Blood and beauty
and how we fall
with the jagged edges of life
softened with love
or meticulously opening
a vein
leaving us ashen
with blood loss

Emotional bloodbath
Quite often when I write it is what I am feeling intensely at the moment and the words spill like blood from a fresh, deep cut.
When I revisit those same words, a day, a month, a year later, the emotions can still feel like a wound that has not been cauterised and I am transported back to the moment my thoughts were bared.
The feelings are not the same, but I am unable to cast an indifferent eye upon them. I find myself gazing at them from a safe distance, peering over the rim of that abyss, no desire to wade in, hip deep, to the pain.

Irresolute
I will not speak to you through my words.
though you will find my answer there.
I will give you my voice
untutored
and irresolute
replete with the cracks and inflection of emotion
as I battle myself
and allow a dismantling of this mighty fortress I’ve erected.
Each stone removed
giving way to vigorous expression of thought
becoming certain
urged on by the slight presence of fingers
at the small of my back.
No guide
simply assurance.

The bluffs
I run along the bluffs
laughing, looking back at you.
The wind rushes through my hair
and tugs at my clothes.
Your look is determined
as you close the distance.
The sea rolls and crashes just beyond my steps.
I am intoxicated by the scent
the power I sense
making me wild
making me bold.
The adrenaline is pumping through my veins
my nearness to you
pushing me into overdrive.
You catch me
we tumble to the ground
your mouth finding mine.
I close my eyes
losing myself
in how you feel
in how you taste.
I arch my body to yours
desperate to get closer
as you press your body to mine.
I feel you
hard
wanting me.
The kiss gathers heat
breaths and tongues mingled, tangled
a delicious union.
You start to peel my clothes from my body
slowly
oh so slowly
as your mouth marks mine
as favoured territory.
My mind is saturated with you
and this mindless need
echoed in the way you fit your body to mine.
Our clothes litter the ground
and my skin meets yours in a sensuous dance
you slip into me
the moment sublime
as the setting sun
slides into the sea.

Kiss the dawn
Kiss the dawn
With lips that have felt midnight’s caress
Dreams laden
With the press of his thoughts
Like hot skin upon mine
Molten with need
Unmet
His breath
Rent with my own
As greed is built
With every hour of darkness
That we allow the restraints of day
To melt away
And we fall into each other’s arms

Denouement
The ivories he tickles are behind her eyes
each note
unexpected
raw
but becoming beautiful
as the song emerges
.
And with this sudden denouement
her story unfolds

Descent
I don’t fall fast
My descent is slow
Achingly so
And with that drawn out
Downward trajectory
I savor all that it means
How it makes me feel
The way it transforms every moment
Nerves alight
Skin tingling
A vivid hue
And every synapse firing
As I give myself over to it
And him
Faith
Trust
Surrender
