Within

Within

Passion ignited by lust

Burns quickly and brightly

But never lasts for long

To sustain love, you need more

You need intimacy

More than carnal knowledge

To know each other

Inside and out

Without a touch

Without a word

Within

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem

Just everyday normal, humdrum things

Coming and going about the day

Recalling faces and songs that we sing

Moving about and going away

Because people do that in their everyday lives

They pack up and move at the drop of a hat

What everyone longs for, everyone strives

Not to fall down, land flat on their back

For goals are important, as far as they go

To chart your own path and guide your own way

But not achievable in one's own life, so

Take time out to seize the day!

Hope Chest

A hope chest standing empty

By the foot of the bed

Brings to mind

Times long ago

Loves of yesteryear

Forgotten

But not completely lost

We collect trinkets

To start a new life

But what if we never start over?

Never begin anew?

Is hope lost forever?

Or is it left sitting

In an empty chest

At the foot of the bed?

Simple Touch

Sometimes a simple touch

Goes further than the

The best kiss

A good massage

Is worth its weight in gold

Gentle fingers

Not too pressing

Long and strong

Caressing, Stroking

Nimbly kneading

Pressing love

Into my heart

Through your hands

Beloved/Summons (A Conversation)

I long to see the sunshine.

              You see it every day.

I miss the sea and sand.

In your eyes, their colors lay.

I want to see my beloved,

I miss you just as much!

To walk with her hand and hand.

I miss your very touch!

My beloved, I summon you.

I hear and answer the call.

I call you home to stay.

Why would I wish to be away?

And once you have entered my view,

You are my world, my all!

I promise to be forever with you.

I have no reason to stray.
