I Want to Feel

I want to feel your energy surge
as you move near to me, and all
the thunder in my heart pounding
out such violent sparks, as you pull
me by the chin, and softly beg me
once again to love you.

I want to feel your trembling hands
caress unspoken dark commands
that bring me to a point of bliss, at
which I fall into an abyss of surrender.

I want to feel the ecstasy of knowing
you’re inside of me, as if we two could
possibly be one. Running as a raging
stream, we rise and fall through all
my dreams of passion.

I want to feel your sated kiss, salty-
sweet, the one I’ve missed. A warm
and tender rhapsody, that fills the
height and breadth of me completely.

Aver

This heart cannot forsake you

As I embrace each memory

Floating through my mind

Warm as golden sunlight

Then cool as silver stars

Your touch as velvet fingers

Caresses my fevered brow

When deeply I inhale

Your enduring fragrance

Of sandalwood patchouli

Chanting sacred songs

To the god of all creation

As I disrobe to saunter

In the gardens of desire

Fledgling

Far beyond the lover you aspire yourself to be

My darling, my immortal, then again

I dare not speak what my mind whispers

As I assess the rough texture of your hands

Against this fledgling’s down

You caress and rock my body to and fro

With ache and passion, I surrender

As I give to you each breath

I exhale with pleasure as I near each tiny death

Only to rise inside your eyes so filled with stars

Cradle and Caress

 

I want to hold you

I want to kiss away your pain

Until you realize

You’ll never feel alone again

This constant craving

That makes us want to weep

That takes away our breath

And keeps us from our sleep

Will softly slip away

Into the quiet of the night

As I cradle you, my lover

Making everything alright

Our passion surges

Lifting us up high

To satisfy a need

As high so high, as sky

I want to hold you

Making everything alright

I want to cradle and caress

Until the morning light

My Solicitation

My solicitation

Your smile bathes my mood

In early morning light

Intention plants desire

To move my body forward

Leaning into your caress

As tender lips summon

An impatient heart to stir

I Sigh at the Thought

 

My mind wanders

To a small indentation

At the base of your spine

Where sunlight dances imploringly

Tracing prismatic ripples of desire

And I sigh at the thought

Of your catlike stretch

Rising to greet my kiss

And tender caress

Sweetly begging

For mercy
