Always

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

A promise to myself

that I just cannot keep

to walk away or turn the other cheek

or  stop day-dreaming. Then it starts again

Always

It’s that subtle lilt within your voice

your tongue-twist of carefully crafted words

that scintillating, sliding glance

and there I go again, unravelling

Always

Then you’re feeling me

like I’m feeling your magnetic pull

like magic, you suddenly appear

Your pockets filled with tricks

Always

My head and heart cannot agree

about where I ought to  be

but before I change my mind

I’m in your arms entwined

Always

It’s that old devil called love again

Always

Still here

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

Still here

My heart beats for you

Red throbbing until it bursts

Spreads its map across your path

Even as you would race ahead

You come back to find your bed

Still here

I wait patiently for you

Orange fire flaming and burning

Lighting every corner of the land

Greeting you with a bright new day

Aroused, my love for you here to stay.

Still here

The chase

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

 

A seduction of words

The meandering images

Of a flooded swollen river

Caught up in your deluge

 

A blinding sandstorm cloud

Rolling, red desert storm

Left wandering, lost in direction

Beseiged and surrounded by you

 

Tides keep revolving and turning

Ebbing and flowing audaciously

Tempting invitation to dive in

To be swallowed for love of you

 

The mountains rise steeply ahead

Taunting, titillating to climb

Each step higher and higher still

Reaching peaks, smothered in clouds

 

In the falling mists of a rain forest

You ended the chase amidst trees

And lush leaves, elaborately laced

Finally caught in your embrace

 

Until the next chase…

 

 

I love all of you

Some people blow into your life

like a gust of wind, fanning flames

to live dangerously.

You have done that to me.

Some people glint on sun rays

bringing shining light and warmth,

filling your heart with love.

You’ve given that to me.

Some people drift in like soft rain

sprinkling your thirsty soul,

helping you feel whole again.

You’ve saturated me.

Some people glide and slide

skating in snow and on thin ice,

testing the adventure in you.

You’ve taken those risks with me.

Some people glow in the dark

shadowing moon- ambience’s light,

they serenade you with music’s delight,

You’ve sung those high notes to me.

Some people dress for changing weather

Teasing me in playing hide and seek,

they hang on to my every word

searching for my hidden truth.

I love all of you…

Just one kiss

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

Overnight

Very suddenly

Beyond completely

I’ve fallen

So in love with you

Have you fallen too?

Shuddering

In quiet suspense

As your lips touch mine

Wondering

Whether I can bear

A moment like this

Billowing

In the swell and swirl

Moving in rhythm

Frenzied rush

As we climb and soar

Heights not known before

Breathing

Erratic, in gasps

Bliss to feel like this

After just one kiss…

Condolences

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

Dressed in dark suits

All of them wearing dark shades,

Their obligation

Complete for the day.

It was a great funeral

Lots of people there.

Some came to greet you

Gave you a pat on the back,

For a job well done.

Did they understand

The pain you were going through?

Did they even care

What  the cause of her death was?

How long she’d been ill?

And what about you?

Did they truly understand

Your well crafted speech?

You spoke of your loss

The void, utter loneliness,

Of your love dying.

You cried out for help

But they did not hear.

Then they were all gone.

I felt your pain…I knew…

Yet still I love you…

I’ve travelled the world

I’ve landed in space

Still everywhere I see your face

I’ve admired the birds, flowers and oceans

Drifted in the  rush of flowing streams

Still I find you waiting  in my dreams

You have followed me wherever I have been

You shared in all that I have done, all I have seen

You’ve seen the paradoxes in me and I in you

Yet still…I love you

You got the best of me

This poem contains a hidden poem to give you a total of at least three poems 

You’ve given me the best years

of your life and I’ve given you mine too,

the best gifts ever any woman could

want or man deserve, it’s been blessed!

As I gaze down life’s road; most of it has

been smooth. You’ve given me the

best time of my life. There was no one

quite like you, to do it quite like you.

We’ve had problems like most people

do, but no cracks that could not be tarred.

You spoke to me with your heart and soul,

filled the need in me, made me feel whole.

Our music played in perfect harmony

you knew the words before I sang them.

Let’s toast to many years ahead and

pray to choose the right fork in the road.

Long– I’ll remember, as you will too,

the best time of my life with you!
