Choices

Hearts rarely know for sure
or even well in advance
what shall become of lovers
when dealing with romance

Day to day joy might blossom
or send lovers off on a dream
sailing the starry skies
for more of love's supreme

Yet, in my day, mothers
sent their sons off on a trip
if they didn't like his lover's hair
maybe even her bottom lip

Now, that love's upon us
and our days draw close to nigh
I am trying to recoup my youth
'fore life becomes a sigh.

Telling You Now

Have I told you about it yet
you are the honey in my tea
the warmth in the morning
wrapping all around me.

Have I said to you
you bring simple pleasure
a relief of strife and pain
good, by any measure.

That you add to me reasons
to freely face life's ire
and even stoke the embers
of passion's building fire.

Have I said to you
I am glad to have you near
Simplistic words, I know
but I do hold you dear.

I just had to tell you
in case I missed somehow.
So, if you hadn't heard it before
I am telling you right now.

Heaping Love

You poured me a helping
of your tremendous drink.
Flooded my soul to the rim
even quicker than a wink.

In just one instant
you filled my thirst.
Stretched the seams
till they nearly  burst.

Placed me on your wave
atop your vast ocean
of sensual delicacies
like a soothing potion.

You poured on me one
mighty good heaping
serving of love's desire
ready for the keeping.

Now, as I seek my balance
as if hit by an ocean mist
my heart's rocked to its core
from the power of your kiss.

Last Night

Last night... I took
a magic carpet ride
and sailed to the hither
with you at my side
 
Last night... I soared
with bodies in the sky
drifted past the heavens
you the reason why
 
You made love to me
beyond the noted way
yanked the dull from heart
I glow the best today
 
Matters not the world
we travel on as one
and wallow in the ecstasy
till all my days are done

Might I Request

Might I request
just of a bit of you
a taste of the exotic
a dish of lovin too.
 
Might I ask for a touch
I know your special way
that deep tingling yearn
you rev up each day.
 
If I beg a taste or two
a wallow in supreme
I promise to return the joy
in lovin to extreme.
 
I pledge a trip to ecstacy
we both so need to ride
and soar the wildness
of sensual eventide.
 
The stirrings you give
a really sweet refrain
touches my every fiber
makes me like insane.
 
Raises the heat
to maximum glow
like shooting stars
cross heavenly flow.
 
Might I request
my portion for today
the bursting joyfulness 
as you beam my way.

Be blessed sweet lady.
 

Proxy Fish

Perhaps the man was sad
lost too much of what he had.
Writes a lot with his pen
to pour out what's within.

Words are writ intently
compassionate and gently
of the longing and desire
finding life to be a lier.

So his attentions change
extend to another range.
Could be a proxy, the fish;
a substitute for a lovin dish.

In The Mind Of Mercy Grace

I wanted to be angry
and ask you just why
you would think I'd let
my voice sail the sky  

Wondered if you knew
what my feelings are
or if you even cared
might you leave a scar  

Then the point arrived
the one at center stage
the one which shouts
"world, I've come of age"  

As I grinned and smiled
relaxed from the ire
allowed the sensual ease
to ignite a poetic fire.  

Why can't I share
my vast poetic theme
with a soul struggling
to recreate a dream  

As is my normal way
to put joy on your face
I'm glad to find my poetry
"In The Mind Of Mercy Grace"
