I lay quietly, listening to the sounds around me but mostly I listened to Pascale breathing, gentle now, steady. “Karen...” she said, slowly, as if considering her words. “Yes, Pascale?” I replied. “Karen, I am sorry I got turned on by your story. I didn't know that boy was so horrible.” “That's all right, Sweetheart. I do understand, honestly.” “You are sweet,” she said, “How did you turn out so well after all that you h...
Remember that nightWhen you pulled me inWrapped me in your armsOur bodies so closeThat I could feel your breatheOn my backAs we lay side by sideEnveloped in loveYour hand in mineAs our toes dancedTo the music of loveYour magical embrace Sweet gentle kisses Across my backThe warmth between usElectrifying my soulTickling and exploringLaughing, smiling, lovingEnjoying a perfect cuddleFeeling safe and secureThis, my happy pla...
We linger awhile upon the grass Where chequered shadows of clouds doth pass, Shrouding the sun and its warming rays reach Before passing on to let the summer heat preach. How quiet it is, this peaceful scene, As though all were lost and no longer seen. Washed away with the last heavy rain So that you and I are all that remain. A sight more beautiful could not be seen Surrounded by flowers in rich pastures green, And fruit...
There is a place where the clouds are fluffyAnd the grass is green.Where butterflies dance around the skyAnd the sun always sparkles off the water.There is a place where the air smells like cupcakesAnd fireflies light up the night sky.Where the birds always sing my favorite songAnd the pretty flowers sway in the breeze.There is a place where people always laughAnd lovers lay arm in arm forever.Where the colors of the rain...
The world is a beautiful placeIt can take your breath awayBut sickness and sadness surround usWaiting to ruin the most beautiful day Battered from life's curve ballsI felt my sadness was permanentJust a new part of my personalityMy three wishes, long ago spent The moment I felt his loving embraceI felt something I knew I had been missingThe fears residing in my head quietedAnd I could feel the pain finally easing In his a...
It has been some time and I am still here.Did you think like the others I would go?It will be some time more before you knowHow much you have meant and how you are dear.Asking for little I stand by your side,Giving with nothing expected from you.Offering friendship is all I can doBecause it is all that you will abide.Off in the distance the end will draw nearFor such as I who have so many years,But you will be there throu...
This poem only available on Lush Stories. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Can your kiss carry heather honeyDeep inside my soul?Can your spring-fresh glance growPetal-laced stars?Can your arms melt the galaxiesAnd pour a rushing torrentThat can scour away the ragged painAnd smooth a troubled brow?Can your smile warm the winterAnd add apple wood to scentFrosty air where the snow bites,And glow in pulsing...
This poem only available on Lush StoriesThere is so little time.I lie here, staring out of the windowAt the stars,As they twinkle their ambivalent gaze back at me.And I think of you.These tears slide, first hotly as they leave me,And then coldly like a river of mercury down my cheekIn this starlight and candlelight.They speak of what would have,Could have,Might have been.But never will.You never saw me.Not really.You saw...
When the battle is lost or wonAnd the fighting is in recessAnd we've done all that can be doneWhen we've gathered all the strength we can possessTell me that hope is not goneThat there is more that I can doThat my binds with dawnAre as strong as my ties are with you.When I can finally be with youIn the woods, near the waterfallUnder the luminous moonListening to the Crow's callTell me that this is what you desireCurled up...
