Poem (untitled)


I can still feel my arms around you
Your arms around me, hands in my pockets
My face pressed against your neck
Inhaling your scent
The scent that still lingers on my clothes
It distracts me from my work
It gives me comfort
The way you hold me
The way you kiss my forehead
As if I am yours and only yours
The way you look at me
With those hazel eyes
The trust that they show me
I hope mine show the same
So much trust you place in me
It makes me crave more
Of your touch, of your words
I feel those words bubble up from my heart
Words I shouldn’t say,
Words that teeter me on the cliffs edge
I want to ask if you’re on the edge too
But my heart won’t let me
Cause we both know
Know that we don’t belong to another
But for only glimpses of time
Imperfect perfect glimpses
Of life

Apple (a poem)



I am the forbidden fruit
The one everyone wants
But no one wants
I do not lie
I am shiny and red as I am sweet
Enjoy all you want
But don’t throw me away
Don’t waste me on just a nibble
Savor my sweetness
For it is not poison, but passion
Passion makes me bloom
On the tree I radiate, beg to be picked
I am one to be savored, to be enjoyed
Not discarded to the ground
I am what you see
An apple, no more, no less
I do not lie
I do not hide behind leaves
My passion is true
Shinning out from my core
My passion glows, ripe for the picking
I am an apple, No more, no less
A forbidden fruit to some
Take a bite, don’t just nibble on me
Enjoy my sweetness
Savor the bite; enjoy my fruit down to the core
It is the sweetest
Fully enjoy the forbidden
Enjoy me for what I am
An apple, just an apple.

Butterfly Wings (a poem of mine)

So it's been a while, life has been busy.   Life has been life and I am happy.  I've had so many poems stuck in my head trying to get out for a while, this one pushed it's way in today and just had to be set free.  Enjoy. 

Butterfly Wings



Searching across the room
My heart flutters
Like butterfly wings
When I see you
You say my name
My heart flutters
Stops a beat
“Hello”
I say to you
My heart all a flutter
Quiet as a whisper
My voice
Like butterfly wings
All a flutter
In the wind
My heart catches
My breathe gasp
As you fingers flutter
To pull me close
Your lips glide over mine
 Nibbling at nectar
My heart flutters
Like butterfly wings
Your touch is to my skin
Furious
Fast
Like butterfly wings
Trying to stay
Above air
Gasping
For more air
You leave me
Gasping
Fluttering
With desire
For more nectar
You leave me
Fluttering
From the room
On butterfly wings.
