ALL HER BUTTERFLIES, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, MARCH 29, 2023
all her butterflies
stilled their wings beneath his touch...
and blossomed for him
-----
speaking smiles and tears
her feelings come pouring out...
turns ash to embers
-----
poet wakens to
random strokes of red and gold...
dawn's sky becomes words
-----
when i'm in my dark
she's the fire and flame i seek...
sunrise to my night
-----
lone blossom unfolds
as silent poet watches...
becomes a poem
-----
ordinary things
extraordinary things...
when we're together
-----
sweet and gentle smile
touching me with love's starlight...
gleaming messages
-----
taught her to love him
learned she's lived without laughter...
that's his next challenge
-----
fears to acknowledge
words she reads so eagerly...
which touch her inside
-----
exchanging verses
in verbalistic foreplay...
making poetry
-----
what i would permit
that which you need to explore...
help you find yourself
neither blessing nor curse
merely a true act of love...
which does not bind you
and though others might
you and i won't call it sin...
simply name it love
-----
lascivious lass
reading ribald risqué rhymes...
secretly sighing
-----
fingers trace her lips
seeking her moist poetry...
words he wants to taste
-----
her desire's bow bent
she nocks her tiny arrow...
pleasure's dart shot free
-----
