Secrets to keep
Secrets destroy
Secrets heal
Secrets misplaced
Are secrets that sleep
Until time reveals
What secrets keep

Fate Foretold
However hard I fight the inevitable,
strain against what fate has foretold,
I cannot stop what the feel of your skin
does to me.
Your lips soft
your touch tiny pinpricks
shivering across my skin.
Deny it,
rebel against it,
it does not matter.
In the end
I will always be
in body, mind and soul
yours.

Hidden in Strength
They say I am the strongest
that I can weather any storm,
be there to hold things together
while others collapse and fall.
What they do not realize
is behind closed doors
where prying eyes cannot see
is the child inside,
who does hurt,
who does bleed.
That even those who seem strong
can, in time, break,
the strength draining away
revealing the truth hidden deep.
The strongest of us have a weakness.
Even the strongest of us can fall and weep.

An Evil Veiled
Mistakes made
Pride broken
Lessons learned
Well remembered
Question is
Will you see
The next time
Temptation strikes
An evil veiled
In beauty’s
Cloak

The Truth That is Me
When the image I see
In my mind
No longer matches
The image I see
In my mirror
My eyes are finally open
To the truth
That is me

Forbidden
To touch
to feel
that which is forbidden.
To know that even though
the dangers that surround us,
pull us apart at every turn
will not destroy how your skin
feels against mine.
How the feel of your lips
send shivers across my skin
as we dance under the stars.
Promise me
you will not abandon me,
leave me to the cold darkness
where you found me.
Show me
what words cannot say.
That our love
jealous rage means to destroy
will survive the coming storm.
Promise me
that our love will transcend
time and space
and that the heat
you shine down upon me
will forever
warm my dark soul.

Survive Another Day
To trust once trust is broken
To love again once love has died
Difficult at best
Impossible for most
But possible none the less
When necessity is born
And choices are taken away
To overcome impossibilities
So life may survive another day

A Play on Words
Your skin silky smooth
Long
Hot
Tempting me to tread
Places I know
In the end
Will haunt me
For eternity ©
I was at Red Robin waiting for my hubby to show up when and idea hit me. Why not take something in everyday life and make it sexy. I have seen this done before, but I being around all that food gave me my subject. I also wanted to see the response I would get on Twitter since no one would see the picture until after they read the poem. he he he. It was a lot of fun. 🙂
Purge My Mind
I stare at the computer screen
Wanting…no needing to write
There is something inside me
Desperately wanting to come out
To weave that magically spell of words and emotions
Us storytellers live for
But something is stopping me
Holding me back
Turning my words into distance cries
Keeping the emotions of my thoughts
From showing me what it is they yearn to tell me
Somehow I must break this dam
Purge my mind of distractions
So the story inside of me
Can weave its magic
Spellbinding those who wish to fly away
On a journey of horror, romance, suspense
But most of all
Happy endings
