Enraptured

I get lost in your eyes

yet I run to his heart

an ocean of secrets

and an endurance of tender heart

the only way to escape this world 

is to dream

I dream in a lost sea of blue

and kept secrets

it is the love I seek

yet have nothing in return

tugging heart
tears at my essence

only to bleed memories
that afflict me

A longing that envelopes 

my world of dreams

declares me destined

in my own heart

and leaves me grasping for air

I get lost in your love

yet I run to treasure his heart

folded in half

torn into two

a love bound by the stars

a love bound by heart

I find comfort

that transcends passion

a yearning inside of my soul

that will love and dwell
herein me forever

that will captivate my heart hostage

into that blue ocean

at lost for sea

After the Circus

The circus finale has harmony
and common folk have parted ways.
Animals are taken in.
Favored essence they endure,
bountiful from ruin and misfortune.
They are genuinely beloved.

Her name is Helena.
She is other than a Goddess.
Ebony tresses
and skin of golden velvet,
she is the dreamer.
Her feet are exhausted.
Years of dancer intimacy
are exposing effects on delicate skin.
Tattered ballet pointes
tossed in the corner of her gypsy wagon.
Cinched corset in ruffled pink
adorned in dazzling stones of glass
takes its promenade
in her armoire of exquisite.

Ella Fitzgerald, "Summertime"

spirals out of an aged music player.

Undressing and tinkering with her charms,
she promenades dreamy.
Candles flicker,
captivating the cottage with aglow
and a sweet ambrosial fragrance
of Jasmine
encompasses the air.

She releases the allure
of her raven hair
illuminated with golds and reds.
Incandescent water
filling her divine retreat.
Timeworn feet drawn;
toes beckoning into the water.
Sweltering;
nevertheless in delight,
she finds her solitude.
A light of the day escapes
into a euphoria
of radiance and tranquility.
Enveloped in elation;
dreams come into her,
a reverie of a dancers heart.

Moonlit Dreams

She's a midsummer night's dream,
adorned in nothing apart from sand in her feet
and a fragrant silken scent of gardenia.
Her skin is sun kissed golden
from the sun of the Earth.
Gypsy jewels adorn her essence
and she dances in the moonlight
like a captivating dream.

Her breasts are fruitful,
with curves that intertwine
to a sweet sound which envelopes the air.
Lovers are at her door
billowing gifts to treasure;
one of a moonlit reflection of vast sea.
She dances for her suitors;
her feet wet from the Earth below
and her heart abundant in nature.

She dances to the harmony of drums
or is it the beat of his heart.
Rain drops fall
upon her moon face.
As he pulls her into him
a kiss of dreamy rapture envelopes her.
A haze of ethereal transforms her.
His lips delicate;
a kiss
is heavy and enduring
leaving her with butterflies fluttering
into the depth of her womanhood.
He calls her name~
Helena
demure,
she frees herself from uncertainty.

On a rustic wooden porch;
calico feline, Chloé curled up

under the gleam of the sun.

Floral aroma intensifies in the air.

She lies in the familiar hammock

and dreams begin to fall into her.

A lovers trio bound by possession,

she has found a home.

A home,
that dreams inside of her heart.

Drawn to a moonlit reflection of vast sea

she is pulled into the illusory.

Only to dance
with the brightest star

in the light of the moon

and from the depths of her heart,

she dances
as a seductive illusion.

My Secrets Lie

There’s a new boy in town;

his scent of salty sweetness

and eyes 
that of a vast sea

burns through the depths of my heart.

His touch is a soft memory,

fresh upon my skin 
like a hot summer day.

A kiss 
of fervor and rapture

enfolds a desire of profound yearning.

There’s sand in between my toes

and a light fragrance lies in the air

resembling that of plumeria heaven.

A moist heat radiates my skin

and a sense of vulnerability 
pushes through my soul.

Tugging at my heart strings.

He rides on a set of waves.

Our hearts meld into one;

not through a simplistic touch

yet through the eyes of two souls.

Separated once;

two souls found each other

through the stars,
through the pull of the moon
and that vast sea.

Two lost souls;

bound by dancing lights
broken apart

and love was lost at sea.
