Sitting there alone only a drink to hold your hands around. Young pup led by a bone, comes up and sniffs, looking for a home. A sad line, used too frequent, serves as invitation and irritant. “If your left leg was Thanksgiving and your right leg was Christmas could I visit you between the holidays?”Continue reading “In between the Holidays”

Coal in the Morning Light
A kiss, a flower, sweet upon my lips The morning’s fresh dew. I wake to see your sleeping face upon last night’s pillow. Your shoulder bare. I remember the night’s adventure: The screams, shudders, and crying out; the heat upon your face. I smile in memory’s glow wishing to fall once again in its embrace.Continue reading “Coal in the Morning Light”
Thank da Lawd
Thank da Lawd for dat wide ass, Fat and juicy, hot buttered biscuits Melt in your mouth. Thank da Lawd for them thick lips Kisses and puckered, Come to take me home We come together this day To say thank you for them hips Hold em, hold on, Held tight Thighs, Oh My, them thighsContinue reading “Thank da Lawd”
Ghosted
You left abruptly No goodbyes or teary eyes It’s not me, it’s you or other lies to sooth You just Poofed Gone Yet, the ghost of you remains I’m haunted by your absence. I sleep alone In a bed you only visited I see your ghost in my bed sheets Boo! An exclamation of fearContinue reading “Ghosted”
Once A Dream

FLEET
The motion was quick Here then gone She took my hand Captured in her eyes We stole through the land Fleeting as the dawn I look for her Ghost in the trees Shadow in the night I close my eyes and search She moves within me Follow me she whispers Spirit me away Take meContinue reading “FLEET”
Summer Storm
Summer rains, thunderstorms rage across our souls. Crashing through the heat and oppression, Flaming violence, a flash in the pan, Creating a respite for an instant. Drip, drop, drip, drip, drip, dropping from the sky, Falling on my ground, soak it in your wetness from above, Turn our clay into mud, mold in your handsContinue reading “Summer Storm”
Bound
BOUND Caught. Kept. Held. Bind me. Close me in. Keep me in your heart. Close your fist around me. Shut out the light. Surround me with You. CAUGHT Running from You. Running to you. Why did you chase me? Why did you catch me? Why did you not let me go? You’ve got me. AllContinue reading “Bound”
Me to you
Dying tonight to have you in my arms Giving up my breath to breathe you in Blind my eyes to see only you For you are my sunrise and sunsets The only beauty in the world to see Bleed me of the life in my veins If it will let me fill them with youContinue reading “Me to you”
Fall Starts
The heat slows As rain drips down Pooling between your legs. The sun on the horizon As evening rises And the cool sets in. Our frantic dash And mad embrace Is over as we lay. A crisp note in the air See the chill within your eyes My lips remain closed as do my eyes.Continue reading “Fall Starts”
