I'm sorry I didn't see this till now but offer my sympathy and empathy. I lost my best friend (of 50+ years) in 2020. I still remember the day we met. She was seven years older than me and yet we clicked immediately. We talked for hours that first night and stayed close in our hearts (if not in location) over the years, loads of phone calls, letters and precious visits. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died less than two months later. I miss her so much even though there's still a conversation between us going on in my head. That's easy as I can pretty much predict what she'd have to say about anything. I treasure my memories of our friendship.

I think I know something of how you feel. May Paul's memory always be a blessing for you.

Thank you my friend.

Passage

When the day comes
And I am forgotten
Whereby trees have grown
And been felled
Moss grown on crumbled stone
Rumors of my passing
Faded away by decades
Even centuries long past
Who will know of my struggles
My loves and my deeds
Will my words have meaning
My songs still be sung
Tales of my passage
of that era long ago
Was I worthy
Who will know

Until then will I pray
For the strength to love you
Before they hew me down
Take my hand my love
Walk with me awhile
Take heart for the time we share
On the earth among the stars

As long as there are two left in this world who remember you, you will live on.
I expect you will live on long past your days.

I adore you. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever.

Lovers In The Dark

Feeling you in my mind
How I want to grab you hair
Fistful of passion
Baring your neck and lips
For searing kisses
That would blow your mind

Pushing you against the wall
Your arms held up above
Trailing kisses down your body
Parting your legs with a knee
Biting, pulling, ripping clothes
Right there, against the wall

Tasting your moans on my lips
Muscles hard with intensity
Promises to deliver
That feeling you been craving
Savoring your violent shrieks
How the moans escape your lips

Laying there in dark
Drifting in and out of sleep
With you in my arms
Sweating, tired, and sore
Warm cuddles and caresses
Satisfied there in the dark



<For my valentine>

 

[cascadiabound]

Your love has shown me how to be better at all of these.
Happy Valentine's Day darling.

Lakeside


Passions ran hot
That steamy Summer night
In the leather back seat
Of that old 65 Coupe

Out among the trees
Down by the lake
Tom Petty on the radio
Way late at night

You should have been home
Tucked in bed asleep
Playing the innocent
Instead of sneaking out

They just don't understand
Doddy old fashioned parents
Baby grew up
She's off to college in the Fall

She'll be home on time
I'll make sure of that
Yes sir, yes ma'am
Untouched unspoiled

How shocked they'd have been
By the lusty words
Coming from her mouth
Her lips filled with passion

Burning taste of whiskey
Cigarette smoke and perfume
Sweat and hormones
Curses and kisses

Again! she would cry out
Insatiable and wondrous
It was worth the hassle
Sure to come the next day

Over and over again
On the steamy Summer night
Foggy windows
In that car park by the lake

Kisses By The Sea

Weaver of threads and words
Lover of life steeped in passion
Who is she this lady in red
Whose song I can always hear

How shall I touch your hand
Dancing beneath the trees
Moon and stars shining merrily
Your hazel eyes in reflection

Darling, how I thirst for a taste
Your lips your kisses your heart
Feel the waves of my passion
Cascade upon you

Our currents blending
Deep beneath the waves
An ocean of delight
Willing us together

In my dreams is our kiss
Fresh exciting
Calm serene
Timeless

 

[Moochienanu]

The ocean calls in a tongue I already know—
salt on my lips,
a rhythm that pounds like blood in my veins.

Waves rise and fall,
slow at first,
teasing,
then crashing harder,
pressing me under,
filling every hollow
with the taste of surrender.

I let the tide claim me,
let it drag me deeper,
until I no longer know
where the sea ends
and my body begins.

Rain begins to fall,
soft needles at first,
cool against overheated skin,
then heavier, harder—
a thousand tiny touches
pelting every surface,
drenching me,
opening me wider.

The water is everywhere now,
sliding down my curves,
pooling in secret places,
rushing in waves I cannot hold back.

I arch into it,
let it spill through me,
a flood that drowns thought,
leaves only sensation.

The storm does not end,
it only changes shape,
and I beg the ocean to take me again,
to break me open
with every relentless surge.

***I wrote this without a place to post… but I think it belongs here.

And the World Keeps Turning

Was I ever the antelope
Skipping across the prairie
Full of youth and vigor
On a bright Spring day

Yesterday I was the eagle
Soaring high in the deep blue
Then diving fearlessly
Certain of my prey

Leaves now whispering, it is time
Night comes with its moon and stars
Where will you go my dear
When the cold wind blows

Spinning the long years to Winter
He is coming for us all
Come share with me my warmth
Shelter in our hearts

Sunrise returns in full glory
Gleaming through the icicles
Amid the the melting drips
Shaking off the cold

Lovers Meeting

Overcast sky, softly gray and cool
Street cobbles glazed misty wet
Yellow bus taking them off to school
Morning traffic inevitable and yet

That song echoing in my head
Streetlights sighing with the day
Red, then green, walk now it said
Hands in my pockets, its this way

To the old 1418 and its hearty brews
Dark steaming coffee and scones
Dim corners resting my weary shoes
People talking, fiddling with their phones

Steaming cup and its earthy aroma
Awakens me to what may might be
Mists melting by the sunrise corona
There in the doorway, looking for me
