You're still the reason I wait for winter, why I drive through the dark valley alone, our city merely a distant afterglow, a beautiful and dangerous element rippling through the heart. Perhaps too familiar to hold on to anymore, maybe there's too much painto still carry this torch. I'm still cocooned in our heat, where your body no longer moved of its own accord, opening in a harmony neither of us will understand. A storm...

New galaxies were born tonightThe angels sang on highAll lovers took to bended kneeNew colors filled the skyThe forest creatures stared in aweThe birds were mute as stoneThe waves were frozen at their crestA weeping willow moanedHand in hand we flew aboveThe quiet earth belowThe buck who saw our shadows passBowed to honor his loved doeVerdant carpets spread 'neath our feetOur love so fresh and lightEach blade of grass rem...

I want to speak of passionand all of its untold edges, the barely tangible ones that touch like a summer mist,the ones that spring forth to take us in a furious storm.But to speak in such a waywhere all sings of intimacy and the deepest intensity, I have to touch upon everything, not just the fire in your eyes, I am searching for what will survive beyond the flames.How you open like a curious flower, soft petals glistenin...

Just the taste of your skin, like steam rising from a raging river,it's a heart helplessly on fire,the sound of a star roaring through a still night sky.Whatever passes through here,I can promise this,you have woven all seasons into me.Your delicate fingers once drew maps in all possible directions.The image of such a touch alone is more immediate and visceral than any poetry we can write.It's what I keep with me now,a lo...

Sheathed within you to the very root, even the slightest motion, the most minute shift of hips grinding, make me cry out your name. It's more than just a reflex for those specific syllables to form into a sound that helplessly escapes my throat in ragged needy breaths. It's beyond a prayer to some unseen faith.It's like a primal incantation, a chant that calls to something so deep and ancient in human beings that we will...

Whatever guided you and I first seemed to be simple chemistry, tiny atoms immediate and forever, seizing one upon one another. Our secrets helplessly spilled, not every one of them at first, we were too careful then at what we could relinquish even though we wished to just give it all away. It was as if a little more pain would make the entire heart follow next. And we spread beyond our own stories into one, an involuntar...

You don't know where I go afterwards,after a piece of me is left inside you.Some dim, frost-sheened winter gladeor an endless beach of infinite grainswhere stars ignite against the still ocean,motionless in perfect celestial glows.And I won't be able to tell you this is a memory,we'll still speak with toucheven after descending fromsuch furious passion unleashed.I won't tell you how the last glowfrom your brilliant open e...

You'll see more when you read between the lines, I'll give everything awaywith what isn't set in ink.The chapter is already written all over my exposed skin, confessing that where you and I begin never ends.Our breath mingled unseen, I tasted you before contact, knew you were already sweetlyburning through my bloodstream...And that I wanted to live inside you forever.I wanted to take you inlike the eye of an eclipseand se...

I am not permitted to understandall the mysteries that you contain.The arc of flesh along your breasts,nipples vibrate in tune with a quickened pulse,flicked with a needy and ravenous tongue always seeking to taste more.As I sail through the initial bliss, the infinity blossoming below, I've asked if this frenzy is the center of all things. The softest flesh contracts, more than skin seems to part when you finally take me...

And we're so alike, yet so different,a single language in separate bodiesfreighted with endless meanings,you whispered those and other sacred wordsto me where no one can ever reach.Whatever happens between usafter the rush of making love,my protective touch alwayssearching out your core,your anima will haunt mine.Fingertips moving towards the fiery inletopening between your secretive legs,I can only breathe you in tonight...

Don't tell me about passion, how the flesh covering bonescan rarely see beyond the flamesonce so deliciously scorched.  Once so exposed for another to see, all of my mistakes and scars handed overfor you to hold and see yourself within.  Don't confess your fears with a sound, let me sense your fragile heart as it beats against my own,hums at the core of all we are.  Don't explore or tempt me with words, the light in your...

Chapter 1 Regardless of whatever else would happen, Carly decided she needed to plan on how to get Angela out and when she could do it safely. She was still not sure she would be able to talk Angela into leaving voluntarily, and she could do nothing officially. She finally decided that she would enlist Dawn’s help with it when the time came. But it was going to have to wait until more investigation had been done, and hope...

My friend Rachael and I were planning to go out for the evening. We were going to go to the Cowboy’s nightclub. We were going to be drinking, dancing, and checking out all the hot guys. Rachael is Shelly’s sister. She still doesn’t know that Shelly and I have been intimate together. I don’t know if I’d ever share that with her. Rachael has been my friend since elementary school. I’ve been fantasizing about having a threes...
