Uncharted

    tonight

cradling lonesome to my naked breast

he found me on the edge of midnight
   an uncharted land, waiting to be discovered.

mountains, plains and valleys
   an untamed river yet to be named,
laid forth before his questing spirit.

he was the solitary envoy,
   a master at discovery,
   occupying with permission the humid lush rainforest
and quenching the desert thirst.

determined, he left nothing in darkness
   uncovering every crook and crevice
and bathing them in light and heat.

TemptatiousI am
  delicate and yielding
like a memory wrapped in mussed silk crimson sheets
   legs intertwined
   thighs demanding

I am
   as strong as steel
forged by the heat of your hands and the melt of your mouth
   fingers seeking
   eyes searching

I am
  exposed and fragile
like the delicate rushing point just before the crashing climax
   lips parted
   tongues sparring

I am
   simplistic complexity
bound by the power of chemistry, beyond the point of return

Loss of MemoryI forgot.

It is a tragedy that I failed to remember
just how fond I am of the naked,
waiting space on a man's neck
where his clavicle meets his throat.
It is just perfect for my mouth.

I can run my imagination, and my tongue,
along the inflexible structure under the skin
and then
delicately sink the flexible tip
into the shadowy curve behind it.
The slight tang and salty flavor
of his warm, now wet skin under my mouth-
I forgot how good it tastes, how superb it smells-
as I pursue the rest of his body with the restless
press of mine.

Without Grace~February 1998~

Both of my hands rest on the gentle swell of my abdomen. Standing in front of the window above the sink, I draw invisible magic circles on the skin over the baby girl nestled inside my expanding body. I stare out the window at nothing, while a tiny smile plays upon my lips. My eyes may not see, but my imagination is in full swing; I am dreaming wide awake. It is a parent's natural inclination. I see puppies, ribbons and lace, school buses, tears, phones, boys, books and hands clasped with matching gold bands.

We are close, she and I. We share the same breath, the same nourishment. She startles when I do and she doesn't

Friendship's Songmy sky is waiting for you
  a billion stars shining bright
  blanketed upon an endless unfurling velvet night

my eyes are searching for you
  anticipating that sunny fate-filled day
  two fine friends will meet, a million words to say

my seas remain open to you
  mysterious and calm wave upon wave
  a thousand memories waiting to be made and saved

my land exists to comfort you
  peace and rest linger for your claiming
  a hundred empty moments seem to be remaining

my land, my seas, my eyes, my sky
  combine to shape a hopeful invitation

A contradictionShe dreams of the day
when the destination is her choice
when silence is solace-
and not an invitation to mischief and disaster.

She imagines the day,
when the everyday trials of this life
are born of her own hands
instead of smaller ones stained with play.

Today, she drives with the windows down,
wind in her hair
music piercing the air,
crowding out every thought.

And at the end of the endless day
under the safety of night,
the hush lulls her eyes closed
hands folded in exhaustion
she greets the dark.

And yet,
a certain knowledge is always present.
Of what each endless day represents.
Of where each noise, chaos, and ob

My breakfastThe sun is shining,
the birds are singing,
the grass is damp with dew.

And I see you hanging there
so ripe and golden,
like a tiny sun.

You beckon me.

I reach up for a gentle caress
and into my hand you fall.

I don't devour you on sight,
as my hunger presses,
instead

I savor you.

…press you to my lips
…close my eyes as the soft covering tickles
…breath deep of your intoxicating scent.

I can no longer resist.

My first bite is heaven,
flavors rush along my tongue-
and my taste buds break into joyous song.

One bite can't satisfy,
and the second brings twice the goodness.

The sun continues to shine, the bir

close your somber eyes
and I'll sing you a song--
a lullaby of amber winds
dancing against light blue skies.

if we could see that this was all that we need
inside our minds
bodies and souls-
we wouldn't run and we would let go

Happy Birthday, Kris!!

Amazing grace, dear one.

*dragon-fly-to-me Jan 16, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Thank you, Kay.

(this one was...is...special in a different way. thank you for saying that.

)

~Kay-March Jan 16, 2013

It's special, dear no matter what!!

...more than you know. [link] i originally took it thinking about how I will never get the chance to put a pretty flower like this in her hair. And you said...sigh...anyway.

~Kay-March Jan 26, 2013

I understand how deep it goes for you a bit more now.

This flower contains lots of memories, and we know how fragile they can be. Keep those memories close whenever you watch the picture. I'm sure wherever she might be now, she can feel your love

*dragon-fly-to-me Feb 18, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

I do keep them close. Guarding them jealously, in fact.
Thank you for your kind words, and I apologize for not replying earlier. It has been a difficult past few weeks for me.

~Kay-March Mar 4, 2013

No problem dear, I too as you can see for the late response, kept by absence do to illness... problems are the only constance in life I suppose.

*dragon-fly-to-me Mar 5, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

i hope you are feeling much better now!!
And yes...problems are for that. And for helping us to appreciate appropriately the times without them.
