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 will tear the pain from its' 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 its 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 captive to you.

You ~❥

I have never been embraced in the way you hold me,

the feeling of invulnerability.

Yet,

I have never been so pained in the way you have tormented me.

The feeling of anguish.

Philip...~❥

a lover beholds words,
a lover bares her soul
and a beautiful mess unfolds;
like those lovely nights of a sky unfolding and revealing only one moon.
it is here two souls collide into moonlit nights
and within, a lover dwells
so that a bleeding heart may find comfort.

orchids in moonlight
gracefully dancing,
dandelion's fluttering
and butterflies wrapped
inside her ribs;
kissed by a sweetness of heart shaped lips
this delicate garden for only him.

all he can give, is pain and poetry.
yet, she is drawn
to a tragic love story ~❥

no fuck boys allowed ~❥

a thief in the (k)night stole my heart

it is here
stolen, everlasting kisses take me hostage...
minutes, upon ticking seconds of you & I.

 truth in the way you kiss me
etched into my soul.
a fire in your heart I will light,
 let me in a g a i n... ~❥

Of Love

I am a body of my own
wrapped in warmth of water
as my bones untie
into a lustful kiss
is to know how to love.

Wrapped within the mystic of you,
encompassing knowing
of a magical power;
unbeknownst
a goddess of light
a goddess of beauty
a goddess of grace
a goddess of passion
a goddess of lovers delight
unfolds unto the water
like gold jewels
dancing in a ray of light...

Deity of One

Under an Egyptian sun
and native moons
a deity of one,
were torn by two.
Condemned by the night sky
celestial's they became.

Until the day came,
flesh and bones ignite a soul
and two, become solitary;
into relics of lost nights
and stolen memoirs.

Embracing a sea of watered horizon
this Earth rotates towards its golden hue
and tethered beings collide.
My blood runs wild,
like fire to my soul.
Eyes of affinity
burrowed within me
resembling ancient drums
serenading the mystic air
and I am flooded with fire and light.

Into the bare of my fleshy skin
and under my rib cage
immersed within an essence of light and fire
I am enveloped into a vessel
of stolen journey's;
wherein I find inside of you,
my other.
Pieces of me, a story unfolds
and I shall poetically write;
with a bleeding heart.
Etched into the nights sky
of poetic love;
until the day befalls
in which two, become one.

"Draw your Swords"

there is a kiss

that lingers upon my lips 

of others.

blackest hair

darkest eyes

you are, 

that black stallion.

the one,

who caught me 

in a knights dream...

Draw your Swords

Under a Wave

In a wave of tethered emotions I burrowed within each tidal overturn
and I came undone where warmth once held me.
A poet and a {muse}
 dance within a shadow of crashing waves
and it is here I drown
 in a sea of sorrow and light,
bind me along your facets of bleeding scars.

As I call upon your kiss
taken,
over a lifetime of many moonlit nights
and into raptured longing
I unfold into each ripple
over and over again.

Condemn me
to your mystic strength;
herein,
 my heart endures a captivating longing for you, my love.

Into a solitary night of colliding waves
falling under the moons illuminated gaze
and a galaxy full of celestials glow,
I fell into the grace of you.

Tame me, what it is to love you.

I sat upon him

as I confessed my love to him
it was as if he knew, anticipating...

although, it was all in my nights dream.

Candy Poem

My Sweet Tooth.

A little smile goes hand in hand

with a lot of Love & some pink sugar.

Rainbows are made of lollipop colors;

Bubble gum pink

& a few Swarovski Rhinestones,

as is my World

Jelly Belly’s, Blow Pop’s, gummy’s 

& Rhinestones…

These are a few of my favorite things…(♥)

Found this poem I wrote when I had a little candy section at my old boutique!
