Hey SoftTwin, there is no denying whilst I am alive, I will ALWAYS be a novice...and proud of it




Thoughts of you hit my soul today
I know reverence is almost due
Never as much as today I say every year
The first knock was like a thunderbolt
Second knock was the coffin prepared
Third knock was climbing out the grave
Fourth knock was a year of sorrow
Fifth is finely remembering the eccentricity

You’d understand my speculations
If heaven is so wonderful
Where did all the tears go?
If you don’t cry anymore
Are you really waiting for my humour?
Matchmaking by super gluing angel wings together
What happens to the full on laughter?
Are there no tears in happiness?

No matter how much I elude, the tears flow tonight
The savage winds howl bringing
Clouds to disguise the full moon
Every so often the moonbeams
Send the glow to let me know
And I smile, not feeling so alone
Sixth sense tells me tears cannot be buried; even in heaven

dragonlover29 methinks in
your wanting to help her to fly
you will find yourself soaring

she will surely cleave unto you
her, that perfectly right one
will with you float to the sun

no need to give up your life
to partake in those sweetest
and gentle most kisses

madness a subjective thing
different meaning for different people
as joy and trust are too
i'll be happy for you meantime
as you dare and share openly here
each and every single time
thank you for opening your heart here
your light brilliantly shines

oh how your lines touch my heart this morning AA
as i sit in quiet contemplation
drinking my coffee and smoking
in the window with pouring in sun

you were never dead just realigning
you may have been in sorrow i know
and you know i know what you mean
but those days are far behind
now ahead lays a new shiny future
made up of all you desire
though it may take some time
i know you are now of stronger mind
and perhaps softer more lovely heart too

no worrying about heaven nor tears
love can erase every doubt and fear
tears come sometimes at oddest of times
trials and happiness joy and glee
understanding completely
of friend's hearts and minds
love appears in many forms and times

let the tears flow anytime they themselves show
they are as cleansing as zen waters
in many different ways on different days
or nights too we both know
we aren't mad nor slow
we are just of the passionate kind
even simplest of words can turn tears
from sorrow or fears to glorious edifying cheers

they need not be buried in heaven
but brought to the forefront from soul
you've only just begun
and your journey far from done
your life has taken a wondrous turn
your truth and light show from within
perhaps what began as an ember
shall one day set your soul
completely on fire
tended and tempered with kindness
i'm so glad to have found my twin
in that brave beautiful heart in you
and i thank you for being so you

been at it day by day
and bit by bit
getting there but
it's not such a job quick
as i'd really prefer
to stay and to play

happy to know
just this past week
i've donated and given away
so much more than
i needed as i have plenty
the new spaces giving me
room to grow as i ought
grateful for new space
when it's all said and done
then i hope to have
more time to turn
to other tasks waiting

but it's been all right & a~ok
it's working for me
de cluttering things
from home space and mind
it was way past time

efforts none wasted
time is on my side
accomplishing new tasks
each taken in stride
tossing lots and keeping some
memories come up
from past i've been through
some safely tucked away
others thrown out & eschewed
recycle reuse and regive
a good new motto
smiles to some
who received such stuff
clothes and shoes
lamps and furniture too
i had so much i couldn't use

pictures and papers
trinkets and such
it's still a bit much
too many books
that i have yet to read
plenty on which
for my mind to feed

this and that to send back
to him and him and him too
another painting to do
for someone true

deepest blues with red and pink
i'm liking the idea
making me harder think
lines scribbled here and there
open sharing to dare

then there's still
that wheel bearing
i need to get fixed
pictures to take
some shopping to do
nails to get done
the list just goes on

so many things yet undone
nice to have 3 more days
left to do what i gotta
somewhere in here
i just gotta pencil in
more time for myself
to simply goof off

I Want You To Know

A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.

Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.

All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.

I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.

I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.

A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.

Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.

Ready For Love
by Draven

Take my hand and lead the way;
tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
all those things I want to hear.
Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you're nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it's time for me to watch it fall.
I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you'll find I won't put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within . . .
I'm ready now, let love begin.

