Heartbeat

Written for the patrons at the pub.

Within a single heartbeat
echoes of love
shape the very manner
in which we work
together.
 
Inwardly our minds turn
we listen to the cadence
of every romantic
thought that fills
our mind.
 
Our fervour reaches deep
into that place,
that oh so special place,
where body, soul and mind
become one.

Fantasy

Written for the visitors to the pub at Dverse. Enjoy. Feedback and criticism welcome!

A fantasy world
existing only for you and I.
No interruptions, no cares.
A longing glance, filled with love
 
A dream come true,
you allowed me to
be with you. To make you
happy is my
one true desire.
 
Whirling thoughts echo
around my head.
 
Laughter let loose
its frivolous sounds. In a world
existing for us alone.
 
A smile. A wink.
Playfully we look at each other
ignoring the beauty
of the world around us.
 
A warm embrace, a glass of wine
a crackling fire, the sound of rain
soft music fills the air.
A love so tender, so rich
this night can’t end.
 
A tear falls from your eye!
 
Why the sadness?
I hear you crying.
 
The dream is over,
fantasy evolves into reality.
 
You and I exist
only within
the deep recesses
of my sleeping mind.
 
I awaken, cold and alone.
tears stain my cheeks.
 
Wrapped in the cocoon
of my blankets, I try
to find you again.

Deliverance

 Written for the pub patrons at dversepoets

You seek release from
bondage, subjugation of
cold dark night.
 
Shaking shoulders, wracked
with grief over a love
that never existed, you cry
aloud, begging warmth and
intimacy to wind around
your forgotten soul.
 
I see you, your pain rests
on my heart.
I cry tears of sorrow,
your torment almost
too much to bear.
 
I come to liberate you
from your personal
hell.
 
I take you into my warmth,
cloak you with compassion
surround you with
something new.
 
Your mind is melded
within the depths of mine.
Our thoughts mingle,
jesting and playfully
prodding laughter out of
a darkened pit
 
Your voice traps
breath in my throat.
No songbird has sung
with such angelic tones
 
Your body is a canvas,
artist’s fingers are
brushes.
Swirling patterns of love
appear as if by magic
on your perfect skin.
 
Your kiss so sweet
soft and sensuous.
passion rises
with your touch.
 
My heart beats wildly,
sings rhapsodies of joy.
You discovered love.
My love.

January 24, 2013

I am writing. I am writing a fair bit. I have published a number of poems on my website this month, and I am proud of each of them. They have been received differently. One of them fell flat, and garnered no response online, and the verbal response was not great. Most people were shocked by the style, the darkness. It was not me, not my usual style of writing. Very true, but as with everything I publish, I like it. I understand that not everybody likes everything, and that's ok. The important thing is that I am writing. So far, 2013 has been very kind to my words and thoughts. And I hope to explore different styles, different themes and different words. It's what keeps it fresh.

A Whispered Glance

Posted for #OpenLinkNight at DVersePoets Pub

A whispered glance
that peeks out from your
downcast eyes becomes
a muted greeting.
 
Your voice is shrouded in silence,
as if the mystery of what you say
is to remain
only a thought.
 
Sshhh! Don't think aloud;
share what only we
see.
 
A look into the crystal ball
shows us the past
that doesn't matter,
and a future which
exists in our hopes
and dreams.
 
Shout from the heights!
Share our joy
with the skeptics and
naysayers. We win!
Love always wins.
 
I want the world to know
that you and I work.
Our love knows no bounds,
our desires and passions
grow with time.
 
But we're silent.
The stars allude to us
as their brightness fills
the midnight sky, yet
they refrain from falling
into the hearts of those
who need to hear our
profession of love.
 
But that glance,
the whispered glance
that brushes over
my heart tells me
everything I need to know.
 
You love me.
&
I love you.
