Gideon’s Challenge

IMG_9392A Quiet Moment

Hipbone to deck rail
as I lean with tea
in hand
the steam swirling
the scent
of fragrant herbs
to blend with
fresh air
and tease the senses
as I watch
the sun sink
then you come
to press close behind
and my soul
is soothed

IMG_9418The Bonding Time

I want to stretch
long  and tall
back against soft fuzz
on the forest floor
bare flesh
exposed
and body vulnerable
as dappled sunlight
skims over skin
and raindrops
drip
to tease patters
of mosture
on sensitive places

IMG_9499Seeking Time

Eager
I am eager for you
my soul open
my arms aching
my breath bated
as I wait
because I know
soon you will wake
and our time
together
will being anew
and we can wrap
each other up
in our love

IMG_9459Spring Visitors

Pure and sweet
and fun to meet
petals part
and splay
a sunny center
greets you gaze
as flowers
come out to play
and with
soft giggles
visitors hide
among verdant
green
lean in and
listen close to
what they have to say

IMG_9522The Longing

Gentle hues
flush skin
to bright shades
of pink
while delicate flesh
stretches pale
and creamy
under
sunlight’s kiss
and I wait
for your lips
to take claim
of what the sun
caresses so sweetly

IMG_0026Beltane

Fresh air swirls
sweet and crisp
over senses
attuned
to the earth’s
awakened voice
as smoke unfurls
and the whisper
of intention rises
to coil upon the air
and spring’s energy
joins the waltz
of magic’s dance
ripe
and ready
