Glass Roses: Poetry of Love

 

Winter Love The world outside is so cold, My dear winter love, You warm my heart, Like a fire warms the hearth, It is said that a man cannot live, On bread alone; though it is also true that... A man cannot live alone. As my hopes draw near, I wish I could draw you near, As the cold presses in, I wish I could press my lips to yours... Your touch melted away my armor, Like it did my heart, Your kiss remains on my lips, Like your breath on the window, The heat of your skin on mine remains, Like your footprint in the snow, My heart beating as fast, As the wink of your eye, As I await your return and hope For footprints in the snow outside That lead back to my lonely door. Every Tear I am out of tears.... My eyes are dry to all but you... For the tears of separation I shed, Have left me with none for all else. My arms are cold, With no one to hold, No one but you, So far away. Tears crusted on my cheeks, Unbroken frozen streams, Cracked only by a smile, A remembrance of you. Wishing my arm could hold you Even if it fell asleep... It wouldn't bother me... I would fall asleep next to you, too. Only hearing your voice, Is like watching a sunset with eyes shut, I can still feel the warmth, But I wish I could see the light! Wiping away a frozen tear, Melted wet again by your voice I wipe it away with a cold hand That wishes it could hold yours.

Inside To feel the heat of your skin on mine Would thrill me In ways that would make me blush Not out of shame for being with you Because how could I feel shame For feeling your warm body next to mine The moistness of your inner parts Coating my most hidden parts As do your arms rubbing Across my now sweating back Discovering what secrets I try to hide from not only you But from myself and others. I blush at being discovered I am no good at a masquerade I cannot hide from your Inquisitive touches You bring out the truth in me Even if I don't want to know the truth. Your desire, your lust, your love Whatever you choose to call it Shines down on me like a bright light I am but a scared prisoner Being interogated By your gentle touch Your open eyes Your warm lips... My heart is scared That your sensitive fingers Might wring a confession From my lonely heart... That you might discover That I care for you I pretend to only want your body But I really want your heart Your heart to beat next to mine. I close my eyes as I enter you I lose myself in your sensation I lose myself in your body I lose myself in your soul And strangest of all I find myself inside of you Body and heart and soul... I found myself in you.
