Poetry by

| Sun Rise Snow falls We're on our knees Your spirit calls Wanting to please The heat you sense in me With eyes big and brown Under gray skies I rise from the ground Slipping into your smile Gentle gusts of wind Whisper in the air This is destined Straying from the cave I stay with the light Each motion loosens Lightning into our night The sun we don't see Is beneath my chest Making you wet Even as snowflakes Melt on your breasts I'm held in your palm As the coming dawn Races time through night Stars twinkle to light Clouds part in space And we lie With a quickening pace Locked in our eyes A tightening embrace As we see the sun rise… |
| Dancing Moon I put my trust in her. All of the passion and hunger of my soul Is in the faith I give into her; Releasing until she is full and whole. Feeling our distance at night— Drinking light from afar— Reaching into our next glance— Seeing and feeling her behold my star— I see the girlish twinkle in her eye; The optimism in her shine and bouncy step Ignites a fire that burns and yearns to share with her Until there is just us left… With the ecstasy of a scream, With the comfort of an embrace, Within this dream I dance With the Moon in outerspace— |
| Fire & Ice Sometimes the world feels cold as ice Sometimes people replace nice With being callous When over zealous This can feel like crashing into an ice berg Embarrassed can’t find the right words. Then birds Fly in formations Just to represent the exclamation Of life and the glory of living Fueling a fire that is just too giving Shadows and spirits haunt the select few Deep into the night, and within, until nothing is new The world crashes into the mundane One questions how sane is sane And society is too much to bear Holding on to dear life to those few who care Those who may, or must, know. To confide Balances somewhat the inner self with the outside Spinning Gotten to the end of the fire and ice ride Remembering the Beginning Wondering how much of it was just inside— |
