There was a child, who kept to himself

Toys in the attic, no room for a shelf

Rocking horse, teddy, guitars and cars

But there was just once place

He’d reach, for the stars

***

Watching through windows, moon glowing bright

Imagination, his playmate, who stayed through the night

Knowing one day, he would venture from this place

To paint his name among the stars

In ethereal outer space

Perhaps the man in the moon
Is not a man at all
Perhaps he’s just a little boy
One who’s rather small

He likes to hang around by day
In the light, he can’t be seen
Swinging merrily, above the clouds
His expression, quite serene

But, the only way to truly know
Is to awaken from your dream
Sadly, that would chase him away
And that’s really too extreme

So, let your imagination take you
Let the sandman lead you on
Before the light of day appears
And the illusion, all at once, is gone

Leather and Lace ~ #poetry #RomanticTuesday

Windblown, in the gentle breeze

Hair that’s tangled, in quiet reprise

Thoughts are running, through her mind

She dreams of him, the desirous kind

Longing to have him hold her tight

She wrestles, with the empty night

For he no longer needs her sweet embrace

No appetite for leather, and lace

Has he played her, once again, the fool?

How could she break her only rule?

To never allow him to partake

That which she, would not, forsake

She wonders long, and ponders still

Perhaps it was never against her will

One with the Storm ~ #freeverse #poetry

I can hear you murmur in the night

Like the distant rumble of thunder

Or is it the sound of my heart, beating

As you whisper to me, in my dreams

Awakening me, with a gentle touch

The tantalizing brush of your lips

Against my neck, and I am yours

Kinetic energy, like lightning, strikes

Sending sensations of fire, through me

In a frenzy, across the night, together

We become one with the storm

Night had fallen, in a veil of darkness

Mixed with moonlight, shadows called to me

They waited, watched, they edged closer

And fell back again, still, the stars twinkled

As planets smiled, and the ebony sky

Allowed me to dream
