#autumnsunshine10
Mondays keep coming
Even when the darling buds reopen
Per Shakespeare’s sonnet
Doomsday headlines hot off the press
Overdue library books stacking up
Forget-me-nots get pulverized
I wonder why I wonder so much
When it all seems a waste
I could close my eyes in a deep sleep
Alas I always eventually wake
Still there’s a break in drifting dreams
Polish my pearl
Deep sea diver
Wet your whistle
Whilst whetting
Synced appetites
Gild the lily
Plucking petals prettily
I’ve taken a shine to you
Making me feel all shimmery
Aglow with the flow
From you to me seamlessly
You see, eye to eye
Mind to mind we connect
My heart thumps faster
At the mere thought of you
My body can’t help but react…
And I’m beyond pleased by that
Irradiate me
Fuchsia you
A touch too much
Got down pat the part of Heathcliff
Still I will not be your Catherine
Lying in wait of your kiss to awaken
Ardor is best not underestimated
How would you like to be scared stiff?
Eggs must crack to bake a cake
Alas the blue gas flame loses oxygen
My time is better misspent
Vocal Point
Body talk
I listen raptly, rapacious for
Every shift, every rustle
Blood rushing to
All the peak places
The sighs, the moans
Deciphering meanings
Translating tongues
Slipping and sliding
Teach me the intricacies of
Your language; make me fluent
Whispering softly at first
Then volume rising
With intensity of feeling
Heed the hedonistic glee
Following each other’s lead
We will both get there
Gasping for air then preparing
To again hit those high notes
In harmony
Interlinked
Traversing my walls
Taking tender steps yet
Sure-footed steady as you go
Putting me perfectly at ease
Laid-back onlooking between relaxed blinks
Of crinkled eyes, thinking with a satisfied
Sigh that this feels oh so right
As stoniness buckles under
The gentle sway of thoughtful touch
Bringing joyfully energizing
Vim and vigor to my days
Turning up the heat at night
Until we burst into flames
Fireworks colorfully lighting up the sky
Fourth of July has nothing
On our pyrotechnics display
Then we fumble drowsily sweet
Into dreamy gratified sleep
Reaching out for each other
Circuit complete
I fell asleep and into your arms
Lying there luxuriating in bed
In each other; raptly willing to watch those eyes
–More than anything any app could stream–
Surface rippling rivetingly
Intimating all that teems beneath
Yet somehow riveted on me
Heart-racing soul-stirring
Embracing as the flame burns hotter
Stroking innocently until the intent
Gains in momentum, in urgency
Only we’re not alone, witnesses surround
So we furtively glance around tickling
Ears with our murmurings
Plotting to sneak away…our stares
And sighs asking, why wait?
They matter too but not as much
As we do, as our untamable
Urges do, at this moment
If this be no more than a one-time
Wonderful dream detour
Another almost–but a bittersweet
Tantalizing taste
Would it be better preserved
That way or a crying shame waste?
Will I ever even have a say
When awake?
Don’t mean to be crude
Or intrude but I can’t keep it in
Can’t quit thinking of you
Your eyes mesmerize my days
So how could they not pierce
Through gauzy nights?
Emblazoned pleasingly on the inside
Of mine shut tight an enticing interlude
Until we can resume our intense
Contact–where my cloudy blues
Can marvel at your velvety browns
And all they exude: soulful
Yet with an unmistakable impish
Sheen irresistible a charming prelude
To danger but of the best kind
Usually play it safe now don’t mind diving
Head first to find what goes on behind
The humor, insight, even deepest
Channels of your mind…until then
Fantasizing in the dark
Your eyes the spark leading
Me breathlessly to a rendezvous
With the arresting
Rest of you
I dreamt you
No you’re real
Still I don’t know you well
Most especially not the way you came
To me in my dream state
How to put into words something
So no-holds-barred passionate
Frenzy escalating at a just-right rate?
Pulsating with need, freed from
Everyday brain-numbing constraints
Delirious yet decidedly lucid
Abrading yet making every ache better
Via ecstatic escapades; exhaltations
In every exhalation escaping trembling
Lips loosened easily–volume rising
With each vibration from you to me
Enough to quake me awake wondering
Why you and why in this unexpected way
Is my subconscious playing dirty
Tricks on me? If I go to bed
And you meet me there
Another go-round would be
Icing on the cake
You returned to me
Recently in a dream
Wearing endearing earnestness
Smile like a secret let out
Wistfully asking me to remember you…
As if I could ever forget…
Even when I want to. Like trying to sleep
Through the night without waking
Again with you nowhere known
To me, alone; you long moved on
Within me daily wars are waged
Against your memory
I’ve lost yet another round
Even reminders of the good times
Bring stinging tears to my eyes so why
Would I want to remember anything?
Maybe one day I will get to a place
Where I can behold a sunny day
And not see your face (making mine
Wet with drops of pain) and perhaps
Not question if it was all a bad mistake
But this heart needs more time to heal
From decimated dreams that once felt
Oh so real…reality still the chill
Churning through my veins
I try in vain to shake
Bridging the gap
At Making-a Pass
Between a rock and a hard place
“Accidentally” landing
In this lap…not another tourist
Trap…want me to scratch
Your back or whichever
Itch within reach?
Is there an app for that?
Apparently. Still your eye wanders to me
Well if you’d look closely
Surely see baggage needing
To be unpacked and sorted
Folded flat, nice and compact
So strap on in; disregard the crammed
Luggage rack–heaven forbid anything
Distract from your single-
Minded track
