"Citrus Passion"


Remember last summer, lying nude after playing love games...
Hot salty night, our skin the same…

Glistening bodies, slippery loves sweat…
Drifting together, legs tangled, wet…

You leaned over me, your kiss was sweet…
Then you whispered I'm thirsty, I'll get us a treat…

I didn't want to let you go, let the moment die…
I didn't want space between you and I….

Gently you disengaged from me…
Explaining you'd be back so patiently…

My eyes were heavy when you returned to love land…
Bearing your treat , an orange in your hand…

With the very first tear of the orange peel…
The spray of the juice on my body I feel…

We laughed in unison, the citrus had flare…
The mist felt delicious, heaven scent in the air…

You pulled off a section, rubbed it gently on me…
Then licked the juice off my thighs and tummy…

Urgent kisses now tasting of orange…
Lovers in heat, citrus passion reborn….

Is everything a bleeding joke
to you
no wonder love and life
have no rule
it feels so shallow
like I’m in a kid’s wading pool
and your careless attitude
it really isn’t cool

you take peoples hearts

and then you twist
like you get a sick kick
out of doing this
always conniving
you don’t care about bliss
and your attention at best
is only hit or miss
life is far more valuable
than a numbers game
but all you care about
is gaining fame
so when others treat you
exactly the same
just remember
you only have yourself
to blame
hanging around you
just isn’t any fun

you break peoples hearts

and I’m so done
cutting my losses
I’m aiming to run
hopefully now
I’ll be able to meet someone
a person
who really does understand
has integrity
isn’t a ladies man
he’ll really get me
even my philosophy
and won’t be a jerk
who doesn’t care about me
everyday in every way
I will see myself
through his eyes
and he’ll say,
“Your heart in mine
is how we’ll live,
mind to mind
our thoughts are positive,
we’re building a future
and together
we’ll learn to fight
to forgive,
now hush your mouth
cuz I want your lips,
show me how much you love me
and start by giving me a kiss,
aaahh, my sweet…
there’s nothing on earth
that’s any better than this.”

I’m going to keep on babbling
‘Til all my thoughts
like peas
are shelled
you grow weary
of muted listening
or I escape
from this prison cell
pulling the rug out
from under me
only fuels my will
to go on
to overcome tripping embarrassment
as I search
for where I belong
getting on your nerves
is my specialty
I’m like a wound
that just won’t heal
I’ll fester
until you notice me
and cause you pain
so I can make you squeal
this is what happens when loneliness
overtakes you
and your common senses
you keep opening yourself up
to anything that breathes
by letting down all your defenses
we know there’s someone
for everyone
but how many faces
must we look thru
hopefully the right one
will come along
and we’ll recognize them
when they do
if they’ve journeyed along
beside us
been fortunate to take in the view
they know what to expect
and will accept
all the complexities in us too

Talking about pure fantasy…

The naturally masculine scent
emitting from his tan flesh
afire for me
is intoxicating
and I’m energized
by the voracious sway
he has over my mind
my very existence…
little did I know
the repercussions
of that first touch
that innocent act
of submission
when I opened my self up
for his exclusive role
in every aspect of my life…
for months
I’ve followed my own path
stirring up
or being the brunt of
mischief
leaving broken hearts in my wake...
but this man
with a will of steel
and passion like ice
so cold and biting
that an imp like me
is no match for his reality
and his desire for revenge...
secretive
and calculating
he plots his course for my feet
to follow
wherever he leads
and without question
I obey…
in the first moment
I realized his tender love for me
he inspired my devotion
above all else I hold dear
yet I quickly turned
and fled from him
once feeling his cruelly dual nature
understanding all too well
my captivity…
my natural inclination for survival
gives me strength
to overcome his obsession
as I shut my door in his face…
but with deviousness
and cunning
he stands at the thresh hold
laughing
my futile efforts to reject him
are invigorating
as the faster I flee
the more zealous he is
to punish my disregard
for his authority…
determined to make me see
the error of my ways
he allows me a little time
to compose my thoughts
and bring my actions under control
before he destroys me…
for he knows
the next time
he wants me
he’ll break my will completely
and surrendering
will be the only option left to me
then…

Wow! okay, bo... so you're ready to explode...
I hope if you do it blows ink all over the page
and spells out the calming after effect..

great expression in this write...

