I Stand

I stand here feeling a bit wild
looking to be tamed
wanting your hands in my hair
to pull it back
so I look up at you
and see
the fire in your eyes
and I want to dance
with that fire
feel your fire
in me
lick me all over
oh yes
consume me

For I Love

Lessons taught.
Learning right from wrong
to walk a straight narrow path.
Never to divert…
Never to look at the other side
or else I will fall,
God forbid,
in their eyes.

Yet,
my soul craved to see,
to feel,
what was there.
The possibilities…

I started to look…
They beat me
They scared me
They tried to
shut
my voice…

For years I lived
below the surface
buried under layers.
Thinking I am living
Believing I am living
Living the way
they
wanted me to live…

One day
I started cracking…
I began to peel…
I asked “Who am I”
I had no answer
and I shook…
I wanted answers…

Now I am finding
answers
and I am still peeling
away…
I am finding out who
I am
not who THEY
wanted ME to be…

For I love as I KNOW how to love
and be who I WANT to be.

Another Question

When I touch you
will you feel the same…
Will your cheek have
the same texture
and your kiss
will it have that
familiar spark
that
never failed to
capture me
hold me?

Will we be different?
Better?
Who knows?
I’m a little frightened
but yet not enough
to not see you
again

I hope you meant it

A Question

A Question

Are you back for real
or
just for the moment?
Do I trust
that?
The sound of your voice rings
so true
It is like your caress on my cheek
your kiss on my lips
that made me
surrender
so easily
Yet
it has been a while
I have changed
but my heart still
beats
for you
still loves
for you
Let this be true
and not
just
a moments thought
but
if it is
I will go on…
I have to go on…
I choose to go on…

Firelight

I would dance in the firelight for
you……….twirling around………hips swaying in
time with the drums…….mimicking the ancient
rhythm………
My eyes shoot off sparks created by the flames that
seem to dance with me………my arms lift……..my
hands reach out……..my fingers beckon you to join
me in my dance…………..touch my
fingers……..take my hands
……….mmmm………yes………let me lead you in
my dance…….step into my shadows and let their
velvet warmth surround you………….yes…….come
into my arms………….pull the length of my body
against yours………..yes……….suckle from my
mouth and taken my essence
in……….yes……….make me your life
force………fuse your force with
mine…………..yes
……….yes…………yes…………..

MMMM…………………….I want to be in
your bed………………put me there. Use me
anyway you want…………..I ache………I am
hollow…….ease me………fill me up with
you…….come and take my pearl in your mouth and roll it around
your tongue. Quench your thirst with my
nectar…….Satisfy your hunger with my
flesh………..

Lay Still

In the late afternoon
I lay on my bed
I tremble
but not from the cold
My skin fevered, sensitive, craving
You have done this to me
You do this to me
a gasp escapes my lips
as your teeth nip my tender left breast
I feel the heat of your laugh on my skin
Your right hand squeezes my right breast
A moan escapes
A shudder
“Don’t move”
I try
It is hard
Fingers in my hair
along my face
on my lips
“Please kiss me”
“Don’t move”
I am not touched
nothing
Tears pool in my eyes
Then
Ice
Cold
but….Hot….
where it was never meant to be
but melts….
I melt
Then you kiss me
Oh God
You kiss me
You brought me over the blessed edge…

You Ask Me

You ask me…who am I? I am myself…I am every woman.
I sip the waters when I am parched. I eat the fruit to satisfy my hunger…….
I sleep when I tire and rise with the morning sun…
I dance to the music …I sing my own song…
And when I yearn…I yearn for you…my lover …my soul.
How you complete me…enhance me…stir up my fires and warm yourself at them.
I lay here next to you listening to you breathe as you sleep…….
your body still glistening from our joining…I see the smile on your lips and it is so hard for me
not to lean over and kiss you…
Instead…
I will stay here next to you in the glow of candles and watch you…my eyes reveling in the sight.
I am filled with joy…this man is mine.

You

Eyes locked
on eyes
then breaths
quickly drawn in
Lips pressed to lips
as mouths open
tongues glide
and
tangle…
tasting…
claiming…
Oh yes
Hands touching shoulders
then
arms around
pulling closer…
This I remember
Just hours later
I still taste you
in my mouth…
Feel you on me
In me…
Smell you on my skin
My body pulses
feeling moist still
Yes
You do this to me
You
make me weak kneed
You
burn me
You
Yes you…

Who Is

He brought me to the top of the mountain
and laid with me on a cloud
and with his kiss
bonded me to him.
There I touched heaven…

Now back on earth’s solid ground
with his scent still on my skin
and his taste lingering in my mouth
hours later I still tremble…

Who is this man
with eyes of the raging sea
who has planted deep within
my spirit…my body
seeds of fervid need?

Of him I know little
yet…
I am compelled to take his hand
and walk with him down this
unknown path
to embrace
this new world…
to be his willing acolyte…

Now…
My journey begins…

Unspoken

Desires in my mind
long to see the light of day
yet feel safest in the dark…
Sweet velvet covered dark…
You who fascinate me
tempt me
to feel these deeply hidden
unspoken desires…
wanton needs…
buried inside me..
firmly entrenched
covered in layers and layers
of dense gossamer.
Will you lift away each layer
strip them bare
coax them to my surface…
my conscious being?
Would you take said desires
and mold and shape them
to yours…
turning me into your willing,
panting vessel
that overflows with need?
Yes…please…do of what
you speak.
I tremble…
my breath short
as I look at you…
into you…
draw out of you
your deep….smoldering
desire…need.

Yes I am willing…
Take me…
Now…
