Expectations

 

I’ve always had expectations

from the first time we met

realised our dreams

forged in conflict

on life’s anvil



the world keeps spinning

even when you let go

although my head is spinning

as it all slows down

the forge cools



my dreams keep recurring

I don’t want to wake up

to the possibility

of diminished expectations

and forgotten memories

…….


but still I linger

for the dreams to become

real expectations

A Glimmer of Hope

 

the house stands all alone on the hill

shuttered and drawn

I approach in darkness

all is locked, silent and dark



I seek some way in

but to no avail

no one answers my knocking

a sliver of light

at an upstairs window



a shadow beckons

is this the glimmer of hope

that will open the door?

I patiently wait

For all those traveling at this time of the year, travel safely as you journey to friends and family … as for me I will be with my family for New Years 🙂

Now listen to the haunting gorgeous voice of Skylar Grey

All a ’Quiver

bend that bow

draw that string

pluck that apple

aim straight and true

no telling what may happen



as the apple balances

precariously on that head

lived vicariously

pierced deliciously

desirous of heaven’s gate?



pierced to the core

bitten off more

than one should swallow

all a quiver

as eden’s gate beckons

Allure of the Curve

where the neck meets the shoulder

the head slowly turns

creating

mysterious shadows and hollows



the extension of her leg

as she reaches

rising, pushing

grasping, holding



the swell of her breasts

as she slowly inhales

and then

oh, so exquisitely

exhales



the allure of the thigh

disappearing upwards

towards

that mons



aahhh the beauty

of it all ….

with those dangerous

alluring curves

Passionate Collisions

creeping relentlessly onward

with its hunger

yet to be sated

only tamed by the belief

of that seductive attraction

pulling opposites into orbit

closer and closer

until two worlds collide

exploding in a frenzy of passion

Shared Burdens

battered and bruised

shattered and drawn

fading away

into the gray



dragged down

those deepest depths

the fear is real

sleep escapes



only but a heartbeat away

from what

I don’t know

headlong crashing into life

fading away from the blue



hearts are breaking

I can feel it, can you

let me carry your sorrows

let me shed tears for you

and

take them when they come

Drowning in Lust

A poem written after being away from my love for 3 months, and am now finally heading home … 🙂

a trail of discarded clothes

leads to a pit of desire

primal urges released

tenderness and lust

a little bit of animal

is exposed



conflicting emotions

tender caresses

unleashing

sweat, tears, yearning

and savagery

bitten by love



drowning in our love

as I drink of you

sated yet still hungry

drenched in love

and lust

we sleep

The One Constant

time spent apart

is lost in life’s forgotten mist

never to be recovered

lost but not forgotten



distance ….

makes the heart grow distant



bridging the gap of miles

never comes easy

broken bridges, rebuilt over time

broken

memories need to be stronger

than any broken bridge



absence ….

makes the heart grow absent



times cloak of darkness

descends and masks

light, love and memories

build memories must be built to withstand

the storms of life

when miles come between



love

like time

is constant

The Seduction Arcade

I wrote this poem last year… and at present, I am away from my love on an extended project, and I really miss her touch, smell, closeness… Nothing can beat the touch, caress and closeness of a loved one. Skype and Facetime cannot compete. Miss you my love ..

welcome back my friends to the show that never ends

the curve of your neck

the sound of your name

the arch of your back

and hints of flesh



the beat of your heart, the seduction arcade



the red of your heartbeat

the smell of the sheets

imprints in the bed

footprints in the sand



the beat of your heart, the seduction arcade



whispers in the air

the touch of your tongue

the heat of your skin

silk in your hair



the beat of your heart, the seduction arcade



water on your skin

lace across your body

leather and feathers

the textures arouse



the beat of your heart, the seduction arcade



the colours of lust

the setting sun

the eclipse of your heart

and tears on your cheeks



the beat of your heart, the seduction arcade



the rise of your breasts

the mist of your breath

like mist on the moors

it doesn’t have to make sense

still you turn me on



the beat of your heart, continues the seduction arcade
