Hugged Not - Haiku

Hugged not him nor I
yes I understand the stone
Helpless and alone

A Girl Named Kelli

I danced with a girl named Kelli
She only had one good eye
she was quick on her feet
but she grabbed for my seat
and I said Im not that kind of guy

What is this word love

what is this word love
where does it get it power
to crush a gentle dove
or blossom buds to flower

so gentle from the lips
so mighty to the ears
source of thrusting hips
source of bitter tears

my heart cries out I love you
though caution reins me in
unbridled passions deluge
what would that begin

passion from I love you
hate comes from I love you
sorrow from I love you
I love you, from I love you.

Tenshi or Icarus

I have seen the storm clouds gathering
the tides of your passions ebb and flow
I have seen the sun on your hair
and the fire in your eyes as you look at me
but I have never seen you free

tonight we will travel to my escape
where I will take you body and soul
and I will teach you the power of regret
or the full measure of loves passion
and we will cherish or despise each other

swim with me into the night
spinning recklessly out of control
standing tall upon your knees
we will disrobe with our eyes open
one button at a time until all is undone

then you and I will play with the embers
burning our hands and our souls together
tossing the fires between us
in a dangerous game of catch
until we are embroiled in a delicious fire

yes I know there is a price to pay
for both sin and happiness
some will try to define it
but who will pay the price to know the truth
I dare you... not to love me but to live

and now you must decide
will you acquiesce surrender submit
not to me but to yourself
to the passions so clear to see
what will you find beside your bed this night

will your passions erupt beyond your fears
with blanket strewn as ragged toys
the scent of vanilla in the air
the taste of chocolate on your breasts
cascading kisses seared upon your skin

a broken pile of thoughts and memories
shattered and ravaged by time
wait patiently for us on the floor
huddled together with black lace and fear
cast aside as we embrace each other

what comes at the dying of this night
will Tenshi die as Icarus *
or will you cleave tight to me and cry
as love pierces through bright clouds
spark of my souls life within you

this night you will see the end
and know what every lover knows
that even though storms arise
and safe ships find safe harbors
love is only found with nets cast in the deep

*Tenshi = Angel in Japanese Icarus = in Greek Mytholoty he is the son of Daedalus and is known for his attempt to escape Crete by flight, which ended in a fall to his death. Icarus' father made a set of wings out of feathers and wax and warned Icarus not to fly to close to the water or he sun. Icarus was so thrilled to be able to fly he forgot the warning and flew to close to the sun. The wax melted and Icarus fell to his death.

Angels Flight

busy angel take you flight
and beat your wings for her tonight

let him feel the way she feels
his heart to sing, her heart to reel

speak to her of memories past
and touch her heart that they might last

whisper love to heart and mind
the soul will follow all entwined

if this is wrong so it begins
but do not speak again of sin

Lilly flower in winter’s night
wear you blackened silk tonight

find you slumber close your eyes
in your dreams your angel flies

angel wings so far from home
remember you are not alone

embrace the winter’s sky in flight
angels sleep with angels tonight

Please Whisper

Could you please whisper.
Pretend that were together.
Embraced in my arms.
With no distance between us.
Sing to me in my dreamland.


Yes this is for you.
