January

  Juxtapose hearts

Answers rhythm

 Nocturnal spirits

Unearth desires

    Analytical visions

   Release emotions

   Yearning to fulfill

Altruistic Vibrations

Music down low

Candles lit across the room

In the corner a fire burns casting a glow

Shadows dance along the barren walls

Bed covered in rose petals

Sweet scent tantalizing a starved soul

Champagne and two flutes wait silently

Chocolate covered strawberries for the palate

Outside the wind howls

Soon to intermingle with the soft moans to come

Snow drifts softly against the windowpane

Dreamily the scene is set

In anticipation of altruistic vibrations

In Limbo

There is no simple yes or maybe

Black or white slight shades of grey

The defining line between today and tomorrow

Reality unravels

Hope becomes a figment of the imagination

Ambiguity lingers in the air

Out of your grasp slips fragile possibilities

From eyes tears rally to fight a battle lost

In the end decisions still remain unclear

Leaving you suspended in limbo

The Unknown

I can’t discipline the forces that

Lurk seeking to devour happiness

To stop my soul from soaring

My mind to create

My spirit from breathing

My heart from loving

If granted all that would be

Left is an empty shell

Of what use to be

December

Dearest to my heart

Everlasting love

Caresses in the night

Embers inflamed to passion

Merry souls dance

Breathing in and out

Expressions of giving

Remains forever this

    December night

Wrong Turn

Turn left no take a right

Directions on sign

Obscured to vision

Is this my test?

Left lane or right

Fork in the road make a U-turn

What’s next?

Damn navigation system is speaking

In a language that doesn’t exist

Pull out the road map

Now I’m even more confused

Dead end a head keep on driving

Put on the breaks

This will not be my fate

To end on a wrong turn

The End

Beautiful words put into verse convey all the things

She couldn't say but desired too

Their time had come full circle and now

She was ready to move on

He didn't want their love to end

Couldn't understand why she was

Walking away from him

Something’s aren't meant to be assumed

Love comes, love dies

That’s part of the mystery of life

As the verse entered its next stanza

She gave him one last glance over her shoulder

As the song slowly played out

She carefully walked out the door

Her farewell to an

End to a love song

Don't Play With Fire

Drowning in desire

Opulence born and bred

Night welcomes clandestine meeting

Traverse to wickedness

Power of lust

Levitates rational thought

Anguish plays the role of executioner

Yesterday’s ashes mingle with misery

Wicked proclivities wets the appetite

Invites sin to lie in bed

Throes of covetousness ignites flame

Hell holds the door open to welcome

Fighting against primal urges

Inclinations driven by want

Repentances smolders

Embers are all that remains

Don’t play with fire…you’ll get burned

Caught in the Cross Fire

Camouflage in a war of desire

A love triangle

United in hearts battle

Glorified victory of soul of love

Honor belongs to no one

Trenches can’t conceal deceit

Inglorious esteem breathes contempt

Noble pride reaps sin

Tempestuous passions erupt

Hedonistic sojourns grief of dying love

Evoking a pledge of allegiance

Careless loyalty abandons hope

Resurrect a grave of loneliness

Obituary of lies fall from lips

Self- indulgent remorse

Shadows forgiveness

Freedom sounds for whom

Illicit acts caught in a moment of time

Revile intelligence of common sense

Eons of casualty of heart lie in a vacant field

            Caught in the cross fire

Bedroom Scenes

Scene one, he entered the bedroom candles danced off her

naked body as she lay poised

Sensually exposing the secret of herself

Scene two, slowly he maneuvered his was over to where

she rested looking down into eyes no

Color could describe

Scene three, she reached up and seductively placed her hand

on the passionate part of his body

Watched as his eyes closed ever so slightly

Ummm she thought to herself, he was now hard putty in her hands

Scene four, he unhurriedly begins to undress stripping for her

he knew this would get her off

Removing the last barrier letting her eyes feast on his manhood

their eyes then met ‘come to me the spider said to the fly’

Scene five, hunger for rapture sent them both on a journey to conquer  

Scene six, intertwined their body’s rocked to

New emotions not defined by nature

Scene seven, sounds echoed and bounced off the walls

matting call could be heard in all directions

Scene eight, sweat poured from their pores still they kept on going for

more carnal pleasure

Scene nine, positions they performed rivaled the Karma Sutra

passions continued to roar

Scene ten, can’t be mentioned let’s just say the scene ended

With two people satiated and resting up for scene eleven...

