He left her there
pages of his heart
he could no longer read
yet beauty remained
age and desolation
never able
to destroy true love

The Letter
The letter
filled with words
too beautiful
for most
to even imagine
love wrought
in every a, b, and c
connecting to the next
spaces filled
with emotion
pauses of her heart
needing to breathe
lines
one after another
soul searching
what does not seem real
yet feels intensely right
ink pouring passion
onto unfeeling blank pages
wishing them
penetrating a heart willing
hoping he absorbs
what is far beyond
mere words

Beneath Her Eyes
He peeked
beneath aquamarine eyes
and found
a stretch of imagination
untethered desire
a soul holding secrets
storms never silenced
wings willing to soar
heartbeats dancing
whispers of passion
pockets full of love…
He found
the real her

Once Again
I felt you
once again
in the autumn winds
shivers and chills
like those which covered me
in nights spent
with your hands and lips
talking love
to every part of me
—
And I remember
and smile
dancing through
this air of us
knowing
you are touching me
once again

The Letter
I wrote the letter
every heartbeat
scribed in blue ink
my hand pouring forth
what no one else
would ever know
untethered dreams
we mused of
in naked nights
prayers of every tomorrow
talked out loud on aching skin
forever and afters
screamed in climaxing dances
where we invited each other’s mind
to hold hands
__
I wrote for days and nights
until our unfinished story
had no more to tell
then ripped it to shreds
sending our broken pieces
in a balloon
to where nowhere exists

Dare She?
A young woman…
two princes in her eyes…
one held her hand for years
another just touched it
__
Magical thrills coursed through veins
where never before
was such warmth and fire
streaming giddiness
ruled her every sigh and smile
songbirds filled her mornings
with music rivaling angelic choirs
—
Yet how could this be?
She had another love
steady and true
her comfort and rock
always there
always there
but that was it
simply there
not a magnetism
pulling every emotion
into a carnival whirlwind
—
Dare she chase
where flutters led her?
Dare she chance
a dance with erratic heartbeats?
Dare she follow
mysterious whisperings of her mind?
—
If she did not dare
longing uncertainty
and unsung love songs
would surely
wither her soul
and she would never forgive herself
for not being brave

Written for OctPoWriMo Day 3 Insecurity
Tender Invitation
The back of his hand
slowly caressed
down her cheek
his eyes
speaking sonnets of adoration
leaning in
his lips gently brushed
against hers
invitation
to what more he could offer
feel of his tender ways
creeping into her veins
reviving heartbeats
she had put to rest
their rhythm building
bubbling beneath her soul
like warm thrills
whispering to her
come
get on the ride
you won’t be disappointed
