deeper

want to travel deeper
feel and be you in here
join our essence roaming
pleasure tongues and moaning

riding tall embarkment
blazing big collisions
daring scary edges
bloody truth provisions

strokes of love and trust
muddy, wet and true
staring down the fear
gliding past the ruse

touch me with your stuff
let me have it full
i can take it rough
gentle has its pull

go with me to this unknown
come and feast the color
open days and magic shows
face us in the other

dizzy

dizzy from your hands
on my sides
go climbing
still snaking
so gently
and turning
heat is building
not knowing

dizzy from your laugh
in my ear
soft caressing
sound is smiling
feels shying
effect entwining
and daring
just living

dizzy from your all
on my skin
delight alighting
moments passing
soul possessing
time defying
heart is gliding
soft aligning

grassroots

going to my grassroots
what fears can i lay down
that no longer need
to fill my space
made clear for rest notes
to spin their song-filled ways
into long, hot summer days
where rain is not sadness
but cooling off
from layers that can be shed
so skin can feel
what’s simple and real

IN love

i am IN love.

this is where i am.

i am not looking for love. i am not wondering who loves me
and who i can love.

i am IN love.

i am smeared with love and smearing it everywhere i go.

it’s not a choice. it’s a revelation, a fact, an embarrassing gorgeous thrill,
a new way of being.

it’s all there is.

it’s not up for debate.

it comes out of every pore of my body, every thought i have,
everything i understand.

it’s for you and you and you.

take it or leave it. it doesn’t care.

it’s all powerful, all knowing, all seeing, all forgiving.

i have it. it has me. forever we will be. free.

love, me

joy haiku

while pain shared is halved

I feel you ripple through me

joy with you triples

life balls

your bitter bite emits sweet savor
your cold wind blows warm glow
your distraction clears room to seek
your fear unearths courage

turn the balls of life’s experience

disdain eases to attention,
to curiosity, then willingness,
to abandon, joy, love and freedom.

turn another life ball
confusion creeps to refusal, to stubbornness,
resistance, lack, distraction,
to maybe, why not, possibility,
attempt, interest, refinement, expertise.

you and i are everything.
and still specific.

so now. i can forgive you. i can forgive me.
i can love you.

like

like water on a desert island
like lotion on a sunburn
like sleep after an all-nighter
like spaghetti after a fast
like chocolate cake and ice cream (after a diet)
like real whipped cream after the cheap stuff
like the first bite of steaming popovers at brunch
like diving in fresh pillows after a long day
like mint and ice cubes in 95º weather
like the first sip of a superior wine
like the moon rippling on a patent leather river
like the brush of soft fur on my skin
like the burn of hard liquor going through me
like a sea of possibilities
is kissing you

love

powerful brink
leading to me
expansive view
forever free

i am for you
i am for me
simple new breath
forever free

love with no bind
rips through my veins
witness my tears
kissing my pain

rich inner life
blooms in my heart
burns me with love
radiant start

love is the force
calm and the storm
shows me the way
grants me its form

breaking down walls
ancient release
moving and still
love equals peace

love haiku

how pure is my heart

soaring past the day and night

it settles on love

love rhythms

for gabrielle

dancing through worlds
you show me how
i don’t feel ready
you say it’s now

dancing to see
this life’s a dream
time to wake up
your soul’s sunbeam

dancing to be
simple and true
your feet quick guide
paths that renew

dancing to feel
never alone
ever creating
tribe full of home

dancing to know
way beyond here
we all are part
love squishes fear

dancing to love
you’re a brave start
glorious thanks
you’ve grown my heart

my imperfect life

this is my imperfect life
how i love my imperfect life
how my imperfect life moves me
moves through me
moves for me
moves with me
challenges me
teaches me
to accept the imperfections and challenges of others
to be gentle with our stumblings
we are weary
we are strong
we grasp
we glide
i love your uncertainty, your searching
and your grace
all the things you think are wrong
are tokens i hold close to my heart
when you do well, i rejoice
when you fail, i relate
when you hurt me, i cry and feel pain
thank god i can feel all of this
this learning, winding road takes me

to my heart

thank you

night haiku

listen to color

feel the pain and love and hope

you are my haiku

red

red is blatant.
red wants to turn into fuchsia
and be hot and shy at the same time.
red is a BIG woman.
red is juice dripping down chins and fingers
and slurping laughing crying jumping
rude beyond belief.
red is sandwiched between
control and patience,
light and dark.
red burns through my heart
and bursts into love for everyone
big and messy and free.

