Captured With Heat and Heart









Like pearls, you've been stringing me

Every time we danced all these weeks

Languishing in intimate conversation

So much we've found in common

Comfortable at times no talk is needed



Last night you let me know your heart

Opened to me all within your ripe hungry soul

Delicious words drenching my mind

Caressing my fingertips as you spoke

Words spoken softly with your… Continue

Shattered



He sits on the back porch in darkness.

Holding his face in his hands,

He sobs hard in his helplessness,

So tired and beaten down.

Sick at heart of being her verbal punching bag,

And her personal kick ball and blaming wall.

How did it get like this?



When will she stop these tantrum tirades?

This she monster with eyes dark full of hate,

Her mouth twisted into ugliness,

It spitting out only… Continue

Poetry/ She Warrior's last Cry



She washes the dripping blood from her bottom lip

Rubs her pain throbbing hip

Hears the door slamming signaling he’s left

Gone

She sinks down to the bathroom floor

Hugging her legs to her tight

Sobbing

Sick of the fear he instills

Wishing

As always

He’d just die in the night

Her body trembles as if cold

Just let him die in the night



No more tears are falling from her… Continue

To Romancing Your Mind

I want to have a romance

to wine

and dine

your mind

Intertwining with colored strokes

your words

throughout

mine

Wrap myself within your joy

making your

imagination

soar

Whisper words inspiring within

that make you

tingle to

your core

To dance, to prance, always a beginning

never any

end





I’ll be a fairy darting to and fro

an angel,

a devil,

mysteries

you'll want to… Continue

Glimpses Given In Pen

I shall write for you a poem,

no better or no worse,

than are those poems of other men

or women who write in metered verse.



But in my words you'll hear my heart,

its beat in steady pace,

you'll sense my soul and inner self,

see glimpses of my face.



My spirit soars with pen in hand,

my thoughts then framed in ink,

you'll find my passions and desires,

you'll see just how I think.



And on this page I give to… Continue

Aurora Borealis

Greens, pinks, turquoise lights
Undulating above in distant sky
Vibrations of unusual mysteries

Mystical show so intense
Hot toddies for extra warmth
Fantastic mystical magical delights

Broken Pearls

Time passed by

Were you walking with me?

Left over’s of yesterdays gone

Stored memories put away

Closed curtains steal the moonlights shine

I masquerading in leather, lace and

Pearls



I became something I thought you wanted

Though it was just your disguise

In broken promises

Static phone calls

Please I tell my audience

Learn my lesson well



I say,

It’s not us really…

It’s their… Continue
