Branded Innocence: Their Living Poetry

Hold her as if unafraid

and bring your hands

unobstructed into sight.

Threads of cascading Auburn

upon freckled skin

Dare to touch, Dare to delight

paralyzed to give in

A fit perfected

sculpted by Highest hands,

she rests willingly.

Overwrought slender digits

find supple haven seeding

Passion flaring, Ardor churning

heart and soul, yearning

Under glistening blanket
encapsulated by whistling light
slipping into shadow.
Through piercing Mahogany
and the glister of rime,
he quivers electrified
as touching desires stir hurriedly

Consummate proportions
skin silken smooth
dominion over the curves.
Exchanging buoyant force
upon dewy fixations crowned
Heavy breathing, Barely breathing
An idolatry set ablaze

Lines of Lust
inhaled depravity
Take my breath away.
This beauteous illusion
upon broken mantles poised,
Don't speak it, no utterance...

I'm in love with you!

Let Creation Set You Free: Nostalgia is Good for the Soul

Sometimes, nostalgia brings back feelings from the torpor of the underworld and other times it amplifies the seedlings nestling quietly in the window box. Clearing my craft area brought me this gem from over a decade ago when I was selected to represent my school in a statewide poetry competition. I was by no means my first published poem, nor my last. What's interesting to see are the techniques I was exploring. Rhyme was obviously one. It's also nice to see how one has grown, but also, how one has remained the same. 

Nostalgia: a gift from G-d. 

Illusion in Hawaii's Sky

Stretching across the dismal skies

Vivid colors in the darkest of eyes

A double ray, a unique delight

is within my broken and blurred sight

Kissing the waves of the open sea

Gently caressing the swaying tree

Warming the heart of the ocean blue

In majestic lands of beautiful hues

Romance is ignited by its amazing sight

Passion unfurled by its summer night

Its beauty was a born in Aurora's grace

Dispering from the heavens at a bewildering pace
