Melodic Touch
Lil bluebird carry true
this message from my heart
to he who lives across the hills
who'll hear your song of "Love Me Dear",
and know just where your journey
had its start.
Lil bluebird trill the melody
I've left with you this lonely day
so he will understand my dream,
feel emotions running through, and
know the miles won't stall the smile
his memory brings my way.
Now hurry, little bluebird,
you know the way to go.
Hopefully,
I'll see you soon and hear
you sing another lover's tune.

Clueless
He said, "You're naughty,"
but he couldn't have a clue.
Never has he felt the touch
of long silken fingers
run over his chest with a heat
intense enough to reach the
depths of his rapid beating heart.
Nor has he tasted sweet desire
from the blush of her lips or
from the coral paintbrush
waiting to design.
Never has he seen the ruby
fire behind sapphire eyes that
displays the "naughty" of this
passionate romanticist.
No, he didn't have a clue.

With this ring...
The bluest flames of friendship
burn; they tease with tender touch
and taunt with shock-waves
through my cravings. The
sensual hand of companionship
reaches out, but...
the stars lead in a miss-direction;
this highway bound for ex-
clusive romance is marred by
golden rings and wedding vows.

A Cold Moment
Damn that spark of desire.
It flares from a knavish tongue.
If only once I could bathe in the
flames of sincerity, perhaps the
orange of a cold, deceitful
fire would burst into a blue
inferno of hope.

On a Clear Day
When chilling breezes bend the trees
and frosty mornings wilt the leaves,
beguiling, winter’s fingers tease.
The lulling summer sun will grieve
as agitated winds appear,
disrupting what the orb believed
a perfect day for skies to clear.
The lulling summer sun will grieve,
when time refuses to concede,
as icy droplets now deceive
a startled star that wrongly bleeds.
The lulling summer sun will grieve
when chilling breezes bend the trees;
the lulling summer sun will grieve.

Written for a contest, thought I'd share it with you
Forever Naught
If fairy tales were real and life was fantasy
a white knight, on a gallant steed, would always cherish me.
But life is not that way, no silver prince to wed,
just nights of how I wish it was upon this lonely bed
where nightmares rule my mind, dark memories of the past,
a black king who was led by greed, his violent ways held fast
until the day I fled his tyranny and hate.
How did that lovely pink princess fall prey to such a mate?
For now, the world has changed, no iron fist to fear,
yet here aloneness dwells inside, I pray for love to near.
I long to be that red queen, forever valentine,
for one who has a noble heart to intertwine with mine.
Alas, this tarnished lady, has naught but loathsome dreams,
for life has played its wicked games, fulfilled its daunting schemes.

A Distant Terrain
I stare upon this ground
his feet have trod, then
kneel and run my fingers
through the soil. By sifting
through the dreg he's left
behind, perhaps, I'll understand
those reasons why a vision
we once shared no longer lingers.
I feel within the residue
a pain that keeps his course
impelled away from me, but
what it is my mind cannot
discern. I've never seen
this anguish in his eyes
nor have I heard
him weeping wretchedly.
So how am I to comprehend
distress in one who disallows
me on the path? He said today,
"I'm not ignoring you, there's
too much on my plate to stay
on track." But I remember when
I'd help him fill the holes throughout
the road. I want it back—
clinched hand in hand along the same footpath.

Illusion
If only I could touch your face.
My love, you've commandeered my heart,
but distance leaves us in a place
where mind and spirit tear apart
the boundaries of a mortal world.
Endearment wraps me in your fire
then leads me to a heated land.
Exploring every shared desire
my passion pours at your command
upon this secret lovers' cove
where time cannot control the sands.
Don't leave me when that earthly wave
destroys this haven built by two.
Conceal me in emotion's haze
where all I know are scenes of you,
when stroking me, within this dream.
