LaylaJune 3 Jul 2015 Zone d'ombre You felt it So did IWe both know what it wasA sound that isn’t heard Signals the end of love A mating call reversedCoupling undoneA sound that isn’t heardThat says we’re not in love A note that speaks of emptinessLike an abandoned homeNot of an open spaciousnessBut something there, then gone With each two, it is differentNever twice the sameBut clearly recognizableWhen it strikes again A knell of such finalityA whole th...
LaylaJune 30 Jun 2015 My Escape Create my escapeAs I stand hereWithout even moving an inchAs soon as you see me, I’m travelingAway from the world I live in The brief time that we spend together An eveningA coffeeA nightWhisks me awayA mere look at your faceAnd I’ve touched down in some parallel time You light up for me when you see meIt makes all the risk so worthwhilePerhaps such encounters won’t heal meBut they let me break free for a while.
LaylaJune 29 Jun 2015 Awakening Learning the ropes . . . "You can do it harder" As he bites upon her breasts"Don’t be afraid I love the way Your teeth feel on my flesh" "Get the clamps" She tells him"I need to feel that pain" Tied firmly down He marvels how Her eyes begin to blaze One side, then the otherHe squeezes and appliesAdmires her as she strugglesAnd sees her body writhe The newness of this stirs himA sense he’s been rebornA fantasy he’s learningFar sexier than porn The...
LaylaJune 25 Jun 2015 The Power of Love Yep. Still here. Change me, damn you!Change me!Why am I still me?I thought that love transformed youInto some mythic being And then my fears and troublesWould lift off and be goneMy life would be a marvelThe way they sing in songs As much as I do love youI’m hating I’m just meI yearn to be anotherBut you haven’t made that be Here I am this personThe me I always wasThe only thing that’s differentIs now I am in love.

LaylaJune 21 Jun 2015 Masterpiece Paint my lips by kissing meSculpt me in your armsThis room shall be our studioWhere we create our art Too fluid to be capturedAnd set within a frameToo sacred to be notedOr garner any fame Yet lasting and indelibleThroughout both our livesEach of us a masterpieceIn the other’s eyes.
LaylaJune 19 Jun 2015 Exposure It's not like it's a bad thing . . . I am seen As I’m at workMy office door is closedMy office window shades are drawnBut someone watching knows Every single move I makeJust like in the songHas me always on displayAnd showing myself off I sense I’m viewedAs I get dressedAlone and in my houseDeciding what to wear that dayAnd ironing my blouse The thrill of peering eyes on meSliding stockings onPutting on my lipstickFastening my bra Or just observedAs I recli...
LaylaJune 17 Jun 2015 Your Heat Warm me . . . Come and love me in the coldAnd give to me your heatThe warmth that rises from your chestAs I expose it underneath Every button of your shirtOpen more and moreCaressing me in gentle wavesYet piercing deep into my core An aching sweet reminderOf just how real you areThe scent of your alivenessThe pulsing of your heart The halo of your body's heatBecoming as a shieldTo ward against the chilly airAs more skin is revealed I c...

LaylaJune 13 Jun 2015 Rope So good with his hands . . . I love the way you handle ropeSo capable and sureLoop and pull and back and throughTightening some more The blueness of your eyes on mineNever break their gazeAs your hands stroke and knot the knotsYou’ve tied a hundred ways Woven smooth, its weighty heftPresses on my wrists Restraint building as I lieAnd give those little twists Just to see what I can’t doThe thrill of being boundAnd having you do what you willAs rope i...
LaylaJune 11 Jun 2015 The Vampire The vampire tried to bite me, in a dream I had once Instead, he bit my fingerI woke up with my heart pounding My finger hurt The vampire was someone I adored He glided through my days like a slim, dark silhouette He was always quiet – quiet, I thoughtBecause he was elegant and reserved But quiet he was, because he had no soul I tried to kiss the vampire one night We were standing outside in damp and cold airMist swi...
LaylaJune 10 Jun 2015 Now Do we? Do we now knowWhen passion has passedAfter unwindingOur limbs’ tangled mass? Long after the lure of the wordsTo and froThe mental gymnasticsPropelling us prone After seeing the imageIn each other’s eyesThrough a mirror of fantasyStep into life What we’ve createdBy acting it outDo we want to move forwardNow that it’s now? What do we know, andWhat more is there?But harder to ask, perhaps:Do we care?
LaylaJune 9 Jun 2015 Breath Stretched out on my stomachFace down on the bedYour warm lips start to hover lowInching up my legs Sensation that I can’t describeNo touch, but so intenseMy insides turn and twist like twineRelease, then twist again With feather breaths you reach my spineThe valley where it dipsThen slowly curve along its lineAs warmth floods through my hips My skin comes desperately aliveA part, apart, awareA non-touch tracing only hereF...
LaylaJune 7 Jun 2015 A Walk A Walk on the Beach "Take a walk with me," I sayHolding out my handYour fingers touch and mesh with mineWe head out on the sand Where the water meets the shoreIts grains so cooly packedLeaving pointed footprintsTrailing from our backs You look at me expectantlyAs if I need to talkI see the worry in your faceBelieving something’s wrong Now I start to wonderHow to calm your fearsErase the Ugly Spectre Uninvited hereFollowing in our footstepsT...
LaylaJune 6 Jun 2015 Sylvia Ariel’s hoofbeats poundingAlong the trail she fliesEscaping Hughes and heartbreakThe sorrow in her life And as the beast moves fasterHead down, she trusts her guideA veil of calm descendingOn the world that rushes by Mane through fingers graspingLoins grip to the rideHolding onto sanityBy verses in her mind Together they are movingTowards something, yet awayCreator of such beautyConquered by the pain.
