it is a dark and wintry night
after a cold and blustery day
the wind is whipping through the trees
and I can hear the coyotes howl.
is that you?
as the wind brushes past the wind chimes...
i pull the blanket tight around me
is that you?
whispering in my ear
murmurs of encouragement
of love and sweet nothings...
the wood shifts in the stove
the sparks flying up the chimney
it is late and i am weary
weary beyond all reason
my eyes are heavy
and I feel overstimulated
too many people
too many places
too much outrage fatigue
haven't we fought these battles?
we have earned this ground.
i lean back sighing
how long? how long?
my feet ache from marching...
how long? how long?
and the coyote howls into the wind...
is that you?
kiss my forehead
tuck me into bed
dry my tears of frustration
and anguish
it is more than I can take
let me feel safe
for the next few hours
it is all that i ask.

Thou art safe, darling. So says the coyote.

A thin sliver hangs in a starry sky
I believe you hung the moon for me

One shared sky,
A sprinkling of stars
Spark between our hearts

Time and distance
Fold and bend
Like origami
In the dark
Until there is no space
Between us but breath

Kiss me under the moon
Fold me in a blanket of stars
Let me get lost
In the dark pools of your eyes
Hold me close love
Your heartbeat
Soothes my troubled mind.

I Can See Clearly Now
Johnny Nash
LYRICS


I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.


Songwriters: Kenneth Gamble / Leon Huff

Meet me for lunch, luv
I'll wear tight jeans
Black boots and a red sweater

I'll bound to the door
As I grab my jacket
And into your arms

Sliding behind you
I wrap my arms 'round your waist
And off we go on your bike

Wind in my hair
The sky so blue
Your body warm and strong

The air is fresh and clean
And the rain is gone
The raven flies
And coyote slips into the wood

We will adventure together, luv
Into a new sunshiney day
Laughter will fill our mouths
As our love multiplies

The road calls
And the world is our oyster
I will go with you my darling.

Listening to the track darling...


waiting for you to come home
and dance me 'round the room
it'll be a bright, (bright), bright (bright)
sunshiney day

twirling in your arms
pulled into a kiss
the warmth of your body
as your scent envelopes me

the tune swirls in me ears
and all darkness is swept away
kiss my forehead
and pull me close

I am yours and you are mine
time stops as the record spins
living in the now
dancing into the future

Island of Serenity


Lay your weary head in my lap
While I read you a rare story
A story full of deep mystery
Science, art, music, and history
Shhhhh, lie still for me darling
While my fingers comb your hair
I'll keep reading while you stare
It is our time together to share
Your naked body warm against me
As I read more, verse after verse
Feeling your heart beat, like to burst
But no, at least not before I kiss it first
And seal the cracks and wounds therein
Your heart, my love, I have it here
In my pocket I always keep it near
Safe from harm by any bow or spear
Quiet your heart quiet your mind
Hear the low rumble of my voice
Daddy's got you, love, it's my choice
There is only you and I, no other noise
Your eyes close as you drift in slumber
Shhhhh, Daddy's got you, with a smile
Stay here with me, just a little while
Leave the day behind, and all its guile
And laying the book aside, closing my eyes
Idly caressing, your skin is so soft
My baby darling, here, your home and croft
Your hopes and dreams I would keep aloft
You sleep deeply, peacefully I will pray
Well loved, my baby darling, my woman
Feel my words, I am not some showman
Rest your weary head here, dear woman

Dancing with you
resting with you
laying my weariness aside
my heart in your pocket
safe in your arms
tonight and all night long.

Meeting for coffee
gazing in your eyes time flies
as you hold my hand

I can't stop smiling
as you twist and twirl my hair
blushing at your touch

Talking for hours
you watch all my expressions
transparent to you

I treasure these days
more than you know darling
and look to the next

You live for the moment and your compassion for each other is unrivaled.
You each always think of the other person's feelings
and your unbridled kindness toward each other
inspires even your most cynical friends to give love a chance.

Heavy rain last night
Talking close, held in your lap
I treasure your love

A red tail hawk peers o'er us
as we kiss once again
taking a compass bearing anew
we are never alone dear
allies all around
and sweet husky puppies too
holding hands as the sun sets
cuddling on the porch
whispering secrets
'til we fall asleep

A waxing moon hangs
in a brilliant blue sky
your voice calm and serene
my emotions are unsteady
wobbly with gratitude
you hold my heart dear
brushed with red and purple
I trust you more each day
your prayers fly like incense
and your words reassure
helping me breathe deep
and know...that I am still
badass and beautiful
no matter what
... daddy says so.

We two are so earnest
Struggling we search
to find the right words
to hold each other
Always in deep care
no matter how hard
how exasperated
How deep the misunderstanding

I see you darling
You see me...
As if transparent

Hold me close now
Traveling through together
I breathe with you
In spite of the tears
Leaning into you
Trusting us. Trusting you.

Our foundation is strong
We are not broken
Mending these cracks
Not with plaster
But with suture...
So strong scar tissue forms
Even more durable than before

Wrap me in your arms luv
Bind me with your spells
Encircle me with that red thread
Enfold me in your care.
Feel my steady love dear
Know I won't let you fall
We will rise together
Whenever we stumble
Together we are formidable
A force like the ocean
Unstoppable.
Soft and hard
Ferocious and soothing
None can come between us
You are mine
And
I am yours

Come...
We have kinky fuckery to spread.

