The Old Banyan Tree

As I lie under the old Banyan tree

I envision untold folk tales, of tradition.

Sacred values of lineage.

Each line of life;

like a lifetime of many moons

& stolen kisses,

reflecting the sunlight

& promises kept.

Burst of raindrops spanning across horizons 

& found 

all encompassing spirituality.

So gentle, like stillness,

like tranquility 

yet pulls you in 

with a strong essence.

Telling of stories

& whispering

in the soft rustling of leaves,

what life is in meaning.

Tears for you, 

the pain you have endured

the sadness you hold.

Heave strong.

Sturdy roots, you expand to heal

may you find nurture in nature

& grow to tell tales

& keeper of secrets

& capturing mystique

your grace will be bountiful

over & over again.

Divinity of Silk

Sacred Orchid blooms

Your bud infinite 

    over 200 million moons

Delicate the way you unfold,

the way you dance,

the way you form more than one

  resembling a bond made of twin souls.

Sturdy, your tender petals,

what is it to cultivate your elegance;

nature's husk and heaven's tears. 

A graceful dance of yin and yang;

  you grow tall towards the sky,

you sway in sweet delight,

you wrap your love around,

 and you make poetry in the night.

Your beauty intrigues me

in my gentle hands as innocence 

to a goddess bathing in your softness.

Under Lock & Key

There was one soul I have encountered that made me feel invulnerable, safeguarded. Like time stopped, the universe was at a standstill. Fated to love, I'm in need. I crave his strength to leave me vulnerable in his grasp, to be held once more 💫

Medication ~❥

as your kisses grace my fleshy neck
& you whisper,
 lips like pillows
I become entangled into you.

as our bodies are entwined
the aroma of us envelopes my room;
I'm becoming addicted
& words spoken from you,
 I'm already addicted.
Two lovers in an induced dream of electric passion,
I crave you as my opiate...

My Desire

Yearning his smell, what it does to her.

Craving and wild feline,
awaits submissively
 until the day beckons,
that she can wrap her legs
delicately
 around him
and knead him like a kitty...

Let Me Love You 💫

My Drug,
my Muse.
A Love
that I can never unravel.

three of many
and
thirty seven full moons ago
my lips touched yours.
beyond a spell of hours we kissed,
affinity of a celestial deemed by two.
into water that burned
like fire beneath my skin
the vulnerability in you
envelops my soul;
kindred of bittersweet nights
with music serenading the air.
it was then
I bemused myself
inside of you.
my delicate heart bound
and bleeds by you,
an addiction turns to loving your tortured soul.
I sense
your fear of abandon,
I behold
this is undeniable;
I embody insight of you.
to know, is what I embrace
every night under a golden moon
memoirs of you,
and I.

tongue tied
across the line
a glimpse of you
clutches at my heart
and I'm falling over once more.
waves into waves of emotion
subsequently,
I am with you.
everything encompassing takes flight beyond a horizon of blue;
perched onto you,
I am in moments of embracing you, nourishing you,
kissing you.
I can see affecting love in your eyes
it is then,
I want to declare;
to you,
 my love.

let me in and love you.

Her Secret Garden 🥀

there is a garden;
she dwells in moonlit nights
of crimson reds & ocean tides.
it is here, I hold you
into my arms.
your vulnerability
{always}
intoxicating me,
into the mystique of you.

I embrace no other
 in the way I, you
like the moon
pulling at the ocean waves;
no other
embraces me in the way you,
like the night sky
clutches the moons light.

I am your garden of pleasure
& I'll tear the pain from it's fleshy skin; your wounded heart.
I live in a delicate romance
of bitten marks in sacred tongue
& your caress upon my ribcage;
favoring roses falling from it's grace~
   I thirst for more.

in those distant nights
you open a floral garden
& a fire resonates upon my dewy skin.
then, there you are
bestowing kisses upon my lips;
kisses so sweet,
like nectar
& you are within each petal,
deep.
so pretty you are,
there...
all my secrets you find
& the heat from your lovely lips,
make this garden
a slave to you.