May I Kiss You?
by Draven

I ask if I may kiss you.
You just smile; no answer is necessary.
My initial kiss is just a flirting of our lips.
My tongue lightly flicking -
Like I am asking, "Do you want me?"
The tip of my tongue runs all around your lips.
Touching every part,
Inside and out -
Over and over again.
Tickling you, tickle, tickle, goes my tongue.
Now I press my lips gently to yours.
Rubbing your lips back and forth against mine.
My kisses are hot and fast.
I cannot rest long in any one place.
I have such a need to go on.
I trail kisses of passion all over your face.
Then back to your mouth.
Our tongues dance together.
We are exploring.
I circle your tongue with the tip of mine.
You echo the pattern back to me.
I lick the sides, underside and the top.
You echo back.
I suck your lower lip.
You echo back.
We repeat, repeat, repeat.
The sensations are driving our emotions.
We are wild for each other.
You thrust your tongue in and out.
The movements are rhythmic and stabbing.
Simulating our love making during mating.
I ask again, do you want me?
I can tell that you do.
No words are necessary.

I lie on the ground,
and stare into space,
the stars start to move,
into the shape of your face.

I see you there now,
looking down at me,
with that cute little smile,
that I like to see.

You say "close your eyes",
"tell me what you see",
I see only two people,
just you and me.

We're walking the shoreline,
with our feet getting wet,
the horizon turns pink,
as the sun starts to set.

We make love through the night,
on that white sandy shore,
then I hold you while thinking,
I could want nothing more.

Oh I wish I could be,
in that one special place,
as I lie on the ground,
and I stare into space...

dl, thank you again for your visit and laying down some beautiful writes. no apologies necessary for writing anything here, it's a long free fall of feelings and thoughts!
i can remember having been asked one time in all my years if a certain he could kiss me, it was a caring and kind gesture, showing me he was sensitive and concerned about my boundaries; it was a lovely first kiss.

i loved these lines especially, from your last post herein:
I lie on the ground,
and stare into space,
the stars start to move,
into the shape of your face.
very very nice.

in the low light of sunset
the river turns to rain
where eternity meets reserection
the mind fades in clouded dreams
passion draped in soft linnen
walk barefoot over the orange hues
taste the nectar of the golden light
as you fall
into the open arms of twilight

dl29 wow what a powerful & edifying write, surely even the lurkers watching here felt that one; thank you!
and shadow, how i wish with so few words to impart such beauty; thank you for gracing this thread.

the moon tonight indeed hid itself
whence finally i took time to look
till then i was busy but my breath it then took
so late back home yet so early for me
had to write out what i cannot in reverie
except to be gracious and warmed again
exchange of life stories relived
i take too much time usually
to just get it all out
yet remember a promise
made long ago not yet honored
means it hasn't much clout
grateful for patience shown
how does one show appreciation?
allow me to show you
more than hundreds of ways

respect freely given; appreciated and felt
care of boundaries make my inside smile
warming a soul better than any pelt
when things were relayed 'n not met with dismay
still holding through above fog and the haze
oh look to the heavens and feeling of faith
the sky just now dawning a new hope and fate

life can be fragile or it can be strong
each has it's own place and it's own song
i shield myself from neither instead
hoping right outweighs my wrongs

do i look like myself
do i sound like me
truthful and excited
the only way i know to be

with so much honesty bared
and laughter too shared
i can't help but wonder
looking back on last night

words exchanged upon a page
then voices vis a vis
still electronically
oh but now comes
the real test true

The Coupling Of Passion And Erotic Lusts
by draven
A touch of skin soft and slippery,
With the hint of hint of sweat.
We fought our resistance beneath the cool sheets,
As the wind flowed from the window above us.
Eyes met briefly and begged for the chance,
To abandon all of our uncertainties.
You began your work on my lips,
Probing gently as if drawing sex,
From a deep well of longing and need.
Then heated tongues met in the midst,
Of hot and quickening breath.
And greedily we drank the wine of our lusts.
Then intoxicated with those spirits,
Our clothes found resting place on the floor.
Piece by piece,
Until there were no hiding places,
For the two glistening and wanting bodies.
Hunger revealed in this hot moment.
Then skin meshed with skin,
As the floor became the stage.
You moved atop of me easily,
And lowered yourself gently.
Kissing me as I filled with you.
As a gasp broke the kiss,
As my hands stroke the stray strands,
Away from your forehead, then became entangled.
Our slow rhythm gave way,
To urgent and demanding thrusts of passion,
As I arched my body for your comfort,
And you threw me into ecstasy,
With the strength of my blows.
I left you screaming and soaked,
In oblivion again and again,
As you growled my name from the back of your throat,
And our bodies both demanded more,
Each giving to the other,
High on the fluids of foreign substance.
I grasped, then released you,
Grasped then released you,
In effort to relieve you of your control.
The taste of your skin between my lips,
Was like no other.
To hear your cry of mercy,
When my teeth met your warm skin,
Was more breathtaking than you knew.
Yet I still released the control to you.
As I wound my hands in your hair,
And pulled until the flesh on your neck was taut,
I moved with one final and breaking blow,
Forcing our way to the peaks of bliss,
Leaving our screams to echo on like battle cries.
As you collapsed on top of me,
Still hot and burning,
And I glowing like an ember,
Casting a welcome light,
Should you seek my gifts again.

