Did we meet?

Have I met you in a previous life?
When mountains roared and winds were strife
When men fought with clubs... and guns were amiss …
for they were future booming sticks
Did I meet you.... when women knew not pretty nails?
And birthing screams could bring deaths’ tears
Did I meet you when guns were blasting overhead?
Feet were bound and young men bled
Did we meet... among billowed skirts.. and heaving bosoms?
Masquerades... and swooning women
Did I meet you when you could not read?
And writing was a figment dream
When your back was bleeding with fingers raw
Taken from me and sent abroad?
Did we meet... under sun kissed skies?
Child-like laughter.... and sweet lullabies?
Cotton candy and carousels. Tell me… does this ring a bell?
Did we meet beyond all space and time?
When thoughts of us were sublime?
Did our souls collide?.... sparking flames?
Smoldering hotter..... than hell’s remains?
Are we intertwined? Two love-lost souls
Cowering.... under life’s forbidden hold
Will u meet me... where the ancients sleep?
And may they rise... as our love weeps
Transcending thru the portals of time
Will we meet as mortals..cloaked in divinity?
Eyes wide shut... Seduced.. by.. the thoughts.. of thee
When we meet my love... Will you know……..tis me?

Declaration to 'ETAH'

ETAH…I sense I’m just beyond your grasp…
your seeking to envelop me..
I dodge…I twist…I turn…
to avoid your hold on me
Reaching for that better self
layered deep within….
I cannot accept your embrace
nor let you enter in.
oh..ETAH..I feel….. your sordid breath
upon my neck.. whispering gently..
Mmmm.(thoughtfully)...how sweet you are..
Mouth of a serpent I dare not tilt my head
lest I find out who you are…
Lest you turn my flickering light to dark…
And draw me into your abyss…
Seductive though your world can be
I dare not.. be mesmerized by thee..
So proud I stand…although...alone….
Tempted not by you…
Faith in that flickering light
that deems to pull me thru..
Releasing what you could not seize…
hands clasped upon my breast…
I turn to you and declare….
“Goodbye ETAH…forever..
…HATE..will not live in here”

Do You Dare?

"Do you dare to touch me there
bodies molded unaware
sensations rising from within
can you control the space we're in
Breathing sharply can't you see
how I wish to be lost in thee?
Do you have this same desire?
against your loins I feel your fire
Blazing deep from within......
do I open up to let you in?...
to feel the thrust of what you bring?
Can you satisfy this thrist?...unquenched...
carried with me as a curse.
Though gentle you can be...
my body knows there's more to thee...
and that is what I seek .....
unbridled passion....Can you give?
Can you awake my soul to live?
do I? Can I? Will I? Trust you withthis task......
body willing...shuddering within your grasp.....
If I dare .... to let you in
Will you stay and give to me
that which I seek from thee?
Could my trust be safe with you
Will your soul touch mine and pull me thru?
in anguish.....and desire...my body..... then........ collapses into you."

The Kiss....

Lips pressed gently...soft and sexy
deep and sweet...yet with intensity
trying to touch the soul within
seperate heartbeats...beating as twins
mesmerized within your gaze
searching past the mirrored haze
opened mouth beckoning...
down this road that we begin
Essence...buried deep...within
frightened of the unknown things
with one kiss...melted in...forgetting
All but the room held in......

Black Man May I?

Blackman may I.......wrap my joy around you,
to ease the pain your going through?
May I caress your bald, faded, low cut....dreaded do
as I look into your eyes and see you?
Blackman may I unshackle the chains that wish to bind,
and untie the ropes that have been twined...
around you?
Blackman may I sit upon your manhood,
as your strong hands caress the small of my back,
may I get lost in the sea of your exploding purity?
Blackman may I ...bare your little warriors
to conquer what they might?
May I stand strong..in front, beside, and behind you while you fight?
Blackman may I stroke your ego,
to bring a smile? and make this life for you, more worthwhile?
May I shed your tear, when you've lost someone close to you?
Blackman may I fill your soul with laughter?
May I brighten up your day?
When I come to you......Blackman
would you bid me stay?
May I kiss the feet you walked on,
during the harrowing moments of your day?
May I lay my head upon your chest?
And feel the depth of your breath?
Blackman may I slowly walk with you along the sands of time,
May I let you know that I am yours and ...You are mine?
Blackman when the sliver hairs of time glisten upon you,
May I hold your hand in mine and wade the water with you?
Blackman when all is said and done, and your gait has lost its vigor...when your breath shallows, and death has come to pull its trigger...
When you walk the walk that will see you through, past this world...it's joys, it's
pains.......as he beckons you; Blackman may I accompany you?

The Split.....

Broken shadows of a dream …..
once held in such high esteem
Youth foretold it’s rugged path……
one day knowing it would not last
The growth of two untwined souls………..
stretches forth in the cold
Twisting ….writhing….never meant to stay …
but, searching for that better day
Frustration mounts ….and civility slows…..
Anger must not come to bear
Too much history once was shared……..
laughter once though dimly lit
could not sustain thru this shift
to much history to much pain
to much unforgotten ……..to much blame
the strength of one is not enough
tired now…the roads to rough
little souls ….you’ll be okay…for
what lies a head….is a brighter day.

Lying Lips........

Your tongue so split…..
words of love ….
words of hate
you think the words of love…
I should appreciate?
You say…
your everything…
the world to me…
your world so dark….how could that be?
It is not the ‘me’ you love …
it is the ‘thought’ of me…
You don’t have the strength…
to carry the weight of me…
For I am fierce …independent….
full of life and love to be released
Try you have to stifle….
out it seeps…..

Consume me...............

Wrap me in your embrace
Tell me that my worlds’ erased
Let me lose myself in your caress
Let me forget every…all…and nothing less
Squeeze me tighter if you will
Making sure my trembles….still
Head rested on your chest….raising
Up…and….down….with every breath
My eyes are closed…not seeing
Not caring ….what outside..holds
With your cheek upon my brow…..
True comfort never felt til now
If for a life time…if only for today
Cherish me forever…in the moment.
In this way.
