Rocks

Rough the truth
blend the words
age the rocks in your head
as the music plays on

Neck

Her neck bore the mark
of a woman loved
or molested
A crimson star 
upon bronze skin
She called it a love bite
a desired tattoo
Love sucks

Daydreamer

Into my mind
you wander
as a daydream
a wish
as a whisper lights new
tangible as gravity
the wind
as a smile holds true

Tremble

When castles wait
for time to crumble
clouds billow and melt
Waves roll and crash to shore
as feathers lift and soar
The earth quakes
when lovers tremble
compelling greed to ponder

Entice

Treasures shine
pleasures lure
senses trust
promises keep
pressures mount
thoughts linger
lovers know
time allows
all that will be

Cadence

The cadence of 140
ever true to tell
the stories, snorts and sound bites
do excite or quell

Change

The squeeze is on
ever greater
For those who suffer
are the light
that shines justly
for change

Ease

Of thoughts contrived
for later use
colors drench
the canvass

Of blissful verve
for stories told
words caress
the pages

Of timely lust
for passions known
pleasure seeks
the dawning

Of simple ifs
for you are here
lovers ease
the yearning

Impact

Stars collide
particles drift
time allows
water moves
flowers bloom
pretty is
lovers leave
thoughts remain

Prose Affair

You wandered by
I stopped to look
you spoke
I listened
you kissed me
I liked it
Kissed you back
all over
You disappeared
then returned
Delightful bliss
as time allowed
You're gone now, again
In my heart lingers
one sweet love affair

To Be

Sunshine
hikes
Daydream
wonders
Starshine
fires
Distant
thunder
Lightening
mesmerizes
Tequila
induced
Stories
told
Loosely
goofy
Content
to be

So

Fooled around
and fell in love
we know the lyrics
Temptation
doesn't cover it
Nor does yearn
desire, long, hunger
thirst or crave
Left to hanker
a crude enough path
leads to musing
lasting as long as the Universe
so written
Time and circumstance
won't allow thread bare
the truth of future
left empty
untouched, unclear
Trust waits here

Leap

Long for the day
as if puzzles are free
Making sense of wonders
that wander through time

Tempt a wish
to float the art
Fashion thought
after questions

Act out the truth
in a fantasy
Leap to your norm
outside yourself

Rush to compete
for last place
All wet in your
suit of promises

Taste like a dream
on a rope
Pulling the sky
from a song

Brush your hair
with the wind
Standing alone
on a strand

Tremble until
the dust matches your eyes
Trip over heartbeats
and kiss off the Moon

Lasting as long
as the Universe

Touch

Dash your weakness
create your day
trust your warmth
know your light
alter your truth
gift your talents
carry your sensations
notice your tune
reach your whimsy
touch my name

Wait

What if you leave the light on
while the world spins?
turn around
while the world bounces
leave the gate open
while the world catches butterflies
push the cart
while the world paces
cram the crevices
while the world opens
fill a void
while the world stuffs its face
What if you answer
while the world waits?

And Then Some

I rushed your stage
     You performed
I gave you looks
     You shined
I lured you away
     You seduced me
I showed you mine
     You wanted it
I tripped your fancy
     You reflected
I slowed your progress
     You forged on
I pushed your patience
     You unleashed passion
I spent your time
     You made more
I asked for peace
     You gave me joy

You

Big picture view
significant details
discovered to reveal
the curl of your dimples
the leer your eyes make
signaling want
demanding time
interpreting
why you matter

Rushing Light

She left me
hanging on
to glistening reflections
ghosting what is

A boat putters by
with noisy heartbeats
making waves
quaking quaint

Waiting for clouds
in shapes of dreams
of beer suds
melting on her lips

Caressing tension
forging sensations
accepting pleasure
rushing light

Again

Let your mind wander
to limits beyond
pasted stars
to savor the glow
without boundaries
Together again
a struggle no different
Edge to cliff
Glue is light
between our souls
Eyes reach to meet
set free in knowing
the bond endures
angst-filled pressures
Accept how brightly
we shine
when we love