Celestial Events


The night air is mysterious with silver
I'm certain If I try hard enough
I just know, I know, I can touch it
Gathering up those argent rays of light

I stare up into the depths of space
A hundred billion stars all around me
The moon, my old friend, familiar
Soft, lends it presence all around me

She is bright, caresses my senses
A quiet cheeriness, comforting to behold
Her magic fills the air with a quiet intensity
A wishful blissful solemnity serenity

Tonight she is oh so full and yet so silver blue
The red fires of the lunar eclipse will consume her
And she becomes her colors or silver purple
Brief in passing, but, .....to live this one night

Ravens Flight



The cold wind and rain are relentless
Has been all day and now into the night
A night to stay home, warm and cozy

I recall her smiling face, shining eyes
A musical laugh, friendly voice
Her feminine charm and presence

Will she come in from the storm?
In her own time and fashion, I know
The porch light is on for her to find

Dinner, fast and efficient, nothing more
An interview on the radio for company
And the hours pass slowly on

An old record spins on the turntable
The lamp lights are dim and warm
Sipping a tumbler of whiskey, neat

Still on the same page of literature
The same page for the last long hour
Staring at the shifting hazy words

Lightning flashes far away
long low rumble of thunder
The rain drives harder against the window

A light tapping against the window
A tree branch swinging loose in the wind
Its persistence measured and sincere

Curious, and looking much closer
Drawing the drapes and opening the blinds
A great black bird finding a bit of ledge

A raven, its eyes shifting in alarm*
And yet it does not fly off, a wing trails loose
I hold its gaze with mine timelessly

In wonder and without a thought
Indeed, I can hardly recall how or when or why
The window is open and the raven enters

She cries at the hurts of the world and
Where the world has hurt her yet again
And I shake my head in wonderment

With pity and love I take her up
Raven shudders and rests against me
Granting her a place by my fire

Even as the storm howls without
Seeking raven, seeking me, our destruction
Demonic shrieks to join in the chaos

The window has closed and raven rests
Her adventures without are past and done
Here she heals her wing in sanctuary

Here my tale finds room to grow
As for raven, her wing has healed
Where will her next flight take her?

Dark Road to Lusty Oblivion


That dark swirl twists and turns
My soul writhes in twisted pleasures
Pulling you in your submission to me
Making you more and more mine

Reaching deeply into your lusts
I see them all, and those I don't
You will beg for me to reveal and taste
Stripping you naked and vulnerable

Show me your body, spread it wide
Be available for my inspection
Every day, I want you naked and wet
Every day, you know you will do it

Taking a fistful of your long hair
As you lean in and grasp my thigh
Look up at me, you show me all
Show me your lusty anticipation

Unfold all your pleasures and pain
I want your desperate hard edge
Binding you, twisting you to me
Corrupting your innocence, willingly

Until you are consumed with need
You already hunger to satisfy my lusts
Beyond anything you have ever known
Stripped of all pride and propriety

Now, tell me all your darkest secrets
I want them all from that meekest of voices
Do you dare to share in your sins
Reveal them to me as I fill you with my lust

Your wickedness is all mine too
Just like your innocence, all mine
To exploit and twist around your soul
And devour with my endless lust

A week of flowers
Petals so soft and pink
Glistening
With morning dew

A single bloom
Offered to a lover
Such gracious
...hospitality

A rare flower
Rosy pink
Opening to reveal
Sweet nectar

happy valentine's day darling
you have stitched yourself into my soul
through and through my heart
binding me to you
day by day, week by week, month by month
year by year...
wrap me in the warmth of your love
kissing you sweetly
our passion builds
a love as unique
as the patchwork enfolding us.

Coffeebreak Musings
Mrtenant

I love the way you move me
With no effort, by your heart alone
How, oh how, can I be worthy?
And yet, daily, our love has grown

My heart pours forth like a river
Overflowing its banks from a storm
Your warm touch makes me shiver
No rhyme, no reason, without form

I'll treasure all these heady times
Blessing us and filling our hearts
Graced here with prose and rhymes
Immortalized with bright Cupid darts[/QUOTE]

In need of Belonging

She was the kind of girl
That was all woman
Until she yearned to still be a girl

She was lovely and shy
Sweet, easy on the eye
But underneath she was the apple of mine eye

She was winsome and chic
Pearls, fleece, or lace, blush on her cheek
And in my bedroom a bit of a freak

She was heels, always on the go
Head in the clouds, country roads you know
Hard driving, top down, just try and follow

She was buttered scones and cream tea
Red lacy top and short skirt at a café with me
Legs apart my hand drawing up her knee

She was pure sweetness
I mean, wantonness
Maybe a little bit damsel in distress

She was exceptionally warm and sunny
Giggling inappropriately at things not funny
Always secretly an aspiring rope bunny

She wore nothing but lavender soap
She liked to be dressed then only in rope
What came next she felt in her throat

She was a woman full of longing
A girl in too much need of holding
Together truly only in need of belonging
