She swooned with delight in his arms
laughed as they romped cross hill and dale
and gasped with unbidden lust as he tore her bodice

An unlooked for adventure stirred my heart and my soul
caused my heart beat to quicken
and my eyes to go wide in anticipation
turning the page to see what J had in store

A more steady companion day in and day out
never a girl has ever known
true and thoughtful and generous
never taking affront to a new idea
or an editorial suggestion - how brave thou art!

As we turn the page into a new year
take my hand my love
I will follow you as long as you will allow
trust me to be your companion
to be your partner in adventure and love

We shall dance our way through the year
dance our way from day to day
be my partner my love
enthralling in the joys that we can bring each other

Lovely poem, darling.

Windows in the Dark


Reading until I fall asleep
The quiet of a dark night
All the world is asleep.
Except for me, my book
That tiny dim lamp

My mind drifts ever on
Listening to the night sounds
Wondering and wandering
As another day goes by
And she is far far away

Looking out the window
Into the star filled night
So crisp and cold, it is Winter
Memories of many dances
With her, taking me down to sleep

My breath on the window
A tear rolls out and I sigh
Setting down the often read novel
Its comfort, fleeting today
Pulling up the blankets

Flipping off the light
Rolling over towards the window
Gazing as my eyes grow heavy
Another day tomorrow
What will it bring?

Raven and Coyote


The raven and the coyote
Alone on a low green hill
Overlooking an emerald valley
Walked and flew together

They created a world together
Full of adventure and love,
Brilliance amidst the chaos
Delight and joy in their creation

At times the chaos would return
And the raven and the coyote
Would clasp hands together
Singing of their love for the world

And the chaos would fall back defeated
Again and again, a war for souls
The raven and coyote together
Attending to their delight and joy

Raven's mysterious eyes like nebulae
Coyote's dark pools of passion
Find each other amidst the chaos
Embrace in the world of their creation

So much history together
and so much ahead of us still
we have an ease
and an earnestness
passion enough for an army
and a determination to meet each other
even when we are not at our best

When we are on we are hot AF
and when we struggle we are still
amazing, present, seeing each other

Gimme all of your love darling
tease me and tell me your fantasies
naughty desires
of all kinds

We will dance through them all
and more we have yet to imagine

Dances and Dancecards

Dancing with you is and has
Been everso pleasant and spry
Be it slow dancing, swing dance
Or even that electric slide

Your dancecard is full you said
And my heart soared with desire
With passion did we dance
With freshness and growing love

Swirling about the dance floor
The admiration of all that saw
A perilous misstep on occasion
We adjusted as best as we may

As the night winds down
And the band signals last song
Toes a little crushed but we dance on
Echoes of the band throughout

As we dance to the end of love
One foot in, one foot out
Looking into your hazel eyes
As the world holds its breath

Kissing your hand with a bow
A most excellent dance partner
"I pray thee beautiful lady
That I might cherish thy dancecard

To dance with thee to the stars and beyond
More than yesterday, less than tomorrow
Refreshed and fullfilled, wanting more"
The gentleman holds thy card out to thee.

My unfiltered dreams of ballrooms
And stories of dim smoky dancehalls
Two figures dancing, gazes of love
Closeheld, cherished, erotic, grace.

Dance with me in the garden my love
Twirl me under the moonlight
Steal my kisses as you steal my heart
again and again

These words are not mere flights of fancy
They are our hearts true desire
My dance card is full of you
Ever since that ballroom dance
So many adventures ago

Dance with me in the dessert
Pull me into your lap
Turn me ever so prettily
and make the sailors clap
Teach me how to dance at sea
And dance among the waves

We shall dance from one page until the other
from dusk til dawn
and from dawn til night again

Grab me by the apron strings
and dance with me in the kitchen
floured hands and messy hair
the dance of domesticity
Morning teases and gropes
Over coffee and scones
as you dance me to our bed again

Dance with me in the rain
on the platform as the train pulls away
all others are inconsequential
as my tears meld with the misty rain
and you kiss my face again and again
holding me and turning me round and round
in your arms
laughing and crying with joy
to be together once more

Dance with me as we go somewhere
a coffee shoppe
a bookstore
a mountain road
a deserted theater stage
a white sand beach

There is no place in this world
where I will not dance with you my love
feeling your body pressed against mine
my head against your chest
my hand in yours
stealing kisses
falling in love
again and again
a little more
with every dance
and every twirl

