Tulip
it must have happened while we slept
on cool spring's night,
a secret kept...
toiling through dawn
'til it was done
unfurling leaves to morning's sun
golden cupped petal beauty appeared in
wild tussled blades of grass
among the season's first his year
and hopefully, won't be the last
endured noon's rainy gray skies
soft intermittent showers
in evening garden proudly stands
season's most precious flower
each time at I glance through window's pane
I cannot help but smile
september's realized promises,
grow tall & stay awhile !

[untitled poem]
like dancing moth
fascinated by
luminous flame
i craving....
moving like
snake
gaze down
on
satin sleek
hard
ebony obelisk
form... pure perfection
size impressive
loving your stamina
and motion
eternally
internally
sweet moments
calculating ..
waiting
wanting to
seize...conquer
and devour all
[poem by me 3/2006, copyrighted & inspired by who else ???? my husband! - from poetry's page]

2:AM precision sting
whileI'm sleeping
you like to sweetly disturb...
awakening the feisty scorpion
that's dangerously situated
between two calm
honey'd thighs
I hear your softly moan and sigh
stroking my silk, unit l'm so wet
your slippery fingers slide,
inside, as I grip tight
you hold your breath.....
Now that,
I'm awake no longer dreaming
the iron's hot pressed hard against my spine
I'm feeling you but....
taking my sweet time
calculating my own strike
on your post midnight maneuvers
as you continue innocently to play me
like instrument
wanting to get me crazy
I feel pure fire,
my muscles
constricting inside like python
ready for prey
I can be fierce, on to your game
Make you cry
call out my name
turn your tables
back on you
when i constrict around sweet iron,
as I love to do
once I've got you on your back
working you
know, I'll attack
a twilight challenge
from onyx and well hung
I'm waking up...
Want to get stung?
Watch me
Make u
scream!

a SAD commentary -
An article brought to my attention
from my Honduran friend Joy.
Racism still rearing it's ugly head in 2006 toward Afro Honduran
& the Garifuna. [ Miguel Angel Gámez comments on Race]
I am glad the Ambassador of Bolivia Garzia-Paz, Congressmen Rangel, Payne, Meeks
respectively, Sent the a letter requesting an inquiry to President of the Republic of Honduras.
[translated from Spanish]
How ignorant? imho - I hope they vote him out of office, soon or he changes his mindset, to progressive.