I try to leave
to just be me
but everywhere I turn
you’re still there
and my intuition
forces my acceptance
of your unrelenting stare
with such an envious care
your strangle hold humbles

I try to resist
but the barrier around me crumbles
as your passion intercedes
with my need
my undefended personality

I try to believe
as our worlds
our bodies
our spirits
collide
our love
overpowering
decants freely

I try to see
my secret lover
in the darkness
as I plead
please let me breathe
silently

I try to grow
as you twist and torture my feelings
my thoughts
into your own
you feed my emptiness
with pleasurable bounty
from everyone’s know

I try to admit
there’s so much more that I want
and can do
to benefit
from your blatant intrusion
into mine
you, my ensuing mind

I try to love
together
push come to shove
you and I
two species
of a different kind
creating realities
off the tongue
just as whole worlds
have always been spun

Nice write....

where else will you go? glad you r staying.

your devotion and playfulness in this is very sweet, bo.. your love must be very special indeed...

so now in my deepest darkest hour...
when the world feels like it's caving in all around me...
you are... Here To Stay...

All my years I’ve worked and I’ve prayed
I’ve had a long productive life to this day
Suffering hardships taught me appreciation
Every humbling experience I use for my creations
My journey hasn’t been one of primping and ease
I’ve dirtied and calloused my hands, feet, and knees
So, what I have now comes from sweat off my brow
Nobody gave me nothin as I earned all my chow
Well, it comes to my ears from gossip around here
That I’m just a B*tch seeking attention, it’s clear
The message being delivered to alienate me
Shows the nature of those with jealous insecurity
And they want me to observe all their commands
Like I’m just a follower without my own plans
Well, excuse me please for making my own living
Believing in charity, loving hard, and forgiving
Those who think they can run rough shod over folks
Would do better eating their words before they choke
On the other hand, the day they start paying my way
Is when their word will hold over me a little sway
Because gone are the days we women must grin and obey
So nobody better expect me to submit to their play
Listening and talking to one another is nice
As we’ve learned about what the other is like
And friends, to me, is what I want us to be
Until we find one to commit too seriously
I don’t know how else to make you understand
But I will not be moved if being pressured by a man
Unless you’re the master of me as your wife
I’ll do exactly as I please with my life
And, if I have 1 lover, 2 lovers, 3 lovers, 4
It’s my private life; you don’t need to keep score
So, back up off me, and get out of my face
Never think you can intimidate me in this way
And don’t come at me with your expectations
Or you’ll be disappointed by my insubordination
Now that I’ve had my say about the chatter
We can be friends, or not, it doesn’t really matter
My world won’t stop without you in it to mingle
I’ll keep having fun, cuz I’m over 21, and single

That sounds finger lickin good..

sleep is insignificant to belief

everyday
I search for you
and I think maybe today
is the day
you’re searching for me too
how many faces
have we already looked through
how many voices
have we heard
how many pages
have we turned
is there anything from this experience we’ve learned
whenever the phone rings
I think it’s time
that finally you’ll be on the other end of the line
calling my name
telling me
from now on nothing will be the same
that your heart has found it’s second beat
and your songs are all about me
you know this instinctively
so we should meet and agree to be
monogamous
to give ourselves a chance to know
while letting all our emotions show
and grow
that you are right for me
that we are meant to be
everyday
I search for you
and I think you’re searching for me too
but
we have always been just a fantasy
each other’s face we never see
will this forever be our destiny
searching
waiting
anticipating
in love
coming up empty

I fear for both of us to be saved, we will have to work on the plan together...
