Inch by Inch
I am the poetic cartographer
of your sacred body.
I will discover you
and map you,
explore you
and draw you,
observe you
and describe you,
chart you
and render you
inch by perfect inch.

Thanks For Giving, by Ivor Steven
Happy Thanksgiving to my cousins and their families in Philadelphia.. Love you all, have a glorious gathering of the clan….. missing you all….. xxx
Thanks For Giving
Thanks for being there
Receiving my poems through the air
Thanks for reading my humble words
Understanding my journey with ‘our’ bluebird
Sometimes I am an introvert
But inwardly I am a flirt
Thanks for your comments, all so kind
Soothing my self-conscious mind
Thanks for appreciating the songs
Tunes from my soul, I’ll be playing lifelong
Thanks for the hugs and kisses
Caressing my heart with rivers of bliss

Belief by Lazarus Shatipamba
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

all your dreams.

THROWBACK FRIDAY- Linda Lee Lyberg- The Stars are Prisoners in Your Eyes
For the stars they are prisoners in your eyes
While luscious lips hold me captive
Our dancing shadows in gold candlelight
In your warm arms, I am enraptured.
While luscious lips hold me captive
And that which I give to sacrifice
In your warm arms I am enraptured
Gladly paying the ultimate price.
And that which I give to sacrifice
All worldly treasures that I may own
Gladly paying the ultimate price
Take my flesh, my blood, and bone.
All worldly treasures that I may own
Our dancing shadows in candlelight
Take my flesh, my blood and bone
For the stars they are prisoners in your eyes.

After Hours–“Destroy Me”
Softly destroyed
by your impatient hands
and ravenous mouth
aroused to a point
of unethical ecstasy
—
Eager my body
succumbing to
such erotic pleasure
begging you
not to stop
until I am left
in climactic ashes

THROWBACK FRIDAY: This Secret Life of Mine
This Secret Life of Mine
Maybe you’re unaware
of this secret life of mine
Not a fancy gossip affair
But rather boring and benign
Focused only on the bottom line
Ten-key clicks the hymn rhythm
of accountants everywhere
In concert with all of ’em
Every month in my chair
Every year accounting with care
And now another budget season
Setting aside the poetry lines
and picking up my logical reason
Off I go with a little whine
To this secret life of mine.

Indentation by Megha Sood
A colorful explosion,
a kaleidoscopic implosion,
a vibrance shattered amongst
the ends of the horizon
and scattered across the galaxy
with its tinge appearing
in every shade
of the sunrise and sunset
painting the crimson laced sky
in the wee hours of the day
the burst of the colors
those glittering and spellbinding
sending the vibration
throughout the galaxy
in a frenzy only to be
experienced by you and me
the way it has been layered
and hidden in the strata
of the earth
and the rising from
the core of its womb
that exuberance and the warmth
is carried by your smile
that little indentation in your skin.

You Always Stick With Me
I was thinking this all night
Up till the morn’ light
Am I lucky to call us ‘We’?
I begin to reflect
I know I’m not perfect
But you always stick with me
…
Not knowing what flaw is
I battled lost causes
To drown in a massive sea
You bring me to the shore
Show me the world and more
You always stick with me
…
You’re always by my side
You make me smile so wide
You’re the best that there can be
So often I am wrong
I don’t always stay strong
Yet you always stick with me
…
I know I’m not like them
You love all that I am
The goodness that you see
That’s why I love you
All the things you do
And you always stick with me
You Always Stick With Me
