Night


The cool shade
Of the night
Masks our movements
Dance in twilight

Our bodies intertwine
Passion is great
Our love flows
Coolness of night

Dread the dawn
The shade flees
We break away
Done our nightly deed

Two ships

Like two ships
Passing in the night
We hear no whispers
We saw no light

Do you not see
My ship of light
Or are the stars
Burning so bright

I toss you rope
You refuse offhand
You hate so much
You’d rather hit land

My ship sails on
Not dreary like yours
All because you are afraid
Of two ships in the night

Rainbow

Eat the colors
Till they’re dead
No need to remember
No time for dread

Death of a rainbow
Not to live again
So much loss
When it’s a friend

Rainbows are born anew
Friends from out of the blue
The colors are packed
With happiness for you

Our breath mingles

Silently our breath mingles
Silence into the night
Our exhale is steamy
Soaked with our plight

Two hearts are we
Beating as one
The sound of a parent
And the one is done

Gaze out the window
Follow his retreat
Know you’ll love him
Next time you meet

"Wow" you are truly talented. I read thru them all and loved each of them. You are a true poet!

Nice creative poetry you offer Hipster. I like your talent.

Thanks terri and alookat, I appreciate it.

Passion

The gentle caress
Of his fingertips
Over your body
Outlining your curves

Make you catch
Your breath’s intake
Fiery passions ignite
Beneath your skin

You make way
For his touch
The magic builds
The dam bursts

You lay there
Spent and exhausted
Yet the passion remains
To kiss lips and stroke their hair

It seems it will never end
This passion of ours
But with our love
Who wants it to

Nightmares

You feel them grab your feet
To pull you into the brush
They’re going to make you ashes
You will turn to dust

You bolt upright and scream
Then realize tis but a dream
Your partner sits and hugs you
Asks you if it was the dream

You apologize profusely
For disturbing her sleep
It is something you’ll never vanquish
Something you don’t want to keep

You’re lucky to have a woman
That loves you so
Most of them look upon you
As damaged goods

With you

Whenever I feel down
I think of amazing you
And imagine your kisses
Sweet and savory as new dew

We don’t speak words
No sounds cross our lips
The way you look at me
Makes my heart flip

With you is like
A breath of warm fresh air
I hope the look in our eyes
Make others tread in beware

When I’m with you
I pray this love will last
I want to go into the future
Not stay in the past

Be patient my sweet
Our time will come in the sun
So let us try new exploits
Let us have some fun

Hippie, Beautiful poetry. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you wildflower.

Dreams

I lay here all night
Beside you feeling like I’m dreaming
Watching your silhouette
Breathing so gently

I think it’s a dream
Having you beside me
You’re all I could ever want
And yet you picked me

I don’t want to move about
Send ripples through the dream
I want to lay here peacefully
Cloaked in the mist of dreams

The mist of dreams swirl
Making shadows of the moon
This will only be a dream
For a short time soon

Ocean

You are my ocean
Cool waves lap my shore
Making things good
How I thirst for more

Of you, my ocean breeze
I could drink you up
Fulfill my thirst
Pour in my cup

Oh my ocean wave
Cool kisses and hugs
Transcend my thirst
With kisses and hugs

Such a beautiful collection of work - I am humbled by your words.

Thanks Paul, I appreciate it, "Linger" is my personal favorite.

The Price Paid

I don’t think you realize
What you mean to me
Our every second is precious
Can you see

I’m not interested in
A one-night stand
I need you for a wife
To take my hand

For ever how long it lasts
Beside you I will walk tall
Some love, no matter how temporary
Is better than no love at all

It is my fervent hope
We will last many years
And when we end I will
Gladly pay in tears

Having known you and loved you
Is the delight of my life
I dream of the day
You will be my wife

Love 2

If love is a razor
That rips you to shreds
Why do we fall in love
Way over our heads

Is it because of
Beauty so thin
We did not see
The person within

I’ve run across those types
Many times in life
Till I learned to look within
And found one as a wife

Is it possible to feel
No meeting yet this way
I say so
I feel it today

She is a delight
From head to toe
So I can say with certainty
I love you Jo

Probably my worst, but some poem has to have that distinction:
=============================================================

Hand

You have gone and
Given me your hand
Let me reflect
So I understand

You mean this heart flutter
In my chest
Proves you’re the one
You’re the best

I brush your lips
Sweet honey to a bee
Reserve them always
Just for me

I take your hand
Firmly in mine
We’ll be together
For a long time

Hunger

Do you feel the hunger
I have for you
Pressing our lips together
Passionate kisses deep and true

You cannot quench the hunger
Of man starving for your lips
Stand then, and kiss back
Put him in some bliss

As stars revolve around so high
You stand there kissing and bye and bye
You finally stop and
Give a deep sigh

But the hunger is still there
It won’t go away
So please let me
Kiss you more today
