  Our Private Beach

  I want to walk with you,

  hand in hand on a shimmering,

  sandy, private beach.

  And talk with you, close and

  confident, so your deepest dreams

  I am able to reach.

  To expose the gold, that you say

  you know, exists within your brave

  yet barren heart.

  As the Ocean churns a soft hum

  spurned, to spark our love to start.

  I want to feel as though, when we’re

  apart, our souls intertwine - so fine,

  that we can both feel the other is near.

  I want you to know that in your every

  need, my mind is set to care.

  When you are tired and sleep desired,

  my arms will be your blankets,

  and my chest will be your nest.

  You can tell me your thoughts and

  express your dreams; be spontaneous

  with me as you gain your rest.

  You can empty your fears, relieve

  your cares and know that I dare to

  listen and beware.

  That these are sensitive things inside,

  that focuses your pride and sometimes

  you hide, from the rest of the world.

  (But, hopefully, not from me.)

  I want to gaze in your eyes and have

  you see, the moistness of my happiness

  with you, collecting to tears on the sides.

  Feel my desires for you,

  in the rush of my lustful kiss.

  Know my hunger for you,

  in my pawing touch.

  And, the thrill in the painful

  one-ness of fulfilling sex.

  There is no guess, that I deeply

  love you, want you, am consumed

  by you, want to consume you –

  But for now, I would just be

  completely happy, to walk with

  you …

  on a private, sandy beach.

  And the Lion bowed.

  When the pixie fairy rubbed his belly,

  He purred ever so deeply, from the promise

  of love completely, that it set the other animals

  running scared to flight.

  Drool, extended down his whiskers,

  happily forming dangly droplets of pleasure

  hanging onto his scar covered cheeks.

  He rolled about on his much armored back,

  watching her fly about, back and forth and

  around and out-side of his enormous head.

  He thought – so little about his weighted dread,

  as it was lifted by her enchanting presence, grace

  and benevolence.

  He felt very patient, and warm, and glowed,

  under the gloaming of her exquisitely beautiful

  charms.

  His heart beat ferociously in his chest,

  more intense, than in any battle he had

  ever fought in his violent-turbulent youth.

  He never could imaging feeling so good,

  so intercepted, so warmly-unilaterally

  completed.

  Fleetingly, he would catch a glimpse of her

  sparkling, long eye lashed, rainbow colored

  eyes, as she hovered by –

  This, making him smile – so big that his

  face pained with hurt from the effort.

  As the Lion, rarely, if ever, did such a

  foolish thing.

  His stomach quivered in delight inside of

  him, to volcanically excite every time she:

  Touched him,

  Rubbed his brow,

  Tweaked his nose,

  Played with his hair,

  Or

  Brushed against his cheek.

  Then,

  She kissed his lips !

  And the Lion grew weak.

  And then,

  the Lion ...

  bowed.

  Bubbles

  There we are, on the sides of the bottle

  as we swirl and swish about like bubbles,

  while some great deity, mixes us inside

  his tea.

  So many things could be,

  but one that I am most happiest about,

  is obviously, you and me.

  Things could have been so different,

  like we could have been bubbles in

  another, or separate bottles of time.

  Different places, or other skins,

  so much different from the ones

  that we so love to rub against.

  Where you fly like a bird

  and I swim like a fish,

  and we would have never met.

  See, it doesn’t matter, the how,

  or the why, or the what; what brings

  a smile to my face is the who and

  the when – the fact that out of all

  the bubbles that fizzle, sizzle or

  pop, your precious skin has rubbed

  up against my own, in an entire sea

  of endless possibilities.

  I’ve lived in a bottle of time, on

  the same planet that wars have

  been fought, and oceans crossed,

  and planes fly so high, that in a

  place where mountains rise and

  volcanoes swallow Islands back

  into the murk, where the depths

  are deep and the sheep sleep

  under the stars with one eye open.

  With all that variety, and history,

  and distances, and places to get

  lost in, and to and fro – I came

  to somehow, one day, experience

  and know,

  who you are, and hear your travels,

  and witness your growth and love

  your whole being.

  I kissed you,

  I held you,

  I looked into your eyes,

  and saw you.

  The real you.

  That being said, the possibilities in

  life, and really, not just the life

  we know,

  are endless,

  and boundless,

  and timeless –

  So, our time – is now,

  and our connection, was

  made certain,

  by some great deity,

  drinking his tea,

  and swirling it around,

  until you met me.

  I can’t thank him enough,

  for making that happen.

  I can’t imagine my life,

  where you had never been.

  I don’t want to think, of

  a time where I can’t see you,

  and I dread the minutes that

  seem like centuries, when

  you are away from me.

  A warrior grows fearful, when

  his sword is out of reach, and

  without you, I am without sword,

  shield and armor, thus, I am naked,

  as your skin against mine, is what

  I need to feel complete.

  I was made to be in the same

  era, see the same aura, share

  the same flora in our ticking,

  trickling moments of life together.

  So as one bubble to another,

/>   floating around the untranquil sea

  of life, I’m eternally happy we

  have met, and when I put it all in

  this perspective,

  I can define the reasons why,

  I love you so much.

  waits for no one.

