Invisible wingsIdle invisible wings;
yet to be used.

Far from impotent,
only resting;
waiting for a favorable wind, a tidy stream of air.

Strength was built upon pain,
while love and devotion built devotion and love.

Longing to drink from the rim of sovereignty,
yearning to fly-
we wait, my wings and I;

and dream of the flawlessness found
in deep, soul felt happiness; it's undeniable promise
sustaining.
Hunger Pains..
I dreamt—
and I dreamt and I dreamt and I dreamt of you.
I was filled to overflowing with promise wrapped in malachite colored wishes.
You were deliciously mine in that cloud of imaginings you arrived upon.
     And I loved you there,
     under brilliant Technicolor rainbows
     covering bittersweet chocolate rivers.
Soft and supple; the shafts of golden light pouring in from the dark tantalized.
You were defined, clarified, delineated.
     I was enlightened.
Luminous, you asked me to dance among the willows, sweet grass and wildflowers.
     You captivated.
We danced—
and we danced and we danced and I laughed silent until breathless-
and in my loss of breath, that moment of strangled sleep drenched death,
     my eyes opened to save me.
Lungs filled and dark eyes opened, I felt a borrowed bed under my hip, the same under my breast.
SunriseYesterday, I had an epiphany.

It came to me in a flash, as epiphanies often do.

I realized that with some people, no matter your proximity,
your heart just finds ease and rest.

Your heart finds a home.

And the thing about homes is, they aren't perfect. Ever.
 
Happy homes aren't always happy, but love still fills them.
[anger isn't necessarily bad, either. we fight. we make up. ebb and flow.]

Good homes have laughter and tears.

Homes are safe places to be who we are on the inside, the real us.

Loving homes are places you grow as a person, places free from harsh and punitive judgments.

Home. Where your heart is [accepted, loved,
Silver lined dreamswhen dawn breaks tinged with sorrow

                                               We are

internally dwelling creatures
caught in a maudlin stream.

                                               We believe

our pain is unique and selfishly
overlook the simple
unvarnished truth.

 
    &
Covered   secrets
embedded deep-
  [an amber existence]
fragments of me trapped inside,
  just as petrified.

Finding Peaceshe is like a golden sickle
piercing dark purple velvet,
carving a place for diamonds
to dance and fly.

observing her rise and descent,
I dream of dwelling in the curve of her breast
feeling each stroke against the night,
lying in that silent sacred bow.

I marvel, watching diamonds fall
absorbing their heat as they brush my face,
illuminating my endless wonder-
I revel in her magic, her power.
DesirousDesirous—
     enveloping and preserving, we
fall into an endless age of
soft skin
rough hands
and stars that blind
behind closed eyes.

Time Divides—
     a great gulf churns,
filled with a cacophony of our secrets,
needs and desires separating the press of today from
soft skin
rough hands
and your dark eyes that bind me.

Like A Mirror.
     the sweetest sighs
layered upon, drenched within and
threaded through,
my soft skin
with your rough hands and resonant voice-
hearing my heart's desire through the shroud of this surface.

See. Behold. Embrace. Entwi
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.  

 &
sweet companion
                        
I grasp the fleeting fingers                                      

     of solitude
                           
  in a desperate tenuous grasp
    
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
Three Little Words   it is like a lullaby
the sweetest music to your ears
   a dream come true when sincerely uttered
ecstasy in that moment, rapture

"come forth" you silently whisper,
    "caress my very soul"
to you, magic is imbued in each letter
   of those three little words:

     you are right
MutatioI have secrets buried inside of me. Secrets that yearn to break free, to feel the sunshine, the moonshine light upon their lexicon. Some are painful, others are proud. This one is basic; this one is vital.

There is power within each of us to change the world. Scoff if you must, if you are afraid to believe, but it remains true. Because worlds are as big as we live them.

I live mine in grand fashion, yet still my world is nothing compared to some. My daughter's world, that of my sons, are even smaller yet, but their happiness is of the utmost importance to me. I try to be a positive impact, a meteor of safety and love, into their universe da

I began this poem in Sta.sh a long long time ago, back when I still used it. :stare: I DON'T anymore. Anyhoo, this weekend I was stumbling through some poetry, why do I have so much? lol, and decided to finish this.
It isn't an original theme, but it is unique from my brain.

RAY LAMONTAGNE - "Hold You In My Arms" :music: [link]
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever

When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
It's my worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face, close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man's food, don't prophesize

Enjoyable read. At the end I was reminded of a photograph prompt put up by SWS. Woman literally hugging text in human form. For me this poem became even better with each successive stanza. I also couldn't put it down. < clever ha!
