 beat of rhythm thrust of thigh

dancer in firelight as i,

entranced, enthralled, on edge of sin,

watch her wicked dance begin

the tempo rises, feet a blur

till all that i can see is her

stripped naked by my burning gaze

burnished by the campfire's blaze

her breasts and hips in constant motion

waves upon desire's deep ocean

a riptide i cannot deny

a siren call i'll not defy,

for sake of love i'll take the chance,

join her in her fervid dance,

my back turned on society,

into the dance of her and me

Swimming with
you
love
in the
fiery pool
of desire

Embracing your
hunger
with eager
excitement

Welcoming
each touch
each kiss
each sigh

Submerging in
ecstasy
we dive
Into
euphoric depths
of pleasure

Floating
in communion
of contentment
with you
love

LISTENING TO EDITH PIAF SING LA VIE EN ROSE

She sings in that raspy French voice
In a language whose words escape me,
But whose feelings echo through my soul,
Or, are the words meaningless sounds,
She converts to feelings with
That sultry so seductive voice,
The lips forming kisses at my ear,
The sounds penetrating deeply
Touching me as a lover would.

-----

If I love and desire you,
Should I not, as true lover
Love and desire all aspects,
Loving you in all possible,
Though, perhaps, not permitted ways,
Giving and receiving all that love,
Which may pass between us,
And surround us in whatever
Form and function our loving
May inspire or require?

-----

drift upon life's sea
as currents of poetry...
carry me away

-----

nature's many moods
gray today bright tomorrow...
always beautiful

-----

clouded with desires
aroused by touch and kisses...
i see her clearly

-----

heart scratched and burning
by sharp brambles of desire...
the fruit worth the pain

-----

far beyond the flesh
the pleasures within your arms...
loving in all ways

-----

if my hands dared touch
as often my words and thoughts...
you would know my love

-----

her gown falls open
can't look away nor would i...
i have often dreamed

-----

she sweetly returns
my kisses and caresses...
fruit of my labor

-----

as petals on skin
fingertips lightly brushing...
and so she blossoms

her complexities
geometric progressions...
to convexities

-----

Having caught sight of love
Two daring adventurers
Set sail on stormy seas,
Bound together in their
Explorations of exciting land,
New sensations shared
And sensed again and again,
For the bold pleasure
They find on their
Ocean of love in
One another's arms.

-----

i will kiss your neck
pressing my body to yours
breath warm on your back

-----

met and guided in
welcomed with more than nuance
buried deep within

-----

to simply touch her
to have that moment that right...
within her desires

-----

bold passionate words
shadows of reality...
making love to her

-----

craving caresses
captive of carnal desires...
my helpless body

-----

far beyond delight
busty woman back arching...
her blossom blushing

-----

admire her necklace
touching her bosom gently...
she smiles her consent

(Inspired by lines from Vidyapati Bangiya Padabali, by Vidyapati Thakura)

-----

wildly beating heart
highest moment of desire...
her secrets set free

-----

many ways we kiss
playful lips wandering hands
bring joint ecstasy

-----

skilled in passion's lore
she thinks herself innocent
but her heart holds fire

-----

her womanly wiles
so completely seductive
exposing her mind

-----

passion flows oe'r us
who could turn the tide or would
when wet in its waves

-----

arms crossed and on guard
keeping her secrets hidden...
but not from my thoughts

the nudes of renoir
tangible impressionism
body and senses

-----

quivering with want
awaiting satisfaction
anticipation

-----

undulating need
dance to a lusty refrain
only she can hear

-----

alone in her lust
desiring hot caresses
what's a girl to do

-----

glistening body
tastes of salt and her desire
as i drink her love

-----

gliding cross your skin
fingertips arousing me
as they arouse you

-----

flowing through my veins
the drug which you feed to me
within your kisses

-----

touch the bloom's middle
it opens in surrender
yields up its honey

-----

saved one precious rose
placed it on a shelf somewhere
reminds me of you

-----

let my touches move
through your shy secret garden
of blushing petals

-----

do you know my world
of flowers and sunrises
and thoughts about you

-----

carved from pure marble
lightly clad nymph emerges...
seeking a lover

treat me like the wind
warm caress upon your skin
smiling at my touch

-----

caged by my desires
ensnared by dreams of your touch
fantasy kisses

-----

I awoke before the sun
And thought I'd take a walk.
Perhaps he'd kindly join me,
And we could have a talk.

