Yearning

Daydreaming
As I wander hopelessly in this maze
Counting
Each minute
Each hour
Each day
Feelings of yearning
Burn deep inside
An unquenchable thirst
To Love
To touch
To taste
To caress
To become one with you
New desires
Whispered
Wanted
Explored
Fulfilled
Entwined together as we
Tumble into a realm of unbridled ecstasy
Our love bursting
Covering us
Forever.
.

A Shell of the Sea

Waves rolling rhythmically
Seductively towards me
A twinkle caught my eye
I glimpsed you
Partially covered
Your shyness was on display for the world
Yet I was transfixed as you slowly revealed yourself to me.

A strange desire
A longing
A need
Feelings stirred like that first morning cup of coffee
You were everything to me
For that brief moment in time.

The people, the waves, the world
Encumbrances to my happiness now
As
Love possessed me
Love urged me
My heart, my head
Hurting, spinning
Suddenly my world out of control.

I stared at you
Being caressed
Being loved
Being wanted
The sea showing me everything about you

A child’s voice rose above it all
Snapping me back
As the sound of laughter and joy
Echoed around.

I looked again and you were gone
The sand had shifted
The sea had calmed
And nature was once again at peace.

Spilled Milk

A journey that flows 
Tantalizing and Mesmerizing 

Until this tranquil karma envelops us.

Paused as I wake

Your rhythmic breathing calls me

Floating

As I am reeled back into your sphere.

Perfect symmetry awaits 

I yearn for it 

Desire it more than anything 

Yet

 A moment

A glimpse 

Something 

Suddenly we are 

Stretching 

Waking 

Preparing for

Real life. 

Sweet

Sun beats down 

My mind drfits, images of you 

You broke my heart 

Yet nothing has changed 

You are the only one.

Children play

Lovers frolic at the beach 

Waves rhythmically caress the sand 

And my thoughts return

You are the only one.

Strap hanging, stealing furtive glances

Hoping to lose myself 

In those green eyes

Again

Days pass like clockwork 

You are the only one.

Move on

Move out 

Move over 

Renew

Endless words given 

Like inappropriate birthday presents

Nothing ever changes

You are the only one

For me.

Let Me

Holding hands

Sun setting

Laughing together 

Has this ever felt better ?

‘Cos all I want to do is dance.

Thoughts and feelings 

Overwhelming me 

Always when I see you

Could this be real?

‘Cos all I want to do is dance.

Anticipating 

Your kiss, your touch 

Erotic whispers 

Make this feel real 

‘Cos all I want to do is dance.

Time stops

Bouncing with the beat 

As we become one 

With the crowd 

Never want us to stop

‘Cos all I want to do is dance.

The Price is Right.

 

Butterflies

As I wait

For your command.

 

Harbored secrets

Slink among the shadows

Lest the light

Reveal all.

 

Slight vibration signals my departure

And arrival

Outside this door.

 

Expertly

You appraise and pull me inside

Without fanfare

Or greeting

Or introduction

This is just business.

 

Before a word

You fingers reach 

Roughly 

Expertly

This time is my money 

And your clock already started.

 

Counting the notes

Your mouth 

Holding court 

Sits in judgement

Urging

Demanding

My fullest attention.

 

Yet

As I look down

Feeling 

Unsure and Inhibited

My excuses rain down upon you

Different 

This must be 

Unexpected

Unforeseen

And unwelcome.

 

There is only one chance

Here

Now

Not later,

Not tomorrow,

Never again.

 

Embarrassed mumbling 

Ignored by you

Mean nothing to you

As your phone rings

Fills the room

My head 

My essence

A nightmare maybe

Until I see your eyes

Dismissing me

Urging a different action now

As the door slams shut.

 

What now?

Far From The Madding Crowd

Alone.

Acutely aware of everything
Retreating inside
Feels reassuring
Heightens every sense
Even as inactivity
Stomps around your room.

A not so gentle reminder
That you are summoned
To be judged accordingly
Even though
You just want to
Breathe.

A single breath
Would release these bindings
Let you open that window
To find
Who owns that desperate cry
That will not leave you

Alone.

Cake Never Tasted This Good

Words
Fail to convey
My feelings for you
On this day,
Which is always
Your day.

Balloons and Cake
Yes,  lots of cake
Candles too
Make up the day
As family and friends
Laugh with you
Regale you
Cherish you
And always
Love you.

So enjoy your day
Take time for yourself
Recharge and Relax
For tomorrow
Comes too quickly.

 

Remember Me

Here I am
Standing around, feeling lost
Eyeing people in this crowd
All packed in and crushed together
Lights popping, music so loud.
Are you in here, like you said
For you are the only key
But here I see nothing that I want
Not even a smile
From someone, anyone
What’s in here for me?

Did you remember
What you whispered to me last night.

I hesitate at the bar, what should I order

Scared to be wrong

Scared to be right

Scared to even think

Noise level heading upwards

Useless without you

Need some air, just to be able to get through this moment.

Did you remember

What you whispered to me last night.

Nerves or steel

But, I’m no Superman
More like a third wheel to you

When your friends are over

Laughing and joking

It’s all about me,

Peeling away my feeling of bliss

Fingers prodding and poking

But they all know

You won’t even let me taste a kiss.

Did you remember

What you whispered to me last night.

Leaving this place
My shoulders rise and slump
Screw that crowd

With their out of time fist pumps.

No one cares about me now

I won’t even glance behind me
In case I see him snicker

Standing next to you

Knowing that you are now lost forever.

You never remembered

What you whispered to  me last night.

Momentary Lapse in Concentration

Thinking aloud is never a good thing
And being alone gets too noisy
You make life complicated
But there I am fretting each time I hear my phone ring.

Walking, wandering, aimless thoughts always on my mind
I want a purpose, a reason to keep walking
Instead of living like I’m always caught off guard
By your messages
Am I just another of your scribbled designs
To be crumpled up and discarded
At your whim
Do you see me laughing now.

Let’s go away, take a holiday, leave all this behind
Explore, conquer
Step onto fresh grass
Screw the daily grind that we share
Computers, smart phones, endless texts
I just want to have a blank canvas
To laugh and sing
Be silly
No boundaries
How do we get that elusive thing
Into our lives now
Rather than me feeling like an outcast.

Let the beat drop and feel the music
If you give in to this
I can promise you bliss forever and a day
Just say it
Or whisper it
I want to hear you say yes.
