After Hours

Majestic (edited)

Shield me from harm's ways, 
always damaging my sail, 
saturating my spirits in waves, 
leaving me to shore-up a shell.

Make me lively like the sky, 
kissable against the moon's maim, 
a colorful pallet that meets the eye 
on a canvas painted in soft rains.

Acceptance

Take me as I am,
My flesh, my bones, my blood-cells.
Let’s be in common,
as we are the same with flaws
that don’t make us less pleasant.

Forecast

Miss me like warming up cold feet
under the covers over pillow convos.

The mood hotter than core’s heat,
moisture precipitating in droves.

Senses heartening, beat after beat
chests rising to the occasion, no?

Maybe miss me like love on repeat,
yes?, like love that always seeds to grow.

October’s Game

Hold me close in the coming of rain
Consoling my demons with bolting eyes
Peaking from behind my mind’s terrain.

Amidst all the devilry keep me sane,
All because you fear not the disguise;
Leaving calm my autumn domain.

My protector, solace, all the same,
Be my shield, shade over my eyes
From October’s trickery game.

Treat me well until the sun’s claim
Over the crisp sky, and then I shall rise
Fallen in love with November again.

Leg shaking
Hair raising
Word fumbling
Palpitations

Eye rolling
Lip quivering
Nail biting 
Stimulations

Heat seeking
Moister building
Climate changing
Fluxations

Ballad of Love

A despondent woman came to be,
I stole away her insecurity.
When her heart was passed by men,
I reached, she smiled, and I stole it then.

Her diamond face changed ways,
I bowed to meet her tear filled gaze.
When it ascended she confronted me,
And I told her, just let it be.

When a wintery night proved distant,
She now had me up close and innate.
When spring came with birds and bees,
Someone’s voice rose, love - finally.

Relations

Hold me close like my eye’s desire
draping your naked unfolds. 

Give me kisses sweet as the nectar
running down the pleats of Yoni.

Listen while two hearts beat in sync
riding the melody of belting moans.

Smile with me deeply,
feeling the bodily communion in your soul.

Let your mind babble about me
reminding you how sleep would be.

Greet me in the morning with the sun
and conversations won't be alone.

Aware

Kindling the mood,

gentle like embers,

a warming embrace

cuddled in a hollow

Raspy songs sang

as the night burned,

breaths panting 

dancing in its glow

Shadows unclothed,

unseen but felt deeply,

and heard loudly,

lingering with what they chose

Judgement Day

Pacing the floor waiting,
creeks in the hard wood,
a splintering paranoia 
of you cutting me loose 

Youth covered in frown lines,
happiness fading with sun,
this timber is shivering cold 
without your fire in this place

It aches,
as if bitten in a polar pummel 
and I can’t bare to fight it,
marred like a marriage in court

Reports that I’m not enough,
a bluff from a telling truth,
a gavel striking down on me
when I’m innocent of loving you

Pillow Talk

Your word play is
every bit of lyrical,
my every poetic niche

That slight lisp,
it pacifies
like a lullaby

Sly;
nourishing me
without a breast present

A constant presence,
just enough 
until you are ready
