passionate wonder awakens (poem)
lying in the pre-dawn quiet wondering
if your steady shallow breathing is untroubled sleep
or a wandering mind prone to thoughts of our nakedness
like mine is
blissfully knowing the only thing keeping
us from each other and our physical ecstasy
is allowing time to decide who will make the first move
because once we begin we both know we can't stop
until we've topped the world
and come back down to earth in breathless abandon
sweaty and satisfied and comfortably weary
tangled and peaceful
welcoming the dawn is a treasure
we discover together again everytime
our bodies and minds entwine all of our senses
passionate wonder awakens
ships in bottles (poem)
her love's soft and quiet
shy like ships in bottles
a benevolent voyage to the middle of me
ascertaining a magnetic togetherness
her voice weeps like a willow
a falling footstep cadence
my hope hangs patiently
on the edge of her blossoming lips
her eyes are as shy as a midnight shadow
and deeper than the black hole
beyond the last galaxy where i wait
to catch a fleeting glimpse of forever
her life is my joy
a creation beyond comprehension
the spirit's redeeming grace
my abundant gratitude is her salvation
