fallow winter does not bring
peace to the restless soul
finger-licked, waiting
on subtle winds shifting
for the tropical taste
of exotic droplets of rain
a salt-stained remembrance
in this time of dreaming

red-light ladies hatch
in raftered minds
a mass awakening
beneath hardened shell
freedom awaits wings
a collective opening
an essential
transformation

Falling... and wondering.

Falling... and pondering.

Falling... and recollecting.

Falling... and memorizing.

Falling... and regretting.

Falling...... and fearing.

Falling..................

And then - awakening.
An excerpt from a story I wrote.
Nicholas Slater Jan 2017
Moonlit skies at dawn
Stars slowly fading
Orange sun climbing
Birds beautiful song
My baby awakening
Body sturring Eyes opening
Her sparkle shining
Soft skin glistening
Lips softly moaning
Gentle kiss touching
Hands delicately moving
Fingers soothing touch
Passionate love making
With her at dawn
Nicholas Slater Jan 2017
If I were next to you
this dawn awakening
I would kiss you
hold you
cuddle you
gently lay my hand on your tummy
your beautiful body held tight
and whisper gently
that I love you
with all my heart

Before,
I knew how to speak in Spanish
Then, before I knew it,
I almost forgot

Before,
I knew how to give you my love
Then, before I knew it,
That knowledge was lost

Before,
I knew how to laugh at the jokes
Then, before I knew it,
The joke was on me

[2019 edit:
Before,
I knew what the world was about
Then, before I knew it,
It wasn't so easy]
(Spur of the moment)

i woke to darkness,
alarmed by a starlet.

charmed by her starkness,
we embarked on our parlous
journey.

but have you learned we
marked our awakening

by taking the chance to dance
with a groundbreaking
circumstance?

When I look at you i see the day
A morning where a few of my life will be
Slowly it will be dark as your promises
I will see the dawning in your eyes
The threshold of hope above your chin
The lies within your illuminating path
Guiding me in a sea of anything
Random clouds will pour beneath you
For the ray of you aren't perfect
You are still forever shining
But living under you is blinding
How hot you could be yet in a cold way
So good as necessities
Burns in a million sunburns i felt agony
Why am i awake when i see you?
Why do i sleep my life away when you're not around?
It got me twisted
You are someone i love to have
But i need to accept that some point
Too much of everything can be bad
That the world is spinning
Some things are going to be missing
And when i look at the sky at night
I shall remember how the day used to be
Back then
Every time when I look at you
Marcus Belcher Jan 2017
You could never tear me asunder
I feel like the 10th Wonder
I am the Lightning
And the Thunder
Prepare for a hot summer
It feels like it

Without beginning or end,
It unfolds as a rose;
Like the Generating Heart;
With Movement and repose.

Love
C o m e s t
Into my heart
Transforming
Water into Thy