I dressed and stepped outside
Prepared to greet the dawn
But my eyes saw only darkness
And I thought I heard a yawn.

I've been out and gotten back
And am drinking my first cup,
Looking out the window,
Wondering when will he get up.

-----

a beautiful soul
more to be desired and loved
than sexy body

-----

sexiest people
don't always appear sexy
but their minds are hot

-----

poetry my path
realities are resolved
by fantastic words

-----

one by one loosen
letting drop each cloaking veil
bare yourself to me

-----

If words touched you like fingers
I would speak my way along
The arching curve of your back,
Using phrases such as
Shivering and quivering,
Raising your flesh with
Hot breaths upon the softest places
Intimate intonations
Of lust and passion,
In gasping sentences
And lurid phrases,
A sensual tête-à-tête,
Ending in rapturous silence.

-----

picture my desire
my yearning fascination
as i picture you

-----

its so natural
don't ever deny yourself
touches of pleasure

Labels: beautiful soul, before the sun, desire, haiku, poems, poetry, sexiest people, statue, Stig Blomberg, woman in the wind

Say the words you never say
The ones the public
Doesn't know you know...
Hoarsely, desperately rasp them out,
In the passion of the moment,
Instructions,
Desires,
Wishes,
Dreams,
Which the world cannot know,
But a lover can,
And respond,
Fulfilling wishes
In your fantasy world.

-----

i know she would be
a magnificent lover
if only she dared

-----

never be afraid
to be your naughty self
i love you that way

-----

i have no secrets
why hide my true self from you
just know me, love me

-----

you're desirable...
i must now speak honestly
i want all of you

-----

touch me with your skin
place kisses on my body
caress me with words

-----

tell me once i'm yours
desire me for who i am
just say it one time

-----

love you as you are
but, let's make one simple change
trade your clothes for skin

-----

look into my eyes
penetrate my mind's secrets
see our same desires

-----

never seen or touched
yet sexy as hell to me
your stark naked mind

-----

I don't know how to be
All I want,
All I need to be,
For you,
For myself,
So,
I try to be the best me
That I possibly can
And hope
That's satisfactory...
All I can...
That's what I promise,
I've nothing else.

-----

my most common dream?
that you sometimes dream of me.
not too much to ask.

-----

no secrets from my love
sharing all i think, say, do
she and i are one

-----

from my heart i ask
your loving acquiescence
that we become one

-----

i dare not touch you
because i'm a gentleman
my flimsy excuse

-----

tried to find myself
using both hands in public
now under arrest

-----

i will lift you up
knowing your lowest secrets
proudly loving you

-----

together, music
my needle within your groove
oh, sweet melody

-----

all i say or do
is a reflection of love
and you the mirror

-----

whatever you want
that's what i want us to do
your pleasure is mine

-----

please touch me right there
i'll take your mind and guide you
for both our pleasures

-----

i would kiss you there,
then leave some more all over,
make you ask for more

-----

never seen or touched
yet sexy as hell to me
your stark naked mind

-----

Dance for me, Salome,
Move in that fabled way
As you once did for Herod,
Demanding all he had to offer,
For your reward.

As you did him,
Make me insane with lust and want,
Push me to the place,
Where all else fades,
But you...

And nothing matters,
But my dark desire for you...
Woman...

Who can rule my heart,
Capturing its beat,
Within the movements of her body,
Stirring it with,
Designs drawn with hands and arms and legs...
Illuminated by
The dark lightning of her eyes.

Define my existence,
With just a look, a word,
A move.

Dance that sinful way for me,
Show me the steps which lead
To Heaven,
Or to Hell...

Just one time.

Dance for me that way...
Salome.
