IMMORTAL LOVE

If I were an ancient language
That only you could speak
All my heart beats would be words
And all my breaths their poetry
On a fraying, yellowed, papyrus scroll
Would be written my time worn dictionary
Where each and every word would mean
"Love me like I love you.....endlessly."

LOVE

The delicate thread
of life's web
Stretched
between you and me
Binding us
for infinity.

MS




SKYLIGHT

Each time I see you
on the horizon
A lone star shining bright
My heart bursts
Its dams overflow
Blurring my eyesight
But I welcome those drops
from your oceans blue.

They're the only way
to touch you.
To hold you close.

MS



BUBBLY

Thoughts of you
Flit through my skies
All around me I see
Your laughing eyes
Rise up in effervescence
A thousand twinkling fireflies
Dancing bubbles of mirth
In my heart synthesize.
I'm like champagne gone wild!

MS





ALIGNED

Curves are my favourite lines.

I see them in the moon
a few days old,
streaming delights
mysteries untold.

I look up at the stars
shining bright
in the vicious forest
of the curvy night.

I can feel desires
quietly unfold
behind my eyelids
dreamily closed.

There's a fire burning
cold and blue
Tracing rivers of heat
in the veins it drew.

I ache and I revel
as I redesign
My curves to align
With your straight line.

MS




UNSPOKEN

In the spaces between our whispered words
Lie endless conversations, waiting;
Breathlessly poised, on the edge of time
To descend into our souls, resonating.
Thoughts, lingering on the brush of fate
In the vales of unspoken promises undulate,
Their eternal imprints in disparate hearts
Melding, till in unison they reverberate.

MS




HYPNOTIC BREATHS

I write your name on a drop of rain
With my gentle breath of peace, 
And warm it with a tiny sunbeam 
To make a rainbow of dulcet dreams. 
I let it sit, poised, on my fingertip 
Where it catches the summer breeze, 
To land on the tip of your puckered nose... 
Inhale the incense of whispered heart beats.

MS




BLEEDING TEARS CRYING BLOOD

Never one to be fazed
By destiny's knocks
Lost worlds or broken hearts
It's my love
Being called a lie
That finally 
Tore me apart

MS




LOVE BEYOND LIFE

I'd love to see you soar the skies
With pleasure watch you grow
And with my dying broken breaths
I'll take my love along, as I go.

REVERIES OF A QUEEN

The regal face etched 
On the virgin whites 
The ancient warrior 
In all his might, 
He looked at me 
With his timeless eyes 
My world compressed 
Into his hesitant smile. 
His love was majestic
Aeons of ancient feelings 
His legacy, 
The cycle of loss, oft repeating. 
Millennia of traditions 
Of hearts wrenched from within 
When duty calls, love sacrificed 
At the altar of fertile sins. 
I look at what I lost to eras spent
In the renewing thaws of spring 
Maybe the bleak white winter snows 
Will bring back my warrior king. 

MS




RESTRAINED

When I am a caged bird 
My songs are not so sweet 
A perfectly arranged score 
Of lilting notes 
A pure melody 
But never a rhapsody. 
I sing for you 
My music, touching 
Your beautiful soul 
The sounds emanate 
From my chained throat, 
But my breaths 
They carry not my heartbeats 
Nor the wetness of my eyes 
Or the bubbling joys that rise.
These things, they die 
Inside my heart and my eye 
Waiting to be born again 
Some day, 
When my breast will be unchained 
My wings will be free 
And I will sing my rhapsody 
Just for you 
And you will applaud 
Just for me. 


MS




ALLURE

I'm the love in the air 
Lock into my eyes 
Inhale me.
Catch your breath 
Hold me in 
Ignite me. 
Feel the fire 
Drown in the pools 
Of drunken desire.

MS




ASTRAL LOVE

I am the broken shooting star
In the deepening nightfall sky,
Watch me blaze my heart for you
As my passions go streaking by.

Mesmerized, the world fades away
In the Cimmerian dusk of your eyes,
All that shines is your tender smile
Lit by the fascinated stars that sigh.

MS




CONSUMED

She whispers to me 
On the vagrant winds
Her smiles dancing 
In her voice that sings
Enraptured
I sigh. 

Racing on clouds 
White wisps that trail 
I watch her pass 
Struck by her beauty frail
Delightedly
Floating by. 

Among the stars she plays 
Her game of love solitaire
Her throne the sickle moon 
Flower crowns in her hair 
Queen of hopes, 
In paradise. 

I adore her beckoning eyes 
In ecstasy I am drowned
Her lingering scents….
I’m lost, never to be found
With tenderness
She gratifies.

Boy oh Boy,
How I love my life!

MS




IMBIBED

I inhale you. I lock you in.

Your breaths, your peace
Your magnificent dreams
Your wistful sighs
Your thoughtful streams
The memories you live
The longings you hide
In your tortured heart-
I breathe it all inside.

I hold your laughter
In vessels of hope
Along with your scents
A kaleidoscope
Of moments you lived
Your whispered verse
Your idiosyncrasies
Your endearing quirks.

Deep in my being
Your atoms I hide
In a crevice obscure
Where love resides
You'll live there, untouched
By time or tide...
I'll hold you safe, from fate
Always by my side.

I've breathed you inside.
