Ballad of Love

Open Minded

They became deep in their poetic

space, as they defied sound permitting

moans through the vast obscure.

For they were lost in each other’s

mystique, yet still open minded 

to where their spirits were.

And even while sated, they still 

yearned at the remaining closed 

doors of each other’s corridor.

There is where they’d find comfort

in the shadows left waiting to be

explored.

Beyond Her Threshold

The physical fades to a quiet

background when the map of your

thoughts begins to unwind.

Though your beauty lies bare in this

softening light, it is always the

structure and grace of your mind.

The curve of a shoulder, the warmth of

a touch, are only the threshold, the

edge of the door.

But, the words that you speak and the

truths you hold still are the landscapes

I am drawn to explore.

For skin may invite an immediate gaze,

a sudden surrender to what I can see,

But the robe of your intellect, layered

and deep is the riddle that sets my

attention free.

Infinity

Cosmic,

a celestial charm

pouring knowledge

at my temple of her

very existence 

A water bearer in the

night sky surrounded

by an air that breathes

songs of her descent

She’s had my attention,

reciting her poetics through 

the corridors of my orbit

leaving gifts of her rose

scent

If her essence isn’t 

intended for me then it

has still captured me 

somewhere throughout 

infinity 

And beyond that, she has

love for all constellations,

yet the smile I carry 

subsequent to her words 

makes me fee...

Come to Me

Come to me,

as honest as the sun 

when it says it will

rise yet another day.

Show me your true 

feelings to a degree 

that makes me hot and

in a revealing disarray.

Descend slowly showing

me all of your true colors

against the changing of

light.

Leave me in a dreamy

state of mind once you’ve 

touched my horizon while

we look for Neptune in the

night’s sky.

Positive Identification

Listen,

I know it’s loud amongst our

star’s chattering about, but try 

and hear my words

Those times when you cross my

path, where you’d stop to hold

up everything else just to see me,

that is why I adore who you are

Why ever should I not? And how by

any measure could I disobey my 

soul that says “go after her, follow 

your heart”

And so here I am caught up to your

attention because I couldn’t yield

at a–maybe I am wrong about her.

Can I Take You There

Can I,

take you to a realm called ‘Us’

where we'd blend our spirits,

incumbent of a rare love?

She Has My Attention

It’s 3AM with the venue to capacity,

but I still spot her nonchalant eyes

beyond others making amorous contact

No one has my attention like her,

skin golden, glowing like my cognac

The music is pleasing to me,

but I only care to hear her song, what

appeals to her, and what turns hers on

There is nothing that has my attention

like that woman not seeking 

a definition

Not needing to hear her every synonym

from the mouths of unbecoming men

For she knows what she would mean

for any one of them, but do they really

know how precious her mind's ascend

Would they still be so drawn if she&#...

Passion

He is the epitome of a man with 

a presence of mind to visit her dreams 

to experience their combined colors

A passion of the arts

Grand Rising Queen

Here we are as we wake under 

the stars amidst blue covers,

you on one side and me on another,

two different scenes, yet the same

atmosphere

In between are time and distance

but with the mind to always find you, 

with the mind that always beds us two,

hmm, the mind that always cuddles

the whisper, prolonging our now and

here

Let’s meditate, I’ll inhale while you

exhale, can you feel the life there?

Breathe and let it be your peace,

let me be your reason, somewheres

Let me be your reason asserted,

because the sound is an unfamiliarity 

to hold dear to your present and future

...

Read This Slowly

Read into me, feel my silken pages,

absent of a literal touch, but for

whatever the reason, present is still

your heart that smiles.

Kiss me now if you must while no one

is looking, a mystery in itself, but you

don’t need to ask your lips, how?

It will come as natural as smelling a

bouquet of your own roses, as simple

as the metaphor, ‘take my breath 

away right now!” Hmm

Read into me even more, let my 

timeless passages uplift your soul,

placing you closer within my attain.

Let every letter be moistened by 

your warm breath, Mm, if that 

isn’t what I’d call the softest rain.
