INTIMACY

Death
    Desire
        Quiet
            Yearning

Tears
For all those
Forgotten
Gone
Lost in muddled waters


Death
    Endings
        Living
            Openings


A memory unveiled
A door unlocked
Tenderness fills the room

Deep intimacy so profound
Yet the gesture so small

An eye gaze met
Staying
Exposes it all

GATEWAY TO PLEASURE

Relaxing - skin on skin
Each deep breath removing a layer of unknown tension

A tsunami of waves wash over me
Taking with it, the body's numbness

Moans, sighs, aaahs as each exhale relaxes me more and more

Sensation coming back
Layers and layers of unwinding take place

Every deep breath
The gateway back to bodily pleasure

RESENTMENT or RAPTURE

Tension mounting
Silence
Steely eyed looks

Communication stilted
Hostility in the air

Disconnect wide as the sea
Jump in or turn away?

Constructs of the mind
Seemingly valid reasons to dig in

Space, freedom? or Go deeper, give more?

Connection and distancing
Two sides of the same coin
Love only a perception away

A small opening
Relaxing into our touch
Electricity, tingling sensations, nerves pulsating Passion re-ignited

We're back!
Love jump-started

Resentment or rapture
What are you aligned with?
Either only a thin veil away
Right here, right now

Flow

Wind, air, the birds fill me
Aliveness in the air

The music, the symphony awake me
Singing, delighting, dancing
Such joy

Robins, cardinals, chickadees, hummingbirds, sparrows
All let me know the day begins in the flow

Surrendering to Love

Opened, softened, satiated

Filled, fulfilled, happy

Nothing, emptied, claimed

Tears, giggles, the depth of all women's pain

Your presence and power open the gates

To unveil hurt, rage, vulnerability and sweet love

Our union is ancient

Your eyes are those of a Roman god, a Gaelic warrior, or the wonder of a little boy

Here I worship you and see in you the Divine Transcending earthly matters Time no longer exists

I revel in where u have taken me

A place so surrendered, light and open

You have set me free

Stir Me Up

stir me up

draw me down

coax me out

lure me in

your "no's" invite persistence

slower, deeper

until your body livens

and your eyes surrender

your hot softness - begs to be crushed
by my fierce, knowing force you awaken
with your light I lead us into darkness
with relentless love and firm command

To FEEL Alive

In-box, Twitter texts, Facebook
All trying to capture my interest

Going this way, then that
Leaves me feeling scattered, isolated and asking “Am I all that?”

I want to FEEL…
Feel deeply
Feel alive
Feel something
The pulse of aliveness running through me

I open the windows to let life in
The birds are singing, nature is purposely hustling
The breeze moves through what appears still

I go outside, breath in the fresh air
My senses start to awaken

I feel alive again
The air on my face
The cold breeze on my legs
My lungs expanding and contracting
As I breathe so deep
Expanding my long legs up the steep sand dune

I no longer feel alone
I feel alive, sharing life with those around me
The birds, the trees, the bugs

The sand wet in my toes
Water gushing on the shore
I feel full

Winding my way back on a muddy trail, mush under my toes
Wet, fresh, green everywhere
I feel God, life’s connected energy forces, filling me

I am happy, FEELING so ALIVE

I Don't Know What To Do....

The days wane on
My purpose feels gone

Gift my men, the fruits of my heart
Food, home and loving are my art

In a box so beautiful and contained
Yearning to feel full; it can't be feigned

Food, alcohol, do their best
To pleasure me, distract me and full fill me

Leaving me duller, fatter - yet not satisfied - I seek to be fully gratified
More, more, more - I want it all

Action, connection, depth - do I feel into others at all?
Remembering who I am - Divine Love, no gesture too small

When lost in my thoughts....
I desire to remember to plug in to Love's call

New Lover

Into the night
You take me

Hearts meld
Eyes feel

What was once an act that scratched our surfaces
Now, pure union, giving for bliss

Yearning, offering
Penetrating with your depth

Steady, fierce, knowingly taking...
Having all you want

Pressing in your darkness
Desires so wanton

Too improper to speak
Shredding me to pieces

No boundaries to stop you
Unrestrained, unsuppressed and untamed love

Yearning for more
Death and obliteration

Feeling your heart's passion and desire
Opens me wider

All is yours
To have and take

Devotion, devouring
You - unfolded this flowering

Our hearts open
Nothing matters
God's love is flowing

Radiant One

Dear Radiant One,

Your smile, your sigh open me to the heavens
You pierce me with the light from your heart

Soften and fill me with your eye's smile
Let your voice sing with pleasure and delight

Your undulating body moves with the pulse of light
Your softness, allows us to awaken to the day

Navigating thru our relationships, feeling what's needed
Patiently absorbing the sharp edges

Your softness and warmth
Ready us for the coming day

Devotion

No me
Only pure devotion
Loving you
And all I see you to be

A king, a warrior, lover and little boy
Each part worthy and powerful

Tender, exposed, hurting and longing to be loved, held and revered

A great man...
I want to feel your greatest gifts

Uninhibited love
Passion with purpose
Clarity and direction
Undoing the world's contractions with care, compassion and laser intuition

Keen sense of duality and shadow
Tender heart, piercing us open to God

I see all you can be
I lift you to your greatness
I catch you when you fall

You are destined to stand tall
And share with us your all

Entwined

I sink down - down into you
You wrap yourself around me

Roots, tethering me tightly
From my feet, up to my throat

I feel snug, protected, relaxed by you
You are alive - pulsing with life
We are one
