Once They Were Horses

Tamed by the bridle, led astrayWhere have their wild spirits gone?Galloping in the windManes flying free. Capturing the wind.Yet, here they prance. So pretty with their braided bowsAnd dead eyes.

My hunger for youIs a dangerous thing.A fire ragingBurning to get out.Your eyes and smileDisarming harmony.My lust Driving me wild.Charming interplayOf unspoken passionHinting but unrevealed,I let my imagination Slide over you,Caresses intimate placesKisses untouched.

Magic 9 Poem: The Bear Necessities

Magic in the air Her scent floats like gossamer upon the breeze A lifetime with her I want to share We share licks of ice cream Our worries disappear, we walk without a care I stop her and get down on one knee I look up and see her, dazzling and so fair This decisionContinue reading “Magic 9 Poem: The Bear Necessities”
