Opening to the huntress<br />
Watch for her arrows<br />
<br />
Seed of Mystery<br />
Autumn raindrops mock my tears<br />
Loving feeds the growth<br />
<br />
In my bed of leaves<br />
With cloudy doubts of reason<br />
Swept in windy swirls<br />
<br />
Autumn medicine<br />
March plants call out for harvest<br />
Each a cry of love<br />
<br />
Graceful willow wisps<br />
In fall brush by my lips<br />
Your fire ignites my soul<br />
<br />
Breezes loosen life<br />
Colored beauties leaving trees<br />

All in my head<br />
Its what the doctors said<br />
All in my head<br />
Yet every week<br />
Being abducted by an alien crew<br />
A "SPELL" overcame me<br />
As the hole in my heart<br />
Would pull me on to their ship<br />
Experiment<br />
The same<br />
Experiment<br />
Each and every time<br />
My fingers would grow<br />
Into giant sausages<br />
My mothers face blown up<br />
Like a big fat balloon<br />
Then the face<br />
A witches face<br />
with a huge wart on her nose<br />
Laughing<br />
Screaming<br />
Closer and closer<br />
An inch from mine<br />
Would melt into a red and white<br />
Target swirl<br />
Begin to spin<br />
Round and round<br />
Until I hit the ground<br />
"I'm back," I would cry<br />
As if emerging from the ship<br />
But it was all in my head<br />

It helps us make<br />
That leap of faith<br />
We need to see the truth<br />
<br />
Poetry is a necessity<br />
We do not need<br />
To understand it<br />
To gaze in wonder<br />
<br />
Poetry is a necessity<br />
It lifts us <br />
It pulls us<br />
It takes us on a wild ride<br />
<br />
Not understanding poetry<br />
Is a beautiful thing<br />
It turns our eyes<br />
Towards the beloved<br />
<br />
Not understanding poetry<br />
Is what our hearts<br />
Ache for<br />
What they deserve<br />
<br />
Not understanding poetry<br />
Is better than <br />
Understanding most <br />
Anything elseRomantic Poetesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15197816051143591657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376806218729500712.post-62432105246629249222010-07-12T15:17:00.000-07:002010-07-12T15:17:57.839-07:00Villanelle MomentVillanelle Moment<br />
<br />
Awaiting, the moment of desire<br />
We long for sweet kisses so near<br />
Anticipation, my heart is afire<br />
<br />
Knowing, not needing to enquire<br />
We approach without any fear<br />
Awaiting, the moment of desire<br />
<br />
Connecting, we dare to aspire<br />
We see that our passion is clear<br />
Anticipation, my heart is afire<br />
<br />
Traveling, this path may require<br />
We embrace all that is dear<br />
Awaiting, the moment of desire<br />
<br />
Feeling, we must then conspire<br />
We thrill when first we hear<br />
Anticipation, my heart is afire<br />
<br />
Wanting, what next will transpire<br />
We reach to see it appear<br />
Awaiting, the moment of desire<br />
Anticipation, my heart is afire<br />

The stone offerings were everywhere<br />
Red rocks<br />
Red earth<br />
Tall ones, short ones<br />
Creating a sacred place<br />
As we worked to balance our stones<br />
Hoping they would stay<br />
As we erected them<br />
For centuries<br />
A monument to the<br />
Deep seated need<br />
Within the human soul<br />
To connect with each other<br />

Caressing me with your<br />
Knowing fingertips<br />
Silken lips<br />
Probing tongue<br />
Teasing me so close<br />
To the edge of abandon<br />
Falling fast until<br />
A tall white cloud<br />
Picks us up and holds us close<br />
As the fiery sparks we transmit<br />
One against the other<br />
Igniting pure friction<br />
Turning this <br />
Sleepy, opalescent dragon<br />
Into a fire breathing <br />
Thundercloud<br />
Arms and legs following<br />
Bodies dancing to the beat<br />
Of space and time<br />
Entering Divine territory<br />
As I call out to the Gods and Goddess<br />
Before our trajectory<br />
Finds a perfect galaxy<br />

