xxxHauling trash isn’t that bad a job, thought Mark, as he drove away from the now-deserted American Legion Hall. Unbuttoning his sweat soaked shirt, he let the wind blow across his big, sweaty chest. Of course, loading and unloading all that stuff in this heat comes close to resembling real work. But hauling it away, that’s a snap.While grinning at his own joke, he double-clutched and downshifted before stopping at the...

Stolen kisses beneath the OakA flash of a breast in the moonlightTentative touches under the cover of darknessMuted pleasures as we veil ourselves in the forestAphrodite-like perfection masquerading as ArtemisSummer longing turns to Autumn lustWinter's icy kiss becomes the whispered vows of SpringLibation to Apollo as we unite in a field in full bloomPlaying joyful songs as my bride dances in the meadowAnd we lay beneath...

WhereToday is like any other day. The sun comes up in the east. By chance the sky is a pale blue. As your mind clears, your thoughts float to "where are they?" Friends come and go but ... Where are they? Do they also think as I do. Will they reach out, or just go about their day? Looking at the sky as I. Across the great void the sun comes up in the east as it does here. But where have all of my friends gone?

Do you miss me As much as I miss you The way your eyes look into mine Always smiling as they do The sound of your laughter The way you sing to me I know some things are temporary And subjected to change But one thing is true As true as day turns to night And back again in time As each hour passes Missing you makes loving you So much stronger

I've waited patiently to be the woman by your side; I've watched my other romancesas they ran their course and died; I've always wanted you, but you were so very far away; Never in my loving armsat the end of each long day;  Now we meet again,after 'lo these many years; And the love I feel for youis worth the time I spent in tears; Though you are not yet free, my time I'll calmly bide; For I still dream of the dayI'll be...

You may not know  for I won’t tell just how much you've cast your spell  Stolen moments borrowed time shared jokes happy lines  Thoughts of you makes my heart race awake and alone I imagine your face  With just your presence makes me feel anew for all I want is a moment with you  Each word you sketch a perfect reflection who can blame those that steal your affection  So this game we play you lead and I follow while with y...

The horizon always looks much brighter,that is where the rainbows belong,not here near me,where all the lights are dim.It's on the horizon that you belong too,you're a bright spot so far away,that even though I want to be with you,there are many mountains blocking my way.Your presence with me,always seems like a dream,that I will never achieve,but maybe with time,you will finally appear, just like a gift.For now my love,I...

How frustrating.Fickle Fate threw us together,Pairing an unlikely coupleWhose paths should ne’er have crossed.A cruel mistress,She teased us with love, Budding affection whichThrived and grew -Then she viciously tore us apart.And I miss you.Frustration.It’s not a strong enough wordTo explain the anger,The desperate despairAt finding myself a hapless victimOf green-eyed Fate’s sadistic games.And Time,She’s no better.That t...

Inspired by the Grass Roots Song: Midnight Confessions She saunters to the table, wearing that little black dress that she knows I love to see on her. Her smile tells me that the drink in her hand isn’t her first. It’s comfortable, relaxed, happy, and not just a little flirtatious. The music in the background is soft, but evident and her hips sway unconsciously to it’s rhythm. “Are you just going to sit there all night? O...

Can't concentrate on my reading,  Thinking what you're doing right now. Are you enjoying the night with someone? Are you thinking about me tonight? Can't eat, I have no appetite Even for a mouth watering food. Are you eating well with someone? Are you wishing for me tonight? Can't sleep, my eyes are closed But my mind wonders where you are. Are you sleeping beside someone? Are you dreaming of me tonight? Can't I just have...

It's true that every young girl is a dreamer  She dreams each day to give her heart away  For Love so true it takes her to the heavens  Love's aching loneliness she'll kiss away I've known the best that Love can surely offer  Been past the joys of Love's extremities  I've been around the stars so many times now  I quite forgot how lonely one can be I sit and watch the rain lash on my window  Hear howling winds that blow t...

I long for your smile,to see your pretty face.I crave to feel your touch,tenderness of your embrace.I desire to hear your laughterfor it’s music in my ears.Your voice softly whispers,and wipes away all my fears.My vision of youis right here with me.This is the only placeyou were meant to be.You've made your homehere within my heart,but fate has been unkind,distance has kept us apart.I imagine the fiery sparklethat twinkle...

A Winter's DayThat winter's day was pure and white,The nip of cold in morning’s light.A chimney’s smoke was twisting high,Reaching up in the grey blue sky.It took me back to my faded youth,A less complex time of trust and truth.The days were long and filled with joy,Our love was fresh, not brash and coy.The still air was broken by icy chill,Snowflakes falling on the window sill.The journey was long, my trek complete,It wa...

Is love but a fleeting feeling?Or something that is true?Is it just a passing emotion?Why is it drawing me to you?Is love about finding beauty?Why is there so much pain?Can it truly mend a broken heart?Can it make me whole again?Is it love that bonds us together?Or desire that controls our minds?Can my love be a soulful promise?Or did I just simply waste your time?Is love like a hidden secret?One that I am so unaware?Does...