i doubt anyone is offended by your writing. I have to admit I have read all sorts of things in these forums, and sometimes have shocked myself at having hit that "post" button, especially in the boldest bravest deepest thread i began in these threads; but... offended, no. thank you for daring place it herein.

twisted light of midday set
strained eyes across the feilds
where wandered I a life ago
before my childhood fade
naive of futures solice soul
I spent so many day
searching for the wisdom lost
by many older hearts
never knowing of pain and grief
nor wondering when that starts
I see myself there still today
windblown flaxen hair
in storts and barefoot playful glee
ne'r knowing of despair
my childhood dog there by my side
always loyal always there
so many things discovered
of life and world before us
mysteries uncovered
the dog gone now
along with youth
I wonder still this day
what answers left we in that field
where so long ago we played

As the night is leaving
Silently retreating down an empty hole
Suddenly a stirring
Finally recurring where I let it fall
Following the wonderings of a dream
A dream that keeps my star alive
We're living in a open sky
Believing in our love
Dancing with a stranger
Careless of the danger built within her smile
While the two were wavering
Breathing in the longing like a sleeping child
If the dawns rays reach the two
Like a new day promises tommorow
Until you reach the open sky
Then I will keep the sun for you
Until you touch the open sky
Then I will keep the sun for you

shadow, what a provoking write and i thank you for taking me back to the innocence of those far away sunny days. our youth is never gone from our present, we only have to reach back into our reserves to recapture and relive it. my own brain is both a cursed and wonderful machine... thank you for such touching lines!

and lberserkerl, thank you~ that was absolutely beautiful; what a lovely one she must be to have inspired such gentleness in your writing.

this thread amazes me daily; YOU each of you; amaze me daily.
thank you for being yourselves, and in doing so helping myself and others to heal their sharpest demons.

dl, thank you; i thought you'd like that one and i'm glad you did. and ib is right; your stuff is herein very very good, i am honored you decide to place them here, and look forward to reading more!

i think others inspire us in natural ways that evoke emotion and thought perhaps we might not have had the opportunity of knowing otherwise. and yes, i believe there is always more to strive toward and for in life, even when or if it may not seem like it sometimes.

today i woke without the dreaded fever
i stretched without my persistent pain
i breathe again without aid of machines
and as i was selfish laying there in bed
thinking about my day unfolding ahead
returned to these lips a simple smile

a new leather couch to be delivered
here i sit in quiet contemplation
cleaning to do and tasks to be done
then time for relaxation and some fun
saturday today here beginning fine
new friends and old made make me smile
life isn't perfect but it's more than nice
a returning is taking place inside and out too

Hello my friend...amazing writes here within!

Silence beckons me back in.....
within the place...I already been
knowing this I try to run
I need some solace...need some sun!

Lift my head and swallow ....again
find the part of me...not dead
searches for the colored part
of my deep lonely heart

So weak ....so strong
turning mountains into dust
finding courage when hope is lost
so weak....so strong!

Enduring the pain....spirit rises
again
She sees the hope within to be
So weak .....so strong!

Thats .....me!

ty jules, for your kind words!
hoping your doing well and that this finds you smiling friend, these beautiful days are so gorgeous to be cooped up inside with our minds!

don't wanna paint the devil on the wall
trying my best not to fall
i hear bubbling now outside my window
water feeding the bushes and trees
as sun sets here in this desert

so many changes taking place in my life
trying to rid myself of stressor's strife
moving again at work next week
thinking how soon the days will fall shorter
driving to and from work in the dark

i really am dreaming of the sun all day
but soon to be locked in a basement away
underneath bowels of the latest design
traffic and paperwork already it seems
so much to think about all ahead
holidays again just round the corner
this past year just blew right by

tests and chemical answers to await
future will be revealed as my fate
organics and green becoming my life
no plastics please i don't wanna fight

damn toxins abound create havoc for me
i refuse to take shelter in any bubble you see
this and that to be done running around in my brain
methinks it's time to start painting again

plenty of supplies to keep me busy
papers and paints of all kinds beckon me
the deepest blue is still calling me
as a small smile begins on my lips
swirling into place new rhythm and space
