I see you standing there
Brown as Earth
Light is drawn to u
And I… I am drawn to sound
The sound of bare feet against cool wooden floors

The sound of your voice against my earlobes

What dominates your dreams?
What controls desire?
What ignites the fire?
What takes you higher?
What brings ecstasy to your fantasy.
Intensity to your sensuality.
What combines urgency, necessity, and exhibits complexity in my humanity.

Is it song?
Is it poem?
Is it candle light, the feeling of being light
Skin pressed tight, soft nibble, gentle bite
Bodies that fight and unite.

But u pass right by

A rose, a scent, a sigh

Mother Earth breathes,
Adjective and superlative cease to be definitive

Too sweet for words, too sweet to express
Too deep to formulate, too raw to communicate
Feelings and emotions suffocate, as I stare intently
Gaze directly in hateful anonymity at the brilliance
That is vanishing before my eyes
Step by step. Emptiness consumes.
Longing reverberates thru the hollow of me
I am as I was b4.

One of my favorite movies is “Love Jones” – I’m a romantic at heart and I love beautiful images.  This movie also showcases poetry and it inspired me to write this piece about love and loss.
