Mine

Stretching

Inching closer and closer

Cast your glances upon me

And watch them cascade

Across my skin

The art of seduction

Never looked so fine

Kisses so tender,

But your thoughts show me

You’re mine.

Let’s See The World

A journey, just for you and me?

I never thought I would get to see

The world, with you holding my hand

Guiding me for my first time on new land

And I’ve never felt so great.

 

I’ve seen places I never thought I would

While trying things I never thought I could

All the while with you by my side

Joining me for my wildest ride

And I’ve never felt so free.

 

I didn’t know what I would feel

Being this far from home, but I feel so real

This new world, so liberating and free

Has allowed you to see the real me

And I’ve never felt more at ease.

Vibrations

Humming in my ears

Traveled there through

Time, space, air

Originated from your throat

Produced by your mind

A long, drawn out process

Written down on paper

Maybe power points.

I’m sorry to say

Your efforts are wasted

The vibrations that I’m hearing

Are nothing more than static

Although I’m trying

I cannot listen.

Coffee With A Friend

“It’s so good to see you-

You look great!

More importantly, you look happy.”

You agree with a suspicious and silent nod

But a smile turns up the corners of your mouth

As you take a sip from your coffee

And the desirous heat from your mug

Accentuates your blushing cheeks

Instead of hiding them.

You take an exaggerated sigh in preparation

Then begin to tell me your latest story.

Sea Foam Bubbles

Pants rolled up and pushed up

Struggling to hold their place around my knees

As we walked side by side

With sand seeping through the holes between our toes

And you looked at me with a smile in your eyes

And shook your head at my childish play-

Feeling at home for the first time in years

I ran out into the ocean but it wanted to keep me there-

The salt clinging to my jeans

Made my body heavy in the frigid water

As you watched me, you in the sand still smiling

And I struggling to get back to you;

Until the ocean sent a wave that carried me back to shore

And chased me away from its edge

Leaving nothing but a trace of the sea foam bubbles at my heels

And you.

A Year In Review

There were times both happy and sad

Sometimes we were even mad

But you were always by my side

Buckling me in for the long ride.

We took a trip just you and I

With views that made me weep and sigh

And filled my heart with memories

As we looked out over the cold dark seas

Wondering about all the things to come

Leading us back to where we came from.

Then we hit a downward slope

I didn’t know how we could cope

I suffered through pain and being ill

But this year will be better still.
