IMG_9534Intimate Moments

Silk on skin
brushes light
gentle
the swell of lips
followed
by warm exhale
and flesh tightens
flushing in hues
of pink
eagerly anticipating
the next touch
and the skim
of another breath
more
please

IMG_0421Perfect Timing

Beautiful
and breathless
she sits and waits
with bated breath
with an
eager whisper
running through
her mind
again and again

“pick me”

And sometimes?
I hear her

Pack the toothpaste
and toothbrush
the emollient bar
and the comb
an extra pair
of underwear
and an earbud
for your ear
are absolutely
essential
but above it all
don’t forget
the cards
(reading cloth optional)

IMG_9603Piercing the Skin

The ache spread
little by little
as longing
withers my insides
turning moving parts
into a husk
of nothing
but the pain
of separation
and I miss you
so much
that I feel surely
soon the thorns
will pierce out
through my flesh
for all to see.

IMG_0046The Watcher

The sweet girl sits
at the window
and observes
the world
passing by
known by
every bird and
construction worker
as the watcher
in the window
always there
with a curious
and attentive gaze

IMG_9706Finding Perfection

My soul glows
brightly
in vibrant colors
as your love
claims me
as yours
once more
and again
and I know
exactly
just where
I belong

in your arms