In my hands<br />
Reaching around you<br />
With my mouth<br />
Feeling you<br />
Against my lips<br />
My tongue<br />
Reveals you<br />
Reveals me<br />
As we<br />
Find our way<br />
To that other<br />
Part of me<br />
Where you fit<br />
So perfectly<br />
So amazingly<br />
Where the very start<br />
Of feeling you<br />
Begins the journey<br />
To mutual movement<br />
Joyful expression<br />
Rhythm<br />
Pulsing<br />

To see me<br />

Moving with your body<br />
As you begin <br />
The sounds I love to hear<br />
The melody<br />
The chorus <br />
Unresolved<br />
On the upbeat<br />
Unfulfilled crescendo<br />
Dissonant harmony<br />
Now loud and long<br />
Enlarged to form a Coda<br />
Prolonging the buildup<br />
Longer and faster<br />
Then my treat arrives<br />
As with the final climax<br />
Of this piece<br />
Followed by peace<br />
And an amazing<br />
Smile.Romantic Poetesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15197816051143591657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376806218729500712.post-58867323574195555082010-06-18T08:16:00.001-07:002010-06-18T08:20:33.247-07:00Intensity MomentResting in your arms<br />
Speaking of intensity<br />
Layers of intensity<br />
Yours,<br />
Mine,<br />
Ours.<br />
Intensity <br />
Giving<br />
Receiving<br />
Shared energy<br />
As each layer<br />
Is unveiled<br />
And the next<br />
Revealed<br />
We rise to meet <br />
What that may mean<br />
Reach for<br />
Shared bliss<br />
Listen to<br />
Our bodies<br />
Where they lead us<br />
Where we follow<br />
Where the pleasure<br />
Of pleasing<br />
And being pleased<br />
Finds<br />
A new realm<br />
A new layer<br />

On a windy day when<br />
The sun first shows itself<br />
Just before sunset,<br />
I am privileged to find<br />
A dance and dancers.<br />
A raucous ballet<br />
A performance<br />
For those of us<br />
Who choose this path<br />
Who choose to watch<br />
Violet seeded rows of tall grasses<br />
Leaning into<br />
White seeded rows.<br />
They rustle as the<br />
Choreographer sends them<br />
The message,<br />
Push now,<br />
Fall back now,<br />
Kick your legs,<br />
Wave your heads<br />
To the music<br />
To the beat<br />
Entertain us with<br />
Your sensuous dance.<br />
The lonely Aspen<br />
Quakes in amusement<br />
The taller grasses<br />
Bow in amazement<br />
The reeds<br />
Like a curtain<br />
try to hide<br />
this dance<br />
From the lake<br />
On the other side.<br />
I do not wish to leave<br />
But the sun ceases to<br />
Shine<br />
The colored seeds turn<br />
Dark<br />
The wind still blows<br />
The ballet will be<br />
There for the evening<br />
Creatures<br />
Who may wish<br />
To dance along.<br />

A liquid<br />
A mellow, creamy<br />
Liquid.<br />
It creates<br />
In me<br />
An urge to<br />
Lick it from<br />
Your body<br />
As you speak<br />
And it slowly<br />
Flows<br />
Down your<br />
Wonderfully<br />
Hairy chest<br />
Down your<br />
Beautiful belly<br />
Wherever it flows<br />
Before I try<br />
To consume it all.<br />
<br />
Your voice<br />
Tantalizes<br />
All of my senses<br />
Awakens<br />
All of my desires<br />
Calls me to my<br />
Pen in the middle<br />
Of the night<br />
As I interrupt<br />
A dream<br />
To remember<br />
The way I felt<br />
Just a few hours<br />
Ago<br />
As it flowed<br />
Out of you<br />
In to me.<br />
