Like a drug.

Indeed my sweet, you are a drug,
Like the sun is to the earth,
Oxygen is to flesh,
And water to plants.
A yearning so profound i feel you embedded in my bones.
I am attracted to you like a moth,
Is to a flame.
The scorching heat does not burn as my love for you does.
The tingling of my fingers to have you in my grasp,
Is so deep that my soul stirs,
Into a black hole of longing.
How amusing.
My heart beats and yearns for you,
My consciousness is only filled by the wants of you,

Sunset (Loop Poetry)

Loop Poetry:

Sunset

Afternoon sun creates a canopy of light
light which enriches the balmy day.
Day of vivid colours, now courting evening
evening carries perfume' scented breezes.

Breezes fragrant, as the sun sets below
Below the horizon's edge of hues,
hues irrupting in a spray of glory
glory so fitting the closing of day.

Cigarette Love

Like a cigarette caressing my lips,
A sudden rush as sparks begin to light,
It burns, and flows down to my fingertips,
Until the glow fades into quiet night,

Falling in deeper with each shaky inhale,
As it flows much stronger through my veins,
Filling the air with tastes that whisper death,

Love’s tender touch, and my heart still remains,

Far and Away

I was looking for someone who knew
if you listened to a story from a vulnerable heart,
your kindness would hear it too.

But this always seemed to be
the farthest you could have been
away from me.

Witness

Light a scented candle
to soothe your mind,
and hide the scandal
of memory's bind.

Deny your sins
and dirty dark deeds,
until your head spins
and your mind bleeds.

but deeper down...
sitting on things done,
while you deny
the smoking gun.

It just doesn't figure;
you're not to blame.
didn't "pull the trigger"
why own the shame?

But, just maybe,
sitting and viewing,
murder of baby...
Is just as bad as the doing!

Done

Broken down like tempered glass,
our boys are young they out of class.
Ancient hours onto the hourglass,
we try to last, we can't resist,
how life treat us like a devious rapist.
Broken down like soft wool snow,
cold in his state but, through we grow
in faith inside the set apart place.
Defines forgiveness with holy grace.
When, days become, so short to narrow.
Dreams today get sold for, one sparrow.
Broken opportunities will not last
the seed in us, as it grow, so fast.

My love affair with God!

Falling out of
placid skies.
Teardrops form within
my eyes.

Torn from heaven’s
beatific view,
suddenly I
encountered you!

Steeped in feeling
passions flair
my love for you
I could not compare!

Once I reached to
touch your star.
Now it seems
a bit to far!

Nothing can recount
the time.
The gift received
it was sublime!

Now I feel to
play the fool,
standing barred
in front of you.

Longing

Juices on my heart. Like honey, this is sweeter than honey. Faries on my mind, ease my heart, unangage my mind. Tag my soul and lead me into your own fairytale.

Teach my legs to walk into your in escape, our own sacred special space. Lend me your painting brush, wanna paint the glow in my heart, to dim this surrounding with gloom of tender.

Seductive essence, like shivers down my spine, transcending my mood to cloud 9. Roaming and oozing butterflies in my stomach, empties my worries, loopholes in my heart fills. Ease the volume, I'm overflowing now,

A peaceful point of view!

Shining towers
golden rings
jaded bracelets
special things

Given to the ones we love
on a special night

Flaming with desire we burn
with our sacred gifts return
To a special garden plot
making love forget me nots

The giving of eternal fire
our hearts were cool
they now perspire
Falling at each other's knees
we perform a rhapsody

Given time we will prevail
to build a ship and then set sail
The building of relationships
that bind us to each other's needs