  And the right time is always the exact moment when the world seems to fade away,

  allowing focus on a true lesson, a thought to be finally heard or a reason understood.

  It’s late as I write this, because I’ve been thinking about someone.

  A woman who in many ways is still just a pretty little frustrated girl.

  Someone who, if she could understand how truly unique she really is,

  and could look past everything that has happened thus far in her life,

  maybe she might realize that there was more to it all than meets surface eye.

  How in a way she might be like everyone else, going through the motions,

  the struggles and difficulties of life like the rest of us, but then are completely

  one of a kind.

  Maybe she is sitting right now, reading this – and that’s good.

  I always wanted to get her attention with what I had to say.

  …. A conversation ensues as we walk hand in hand down an autumn road.

  So I could tell her, that she is beautiful and adventurous.

  So I could tell her how smart and funny she can be, and that I can see her sweet soul.

  I would let her know, that anything she did, that may have been done to her, that

  may be presently happening and will happen in the future, is nothing because her

  will can see her through. And why let the naysayers win anyway?

  Stopping by a bridge, I inquire, “Is a bridge never crossed over, the same as a bridge

  which never exists?” And hope that she drew an understanding, if you always stay

  on one side of belief of what the world has been so far, you can never know what

  may exist on the other side of love, of life or hope without crossing over to see.

  Even if it were bad, her adventurous spirit can agree that she had made another stride

  towards pushing past a new barrier, and if there was something good, then she is that

  much richer for taking the journey.

  I thought about all of this, while visions of her swam about inside my head.

  …. And this was my Epiphany.

  Living on Gifted Time.

  It’s funny, how Man thinks and draws his thoughts sublime.

  When the world seems to shrink and life slows to a painful grind.

  Seconds seem like days, as the torture sets into mind,

  and it’s when we give in, to give up, we cross over to living

  on gifted time.

  What a present awaiting was mine.

  A smiling, cheerful happy soul, who suffered through lessons untold;

  witnessed with eyes as ice blue and a name so precious the suffix is Gold.

  She has had the hard lessons, the loveless beginnings,

  the careless endeavors, the early exposures, the awakening commitments,

  the frightful moments, the near fatal occurrences, the insightful provisions,

  the forward motivations, the tireless struggles, the empty conclusions, the

  disappointing realizations, the frustrating awakenings, the painful truths,

  the old becoming older and the now a new path to with me coming into view.

  She is still youthful and beautiful and caring.

  She has a heart and a soul and is committed to me.

  She is a true girlfriend, a true team player, a visionary and

  a partner.

  And I love her.

  Because when I was so internally ready to completely give up, and I

  saw no other way out, her smile and her laughter

  was there to lead me to a new vision.

  She came and made the old

  and worthless – worthy.

  She made the useless - useful, and the empty on its way to

  full and whole.

  And all she wants is for me to love her.

  I have been here before and this time, I have made the right decision.

  Subliminal Curtain

  I could see a woman,

  who thought she had saw it all.

  She had been through many travels,

  that her daring life to her unraveled.

  And engaged fearlessly as the figurative,

  “Mouse who roared.”

  Advanced now in years; refined, disguised,

  maybe in a guise encompassing past struggles

  through un-metered loves, which seemed to be

  what she wanted but not deserved in pleasure

  or in agony.

  There she was, just a vision of beauty –

  for she stood so tall, as tall as her tippy-toes

  would allow.

  She was proud.

  So proud of herself, I could see.

  And that she should be.

  Nothing was handed to her.

  Nothing came easy.

  Her subtle confidence exudes in her walk,

  and a smile per every syllable as she talks,

  bore a peaceful, pressurless demeanor which

  was her blossoming gift back to the world.

  Little does she know, that through this thin veil

  She attracts me so.

  Like a child captivated by the glow of a candle flame.

  She would consider me lame; an infant in her eyes.

  Yet, while daily she is beauty toward my own.

  If only I could find a way, to say,

  I enjoy every beat of who she is.

  Her triumphs wear like gold on her skin.

  I can resound softly in her disappointments,

  and I can hold her and love her, like a Man.

  Time and Chance …

  So, let it be known, that the race is not geared towards the swift, nor made to suit the strong…,

  But time and chance; overtake them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:11)

  There is a window in life, where all things come to pass.

  A time when good things happen, and sometimes very bad.

  A period of grace, where a person may think, this is just the norm;

  to a placid point where they do not even see the quiet,

  - before the storm.

  A time that is set, to build up and then tare down,

  A time when many tears may fall to the ground,

  A time when anger appears to be your best and only friend,

  An era where pain and suffering seems to simply have no end.

  But then, there are also times of such intense good.

  Where life is being all that it should;

  a gift from God that it was meant to be;

  For when I met you, that good moment finally happened for me.

  With so many factors between us;

  Age, placement, timing, and status,

  We have so much in common, yet remained in separate stasis.

  (As time went by, in its unhurried sort of time-like way.)

  From your travels, making yourself a marvel,

  mentally, literally and cultural
ly.

  To my battles, forging me externally,

  tenaciously, strenuously and somewhat bitterly.

  But, when I am around you, things all feel smoothened so evenly.

  All the rough edges, blend together within the sound of your

  voice and the flapping of soft wings, as time flies right out the window.