You know how to set the pace
putting the record on
and rolling back the carpet
sending me to put on that old red dress
you love to see me wear
~ that one that shows off my bosom
and the skirt rises up so lovely as I turn

You smile as you offer your hand
this dance is just for us
Like all the others
my dance card is full of you alone
every line marked for you love
from now until eternity

We dance in love
We dance in sorrow
We dance even when we stumble
We dance every compass point
and we dance to help us find our way
We dance with heartbeats aligned
and sighs of contentment
We dance until our muscles ache
and the music runs in our veins

These memories are indelible
and there are an infinity or more to come
You are my dance partner
My friend and lover
The one who watches over me
who sees me like no other
and calms me in the night

You have danced deep into my soul
and have taken up residence in my heart
My heart beat dancing along with yours.

^^^^^ sooooo beautiful

There was a day when the Romance Hero lived
Spreading romantic expressions far and wide
He encountered a fair maiden at the Spring Ball
And their history and adventures were amazing

Today I Choose


Today I will choose
Instead of what I woke up to
The love I feel in my heart
Instead of the confusion
The lighthearted place of fun
Instead of weighed down by
The things I cannot control
Instead of the sad anxiety
The enjoyment of life around me
Instead of the knife wounds
The kisses of my lover
Instead of the pain in my heart
The clean air around me
Instead of whispers of jealousy
The love that comes to me
Instead of impatience
The patience I am famous for
Instead of despair
The songs in my heart



Today I will choose.....love

Ordinary Love



I like the everyday things about her
The way she wears her hair
And all the clothes she wears

I like the everyday things about her
Long talks about the world and politics
Whats going on at home with her people

I like the everyday things about her
Art and fascination in beauty and oddities
Small bits of awareness in the world around

I like the everyday things about her
The earrings and her love for them
Her amazing dog I feel like I know

I like the everyday things about her
Coffee shops and lunchtimes
The work she does, her occupation

I like the everyday things about her
That she shares them with me
And I share mine with her,

She is adorable these ways and more

Today I choose you
the way you know just how to love me
the way your words bring a smile to my lips
and the way your touch lightens my burdens

Today I choose you
as we watch the sunrise
and listen to the wing of a raven fly overhead
the lapping of the tide at our feet
feeling the inexorable press of time
I lean on you and choose to spend today
and tomorrow and the next, with you, my luv

Today I choose you
as you push the hair out of my face
bringing my fingers to your lips
your eyes meeting mine
the magic of just us two in the world we create

Today I choose you
to whisper my secrets, my fears, my joys
to lean my head against your chest
to feel your heart beat calm me
my worry and anxiety falling away
comforted in your arms
as you wrap me once again
with that red thread

Today I choose you
to sing the song in my heart
to play a tune sweet and low
to dance around the kitchen
and paint the town red

Today I choose you
to walk down this path
to see what is beyond the next bend
and to be partners and lovers
I choose you to be my someone
to dance me through the year
day after day, night after night.

Today I choose love. I choose you.

Self Care 12/29

Breathing deep spa day
Heat and steam, sand and water
Deeply relaxing




since your PM box is all full my darling.

Enter the Maelstrom





The seagull cries overhead
As the rolling surf caresses
With sounds upon the sands.
Her feet are lost in the foam,

The maiden contemplates the depths
And the mysteries below
The undersea currents that drift
And glowing life that ebbs and flows

A storm swirls up from below
The currents and tides disturbed
Erupting in a storm above
A storm heralded by a Captain

The Captain, his destiny- the sea
As certain as the red thread
That ties his heart and soul.
Sailing in with a storm in his eyes,

The waves washed the decks
The timbers groaned in protest
The sea would not be mastered
By a Captain with such skills as these

The Captain saw to the deeps
Therein his destiny once lay
With no care for himself or crew
The Captain sailed on and cried out

Lashed against the wheel, he sailed
Into mysterious maelstrom waters,
The sea quite unfamiliar to him
A place he was no longer welcome.

Not giving up, the Captain sailed on,
Though his heart break with the effort
And his battered ship sailed through,
The red thread stretched to its limit.

Though the waters be strange
And full of secret shoals and reefs
The Captain held true to his course
The worn brass compass, his guide.

