Meteor

I sleep in a cashmere sweater

Under a cloud of down.

My bed is an island of peace;

My life is a wild West town.

My day moves like a meteor

Blasting through inner space.

I try to put on the brakes

And get home to my quiet place.

I leap past those moments to savor,

My eyes ache to linger on love

Of God’s beauties small and mundane

To the glory of heavens above.

I am awed by the moon and the sunset,

Impressed by the wind and soft rain.

Breathless, I observe all the faces

Revealed in their joy and their pain. Unfinished ode.

No Fear of Flying

Collie dog hair, a flash of blue,

Invitational voice, an impression of you.

Words. What words? The unspoken few

Forged a place in my mind - And stuck like glue.

An occasional thought, a fantasy

Invasion of dreams. Who can this be?

Questions unanswered. Set my mind free

Of persona defined by my imagery.

Over, under, over, on top

Spiral through clouds, laughter non-stop.

Tossed on the waves of courting bliss,

Skin flushed with passion

At each tender kiss.

Wake with a smile, oh please don’t go.

Keep my eyes closed. Exit slow.

Sylvan sylph of my slumber, Return this night.

Our tickets are stamped. And ready for flight.

To the moon you say on the wings of love.

Meld our souls gently. We fit like a glove.

Upward archangel, I’ll cling by your side,

To the heaven of heavens

With you as my guide.

Just One More

Your first touch so gentle,

The evening we met,

Offering your hand

To get over the step.

Then in the car

For the second time,

Driving back after dinner,

Your hand found mine.

Your first kiss was magic

A secret key

That unlocked a passion

Inside of me.

Then a flood of kisses,

Caresses so dear,

My lips on your lips,

On your cheek,

On your ear,

Your forehead, your neck

And back to your nose.

Your chest and your chin.

Did I miss your toes?

Your arms around me

And mine around you.

Laughing and hugging,

The hours just flew.

Kiss after kiss,

Unlike each one before,

Left my lips longing

For just one more. To TRE