November

Changing colors

Leaves fallen to the ground

Sound of wind so smooth

Coldness seeps within

Eyes beholding the beauty

The sky unabashed in maturity

Frozen tear drops

Blanket of white covers naked earth

Smoke bellow from a lonely chimney stack

Inside fire roars in the hearth

Warm and contented some are

The rest look for and not get

Delicious aromas fill the air

Hungry bellies growl in the distance

Wishing for a place to call home

Night falls

Another November day has come to an end

Portrait

He walked into the club and there she stood

Her back to him beauty etched in every inch

A portrait to be painted

A song to be harmonized

Poetry of loveliness

His emotions he tried to conceal

Never before had he witness such sensuality

All he wanted to do was touch her

To see if she was real

He imagined his hands on her body

Lips tasting the sweetness of her core

Fantasies danced before his eyes

Becoming bold he took a step towards her

Started to reach a hand out to touch her

His vision of exquisiteness

Utopia standing there for him

To possess

With a change of mind he let his

Hand fall back to his side

Fearing he wasn't worthy of this goddess

He turned and walked away

Never seeing her face

But the portrait of her

Always remained in his mind

Chasing Paper Airplanes

I sit I watch waiting for the chance to catch whispers

Floating in the air

Sky azure white clouds dance between the sun and earth

Days shorten still I sit I watch

Making wishes futile if I’m to believe

Happiness is just a dream

Catch a falling tear drop on fingertip

I sit I watch

Breathe in breathe out

In the light of day things are clear

Gaze up at the heavens

Wondering if God really does exist

Say a prayer if He does maybe He will hear

Retrace my thoughts

I sit I watch

A little girl lost

A young woman found

A bitter pill goes down with a spoon of honey

Is life on a merry go round?

Spinning to infinity

I sit I watch

Finality to a days end

Chasing paper airplanes

The Idea of You

It’s not you that I miss

Not your smell or your scent

It isn’t even your presence

There’s just something that keeps the idea of you alive

For good or bad haven’t quite fished through that one yet

Still the memories float around in my mind

Ideas of what I wished you to be yet you were

Never meant to be

Sunset walks along the shore climb Mt. Everest

Swim the Atlantic Ocean

Ideas only formulated in my dreams

Steamy sweat soaked sheets

Hands roaming over my body

Ideas of a lover who knew how to make

Love and receive it back

Desire so strong I smelled it

Before I caught a whiff of you

Ideas of only what I hoped to form

Into reality stay hidden in the idea of you

Adios

No tears fall from eyes

No sad reflection of what could have been

Memories dashed to stone

Old songs don’t evoke passion

Life has a new clarity didn’t see before

Hidden behind closed metaphors

Strength from within replaced weakness

Sins washed away being born again

Hate waste of energy replaced with positivity

Tomorrow ushers in new beginnings

Yesterday vanished in the rain

Future I can say adios to pain

Adios to emotional hell

Adios to spirit weary and trodden under

Adios to the prison cell

Created by a demented warden  

Adios, adios, adios, adios

The Other Woman

She knocked at the door standing there big as life

Looked into the eyes of her competition

Smiled sweetly knowing the sins she committed

Would soon be answered

Hands on her ample hips

Her lips dripping with revulsion

Singing a song of the love for this man

Tears begin to run rivers down her face

Pleading for his release

Begging so earnestly

Passionate speech came forth out of desperation

Her love for him was her poison

Held prisoner she kept him safely tucked

Away in her heart

She continued to implore, “Let him go he’s not yours”

Staring back into her eyes only emotion

To surface was sorrow

“Look lady you’re the fifth one today to stop by

Apparently he’s not yours either”

With that the door was slammed in her face

A few minutes later came another knock

Different woman same scenario

Escape

 

 I wish I could disappear 

 Erase all memories of myself 

Become an apparition 

 To hunt those who’ve 

Brought me pain 

Escape from troubles that brew

 In discontent my heart bleeds

(Stop the music player to listen to the video)

