More old poems.

Better to break these up than to have a blog that's ten miles long. lol

Desire's Aroma

Let me breathe deep
your wanton aire
filling my lungs
with the soft, supple, sweetness
of you;
stealing away in moments
of satin, pillowed caresses
in torn fabrics of purest passion.
Diamond dewy beads of sweat
glistening on moonlight glowing flesh,
quenching thirsts of lust inspired cravings
and long-lost romantic loves.
Inhale now my life's breath,
with lips devouring,
limbs entwined
bodies crashing in rhyming rythms,
surging with the Goddess tide of
loves eternal ebb and flow.
Gasp the scent of pleasure's petals,
ecstacy's perfumed delight,
enraptured aroma of desire's perfection...
the height of you and I.

A Soul Betrayed
by: Nikki

Had they even bothered
to unearth even the slightest
of my deepest fears...
they might have known...
somehow in their oh-so-closed 'open' minds...
that it was they who held the power...
and power corrupts...
And so it was that I was corrupted,
becoming the antithesis
of their Sunday-mornin'
hodge podge of lies and deceit;
of their 'brother, sister, how'd'ya do,
the Lord Almighty'll come for you
and toast you in a fiery fit of rage and retribution...
but ya be sure ta come back and visit with us again sometime'
spew of festering dogma garbage...
ready to take the wisdom words of "Love thy neighbor"
and paste it into their oh-so-convenient
spiritual suburb
of cookie-cutter religion, where "All have sinned
and come short of the glory..."
with the exception of the Pastor's wife,
who OFCOURSE had to be
cream-cheese and strawberries perfection,
lest the congregation frown upon her humanity.
...and oh how I wanted to believe...
and how I TOO was deceived...
As they cradled me in their lulling, strangling, vines
of the comfort of conformity,
I began to choke and spew forth my human nature
in guttering spurts of bible-brainwashed-bile...
crying my anguish of faith-abandoned.
And where was my comforter?
I found no comfort in those 'saints of God'...
as they subtly removed my name from their
cherry-blossom-choosy Christmas card list...

And so my fears of loss and leaving,
of God's betrayal and deceit,
of love in name alone, and not in substance,
were brought to the bitter, stabbing, blinding light of truth.
To think that all my soul longed for,
was to sing it's freedom-spirit song
and bless the souls of even one...
and now that voice is silenced.

And they fear me?

...As You Slept...
by: AradiaRising (Nikki)
(For Mike)

Last night while you slept
and while I lay awake
I listened to every breath
you would take

and held each one carefully
near to my soul.
I put my arm around you
so that I could hold

you closer and closer
and feel you so near,
quietly whispering
love in your ear.

You didn't notice,
as your sleep was so deep,
that each little moment
I was trying to keep

locked tight in my heart box
safe and sound in the night
so that I'd never lose it
and could hold to it, tight.

I do this as each day
passes by us in time
for I know that 'forever'
is a state of mind.

I treasure each moment
of laughter and tears
and I carry them with me
to last through the years.

For one day, I fear
that you will be no more
and loneliness will come,
once again, to my door,

and I can't live without you...
that lesson I've learned.
Just a moment and I feel
like I've crashed and I've burned.

So, I keep all things sacred,
even our little spats,
for I know that with you
is where heaven is at...

and one day, when you're gone,
as I've seen in my mind,
with sacred memories I know
I won't be far behind.

Life is uncertain,
and doesn't last long,
but true love is eternal,
lasting, and strong.

So if one morning I wake
to find your heart still
my memories will keep me
holding on until

the day when our souls
are again one, at last
and there are no more worries
of future and past.

The light of your smile
is the light that I see
when I have my visions
of eternity.

So wait for me, darling,
should you cross before I
and be there to hold me
when my time comes to fly

to the Island of Apples
that shines far away,
and we'll take rest together,
forever to stay.

Still more to come. Wow...there's more of these than I remember. lol
