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!