Caress the Night Farewell

Caress the night farewell

As we breathlessly

Await morning’s tear drops

Kissing the equable earth

Suns nimble rays dances across

Azure sky

On the horizon nature’s beauty

Breathes in contentment to thy soul

A painted portrait created by God’s

Own hands renders a picture of

Stillness 

Subterfuge

Secretes have their way of revealing truth

Under prying eyes

Bedroom tell lies

The heart like the mind  

Evil undresses

Ruse delivers pain imposed upon it

Forgotten feelings

Undetected the

Guise is buried beneath

Eternity of hate

Subterfuge

Your Scent

Your scent invades my essence

Tantalizing, teasing, caressing

Evoking passionate fantasies

Diving into the deep scent of you

Ecstasy inhaling desire pools

Your scent trickles

Seeping from your core

Liquid delight… anticipation

Has my heart pumping faster

Knowing soon we’ll be matching

Beat for beat

Thrust for thrust

Lust for lust

Love for love

Arousal increasing your aroma

Mating call sings

Exhales inhale breathe in some more

Of you…

Skeletons

The sound coming from the closet gets

Louder with each passing hour

Moans and groans bones rattle

The door knob turns but doesn’t open

The shame remains hidden behind the barrier

Evil laughter comes from the other side

Whisper of loneliness adds to the mix

Secrets line the four corners

Deception fills the cracks

Illicit cravings feed on

Pretty little liars

Seducing hungry eyes looking

To add to the over flowing riddles

Banging to get out

Reveal to the world fake smiles

And polite kisses are a smoke screen

To the true meaning behind each passionate touch

One last chance is taken for escape

Crossing a threshold to revelations

The solid panel is strong not giving way to

The pressure

For now skeletons remain securely locked away

Until the next attempt

Second Sight

She could see into the future and
knew what to expect
So when he walked out the door she didn’t
even give a shit
She anticipated he’d be leaving soon
so there were no tears or words
Matter of fact she had his bags already packed
greeted him at the door and gave him
All his shit back
the confused expression on his face had
Her laughing
he didn’t know she possessed this ability 
She could see past his bullshit 
so why didn’t she act sooner
There’s a time for everything and his time had come
looking into the future she knew she’d be strong
Envisioned her life a free dove flying above
and for him she saw his destruction
The next woman he tried to play
turned around and fed him his own retribution

In the Moment

In the moment your life-cycle changes

Embrace a new future

Instead settled for the stale past

The answers you come up with

Are not the ones you are willing

To accept

Circumstances leave no room

For guess work

In the moment time can’t be taken back

For an instant clarity is a diamond

Sparkling in the sun

Examine it closer and see it’s

Filled with inclusions

Blemishes that aren’t seen with the

Naked eye become visible in the dark

In the moment what looked good in the mirror

Evil fore shadows behind soulless eyes

Lips speak deceit buried deeply in the heart

Lure you in and trap your spirit

Still it was in the moment

That has brought you to this place

Hell Hath No Fury

You haven’t seen anything until

A woman’s heart has been f*cked with

Lightening, hail, windstorm

Are nothing compared to the

Anger in a woman who’s been

F*cked over onetime too many

Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes

Are destructive f*ck with a woman’s

Emotions and get dusted

Tornadoes violently destroy what ever

Comes into its path

A woman’s heart is no match

For the devastation

She possesses more power than

The combined anger of nature

Hell hath no fury of a woman’s heart

That’s been stepped on

Watch the sky a storm is on the horizon!!!

Eighteen

Ephemeral life

I still remember the color of your eyes

Gift of life tear drop for each year

How soon time becomes a memory

Tomorrow is another day

Envision the smile catch in the heart

Embrace a part of me in spirit will forever live

Never letting the reminiscence of you fade

 Poetic Illusion in book form for those who prefer to read the physical book rather than reading it on a Kindle or other tablets

In the Doghouse

You call him to come, and he acts as if he’s deaf

Or doesn’t understand the command

Give him the task of fetching your slippers

Bring you the morning newspaper

Simple things to do…

Suddenly he’s stuck with the mentality of being two

Pat him on the head for the good deeds he performs

Swat him on the ass when he goes and pees in a corner

Rub his nose in his wrong doings

Scold him tell him he has been a bad boy

Sometimes you want to throw your hands up in frustration

Send him off to obedient school

Maybe they will be able to teach him

What you’ve been trying to

Your orders don’t

Seem to register in his brain

When he’s happy he’ll lick your face

Rub up against you showing you his affection

Then run off and get with another bitch

Goes to show he has no discrimination in his soul

 He’ll hump anything that has four legs and a tail

Here you are back to square one

What to do when a dog doesn’t listen

Pack up his doggy bone

Change the locks on his doghouse

Go out and find a dog that will obey

Your every wish and not give a

Second, look at that other bitch

 

Tragedy

Disastrous end of a love affair

Calamity in the wake of the fallout

Catastrophe bemoan the wind

Misfortune to the hearts involved

Heartbreak came at an expensive price

Ruin reputations bought for a night of illicit passion

Adversity fashioned the road to redemption

Mishap or coincidence lover’s duplicity revealed

Rage of uncontrollable obsession led to an

Upheaval of reprisal sorting out the victims

Cataclysmic tempo builds to a crescendo

Damage to lives unfold

Shattered emotions lay bare

Chaos ensued sorting out the fallen reflections

Bedlam erupted two souls entangled with each other

Pandemonium couldn’t be stilled

Anarchy warped the minds of survivors

As they question why didn’t any one see

The tragedy before it happened

Nomad

He was drifting floating along with life

Wherever it took him, he’d end up there

There was no anchor to weigh him down

Roots that needed watering

He went with the direction of the wind

Changing course at a moment’s notice

Nomad to wander this earth

Liberated spirit

To live amongst the birds that flew free

Stop analyzing what his existence meant

Spread his wings he soared

 Joining his heart to mother earth

 Liberally roamed, drifted along with life

Wherever it took him, he’d end up there

Finding peace…
