spent

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:39:49 -0700

Exhausted,

I lay in bed,

Breeze, shades open now,

Light left in from a waning moon.

I watched your eyes as I felt,

You run your finger,

The length of my naked body,

Navigating and studying,

Every muscle and ridge of skin.

Never have I been read,

So complete, from cover to cover.

Never have I been so consumed.

Pulling off the last corner,

Of the sheet from your bed,

You exposed all of me,

Head to toe, skin.

You told me

I was your,

King.

BREATHE

just breathe,

me into your soul,

where only your dreams,

and thoughts that you stole,

are protected from the eyes.

that are making you whole.

just breathe.

just breathe,

me into another day,

tomorrows path through,

meadows where we lay,

kiss me, hold me near,

listen to what i say,

just breathe.

Drowning in your beauty

Wind chimes I miss most,

In these dream filled waters.

Currents bring nothing near,

The sweet scent of her skin,

Nor her precious breath spoken.

a study of lines

when i was a child, sitting in the back seat of that wood-paneled oldsmobile vista cruiser, i used love to look down the rows of the strawberry fields as my dad zoomed by. that split-second flash of each row was like a living flip book that i couldn’t get enough of…hell, who am i kidding, i still love it!

“

You skate, dipping your wing tips in my waters.
I start the chase, rising and curling,
Wrapping my arms attempting to embrace.

I am the sea, she gave me her eyes.
You are the air, she gave you her wings.

mistral resonation

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:29:22 -0700

Nature speaks to me,

Through a voice so sweet,

Like that of a songbird,

Calling for a mate.

Her breath resonates,

The passing needles,

Of a conifer forest.

A whispered lilt.

Intoxicating my soul,

With every gust.

Delivering knowledge,

And secrets to ponder.

I dreamt under your shade,

Of long valleys and lush glens,

Granite temples guarding great rivers.

And like a thrasher calling a mate,

The wind across your needles,

Sung a soft lullaby from heaven’s gate.

Oh! California, land of dreams,

Where the sun pauses to set,

For one last look over his shoulder,

Slipping now, drowning into the blue Pacific.

Intoxicated, on your vast beauty.

Oh! California…

lines crossed

you chased me into the woods

crossing the guarded line

into my calm, into my haven

i’ve now blended my skin

into the cool green backdrop

of giant sequoias, hidden

this time i’ll stay

and never walk out

into a world of fear

UNDERWATER LOVE

Swimming, love drunk,

In the sea of your soul.

Of deepest blue waters,

Where light strains to enter.

Only I know your love,

And I only allow you feel mine.

Patience my love, the fruit awaits,

Like nourishment for your soul.

Come to me, bring the underworld pearls.

Bring them in your open hand.
