Romance de Mots


Allow me to paint you under passion
With words and syllables coloured
By the searing heat of
Soft fingertips
Resting on lips
Splashing Sounds of you
On the canvas of ears                
Deaf to all but your breathing
Ssshhhhhh…..

Pleasssssse
Don't leave me
Quivering wanton...
Seething.
Wet your digits with the medium that
My passion so copiously provides
And paint my world red!
Set me on fire
Assault me with deviously devised colloquy
Demanding the culmination of my desire.
Crawl, climb, thrust your monumentally resplendent
Presence into my eager psyche
I will only beg if you don't stop giving
Until all my thoughts are gravid of us and you
And the colours we paint with our words becomes more than a thought
It becomes truth

Call to me with your Earthsong, Gaia
Cause you’re the mother of my thoughts
The muse to my words
I speak
Compromising myself to your whim
A slave to your mindscape
Whip me, lick me with every device of your literary worth
Till every crevice and curve of your landscape i learn
Intimately
Your symmetry provides the basis of your beauty
Stirring the lust nurtured by this provocative sensuality
Driving me to bend you over to my will and fill you over and over
With liquid concepts of unadulterated enlightenment
Vibe with me
Let us resonate like we’re one being
Tempt me with unspoken promises
Calculated gestures and voluminous silence
Grant me seamless entry into your personal spaces
That we may reach that peak
Where we might speak through emotions, light and life

(together)
I want you...
To...
chorus....
with me...

Keying notes till our swirling symphony reaches a crescendo
Of planets, moons and suns colliding
Grasp me tightly
For I feel myself slipping.....

Never fear to release, my sweet!
Never fear slipping.
I was made for this.
To your essence I’m fiercely gripping.
I Relish the strong strokes of your brush dipping
Into my passion,

Sucking that cosmic ink for the stylus of my consciousness
Every sweeping movement
A kanji in the haiku
Stained across the virgin sheet of your being
I submerge into your existence with no regard to breathing
For I am listening....I am listening
To the coming of your tide,
The coming of your stream
Condensing into a singularity
With such clarity
Challenging

Daring to reach past places where suns and moons reside....
To where we paint galaxies of our ecstasy weaving in and out … in and out … 
In and out of time!
And I will
Vibrate..
On the
Frequency
That is
You.
Every Cosine and sine in sync - Juste nous deux
I Promise you I will pirouette on every note and treble clef.
I will join you on every journey you wish to take my mind’s eye.
I will plead for you to spread your wings and teach me to fly.
I will never beg you to stop, I will not harbour fear.
Reaching so high until I wear the stars in my hair.
And they will leave streaks of silvery wisdom there.
My love...
If these word are yours and you are mine there is no limit predicting where the seeds of our fearlessness will preside.

Shhh
Not another word
Not another whispered sigh
Every sound spent
Save the pursing of lips
And the placing of kiss upon Fate’s fair cheeks...

A Mutual Respect


Gender equality

A mutual respect

Its not something that needs to be spoken of between us
Not after all this time
Even when it was no time at all
It was there
Always there
No fancy words or gifts necessary
But they are welcomed
Just the same as the shy smile, the gentle touch, the knowing look
It sings within the tone of your voice when you call my name
When I lean on you and your big little shoulders bear the strain
You’re just my height even though you’re 18 inches shorter
And my jaw can testify
You’re one hell of a fighter

You give as much as you get
Setting the example for me and ours
Your back set straight
But let me help you with that
You can rest besides me I’ll stave off the attacks
Of a relentless condescending facetious world
Come on babes, rest, put your feet up today
You’ve been carrying us all the while
Allow me to bear you the rest of the way

Between you and me resides reciprocity
Truth, understanding, love and respect
Truth understanding, love and respect

Its not something that needs to be spoken between us
But its something that needs to be spoken to them
Within you and me we’ve achieved our zen
Reciprocity, love and respect
Let’s bring the truth to them

Haiku - Ichi


Waves on beach crashing
Prayers and song clashing into
Airy still spaces


Kurasshubīchi no nami
Ni gekitotsu inori to uta
Earī mada supēsu
