Touch, Love, Live.

My body hums, my lips eager to breathe a gift of love. Can you see through the longing in the arch of my back and curl of my toes, the tension in my back blades? To nuzzle in the sling of your shoulder and neck I do remember.

The purring resonates and the whisper of your breath creates a moment so soft. Dark chocolate centres make me swhirl in their bounty of experience and call me unto you.

One little gesture, subtle language, and my body alights. I want to feel beautiful for me so it can radiate to you. I want to smile and laugh and be infectious to me and then recognized and desired by you.

I want to feel, I want to touch, I want to love.

Precious Perfume

I have a little bottle, it's just for you
And it has a perfect spot, your own perfect hue.
It's shaped just right and it's content reflects
A special light, a friendship, one with respect.

So within this precious glass is a personality all yours
Opportunity for connection- thoughts opening doors
In our minds there's room despite guarded emotions
For friends of all kinds...aromas, delicacies, devotions

Gluttony can be our demise, and some scents sting
But everything in good measure, pleasure it does bring
And so with that my cherished friend like perfume
I put you on the shelf sometimes and let life resume.

Stand Tall

Oh how can I tell you how I feel
When my open heart is so real
To stay out of the way of myself
Putting vulnerability on the top shelf

I love and want and desire all at once
My limitations, my fears I musn't denounce.
The best for you, the best of you I hope
The essence of love thought but never spoke

Without commitment, without tangled limbs
Fostering companionship is what we give
You've shown me through your eyes
What I've suspected and can now realize

Sometimes jumbled, sometimes blundered
Within your laugh and courage I am humbled
Sacred and revered our circle rounds strong
Wondering to what end this bond belongs

Please know I stand tall
With you, I see above it all

I am grateful for who you are
The little boy who's come so far.

Saturday Satisfaction

It's raining but I don't care
Feeling really great I do dare
To keep my spirit high and aware
My essence and light to the world I share.

Moments like these are important to imbibe
So many people, for this they do strive
Dramas and excuses often contrived
To deny new growth once life arrived

Audacious, bold and a dash of grace
Give me some room to show my face
Who wants to dance and forget the race
Gentle footprints all over the place.

Swirl and twirl arm and arm
Leave our mark with no harm
The world is ours the sun so warm
Prosperity, love and respect do swarm

The Backyard

Ah, the feel of soil on my hands
The dirt so moist and happy as planned
Worms squiggle and I stir the earth
Uncovered, slimming and widening its' girth.

The sun, the breeze, so light it seems
Trim out the old make room for new dreams
Little saplings, clipped dead branches, new shoots
Hellos from neighbours all day what a hoot!

Giving a new place your special stamp
Takes thought and enthusiasm to re-vamp
All the while you consider what you'll think
As time goes by and kids have grown in a blink

Inner glee at neighbourhood children
Running and tagging and kicking
Time to go home, clean up, call it a day
For another like this we pray!

Eclipse Sunrise

Where have you been, what have you done?
Our connection has been burnt by the sun
Eclipse or not life has changed
You feel very estranged

Hurt is covered by practical thinking
Why can't you tell me just start speaking
I love you and hurt you this I know
A desire for closeness again I can't sow

I feel your pain your lack of support
Please know I care, let me into your fort
I wonder, ponder and pray
We can have fun again some day.

Words can influence in ways of motion
Questioning those in degrees of devotion
I've left huge gaps and made other choices
Too late did I realize, my ears took other voices

If I'd followed my heart and let my song sing
A different joy I'd have for you to ring
Truth be known I couldn't find my tune
And hope dearly our care isn't in ruin.

Rise

Twinkling keys warm my emotions
Letting them flow is causing commotion
With my senses heightened & grated heart
I wonder how one day can be so a la cart.

Choose this or that it doesn't matter
Our lives are made up for things that scatter
To the wind, to the earth we do not know
How things will develop, how things will go

Determined sometimes there is no other way
To keep our truths and heartaches at bay
So I tell you keep your head held high
Dream your dreams, your ideas up to they sky

Take in all you can with the sorrow, with the grins
Know you're the best you can be will all the has-beens
For without the steps, the trips, the falls
You will grow: You will rise above it all.
