Leo You Know Who You Are

surrender

I invited you in 

but Bro you need to know 

I ain't no conquest

you can't conquer 

a surrender 

the right time

you caught me a the right time

caught me when love seemed like a good idea again

and the residue from the last hurt was beginning to fade

i started to miss hands on my body

lips in the fold of my thighs 

legs entwined with mine

long leisurely dinners slow leisurely loving

laughter and that comfortable silence only lovers know

Yeah you caught me at the right time

I was longing for flesh again flesh

the blending of skin

tired of living alone

eating alone

sleeping alone

and loving myself quietly in the dark

Yeah you caught me at the right time

like this

that i would love you like this

blindly

led by all my senses

free falling into your arms

openly

willingly

I wanted to feel you in the parts of me

that ached for want of you 

I wanted to blend

us two

a collage of body parts

no reason 

no afterthoughts

no thoughts at all

just hittin it

lust demanding to be fed

me open

a bowl in front of you

totally absorded in the now

tomorrow doesn't matter

just your hand right there

your rhythm

your mouth 

This is a love poem?

I stand  before you bare

body and soul exposed

my less than perky breasts

and pouting stomach

splendid in your eyes 

your fingers touch my flaws with such love

I stand before you bare

ill tempered and hostile 

demanding things from you 

I wouldn't demand from myself

and still you love me

when I kiss you there

when I kiss you there

the walls you hide behind come down

the masks come off

and you become the gentle man that I know

when I kiss you there

you relent

a sweet surrender

to my oh so knowledgeable mouth

 and fingers life feathers on your flesh

you sigh so deep within your soul

that time stands still and we are lost 

adrift

caught in the chaotic rhythm of our passion

we become one

sweat and sweet secretions 

when I kiss you there 

there are no boundaries

no taboos

it is about me

giving you 

pleasure 

U B

when life hit me hard

I lean and U are there

I weep into the smell of U

U be my rock 

the soft place I rest my head 

when I am  weary and 

life is playing hard to live

U b the river I flow to

Your's b the arms I go to 

when I can't go no mo

A leaf caught in the gentle rock and pull of U

U be my Sunday morning 

the smell of coffee and grandma's grits 

Our love warm like biscuits

damp like the smell of want

our love rich like fertile soil

light and fluffy like autumn sky

or unexpected like summer rain

make me wanna cuddle and find a ear to lick 

a place to hide my tongue 

you be my still stream

my deep thought my pensive stare

U b another part of me 

U be my sanctuary

My 

Praise the Lord LOVE

beyond resurrection

the arms of your old life

open to let you go 

and you leave 

the bitter nectar of regret clinging to your tongue

like someone's saliva impossible to swallow

more impossible to ignore

25 years of memories not so easy to forget

you hear her laughter in your sleep

still reach for her in a bed now much too large

and much too empty

her memory follows you

a dull heavy shadow

ever present

she has blossomed in your absence

relaxed into her beauty

a rose a week into its bloom

her petals soft but oh the lushness of her red

and you  miss her

as

she moves about her life without you 

you ha...

Leo You Know Who You Are

there is nothing as pleasant

as the purr of your content

or the cuddle of your arms on restless nights

there is nothing as intoxicating 

as the beverage of your mouth

or the softness of your fingers in my hair

we come together a carnal celebration

when we touch and the moon signs

and the clouds descend for a closer look

I think when we make love

The Gods are pleased 

EDEN

What fruit love

lured you 

from this Eden

that was us 

lady day

young then 

didn't understand

you were singin bout your man

older now

understand your pain

I too have a man

singin bout that man

singin in a different voice

but singin
