Midnight in the Oasis

Two souls united in beat of hearts…
When Moon rises high among the stars…
A torrid swelling under velvet midnight skies.
Heat surging, mounting with our sighs…
Our bodies writhing twixt and twain…
Where oft and oft our love hath lain.
When life too frigid grasps and holds…
These secret moments our hunger enfolds
A midnight oasis… for us alone…
A space in which the world may atone…
For all the darkness and abandonment.
From the rush of heated cohabitants…
Again, again, our hearts full… pledging…
To the warm glow of intimacy after coupling…
The wellspring of urgency spent in symbiosis…

            …Of our languid midnight in the oasis.

Acrostic poem: My Forever Valentine

My Forever Valentine

My forever Valentine

You will always be in my heart

Fidelity and loyalty are my pledge

One heart of love laid bare for you

Reverently made an altar to Love

Endowed with sanctity by your devotion

Veracity writ in your every glance

Enduring loyalty and sustaining love

Reverently offered in your gentle touch

Valentine’s Day and every day

Are ours ever and forevermore

Love plucked down from the stars

Entwining our two hearts in one

Nestling here in our embrace

Testifying God’s great gift to us

In gentle, softly whispered kisses

Nature blessed our noble hearts to

Encircle our souls united across all time

Whisper Me A Kiss

Original artwork by D. Denise Dianaty

Colored pencil drawing entitled "Whisper Me A Kiss"

Whisper me a kiss…

Softly… softly brushing my cheek

As an - Oh! - so delicate caress…

A gentle kiss upon my fingertips,

So healing in its tenderness…

Breathing your kiss upon my mouth,

You softly whisper me a kiss…

Oh! Whisper me a kiss…

In your sweet breath is the promise

Wafting me gently to a healing space

This oft tossed ship carried ‘pon your breath

Oh! Let me harbor in your embrace!

Oh love… again… whisper me a kiss…

Set us free to sail ‘cross time and space.

Oh! Again… Whisper me a kiss…

In your arms, the promise of forever…

Shining as stars in your ebony eyes

Come my love, tomorrow’s our dawn…

Floating free as the star flies 

Our love, the vessel… you, my tether…

On whispered kisses, together we’ll rise.

Softly… Softly… Whisper me a kiss…

Lost In Your Calidity

A color may evoke a feeling, an emotion, a remembered experience. Can you name the color to which this poem alludes? Hint: It is NOT the color in which the text is displayed.

Ahhh… love… to rest a kiss…
‘Pon the fullness of your lips…
T’would be my life’s vitality.
Come, my love, with me,
To the florid depths of rapture.
Walk with me in the glow of love,
The blush of life all about us.
Lie with me among the fragrant
Dew-kissed silken petals.
Together, we’ll revel
In the fervency of passion.
Let me be lost in your calidity.

Seasons of Love

An allegory of Life’s journey to forever love…

We may love deeply and sincerely even when that love doesn’t last or is misplaced. The seasons of love have something to teach us. The lessons we learn along the way, if we take them in, will teach us to not only discern True Love, but also how to make it a forever love.

Soft and gentle Summer love…
When did share love’s first kiss…
‘Pon my lips flutter as wings of a dove.
We shall always remember this.

Autumn come with love’s deep need…
A space… a while… a hand I grasped…
To stay a time, yet end and heed…
’Tis not he will share thy days unto the last.

Winter heart too cold… too cold to sing…
In sun too dim, and dark too bright…
For Greed has no love to bring…
And Love for Greed will give no light.

But, ah-h… at last comes vernal relief…
A tender bud laid in the heart of winter…
When true love blooms in heartache’s release…
And deliver Love’s Spring in our forever…

So Far Away

A poem about not being taken back in by the wrong person, and of what's to be gained by embracing the right one. It’s specifically about the last boyfriend I had, and the healing love of my husband.

Stolen… lost moments…
Deep hidden places…
Secret longing ache…
Rising ‘pon the precipice… falling…
Undulating, rushing sound…
Wall of music… rising pain…
Feeling like it’s all been done…
Got to go through Hell
To get to my Heaven
So far away…

I heard you crying loud…
Wailing outside my door…
Stealing voice from my pain…
Never thinking…
Of how things might’ve been.
Taking me… taking me down…
Tearing me apart.
Was it just a game for you?
Making me a fool… lost…
So far away…

To this door you have no key.
It’s closed to you forevermore.
My wounded heart bides
In this sweet healing space.
What you lost, he gains…
Through trust… and gentle knocking…
Healing drams of love…
Laid at my feet, softly waiting.
Opening to love, I give my hand…
He whispers me a kiss…
Far from you… from pain… he takes me
So far away.
