown-golden hue, smooth as caramel,
exotic yet homely somehow
As infused morning tea with its gentle scents,
A regular ritual with a power intense
a comforting blend from a faraway friend

A washed up shell basking on the sea-shore,
you're beautifully unique, that's for sure,
for I've never felt this way before
Eyes alive, glistening bright,
share tales more eloquently than your mouth might
Two brilliant diamonds say more than words know,
intricate facets reflect
What only unassuming beauty shows

Floppy ebony hair, declares a youth untamed,
but the grey wispy edges proves there's been change

Your acorn eyes
Look at me
Brown, earthly

My heart thuds
As all the worlds clocks
Take their last strike

Time ceases

I feel bright,
I see light,
Lifted burden,
Self inflicted to uplifted,
One simple move gave me a whole new
Energy,
A focus on the here and now,
The sky, the ground!
I feel free, unshackled and me!
What a relief!
I’ve been so blind not to see,
I put myself inside a prisoned mind,
I’m looking at the sky,
The sun the clouds,
I laugh out loud,
As I finally see,
The strength in me

A tiny atom of the infinite
A path of chance or universal intention
How could change effect if the draw was luck
How could this ultimate connectedness come to be
There’s so much beauty in the energy
Dark tides worship pulls of silver moon
Female energy dances till dawn
We are children of the Earth
Granted a minuscule taste of life
In finite space
In finite time
