There's a tension in the mellowing;A striving in the firelight;A beauty in the darkening air;A gentleness in the autumn fury.Aging love, steadfastly kept,Is still a thriving, broad-shouldered youth.Well-worn hearts are entwined in ivy,Bursting with berried, passionate joys.These ancient days of soft caressesAre forceful in the dying day,And aching limbs still spring with happy desireIn the meeting of dear flesh on flesh.M...

Splattering raindrops drum the rooftops,Winds surround two loves out there;In torrential downpours, soaking;They don't notice; they don't care.Gale-blown leaves both shout and whisper,Trying to catch their smiling eyes;The laughing raindrops try to prod themFrom the ever-darkening skies.These sad eyes both watch their moment,Purely focussed, heart to heart,And jealousy has no place in here,Where my own was torn apart.In t...

I'm alive in the noon sun,Naked and glisteningWith the fire of the skies as I wait here, a-listening.I'm alive in the pale moon,Clad in lunar lace,Starry hopes shining forth from this still-waiting face.I'm alive in the blessed dawn,Dew runs from my core.I wished to be kissed by you; I'll wait some more.I'm alive in the twilight,Lamplight strokes my skin,Feeling my beauty; I want you within.I'm alive in your mindAs you th...

The shadows of the night claw desperately to these rocks,Roiling in fear at the thought of the breaking of DayAs it pours blinding light and heat over the soil and moss,Rending the darkness into pieces,Exploding the monsters to nothingness,Squeezing rainbows into the dewdropsBefore wiping them up and consigning them to feral history.These grey-green morning mists choke the earthBefore they are made pure whiteAnd are scorc...

The lamplight glows across the face of my dreamsAs reality hides from these ragged, ripped seams.A kiss in the shadows and the touch of your handIs all that I crave in this dreaming wasteland.These fears flee your smile as I think of your face,And I know I abide without shame and disgraceAs I lie in your arms and I hear your heart beat;In my endless desires rest your passionate heat.Do not look upon me, or the shape I am...

This story only available on Lush Stories.That morning, she saw the late September sun streaming through the window. As Winter wearily left the house, she grabbed her thin green hoodie, and breathed in the fresh, dew-laden air. Work was such a blasphemy on a glorious day like this, she thought, grumpily getting into her car.On the way to work, she saw crowds of rowdy school children jostling each other, and bus queues of...

This poem only available on Lush Stories.Clean swathes of stars in the lushly green meadows;Sweet scent of your breath on my soul;Dusky blue skies with their gossamer cloudsMake my heart sing as you make me whole.Grasping my hands in this autumn-gold sunAs the moonpennies blaze final glory,The kiss of your lips on my neck lends a shiverAs the first shoots grow in our love story.A smile for my heart and a kiss on my lips,A...

It is exactly a year ago to the dayWhen you said you’d travel the miles to me.A broken car and a broken dream,And you would not let me down.That’s what you said.You would not let me down.I couldn’t believe it, this handsome love,This kind and gentle manWhose smile crinkled his caring eyesAnd calmly soothed my fears away.A year ago to the day.I woke that morning with an anxious heart,And fears plaguing my soul,And yet you...

This story only available on Lush Stories.“Is she really there, darling?” he whispered near his wife’s ear as he slid his penis between her oily breasts.“Mmmm…” she smiled in answer as she lapped at his helmet with her tongue every time it emerged from her deep cleavage. He stepped up his pace, knees on either side of her as she lay below him, almost parallel to the window, lit from either side with little lamps placed to...

I found your letters.I found all your texts, your private messages,Your emails and your letters;Every single letter of your letters.You wrote them as if you are a stranger to me;As if you don’t know me,As if you are not the man I cannot live without;The one whom I care so deeply for;You, whom I love so incessantly.I read what you wrote to her.Who is she?Where did you find her?Did she sweep into your life like Aphrodite,Ch...

This poem only available on Lush Stories.He said to her:"A woman who's funny and knows how to grin;Who'll go out of her way to make my needs fit inWith her life and her wants and her every-day travel;Who'll match up my odd socks; untangle, unravelAll the mess that I make of my cares and my woes,And who won't mind massaging my big hairy toes.A woman who'll match up my socks that are odd,And not care I'm a geek or a nerd or...

This poem only available on Lush StoriesThere is so little time.I lie here, staring out of the windowAt the stars,As they twinkle their ambivalent gaze back at me.And I think of you.These tears slide, first hotly as they leave me,And then coldly like a river of mercury down my cheekIn this starlight and candlelight.They speak of what would have,Could have,Might have been.But never will.You never saw me.Not really.You saw...

Rip it out.Look at it.Red, throbbing, oozing sensualityAnd excitement for you;Pumping these double beats in your handLike thunder through the lust-filled skiesAnd pouring scalding lifeOver your hand;Glistening ripe and freshAnd pounding in your grasp;This sensation is fearAnd hope and terror and theNeed to stay here and be lovedWith unassuaged passionIn your all-encompassing gaze of power.Squeeze.Squeeze this ripped out c...

This poem only available on Lush Stories. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.This sultry, shimmering wall of blazing heatIs as misplaced in the night as aCreature of darkness exposed in the day.I step outside and walk to meet you,The cavernous oven melting my hairTo lie clinging, drippingOn my neck.My footsteps wade throughThis black orchid syrup mistTowards you.I cannot breathe.But I don't want to,Not wi...

You smile.Your mouth roars as the raging lionBiting through this bleeding flesh.You tear through the outer layers ofSkin and meat that hideThe heart that beats inside this dripping cage.You rip apart these screaming tendonsOf lies and false protection,Of muscle-bound fear and taut sinews,A mesh of wire-tight cords of painThat reap my fear and multiply.You strip me of this outer layer;You lay this loathsome mantle aside;An...
