Of Lilith and Anthony

 

Candle flame doth gently sway
Conjures the demon usually kept at bay
Lover’s felo de se shines bright as the moon
She knows the timing is far too soon

 

Shriek of hungry vixens surround
She runs to him on frozen ground
Barefoot beneath does not chill
the hunt to have the desired kill

 

He pulls heavy curtains tight
Blocks out the descending night
She claws ...

Our Carefree Play

 

 
Shall I sit and think of you and me,
alone on a beach with a tropical sea
we have no needs for worldly news,
for deep in love we have other views...
 
We'll swim and splash and cavort with glee,
then lay and rest in the dappled shade of a tree,
where the cooler air offers time for hugs and more,
all alone in the reach of that pleasing shore...

Love

By the wayside

Late arrival into meeting room
You look for me amongst
faces you command, commandeer.
I lower my eyes to defend
against the bulleted frontline thoughts
daring an agenda of fantasy.

 

Sitting opposite; each others target.
Our kindred spirits embrace
only once throughout the hour.
Quick chatter accompanies slow exits;
You need “a word”, and blend me into
a corporate gr...

Dichotomy

Keep each other captive
Set each other free
Give all there is to offer
Take all there is to see
Make each other happy
Bring each other pain
Give all that is crazy
Take all that is sane

 

Torture, tease
Starve, nourish
Resist, desire
Hurt, cherish

 

No time
Forever

Conditioning

On the floor
Arms held tight
A dangerous edge
In your passionate eye

Are you beautiful?
Are you smart?
Are you sexy?
Are you mine?

My brow furrows
A hesitant smile
I’m uncomfortable
Say yes and comply

Night & Day

 

When we walk together we will find
distance never enters our joint mind
for only love will take the path
while we smile and kiss and laugh...
 
And if we share forty years or one,
know that my love you can depend upon,
while I breathe it will be for you alone,
always hoping to share in our one home...
 
Warmth floods into my chest whenever I see

LoveRomance

Z

Z, is it merely a typo for X,

a phone pushed too hard

or misplaced fingers on qwerty keyboard?

Or does Z mean sleep tight?

Alas I can never sleep as tight

as when I finally hold you in my arms

and wake to sunshine even in a perilous Pennine Autumn.

UNTITLED

 

UNTITLED

 

Love is an illusion fuelled by hope

Hope is an illusion fuelled by love

The sky is full of ghosts each cloud

A spirit forever trapped in the blue.

I want to kiss you at midnight - Sir Benjamin character piece

 
I want to kiss you at midnight - Sir Benjamin poem
by OpenMind on Sunday, 2 September 2012 at 12:21 ·

I want to kiss you at midnight,

feel the wibbly-wobbly ripples of time.

I want to kiss you at midnight

staring deep into your eyes.

 

Though it may take time,

time is of t...

Sea

The waves carry you and I to meet
 
each creeps a little closer to my feet
 
I retreat, stung by approaching tide
 
I turn my back and try to hide
 
Hopelessly pulled back, my mind
 
succumbs to salty kisses entwined
 
Turn again with depth and force
 
of emotion from tempestuous source
 
Thrown up, smashed and broken
 
an inevitable part of loves token
