That Velvet Touch of Morning

That velvet touch of morning
skin alive though thoughts are still
the waking sun is warming some
and through the dark reveal
Little glimpse of light exempt
no judgment where you lay
so discreet for many sheets
upon them you have played
Though in the still of morning
play you do across her skin
kissing ever gently
all those places that I've been
To pour a thousand lines in rhyme
with time our meter kept
her chest to rise to fall although
she longs for more still yet
Stretching with the heat that comes
that too not far away
skin alive as thoughts contrive
and skillful fingers play
Novels made to serenade
as words on lips are forming
to heaven's glow we fade and go
that velvet touch of morning

Within A War Is Waging

Within a war is waging
waxing hot on silky skin
midnight on the covers
wherein lovers meet again
Heaven hot on hellish lips
to drift on dripping tides
awash upon the coming wave
that never quite subsides
Fire ascend as hearts begin
in joining rhythms beat
slick with sweat as silhouettes
are met in flickered heat
Furies fought in sheets we're caught
as fiery flames are raging
waxing hot on silky skin
within a war is waging

Polaroid

Smoky greys to fade away
though love we capture still
hid away from life's decay
til times of need reveal
Gone but not forgotten
pining yet for darker days
smiles derived from what's inside
these squared off smoky greys
Enraptured by those grainy lines
developed by our light
smoky greys to fade away
and drift into the night

Shadows On The Desert

Sun is setting on the desert
soon the night comes closing in
to whisper to the shadows
of the places that it's been
Speak of silk surrender
wrapping thoughts in cooling air
graceful lines are well defined
with time and tender care
Heaven's face with love embrace
outlined in night's caress
shadows on the desert
as the sun lies down to rest

Rustling Hearts Like Winded Trees

Brush of time in paint define
the rhyme of memories
sounds of raging rivers
rustling hearts like winded trees
Kiss from warming sun has come
to aging bones' delight
still here we find the past remind
that time knows not it's plight
Wisdom comes in waning sun
when skies are cold and gray
the brush of time in paint define
that nothing fades away

Drift In Moonlit Night

Moonlit night with stars ignite
adrift beneath your gaze
kaleidoscopes of beaming hopes
to dance in darkened sways
Shifting clouds as dreams sift down
and through the midnight shine
adrift on eyes that realize
the beauty of the mind
This broad expanse where dreams do dance
with hope and stars ignite
in dark with faith go prayers prayed
to drift in moonlit night

Upon The Still of Morning

Upon the still of morning
'fore the day has yet begun
a choice for sun or storming
as thoughts do reckless run
Eyes are slow in chasing
every glimpse of wonder grace
breath is calm and shallow
hallowed life to love's embrace
Serenity to speak to me
across the soulful span
breathing in as thoughts begin
to turn to tasks at hand
Everyday in dawning gray
a choice for sun or storming
thanking grace for life's embrace
upon the still of morning
