The smell of passion
rolls off him in waves
gently covering her pillows
a morning scent she craves
like coffee on Sunday morning
may be not necessity
an aroma floating bold
comfort brewing in immensity
arousal of the senses
stimulation of the mind
delectable and refreshing
a pleasure so refined

It takes all the strength I have
standing, my back
barricading the door
doing all I can
to hold it shut
the weight of the words
on the other side
tied neck and neck
with personal force
perseverance
a clear and equal match
to the muscles of courage

Heel to toe, a step forward
toe to heel, a step back
twisted, frayed, pulling baggage
a rope requires slack
the binding snaps
as the cold wind does blow
a chilling reminder
we must heal to tow

The basics of trying
a simple attempt
to lighten a burden
deal with what life has sent
may it be lifting a heavy load
in the calm of a storm
or putting out metaphorical fires
in the life you are born
to try is a gift
one gives to the world
the basis of knowledge
to experience what is hurled

They say, "dance to the beat of your own drum",
but I'd rather dance
to the rhythm of your heart
my drum can only thud so long
as the steady beat of you
presses on

The act of a juggler
goes 3 at a time
this time it's hearts
his, hers, and mine
a moment of weakness
distraction ensues
tiny cracks appear
as one falls to his shoes
the next time by chance
which one will fall?
it's certain with time
there will be breaks in them all
Samantha Lee Mar 2017
Quick thoughts
the stem of worry
planted in
uncertain soil
leaves of growth
in no hurry
sprouting vines
start to coil
as buds blossom
a certain sweat
settlement hosed
watered roots wet
sunshine dances
photosynthesis fuels
where butterflies
are imposed
