Wrapped not in fabric
Nor ribbon
but something tender
a shimmer that is clinging to you
welling up within you 
as your thoughts of desire
come from deep within
The way your body 
pulls longing from within

It is a subtle unspoken suggestion
of something waiting
Wanting to be revealed 
The anticipation
The unraveling
The promise of what is to be
painted on your skin
by nature

Like a desire 
waiting to be etched within
a single line that asks
to be followed
traced
undone

Intimacy is found 
in the way it settles
As if it knows your secrets
holding them gently
until the moment is right
to let them fall free

It was Jayita Dass who coined the phrase 

You deserve a wild love
From a gentle soul    


Can my gentle soul
Be raw unadulterated passion
fueled by purity of purpose 
whilst living in my domesticated state ?
Or, 
Can my mild and tender spirit 
Claim your body mind and spirit
with the urgent passion you desire ?
Or, 
Is this glorious paradox too hard to hold onto ?

If strength is the capacity to endure great force or pressure 
Then my gentle soul 
can be strong 
And can be pure 

How can I tell you 
to read our story 
in her eyes
When these verses 
are meant to be felt

My petalled kisses
satin soft
draped from shoulder
to nape as if silk 
swathed her form 

Butterflies escape her heart
taking flight 
in a silken swoon of sighs

Our passion 
stunning the heavens
into silence

As wave after wave 
of sensual verse
in unabridged chapters
was composed 
between the sheets
of our desire 

Our songs sung
deep into the night 
as if church bells 
were celebrating 

"The fragile do not land where the air is heavy. When a butterfly settles upon you, it is a quiet confession that your soul is speaking the language of safety and grace”.      Anon 

True allure is never loud
It lives in the quiet space 
between the words
In the elegance 
of what so often remains 
beautifully hidden

Love isn't found 
in showing everything 
to the crowd
but in the intimate space 
that occupies the minds
of those who share
love together  

Don’t ask me how I died inside, 
Or, how and why the darkness overwhelmed?

But rather, ask me how I live, 
And then, how I live to know life in every breath

When I went to bed last night, 
It was your voice I heard, 
whispering your sweet nothings in my heart

And this morning when I woke, you filled my mind, with good things,

Deep things.  

Smiling as I admit to myself quite delightful sexual things.  
My aroma was in the air, my belly covered

When I close my eyes, it’s your face I imagine 

Your smile, that lights your face, 
As your eyes sparkle with life.

Your mind, your heart, your body works in translucent harmony

To cast your spell over me.

And enchanted by you
My want is to bring you pleasure.

For when your breath could dance on my skin
Or, your  fingers would caress my form,
My body creates magic from within
My world could be complete.

Within you 
My wants can be satisfied.

The sun gave a sixty minute farewell performance
low in the sky sliding sideways 

It reddened and as shadows lengthened my lover joined me 
The ochre becoming chilli-pepper red 
The night sky became dark and 
thousands of diamonds sparkled in the sky 

Yet nothing compared to my lovers face 
The sparkle of her eyes 
Her glistening hair 

The smile that adorned such wondrous lips 
bowed and curved touched with a gloss sheen 

My fingers reached out caressing her cheek 
Her soft warmth making my heart beat faster 

We kissed first gently 
Then passion and lust danced 
Our bodies writhed in rhythmic ecstasy 

In the moon light 
My universe was born

of you smile

and smile myself

I see the glint

in your eye

And know

you see mine

I feel the ache

in your wanting

For I know

my own wants

I feel the softness

in your surrender

and the grace

you bring

I feel the heat

in the closeness

we both imagine

The heated nights

where sleep

doesn’t come

and love collides with lust

in a frenzy of fingers

until release

is found

and you name

peppers the air

Smiling
I think of you
For you have many roles
Lover
Confidant
Friend
Partner 
I want them all
For I want you
I see you in your glory
In your smile
The glint in your eye
The drizzle of your essence
I hear your voice
It’s lilt
It inhabits my dreams
As you read my words
Stirring my loins and my soul
I feel your touch
As you take me to our sacred space
The place we nurture in each other
Where wants made known
Burst with life and joy
Sustaining my day
And
Enriching my night

Deep in your mind
in subtelty
where  hope and desire reside 

I whispered deep
and gave them life

In quietness
I savoured their glory.