He sailed on, true to his compass
Fearless and using all his skill
And for a time the ocean cleared,
The gulls cried overhead once again

Skillfully assessing the currents
Within the depths of the sea
His dark eyes piercing the gloom
Of a sea, a world away from him

And still he sailed, and thereby
With his courage and bursting heart
The sea settled into a pattern
Much like the calmness it once knew.

The surf against the shoreline
Steady, laughing, the sun rising.
The red thread washes upon the shore
Brushing past her toes in the sand

The Captain sails his battered ship
His thread gone slack and dull
The storm had done its damage
And the currents still ebbed and flowed

Never doubting his instincts
The Captain solved the mysteries
Of the sea gone wild with grief
Laying open his heart and soul.

The battered ship dropped anchor
And the Captain went ashore
Tracing his thread to the maiden
With her painted toes in the sand

With kindness and a knowing smile
He stooped and handed her the thread
Its dripping in the sunlight
With the gulls crying overhead

The sea, the Captain, ship, the maiden
Where will the currents flow?
And what of the red thread of destiny
Spun out or is there more to go?

The Captain and the maiden
Clasped hands and walked along the shore
Calm in each others presence
Familiar and yet still much unknown

Affectionately he kisses her
And squeezes her hands in his
Gazing once again into her eyes
The nebulae of far distant oceans

The maiden knows this Captain
Even as he knows so much of her
Are the seas of her mystery
For one such as he?

The red thread grows warm in the sunlight
Her heart and soul will decide
For the Captain to sail with
Or does the seagull fly alone.

She Writes Me Poetry


She is my girl, beautiful and bold
Touches my heart, touches my soul
She is sweet and little with me
Sexy, so adorable, wild and free

She is my girl, and I love her so
Dances with me, wherever I go
She is fascinating, a killer smile
Brilliant and kind, will walk that mile

She is my girl, how, I cannot say
A fine true companion, thats her way
Creative and sure in all she does
Loving and caring with all that was

She is my girl, kinky, crazy, and nerdy
Does puzzles with me, that are so wordy
A beautiful soul, I am blessed to see
Held warmly in my arms, I want her to be

She is my girl, can cry on my shoulder
I will be her rock, mountain and boulder
She is always my friend most of all
And such a friend, she's ten feet tall

She is my girl, a wonderous lover
Pervy, adventurous, a world to discover
Naked, dressed, sweet and hardcore
Toys and ropes, yet its her I adore

She is my girl, I don't take for granted
Her time and energy free and not demanded
While I crave more and more of her each day
The worlds demands will always have their say

She is my girl, in her I have faith
And she looks to me to keep her safe
She writes me poetry, shows her love
She writes me poetry, more than enough

She is my girl. And I am her man.

^^^^
Yes darling, I am your girl, and you are my man.
Happy 2018.

Toes a fresh purple paint
a new braid in my hair
talismans for good luck for you dear

I miss your presence
the way you have been there
all the time, any time
wrapping me in your arms
with your words

But I will wait while you study
the least I can do
honoring your wishes
giving you the time you need

I feel your hand twirling my hair
I kneel at your feet as you work
One question at a time
One more bit of knowledge under your belt

Know how proud I am of you
How I know you will do fine
You are my man
My love, my friend

These days will pass quickly
not quickly enough, for I already ache
Looking for you in all of our usual places
Missing our dates
but knowing we will soon resume.

I am pulling for you luv
Waiting for you
We shall celebrate your accomplishments
my smile broad and my hug tight
Pulling you into my arms
I will dance you round and round the room

Kissing you deeply as we reconnect
Holding you tight
Take me dancing luv
at the end of this week.
We will turn our attention to the next adventure

Take me somewhere
Take me where you will
Take me into your arms
Again and again

Day one of this week of study
how will I last until Saturday?
Feel my love for you
That red thread binding you to me.
Holding you firm in this time.

Love you to the stars and beyond
I am your girl
and you are my man
yesterday, today tomorrow.
Make me proud
You can do nothing else.

~K

Curled under a red blanket
Wrapped in a purple afgan
a prayer shawl to keep the demons at bay
The twinkling lights of Christmas
Like my love, have not faded away

I feel your presence in all of these things
A purple bead from SaltSpring
A candle burning in the night
The clock ticking the hours
When I will see and hear you again

The soft glow of my laptop
Teaches me you are but a keystroke away
A line for you dear, a flight of fancy
And you are captured in my heart
And secured in my dreams once more

My sweet husky yearns to howl for you
Jumping up with delight at your voice
Ready to go on another walk
And ready to sleep at our feet.

