BEYOND THE CLOUDS A sonnet As clouds above yield dreary days below While high above the sunlight fills the sky So just beyond the stormy clouds we fly To places never seen our spirits go. The brilliance of your love thou doth bestow As it carries passion's pleasures on a sigh That speaks of secret answers owning why The love that binds our hearts doth overflow. Gone forever fear of hearts rejected, For to lose such love would be a wretched curse, So feel the heavenly rays from clouds reflected, And drown me in your love, my heart immerse; Two souls shall touch once more with warmth expected And evoke the beauty of the universe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TOUCH ME kissing my breath away, show me the way to heaven's door holding my eyes with yours. Tenderly lead me to burning bliss where passion's fire shines brightly from smiling eyes, ..melting ...merging ....loving to mercies' tender rest. ***********
Gently touch meThinking of nights
in his arms
covered with droplets
of passion,
no regrets.
A catcher of hearts
in a seeking game
tailored to his needs,
he tinkered with her
fragile being.
Yet she saw him not as a user
but pressed the memory scent
of rose garden
in her haunting dreams.
For
all that he did
left fantasies flying her to
heights of ecstasy;
Ready now
to play
for keeps.
*************
REGRETS
By haunting memories of you I'm driven,
The longing for your touch in me awoke
A desperate need at last to be forgiven
And ne'er again such feelings to provoke.
Defensiveness and anger made me blind
To how my words could cause you to retreat,
But now alone with open eyes and mind
I see the pain of words spoken in heat.
The echoes of sarcastic words now mock
Because of pain and bitterness I've tasted
With anxious heart I listen for your knock,
Regretting loss of treasured moments wasted.
Return my love, forgive, and I will thrive
Once more your gaze upon me will excite.
With you alone I feel I am alive,
In tenderness my senses you delight.
