Heart of everything

There’s a quiet storm

That is you.

And you are playing with my heart

Placing high stakes,

Making me race… and ache…

And maybe I deserve it

Will you keep loving me?

I can't take it if you look away!

I already died the night before

When I hurt you

I want to warm your soul

Only I can't smile

With the ache of disloyalty

It is not just another day;

It is another day of sorrow.

I reneged on your trust -

With my temper;

Walked all over your good natured-ness

With my pride and insecurity.

Only, that’s no excuse at all!

You came along when I needed a savior -

I need you to save me again

From the all-consuming rage I direct at me.

Don't leave me stranded

On the end of a line;

Let's head for the aisle.

When I'm with you,

The whole world can feel my heart simmer.

Like Sade, you are the lovers’ rock

The rock I cling to.

Somewhere in my sadness,

With the walls crowding me,

You lent me your tenderness.

You are a force stronger than nature

That keeps me alive.

I hope with you

Because you are brave for us.

We were chosen by love

Together we survive;

Apart, we leave a wreckage of breathing pieces in our wake.

Under the constellation of the stars;

With the moon standing high in its splendour;

My heart and I were talking …

I asked her about the endless possibilities of you and I;

She gave a lurch…

And she said: “He is your light at dawn…

And the glow in your sunset.”

I couldn’t argue with my Aquarian heart!

Is it a crime,

That I still want you?

And that I want you to want me

With your last breath?

Because I crave your love

To bring me back to heights of delirious pleasure.

And that:

That is the heart of everything.

Sounds of Silence

I'm not a caterpillar; 

I can't spin a cocoon and wake up a butterfly. 

Neither am I clairvoyant;

I know not what the future is.

I can't be reborn; 

But I'd love to try 

Only because you think I walk on the moon

I'm all emotion - 

Always wearing my heart on my sleeve 

And in my verse

Looking only to love-ever-after.

I know how vulnerable that makes me

But then again, whoever finds how to tame the heart,

Let them write a guide.

Life’s too short to spend time alone 

In another lifetime maybe...

But then again; maybe not.

For now, we live. 

Two people intertwined at the hem of our souls 

Fighting each other 

While embracing the intense surges of affection

Loving each other ….

Among all other bursts of happiness and emotion

I'm impulsive: 

You find yourself objecting to that,

Yet at the same time grudgingly admiring me for it. 

Around me you titter

And I explode 

Driving you bonkers... 

And sometimes giving you the boner!

The blackness has fallen on me

Because you have gone dark

I’m fading away

And my nights are filled with nightmares and tears

Ice-cold rage flowing in me.

In my dreams, I'm running towards the edge 

Screaming my frustration 

I want to feel the sun with you  

I'm losing my mind

Working against the sounds of your silence. 

Trying not to give up;

My heart is frozen 

Living on the edge of psycho

Like a juvenile in her first Cupid encounter 

I'm working against myself, 

Haunted by helplessness

Brought on by the looming loss.

Trying to revive the ill-nourished fire; 

While at the same time drowning in nostalgia and hope …

Lost 

I lie lonely 

And I'm teleported down a dark path

Losing myself in the shadows from which meaningful escape seems unlikely

I don't want to go back down to living on the edge of the darkside

Now that I have experienced the moon

I want you to look at me 

See that I'm good enough.

I can’t measure up to the woman of your dreams; 

I will top that 

Because I'm good enough …  FOR YOU! 

Your heart assures me of that every time you look at me 

And tell me you love me to the sun

Let's take the plunge: 

You and I 

Into the depth of bliss 

Only way we know 

Life is not assured;

Let's not live it fighting 

Or banking on fate…

Waiting on things to work themselves out 

In a world of suicide bombers and missing planes, 

We can only indulge in the loving 

Because, baby we deserve it 

Let’s break the endless sounds of silence

That contin

 ue to linger;

If I can't feel, I'm not me 

If I’m not me; we are not!

Sensual seduction

 (Because I know no better feeling ...Continued) 

...I live for hope…

For joy and tumultuous hormones…

For the heartache

And pheromones that lead me from my darkness

To your door…

To dawn…

Being held in your arms;

Is the love I live for!

Your moans of pure adoration…

When I hear you surrender to our pleasure;

Your amorous fire,

Fans the flames of my passion

My muse …My ruse… My pleasure at my most lecherous!

I ache.

It is in the marrow.

Malignant buzzing swarm of bees;

Eating away at my estrogen

Weakening my resolve;

Preparing me to explode into rapturous desire

Sensual seduction…

I want to be ravaged by your tender hands  

…trembling hands unsettling…

Flown on the oars of ecstasy;

Until I can’t feel my legs.

Drape me in a cloak of goosebumps

Until I’m a shivering wreck

Torn between surrender and delayed release

Bits and pieces of raw pleasure …

A passion unbridled…

Roots of greed, trembling

With you at the core
Souls starved …
Taking things slow;
So I can get mine before you:

And me… me?

Well… nerves!

Rising to the occasion like a possessed nympho

Moving to the cadence of our heartbeats

As you make your way to the tips of my thirst;

Catering to me like a raging inferno

Delightfully devouring me like fire on a dry savannah

Openin’ the taps of my pleasure…

… the pores of my excitement …

Releasing the pent-up lust

Until I am burning under your scorching hunger…

… and sweating…

…and writhing shamelessly like the prostitutes in the Harlem.

Deep in the stillness;

When you bring me back from throes of pleasure

I hear your savage breath

As my pounding heart holds you…

Just so many fast beats away…

Assuring me that you are mine!

I’m familiar with the slow mischief in your eyes

As we land back to normalcy…

The labored breathing of satiety

Mouthing “I love yous”

My heart stops;

Because I know no better feeling
