before #stunning
dazzled
once breathless laughter
caught kisses
lips so easy
as if love always
finds
A marriage of coffee mornings
continued surprises
in patience
new ways to listen
old and new
grow and intertwine
branches, roots
embraces in the sway
#vss365
collapsed #unabashed
in the hurry overwhelm of love
or so all romantic fairy tales
pedantic have us know
trepidation in respiration
autonomic stresses
fight or flight
where reason doesn't win
something moves within
muse of Aphrodite
carried in the wind
#vss365
Lemon over halibut
taste is dense,
I peel veneers
consciousness
I'm afraid if I dive too deep
or up too close to milky way
#magnetism
In a sense, doesn't nirvana or true love equate to full loss of self ?
papillote parsley
zucchini edges brown
kitchen sunlight streams
#vss365
irresist currency
feng shui deli
kosherama
last window seat
steams over
sparks pastrami conversation
russian dressing
#magnetism
never met before
finding when
was supposed to be
once upon a city corner
in July someday
#vss365
break scud tie
larvae #embrace
in pigeon feather quill
nymphs of hares tenkara
shallows in speck turns
light reflects imitates
still lake
late morn
tricks of fish
techniques that capture more
#vss365
#vss365
far flung her heart tossed
me into plenty fish
unrequited now after
all everloving well #embrace
such a rock she was
well anchored to my stern
chest so
full of every jewel and treasure
never would a man want more
fool am I now
floating everlast choppy lost
I couldn't write an ode
it's like picking wild flowers
in a mountain field
Maybe, it is a test of love
sonnets that I arrange
and that she throws away
Or photos of ashes
her replies
throes my injury
I dry each #rose
upside down
cedar spirals
alone
fill my home
#vss365
During foot rub
cracklings heard
above the moans of ecstasy
love stretched
happiness warmed
toes conduct
currents from the earth
ways of hearing music
demi pointe and reach
shutter step fresh
#frolic restless legs
in sleep
I leap in dreams
refreshed
#vss365
licking wounds
saliva stings
finding hearts on sleeves
looking between the ink
stories on flesh
rolling up muslin
#revealing arms that held
close beauty's force
veins that lead back
to home and hearth
#vss365
Laugh our love today
along the brook
a picnic fair
sunlight melody
#tenderly played
splayed upon the banks
bodies spoon a choreography
we move our lips
with cheese and wine
a day both short and long
desire aches
and, then, soothed
waves we feel and share
#vss365
My impoverishment equates to a disfigurement. Love has strategy and tactics. My affluent lovers bestow gifts and penalties. My lovers of my own class suffer in their offers.
Yet, #tenderly, humanity is shared. Affluence and poverty each have costs
#vss365
#vss365
Amber hues dance in delight
Reflected in the silent shimmer
Of the moon and its stars
Across a velvet dark sky
Within your eyes
And so I #swoon
A little love drunk
Forgetting the break of dawn
Time stopping to swoon too
In a galaxy just for me and you
kiss her right light with Super Ego
shake her primal Id
she had a way of moving chakras
up the loins to above crown head
some ways of balancing acts
spinal fluid rush
knees morph jelly
anterior cruciate ligament slush
hold on to the #swoon
keep each other with full love
#vss365
yet, I was lucky,
hath brought me where
I was found
for otherwise I was forever lost
forever at beckon
such is my tender service
having been saved
also, all is then at risk
weathered are wrinkles
spoiled self centered
#supercilious and hardened
til far distance grew
#vss365
