Crush On You

Think for a moment of your greatest desire, perhaps unspeakable, played out in a dream. A dinner divine, candlelight, wine. In background soft melodies beckoning. Anticipation, laughter, words nervously shared, what comes next, exploring, two souls will engage.

Lights dim ever slowly, shadows dance
Candlelight quivers by gentle breeze
Soft music scintillates, ecstasy
Your movements stirring, passionately

Lips part, fall silent, yet whispering
Things of the night, no mention by day
Slowy circle, release not my gaze
Dominance, bound by silken restraint

Hear none but silence, save two hearbeats
Quickened, anxious, with cadence between
Veins coursing, energized, pulsating
Glance, look away, eyes darting, transfixed

Crush, what a crush…so deep for you

Open, my hand, for all that you take
Perhaps for tonight, a lifetime yet
But a chance for love without regret
I beg just one kiss, sweet tender lips

Divine your intention, cast away
All inhibition, consume of me
Give me this night, gently, without end
To touch, to hold, erotic embrace

Crush, uncontrolable…crush on you

With soul of an angel, blessed be
The moments we share, so tenderly
Caress mind and soul, though never take
From me this night, this desire for you

My love unconditional, yours to forsake

This crush, intensity…crush on you

He Sang To Me

My grandfather, on my dad’s side of the family, was a big man physically, with the heart of an angel. I miss him dearly, lost so many years ago. He was a mentor and a friend with a gentle heart and wisdom passed down through the ages. I still hear his deep yet quiet voice, soft-spoken song that exuded warmth. There were precious moments, savoured to this day, that I will hold close to my heart for all of my years.

Your laughter calmed and reassured
A voice of sound reason, Heaven-sent
Words of guidance, sometimes of scorn
Glance of acceptance, a loving friend
Illness took you so long, long ago
The pain of your absence burns within
No longer I sit upon your knee
Hear soft your whisper, singing a song
“Amazing Grace”, eyes moistened with tears
Bagpipes sounding from speakers behind
Drums beat in unison, hauntingly
Lamenting great loss, chorus of dreams
Once a proud sailor in uniform
Amidship at sea, standing your watch
Churning waters swell beneath your feet
Our flag raised with honour, dignity
Years later you walked a curbside beat
An officer of rank keeping peace
Now rest without song,watch over me
My guardian angel ever near
I long for those days you sang to me
Of love, of hope and integrity

Goodbye for now my dearest friend

Here For You

Finite moments of passion once shared
One touch, one stroke, inquisitively
Tender our kiss, deep, longing desire
A night without end, intense, foreplay

Impressions, deception, questioning
At a glance all was right, destiny
Emotions transcend borderless thought
Embrace what matters, release the rest

Minutes pass into hours, into days
Hastened heartbeat, first glance, look away
Tears mirror darkness, a painful past
We have tomorrow, infinitely

In error, forgiveness, accepting
Small imperfections, don’t hesitate
In silence awaiting, here for you
A moment, a lifetime, loving you

So Long Apart

So long this son I have not seen, distant yet near, a curtain between. The phone calls that never come, the giddy laughter, the trail hikes, the beach, the poolside banter. We were once so close, since drawn apart, emotions swing from longing to hurt.

Gone without answer, silent, you wait
Unclear the reasons, nor do I ask
Heated words so divided our bond
Taken to heart, avoidance you chose

Years from now do I answer your call
An effort from me to make amends
Cast light on darkness, you fail to see
The regret that haunts me, losing you

Mistakes we both made may come to pass
Realized failures, an outstretched hand
Embrace what we had, father and son
Love and affection, a closeness then

So long apart, the memories live
The hours we shared, such tenderness
The fears I expressed, the path you chose
I spoke out of love and nothing more