There is not one part of my life
that you have not touched
your paint brush has not altered
Come, paint me again
Create in me a fresh spirit of joy
and lust and love refreshed

2018 has just begun
We have dances to dance
and songs to sing.
Pools to swim in
and oceans to travel
We have booked a flight to Mars
There is no place I can go without you love
Your heart is in my heart
Your red ribbon binds me to you for eternity

Take my hand love.
Trust me.
Jump.

I need your voice dear
murmuring in my ear luv
a calm in my storm

I crave your laugh luv
Resonating in my bones
lightening my heart

I beg for your touch
caressing and teasing now
making me your girl

Your look stops me, luv
captures me in your dark eyes
a pris'ner of love

Your hand calms me now
soothing my tresses, my brow
as I kneel for you

Let me kiss you luv
bending, I submit to you
my fears removed

My place is with you
I crave your love and much more
Your baby darling

Kissing under the lamppost
Illuminated by the light of the moon
I see you darling

I dance in the starlight
Twirling round and round
Leaping into your arms
To feel you hug me tight

Rain and shine
Snow and wind
I will meet you here
Under the lamppost
Our place
A dance hall all our own.

Echoes of Dreams Past



In the silence of a frigid morning
Last nights darkness fading at last
Still tasting the echoes of my dreams
I am roused at last by the blare of dawn

Desparate to hold onto my dreams
That threaten to fast fade away
Into the sunlight of forgetfulness
My dreams are of you, found here in this thread

Herein, together, we spin the red thread
Growing stronger and twisting tighter
Betwixt our souls, willingly and well
That familiar live thing that twists in my soul

We tell of our stories, songs, and prayers
Naked to each other and all the world to see
Stripped to our essence, pure as gold
Witness the courage of our mortal shells

Is it courage or something far deeper?
Like that one kiss that when you start
The whole world drops away and is gone
No space, no time, there is only you and I

That is the space I will dwell with you
That eternal kiss, a blending of souls
That taste of the truth of eternity
A sweet madness, gladly losing my mind

I will look into the twin nebulae your eyes reveal
Lost in the rarity and aching beauty of your soul
Even as my own twin pools of nighted passion
Hold steady your adoring gaze, somehow now mine

As the sun rises and the day wanders in
Fleeting dreams of your blissful naked body
Heaving and crying out in the extremity
Of your passion, an affliction cast lustily by me

The ropes that bind and set you free
Free to taste of all the pleasures and pain
Expressions of my love and lust for you
Whereby a part of me becomes a part of you.

Fleeting dreams fading into full wakefulness
Such aching dreams my soul recognized long ago
Discovered in Cairo amid the fires and screams
On a small dancehall by starlight, here and more

The day waxes strong and I must join in its energy
Making my way through the trials and turmoils
The people and business, civilization as its known
And yet here will always remain echoes of last nights dreams

Echoes of last nights dreams
reverberate through my soul
I can taste them on my lips
a dampness twixt my thighs

You clasped me close unto you
heady was our passion
last night as every night
and will be again
when you claim me tonight

Your hands trace my canvas
painting your passion
and marking me your own
Your kisses burn and light a fire
that is unquenchable in my soul

We dance among the bedsheets
twisting and turning in delight
your need for me is primal
Urgently my body responds
to every thrust and parry

In the dead of the night
I submit to you
again and again
my hearts desire
wicked lustful loving
pushing past oblivion

This is how you bind me
wrap me in your love
one kiss, one touch
one look, one word
The red thread wraps
round and round us luv

Is it but a dream?
if so, I never hope to wake
Echoes of last night
remain with me still
Dampness twixt my thighs
aching for you

I feel that red thread
the tug and pull of kismet
As we dance through our day
Complex though it may be

Your voice in my ear
I whisper sweet nothings
the depth of my passion
Drips from every word

Sweet pup keeps me company
Dancing at me feet
As I connect the leash

Am I so eager for you
When you bring my leash out to play?
He howls in delight
Reminiscent of my shrieks

Darling I await you
Bound to you
Kneeling at your feet
Happy in supplication.

I am your girl.
And you are my man.
