Month: September 2015

She’s a temperamental Queen

Sometimes exacting her

Minions to follow her command

Before she displays a fleeting smile

Then she waxes lyrical in her charm

Suspending all who go in search of her,

In euphoric trance where time

Has no clock save the rising and

Setting of the sun

Even so, many seasons may happen

On a day,

where she sits in royal splendor

Ostentatious in her utterances

and Within the hour

she draws a veil over her face

Yes, I am slave to her,

but sometimes the court jester too

And what shall they say about you?

satin-silk ripples caressing my  skin

calm, lingering, lapping, lacing the shore

wide open stretches for you and me

time….take all the time you need

no rush, no push.

it’s different back home

where waves are impatient,

rising, falling, shoving, tumbling

turbulent, roughly-demanding waves

 keep coming! keep coming!

but on Love’s Beach there’s time

for play, languidly,longingly

there, there, keep it right there.

one more lap – one last lap!

Darkness enfolds

with featherlight touches

Breaths ascend

In staircase rushes

Momentous release

In effervescent gushes

Take fill of my wisdom, my dear

Hours and years of learning trials

Life’s true lessons, time’s healing

Joyful pains and seasonal rains,

Fill up your cup

Take fill of my happiness, my dear

It’s not happiness if I can’t share it

Captured in soul trinkets and bling

Minuets of song and dance routine

Fill up your treasure chest

Take fill of my Music, my dear

Versatile abundance for your delight

Violin’s Seductive haunting heights

Wild heartbeats of a warrior’s drum

Fill up your instrument

Take fill of my love, my dear

Its trembling tenderness and warmth

And its soft-sweet, soulful caress

Melt in passion’s burning fires with me

Fill up your chalice

Then my dear, take fill of a walk with me

Let’s gaze up as our spirits are set free
