JEWELED RED

SIMPLY A DROP

OF DEW

HANGING

PRECARIOUSLY

ON

THE

EDGE

OF

A

BLADE

OF

GRASS

PRISMED

TO A SHADE OF JEWELED RED

PAINTED

FRESH

WITH

A

SIMPLE

STROKE

OF

MORNINGS

LIFE IS NOT

OF ONE

WHO STRUTS

AND FRETS

THEIR HOUR

ONLY TO

NEVER

DANCE THE DANCE AGAIN

LIFE

IS REVOLVING

EVOLVING

SPINNING

AS A TOP

GONE

MAD

SHOULD

ALL IMPLODE

OUR ENERGIES

AT LAST

FREE

FREE FROM

THIS PRISON

OF

BONE AND SKIN

FREE TO

ENTWINE

ONE WITH ALL

FREE'

TO

BE

ETERNAL

SUCH IS

LIFE

SILENT MORNINGS

THE MORNING SILENT
BUT FOR THE SONG
OF A MORNING DOVE
SO SILENT ONE HEARS FEATHERS
THAT DROP
AS SHE SHAKES
OFF MORNINGS DEW

THE MORNING WITH ITS
AIR
THICK
SO THICK
ONE MIGHT SPOON IT
SCOOPING OUT DEEP CHUNKS
LETTING THRU
THE LIGHT OF A NEW DAY

A SILENT MORNING
SO VACANT OF SOUND
ONE HEARS THE HUM
OF A BREEZE
AS IT WHISPERS
PAST
TALL BLADES OF GRASS
THAT HANG HEAVY
WET WITH DEW

THIS SILENT MORNING
VACANT OF SOUND
ONE HEARS
THE BEATING OF
BIRDS TAKEN WING
AS ONE
CHASES THE OTHER
CUTTING THROUGH
THE DAMP, THICK
MORNING AIR

CONVERSATIONS ON THE RED VELVET COUCH

TOGETHER THEY SAT ON THE RED VELVET COUCH

THE ROOM SOFTLY AGLOW

BATHED IN WARM CANDLE LIGHT

HER INTOXICATING PERFUME

SWEETENED THE NIGHT

AS TOGETHER

THEY SAT ON THE RED VELVET COUCH

TWO ALMOST EMPTY WINE GLASSES

SAT ON THE TABLE BEFORE THEM

BOTH GLASSES TOUCHING

AS IF IN AN EMBRACE

BOTH WAITING PATIENTLY

TO BE REFILLED WITH THE DARK RED WINE

THE TASTE OF WINE STILL LINGERED

AS HER TONGUE

SLIPPED PAST THE CORNERS

OF HER FULL LIPS

FULL LIPS

THAT CRIED OUT

TO BE KISSED

KISSED

FULL MOUTH

KISSED

WITH ALL THEIR WETNESS

KISSED

WITHIN ALL HER WANTING

THEIR HANDS

TOUCHED AND ENTWINED

HE PULLED HER INTO HIM

THEIR WANTING LIPS MET

HER LIPS

SO WET

SO FULL

SO HOT

SO PASSIONATE

THEY BOTH TREMBLED

AS THEIR YET CLOTHED BODIES

TOUCHED

ELECTRICITY FLOWED

BETWEEN THEM

SETTING OFF SPARKS

THAT FILLED THE ROOM

THEIR TONGUES

DANCED WITH PASSION

HER'

FILLING HIS WANTING MOUTH

HIS

MOUTH DRINKING IN

EACH

DELIGHTFUL

MOMENT

GENTLY

HE SUCKED

HER

FULL BOTTOM LIP

INTO HIS MOUTH

HE COULD FEEL HER WARM BODY

AS SHE SANK

DEEPER

INTO HIS ARMS

THE PASSION GREW

THE

FIRE

RAGED

THE

ROOM

SPUN

AS TOGETHER THEY SAT

ON THE RED VELVET COUCH