ribbons

last night so softly as i slept
and thought that i was dreaming
in my bed silently you crept
and wound around my seeming

deep and deep in dreams as i went
down in my self and below
oceans’ comfort, visions and scent
thrashed my body and pillow

between the worlds of here and there
flowed ribbons laced with your air
encircling downtime laissez-faire
bright land with terrain so rare

so on we went who knows how long
locked in the grip of our trance
this resting fitful new hit song
rocked by the wave of our dance

at day awake calm air lies still
fresh spirit aware and glad
patient yet with fever until
turbulent night can be had

take your time

take your time my favored thought
take me at your leisure
ravish my exuberance
languish in this pleasure

you’ve here arrived inside my head
and i am yours to ponder
now cross the path where passion led
that’s ever winding fonder

no rush at all should cause concern
though your own heart does race
ideas of you make my skin burn
entranced at every pace

then inside you when we align
come find me here and smiling
be quick or slow yet not confined
forever yours, beguiling

tumbling

thoughts of you come tumbling down
jostle my balance all around town
carrying smiles with secret allure
places within me starting to purr

wondering wondrousness who might you be
thrilled with the fact that your form is a he
yearning to know and to see and to touch
wanting to give, to receive and be much

random encounter with careful laid plans
brings to my entry this beautiful man
welcome adventure is coming to pass
spilling lush alchemy into my glass

your molten brew entangles my being
closing my eyes yet truly now seeing
simple gifts of touch and time
words fall short; this part’s sublime

until the day we part

now my thoughts are laced with you
strewn with your DNA
gladly disheveled and paced with you
woven and wrapped your way

my focus averted in fits and starts
broken with stabs of your being
i wander amidst small daily tasks
and drink in these moments of feeling

no notes of sweet sorrow to read and reread
no beeps in my mail to delete
just awful cold silence that lingers and singes
sings truth of lost hopes now replete

the thought of you has worn a groove
your touch has graced my heart
with joy that pain cannot remove
until the day we part

valentine

to my dear valentines,

i love you for your searching
i love you for your uncertainty
i love you for your feelings
i love you for your intelligence
i love you for your frustrations
i love you for your laughter
i love you for your anger
i love you for sharing this life with me
i love you for existing
i love you for ever

love, me

vivid blue

see you in a vivid blue
hear you as a funky tune
taste you swirling deep fondue
touch you soft and strong and true

feel you as caressing breeze
sense you as the best of sleaze
might surprise you with a tease
want to sting you and to please

whirling twirling luscious dance
rich aromas warm romance
life of focus and of chance
beckons with your gorgeous stance

You Don’t Stand a Chance, Valentine

I’m greedy
I’m taking over
Blanketing everyone and everything
I’m ravenous
And content, cocky, in charge
I can’t get enough
Of you
And you and you and you
I’m unstoppable, covetous
I’m unable to be contained
I’m moving, swirling
Always running to catch you
I’m expanding, multiplying
Sneaking around every corner
I can find you wherever you go
I see you in the dark
I never sleep
I’m always ready for you
You might as well accept
I’m out to get you
You don’t stand a chance
Against me
Come willing or reluctant
It doesn’t matter
I’m love
And love always wins

your touch

your touch is so hot
the air is so cold
i want you a lot
my senses unfold

your touch is so hot
the air is so cold
this thing that you’ve got
i thrill to behold

your touch is so hot
the air is so cold
our passion is not
ashamed to be bold

your touch is so hot
the air is so cold
i feel it a lot
deep pleasure foretold
