With good intentions
I emptied my heart;
feelings and emotions flowed
like molten metal poured,
not knowing
will she be burned
or take pleasure
in it’s final form?
I wait;
smoke and spark
filling space and time
dissipating slowly.
I can see her
and wait again.
Burned or pleased?
Time, such an unforgiving force.
But she has lived for many years
in most inner sanctums;
a pourage of heart, emotion, and feelings
seasoned by all things important…
a feast of mind and body
feeding mind and body.
How can I not love her?
She lay before me
exquisite in every detail.
My senses ovewhelmed;
sight, smell, and touch
excite me.
I rush to taste the bounty
of her lips
and our tongues dance.
“Like the Sphinx
rising from the dead
a friendship rekindles
from the smoldering ashes of long ago
left unattended.”
New surfaces, skin and metal
accented with beads of moisture,
a thing of beauty,
no longer shimmer in the light;
both covered, clothing or rust
the luster hidden
not to be revealed.
My Winter’s Friend
Like white clouds viewed from above
stretching as far as the eye can see
puffy balls of cotton inviting
a playground for our imaginations
bringing back memories of our childhood dreams.
Older now… we still see
images of things pleasing
bringing smiles as we stare
finding refuge from the days toils.
A wintry landscape shows… revealing
white blankets… soft pillows
enhancing all it surrounds
a playground for our imaginations
memories and desires given new life.
A welcome mat, inviting all
so many ways to immerse one’s self
in the opportunities it offers.
The feel of its sting as it caresses us
a reprieve from the summer heat…
my winter friend… snow.

Sometimes I wish I had been less than truthful…”.Welcome to WordPress.com. After you read this, you should delete and write your own post, with a new title above.
