1.
ticking moments of frustration gnaw at the translucent gates of shimmering harmony
2.
Questioning silence paralyzes me
Childish patience and insecurity reign
With your absence came lonesome sighs
An unlived life is the greatest sin
So live I shall:
Feel the prick of each thorn
Breathe in the piercing shadows of every sunset
The painful allure of one cannot exist without the thrilling enchantment of the other
Unwavering poise, inconsistent simplicity
Return and restore me to bliss
Your ardent sound tantalizes and soothes
Even the harshest glances can be embraced
All I ask is for your mind stay open,
Your tongue stay quick to honor that which is true
For a lie will spare me nothing
Once again I am paralyzed
Silence
If only a distraction might wipe out this agony for more than a moment’s time
Yet what a difference a day makes-
This I know for sure-
Still easier said than done
Count down the minutes, dear girl
Perhaps tomorrow will bring back yesterday and all of its mystery
Although so much more might be waiting
How many smiles wait?
Tremendous disappointment lingers
since the task of owning each breath too often gets left behind
ponder
inhale
exhale
pray
bask
repeat and surrender to the magic
3.
Sublime doubt
Irritable perfection
Invisibly contagious
Insatiably seeking
Lingering resistance To Stillness
- pauses -
In each passing frame
gloriously
placed& scrumptiously
delivered
Lucid evocation
Paces with delight
as the pendulum swings
Twirling prayers
Tantalize the intellects -
Cloaked optimism
Chimes
in rattling belligerence –
Distraction prevails
Once more
Postponing the joy
until then
Blossoming realities
Simmer & Bubble
Erotically
Engaging
& Curiously undone
Sinking deeper
Transforms
Pessimists no longer
As Infinity surprises those who
Have doubted her
Surely...
Such a thing -
Is well worth the wait -
4.
Perfectly absurd
Expectations galore
Force-fed suspicions
Gleam from the mulatto’s conspiring eyes
Through our beloved talkies
Corruption streams
Backed by the
Invisible Empire
Stained with disgrace
Came the birth of a nation
Branded
With the stain
Ruthlessly questioning
The gloriously undefined
Wander still
Personal allegiance outweighs social bondage
O
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin’
Subscribe to the conflict
5.
Fields of light
Glow
Vibrations of opportunity
Emerge
Buds of revolution
Enter in through evolution
Melodies hum
With instruments and without
We are walking songs
And dancing glances
Spiritual promenade
Illuminate
Realms of miraculous splendor
Loss
Knock on the windows
Joining my soul to yours
Circle
Swirling purity
Concentrated joy
Waters down my pain
Pacifying lullaby
Saunters on every breath
Rocking what I dread to sleep
Sweet acceptance
6.
Conscious choice to override the mind
infinitely bound to shame
Past
Lines blurred
With the coercion of my body
Inspired
Commanding
Presence
her eyes echoed within his touch
Threats from yesterday and tomorrow
Put on hold
with the release
of fighting the cage
Observing myself
as if an animal on display
Epiphany--
Sit back and wait
Or open the door and move through
eyes open.
7.
Pulled from above
Erect
Guided & grounded
By Divine light
Fears circle below
Earth
Human
Fear
Swirling emotion & circumstance
Glorious color
As the merging continues
Cosmos in her eyes
Dancing spirit circles
Funneling ecstasy
This detail of the soul holds just brilliance
Her body
Firmly on the ground
While dazzlingly inviting the world in.
Sink into me as I swing into you
Propellant
Dimensions beyond imagining
Exposure—
Revelation—
Movement—
8.
Let me fade away
The idea of me that holds such intrigue
For I am tired of this masquerade
Let me fade away
The idea of me that holds such comfort
For a new layer is trapped beneath the veil of expectations
Waiting to reveal the limitless breadth it channels
Let me fade away
The idea of me that holds such definition
For I am stuck in labels
Let me fade away
The idea of me that holds such mystery
For I am not something to be solved and tucked away
Let me fade away
The idea of me that holds such history
Let it fade
So there is nowhere to move but ahead
9.
Convoluted attraction
Dissolves the quest –
That frenzied searching for oblivion
Momentary thrills
Resonate
So potent
Feel
Touch
Taste me now
No walls exist
Even the curves of my body are without boundary
As I sway these hips
Purse these lips
Lit from within
Inviting more from without
Shine. Laugh. Play. Risk.
Phenomenal feeling
without moving a muscle
--Let my love open the door--
10.
Delicate words paint me beautiful
Make the sky green and lose yourself in its leaves
Witness the changes of eternity
Leashed expression stripping the soul of creativity
Give it all
I won’t take anything from you
just add what I have
if you let me
Smile at the gifts
Lazy days of summer lead to spontaneous midnights of dreams’ doorway
Soak in the sunlight of all he’s taught
Only time shall turn me into the teacher
Simply let the circle coil
How we’ve learned that self-imposed limitations just squander
Laughter,
precious laughter.
Just settle in the soothing tendrils of generous light -
They hold the key to gratitude
Each ray leaves an imprint
to pulsate on those approaching rainy days
Tiding me over with peaceful recollection
Far too extraordinary to waste
Speak and I shall listen
Share your secrets and they will be held tight
As a guardian’s caress, your words keep the demons at bay
Sobering the curiosity that grows like locust
You are not alone any longer,
Now the secrets are ours.
11.
Marked by the steam
Drips of engaging conversation
Moisten
Sliding slowly
from
Each dip to
Sensually drifting curve
Held by the conversation
And silence alike
Wrinkled fingers feel the space between water and air
12.
Frills and pin cushions
I am
Seductive
Floating in desire’s
Complex existence
Satisfaction
In Being
Textures layer
Feeling it all
as Detours call
Presence