My touch
evoking a vast ocean
to roll over you

When joy came to visit
You became 
a trinity of glee

impatient to swim deeper
In the oceans of your mind

Finding new life
The culmination of our need?
or
learning to journey 
together 

It is there
In simplicity
That hope abides 
There in my dreams 
I take my love 

For Hope shatters drudgery 
For hope brings colour 
To my grayscale world 
Hope is found
In the smile 
Of the one 
I love 

In simplicity  
She touches my lips
Transforming my heart 
And myriad colours 
Now kaleidoscope 
Through my mind 

In simplicity 
Of hope
Our love is bound
Our future

Safe

Love indestructible 
In frailty appears
as we learn 
to accept each other 
Coming together 
To test our need 
Gently
Tenderly 
Shedding inhibitions 
As we strip each other
Standing together
Resplendent in nakedness

Jewelled dew drops glisten
I see your need 
Just as you see
My rampant hunger 

Together as we lay
Depths of need plumbed
Desire filled
My heart aflame 
My mind lost in wonder

I hear voices of evening call

Speaking to me

One voice amongst the multitude

The one I need to hear

Her gift

Are words of life

They furnish me

With hope and power to heal

The doubt and darkness

Her touch so rich and vivid

Caresses my heart

Bringing life and joy

To know you and to feel you close

Your presence that I crave

Your smile,

Your voice

Your pleasure

No other voice

Has meant so much to me

How can I describe 
the person that you are?
How can I paint your radiance ?
How can I tell of the way 
your silken voice fills my heart?
How can I tell of the way 
your touch makes me feel ?

When your fingers 
dance across my chest
Heading south 
to take my breath away
Your caress takes me 
to places seldom visited
As your repeated touch 
fuels the volcano within

When your lips dance 
with their succulent warmth
Catching my breath at every turn
My need captured and 
played by your desire
You unleash the volcano within 

When you seek my seed 
to make you blossom from within 
Your urgency and desire 
fulfill all my dreams 
Your name resounding 
in the passion of the evening
In the quietness … 
spent …. 
I allow myself 

to love 

The clouds enveloped me

Dusk rose like a golden caress

It felt as if you held me covered in you

The sky a dazzling hopeful hue

I found you at the end of the rainbow

Soon there would be stars

Soon there there would be wishes come true

Soon there would be you

Once in a fairytale moon bow

for you are

as magical

as the glowing moon

and the sparkling stars

within the night sky

You have

entered my darkness

never realising that

you are my light

You saw the stars align

that they had

written our name

across the Milky Way

And you knew

that when we kissed

an eclipse

would happen

in the silken threads

of your devotion

A cocoon of love

where we bind

our sweet emotions

In your quiet depths

a peaceful refuge lies

a serene balm

that heals my soul

A gentle caress

that makes me sigh

Your love

is a sanctuary

Where I can escape

a total release

from life’s chaotic aches

Bind me tight

in the sanctuary

of your heart

Where love’s gentle whisper

is our living work of art

For in this serene

and peaceful space

I am free to be me

A butterfly emerging magnificently

Wild forever seductive

Simply carefree

Like your lips

and my lips

are our lips

Flowing in synchronicity

Pushing hard against each other

and pulling away in the most

tense moments

Breathe in me

Take me and

hold me above the ground

While I drown in you

and the water

Pours from my lips

Just from the touch of your kiss

He held her hand

He brushed his cheek

with her hand

Then he lifted her hand

to his lips and kissed it

Then he took her

in his arms and

kissed her lips

with all the passion

he could muster

His fingers traced

the contours of her face

so he would

recognise her

in the darkness

or even god forbid

in the blindness

of his old age

When he kissed her

He knew she was

His everything

when I would rub

your thoughts

all over my skin

Just as I would

moisturise following

a shower

Knowing they would

bring me joy

and temptation

Your thoughts would

Soften the hard places

Harden the soft places

For your thoughts

have this creative force

that transform

what they touch

And you touch me

From head to foot

Inside and out

If I could tell you 
what you mean to me 

How my thoughts of you
Shape the way I feel 
about my everyday life 

How I long for your presence 
and live for the moments
when we connect 
and I look into your eyes 
and see your radiant smile 
My love swells 

I love that we can share 
our burdens together 
so often unseen 
by the world 

For I know that 
the actions we choose
design the world 
in which we live 
In a world of 
fleeting moments 
your love and kindness 
will always matter to me
