inside out

Don’t worry I won’t tell

about the way you stole my heart

over romance I tripped and fell

don’t worry I wont tell

over sugary notes I tripped and fell

bloodied by your pointed darts

don’t worry I wont tell

about the day you ripped my heart

I love it when I stumble over a drafted poem. This one penned in 2014 for Valentine’s Day

In your eyes #poetry #valentinesday

Moon light silhouette

shadowed sculptured lines

fingers smooth imperfections

Broken Elevator #poetry #valentinesday

February 14, 2015February 13, 2015 by moondustwriter, posted in Love, Photography, Poetry

white bloody rose

haunted by a memory

of an elevator ride

my heart torn in pieces

carved with a sharp knife

if only I could grasp

some meaning in your eyes

I wouldn’t have to work

at reading between the lines

here I am in motion

imagining your kiss

the thorns from a rose

pierced me on the lift

the floor is done rising

eyes lower to the door

open hands left holding

what was broken long before

Lover’s Dance #valentine #poetry #photography

February 14, 2014February 12, 2014 by moondustwriter, posted in black and white, Love, nature, Photography, Poetry

Gentle mist upon my forehead

covers me with diamond dew

fragrant kisses call me softly

velvet points our pas de deux

Let us dance upon the four winds

impassioned lovers take our cue

when night’s curtain is a falling

dearest, hold me near to you

I had to pull an archived romantic poem for lovers today!

It’s just for a day… #poem #photography #valentine

February 13, 2014 by moondustwriter, posted in Photography, Poetry, poets united

were it for a day

should I gently

place

such a precious thing

recipient of my dreams

in your hands?

were it for a day

would I with but single thought

lay

an offering

treat you like a king

at attention would I stand?

were it for a day

present for you

a feast

decant my finest wine

give all that is mine

pretend that you are grand?

were it for one day

with this

rusty key

I’d offer you my love

poured out from my heart

devotion to one man

The Key took its own direction and as I was meandering toward romantic it was turning another way but I guess in the end we came to an agreement – of sorts.

A most Happy Valentine’s Day. My valentine is far from the moon; the key will have to keep me company.

The Midweek Motif (at Poet’s United) not surprisingly is Heart.

Who would hold the key to yours????

“Be Mine” writing-challenge-valentine #poetry #valentine’sday

February 11, 2014February 11, 2014 by moondustwriter, posted in Photography, Poetry, post a day, wordpress

What if he should read

the words I wrote 100 years from now

of knights and dragons

and hidden away princesses

would he think it mere fantasy?

I write faithfully with my pen

of dark misty hollows

places to be lost

corners to be found

hoping dreams never to end

can ideas inscribed in ink

compare to blue moon lit dances

long hair billowing

in salty air’s breeze

as spicy music romances

soft lacy valentine bouquet

encircles my heart

a smile is your only answer

to “be mine”

the place where fantasy starts

~AGAIN…

Written in Moon Dust #poetry #love

February 12, 2013February 11, 2013 by moondustwriter, posted in Love, Poetry


I shake last night from my head
memories linger bright like the sun
a warm brush with moon light
Her glowing tendrils of hair reflect gold
lips speak  whispers into my ear
my heart with her is never cold
She leaves an imprint behind
*
There's a knowing "she will return"
to hold me in her arms
beam love through me
I think about her beauty from the inside out
her words I hold in my hands
they are clearly
Written in silvery moon dust

Dream Another Night Away #Valentine #DuetPoetry

February 13, 2011February 13, 2011 by moondustwriter, posted in Love, Poetry

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
