Love invisible
rooted deep within the heart
grows strong like the oak
soft scents of flowers
spring blooms in lovers eyes
desires entangle
This week at Poet’s United we are besting Hallmark with personal expressions of love!!! Love is not a card.

Picture Desire #photography
Picture desire
the belief in goodness
sweet, confident repose of a puppy
waves carelessly lapping at your heels
the ability to resist hatred and war
the intertwining of beauty
love’s pas de deux
♥
Desires are central to the soul’s unfolding and should not be dismissed before giving them careful attention.

Drawn Together… #oneshotwednesday #poetry
My first sweep of your jawline
a shade around your nose
caught on your eyes
what happened who knows
**
I sketched until dawn
a face that I’d rendered
then why were my lips
shaking and tender
***
I peered deeper
you looked back at me
what had I done
had I set my love free?
**
To settle on a face
the one of my dreams
Oh what a fool
to believe in such schemes
**
I continued to draw
each night until dawn
nothing changed
what had gone wrong?
***
Hearing a sound
before the sun rose
a knock on the door
could it be? I don’t know
***
There you stood
rays circling your face
the man in my drawing
it was you in this place
I recently started drawing again. I have spent hours, days on a face. I imagined what it would be like to draw someone into existence ~ Voila!

Dream Another Night Away #Valentine #DuetPoetry
She is in his dreams dancing lightly across his sighs
closer than a whisper warming his heart
waking his need to dance with love
they dance to the soft sounds of night
spinning with the stars above and the lights in her eyes
***
Desire awakening with each kiss
perfection in each fluid move
finding endless hope in cosmic display
lover’s plight to only meet at night
days spent dreaming of the lover missed
***
Their rival daylight
in darkness ecstasy takes flight
tantalizing essence mesmerizes and captivates
lovers intertwined in a feast of senses
exploring the infinite horizons of joy so right
***
They revel in a world never fraught with pain
seize one last lingering kiss before dawn
walking in a daze until they dream another night away
eyes close reminding him of
stormy currents turbulent plains

The Lover’s Song #oneshotwednesday
Awakened in the morning
serenaded by my favorite sound
“I love you so my darling
you are my heart’s desire”
***
Rambling through my day
softly humming my lover’s song
clinging to the phrase
“I am his heart’s desire”
***
A moment that I take
I dream of us awake
passion there is still
“you are my heart’s desire”
***
Prepared to meet his gaze
fragrance fills the air
reminders of my love
hanging here and there
***
Eyes caught in candlelight
there’s longing in my song
“You are my heart’s desire”
you are where I belong…

In the Echo (Flash Fiction 55)
She listened for his voice.
He called, “Where are you?”
The echo seemed to assault
“W_H_E_R_E A_R_E Y_O_U?”
“I’m here,”she called back
“I can’t seeee you,” his words echoed desirous
“I’m here…
closer than your next breath”
longing echo whispered in his ear
he could almost feel her
in the echo.
Thanks to G-Man aka Mr Know it All for hosting a great flash fiction each week. We always have fun trying to create a story in 55 words. Come along with us and try your hand.

I Took It!
I took it!
No – I didn’t steal
not a cent
you offered it to me
for real!
***
like my favorite scent
which flower
I”m not sure
give me a moment
I know it’s a type of fleur
****
Memories of the five and dime
candy for a cent
beauty in every sweet
can taste those flavors yet
*****
a fragrance greater than a rose
desire beyond confectionary treat
it was your love you sent
most fragrant and sweet
penned in moon dust
