        Flower of Romance (June 2005)

        Flower of Romance
        Wilting on the kitchen counter
        It's a passing memory
        Of an intimate encounter

        See it wilt and dry up
        A memory of a another lover
        The fun is gone and a reminder
        You must find another

        Flower of Romance
        You pale to the Flower of Love
        It wraps around your heart
        And fits you like a glove

        It doesn't dazzle
        Or shine bright light
        It sits there for you
        In the quiet of night

        When you close your eyes
        And look inside of you
        The Flower of Love
        Will bloom all that is true.

        Romance will give
        Thrills and excitement
        Wines and dines you
        Take you back to the apartment

        Love is there for you
        All through the depths
        Holding your hand
        When you take that last breath

        O Flower of Romance
        Petals dropping, One by one
        As do the givers
        As they set into the sun.

        When Two is One (Nov 2005)

        As they enter the room
                  two      stand         alone
        Separate they are,         but...
          Together they come

        hand touching hand
        leg touching leg
        mouth on mouth.
            hand on leg
        mouth on breast

        their orbs of existence
        push against each other
        like two magnets of like poles
                separate,
                              distinct,              repelling
        Separate         until the moment
        when they conjoin.

        Man in woman,
          woman around man
        pulled together
        like the same two magnets
                  NOW
        of opposite poles.

        For the two is now one
          There is only one orb
                melded, fused, blended
                energy dances, bodies sway
                   pulsing in togetherness
                undulating waves confirm
        their unity in energy of life

        They lie down,
        side by side....
        Breathless
        For this was their journey
        and now they        rest!

        slowly, mercurially, they separate
        Back into two orbs of existence
        side            by             side.
        the one has once again become two.
        until it is time to join once more.

        Around the Fire.    (Aug 2005)

        Around the fire we all dance
         Drums pounding, bodies moving
          It took an eye, it took a glance

        The feel of energy surging up
        Closer we moved to each other
        To share some wine from a cup

        You have come from some pain
        Broken relationships, an ex-spouse
        The story with me, just the same.

        Two lonely hearts in search of comfort
        Embrace each other, holding hands
        The grins of mischief and the sort.

        We embrace and we caress
        And fall to the bed, clothes removed
        Strewn about oh what a mess.

        The intimate pleasure to dull the pain
         Connectedness, conjoined in bed
         It is now when we feel the most sane.

        Then it is time to retire for the night
        Until tomorrow when sun goes down
        And we dance to drums at night.

        Around the fire we all dance
        Drums pounding, bodies moving
        It took a hug, it took a glance…

        Quiet Time (Sept 2005)

        In my mind,
                The quiet time,
        To look and reflect,
                To try to unwind.

        Ruminate about life
        And it's inner meaning
        Friends and foes
                And all those inbetweenies

        Time to prune
                Cut the dead wood
        Celebrate life
                As we all should

        It's all about cycles
                The ebb and flow
        Life's ups and downs
                That make us grow

        Forget the anger
                Who needs hate
        Look to happiness
                And you'll feel great

        Call friends, Call family
                Don't let them go
        Love your children
                And let them know

        For change is certain
                And it will come
        But from truth and love
                You must not run.

        For when we die
                There's quiet time
        To look back
                And to rewind

                The Kiss (Oct. 2004)

                Our lips
                Moist contact
                pressure, tingling
                electrical chills

                auric strands intertwine
                ecstasy, awakening
                heart pounding
                our lips.

Two voices (Oct 2005)

Two voices connect in the void,
Lost in the vacuum of technology
Can they touch?
        Can they connect?

Lonely
                   Space
        Distance
                    Unknown
Unseen

Yet the hearts can feel their way
        The mind can wander
                Moving to its mark
                                  Approaching

Yes, there is warmth in the void
There is heart to the voice
Yes, feel it, connect with it, merge with it.

Will distance shorten?
Will the orbs of formless bodies take shape?
Will the two hearts beat side by side?

Uncertainty
                          Longing
        Desire
                                Tears
Urge

Time will tell, only time will tell
Satisfied they connect in the void
Two voices remain that for now.

        Silly Love Poem (Oct. 1999)

        My Angel, my angle is this
        a kiss, not to miss
        hit your lips, hands on hips
        touch your face, any place
        taste your flesh, see-through mesh,
        hugs, tugs on rugs, snug like bugs
        me and you, that makes two.

        Your Heart Beats By My Side
        (June 2005) A poem for friend's loss.

        You are beside me when I sleep
        Your heart beats by my side.
        The comfort of your embrace

        Even when you were away
        Your heart beats by my side.
        And I long for your return

        I look to your warm embrace so
        Your heart beats by my side.
        To be together again

        Although, now you're just a memory
        Your heart still beats by my side.
        Until the end of time.

        Sun Light (Oct 20004)

        The warmth of your hugs
        removes the empty coldness
        left in my heart from the dungeon
        in which I have locked it in.

        Your sweet caress is like a painter
        who draws on the canvas which
        is me and it colours me with your love
        and radiant warmth.

        I must draw the drapes at night,
        lest the sun light from your smile
        illuminate the street and deny
        the others of their sleep.

        Bathe me in you, oh sweet sunshine
        for it is with you that I can see where
        I need to be and where I need to go.

Poesia

La poesia dell'amore
E tante volte scritto con mal del cuore.
Tante sono scritte della gioia, dell'unione
Ma e proprio sempre di causa di passione

Scriva dei baci - mani sopra pelle
Cose che succede adesso
o cose che non sono successo
A fin di conti sempre batte al meno un cuore
Ma e meglio si sono due insieme senza sistema
Infagottati senza direzione batte
e batte di buon umore,
batte le parole con il amore
meglio di quelle triste ma tutte due io lo viste.

Questa e la storia delle parole di pena e di gioia.
E devo continuare anche se non ho voglia
Perché senza amore non batte il cuore.

Of lips and wine (Nov 2006)

The anticipation of the taste
I look at the vessel in front of me and
I see your lips.
Like a glass of ruby red wine, waiting to touch my mouth

I bring the glass close and I feel the moistness
The essence, the flavour
Cold glass turns into warm succulent flesh

I let the sweetness of your tongue roll over mine
And swirl inside me as I swallow the nectar of the goddess.

Like a connoisseur, I savour all the elements,
all the sensations, as they run to my head bringing about a
stimulating swirl of elation.

I pull back and look to my glass and look up
to see you standing across the room.

We exchange a smile.
