Forever looking for the first touch
Individual fingers, slowly moving over cool skin, exploring and defined
Remembering each soft caress as if they would never end
Savoring the anticipation and the ecstasy
Trapped in time, the moment builds
Tasting each infinite possibility,
Oblivious to the soft cloak of sensibility
Unflinching and unsure, apprehension measured with each soft breathe,
Captive to the fascination of the moment, the thirst building as if to fulfill a sacred promise
Humbled, each touch an affirmation of what is to be, what is meant to be, perfect in its simplicity.
Standing in the door,
Hidden in obscurity
Planning the first step
Hesitant, the black abyss
Awaits, swallowing the night
Tanka-5, 7, 5. 7, 7
Eyes closed, tail wagging
Sleeping and dreaming, happy
I am loved by all
Legs moving quickly
On the chase, can’t seal the deal
No problem, I’ll wait
Sleep fades, eyes open
Familiar voices greet me
Radiating love
Passing, the light mist of perfume saturates his senses.
Dizzy with lust, thoughts obscured by the quick nod and flick of the hair.
The calculated, pensive look, carrying an almost sad quality, dominates the ink stained paper in front of her.
Seen together, but always separate, beauty is renewed daily with the glimpse, the almost forgetful hello, the not knowing.
I was visiting my parents today and happened to notice this bird waiting to eat its dinner. It kept its distance for about five minutes until I guess it realized that I meant it no harm. Soon after that, it moved in and chowed down!!!
Saturday morning
Smell of coffee floats, descends
Waking the masses
Eyes slowly open
Making promises to all
Now the day awaits
