192...XCVII- Sonnet-The Feast

Night thighs hot and humid
pores piqued with tingles;
fingers pace themselves
with streaks down the middle

as mine eyes playfully feast 
under the fullness of the moon,
glistening hills and valleys
of fine art that is all of you.

Climatic laughter rested beside us,
as thoughts steered to pretend
a faint quivering of my lips

whispered "love" under its breath,
with "you" and "I" at each end.
Tomorrow will we still remain friends?

189...TEACH ME

My Darling,
teach me to wait on your kisses
so they're more intense
and the very best.
To hang on your words
with great anticipation
so they seduce the mind
with bated breath.
To touch my heart
completely and deeply
when holding my hand
and your fingers caress
the lessons learned
sitting by your window's ledge
watching the sunrise's
first light of enlightenment.
Learning things
that make me a better man.

188...Ardent Stare

An ardent stare
made love to you
before I even touched you

187...Eclipse Sublime

Oh! blood moons come alive in mine
beguile me with your savory wine
ravishing red lips pressed in line
to fashion a voluptuous eclipse sublime

184...Sonnet XCVI THE AFFAIR

The pages of our love affair
sustained a paradise of words
that formed chapters of discreet
titillating secrets yet discovered.

Our favorite passages contained
the coded language we exercised
to fill our worlds with excitement,
make it fade away slowly each time.

Our rendezvous under the stars
were the best kept secrets indeed.
In each others arms we learned

the wrong side was the place to be.
All the sordid elements against us
became the torment that let us breathe.

183..ELEMENTS

The first element of Life water
brought into the world wonders
exuding from your very pores;
excitement in all its natural splendor

182...DANCE OF THE SUNS

Through the mirror I saw nature smiling
in a ballad of lights dancing by our side
as your own sunshine flirting with the moon
made love with us anticipating sheer delight

The stars of the twilight's majestic canopy
fell upon us as cherries floating in a stream
to announce the soon arrival of morning's glory;
and have your own sunshine cloaked in mystery

181...Sonnet XCV FLOODGATE

Rooted long ago in keen observations
discreet barriers were slowly erected;
irreverent dams built to prevent
streams of emotions into a commitment.

You pulled levers and pushed buttons
to release the waters meant for two;
but my arrogant vanity kept its seal
and when you had done all you can do

you gave up...and I was left with a sea
with no rivers or a brook to breathe.
It was me who pushed open within you

the floodgates of resentment against me
to consume my conceit and drown my sin,
by losing you...and become the man I should be.



DionWorx

180...CANDOR MAN

You struggled with my candor
at times brutal honesty;
yet you stuck around to carry
measured words for you to study,

examine the heart to follow my mind.
a daunting task in your confidence
chose to take on as a project
unaware of the resolve ever present.

Your feminine wiles was no match
something inside me could not move
in the direction you wanted, together
the odds were stacked against you.

A man who knew the difference
between lust and love chose one;
so when you asked "Do you love me"
one answer prevailed...now you're gone.

179...Soldiers and Politics

Political tussles with morbid tassels
form mountains with deep canyons
its valley collects the blood spilled
of unselfish volunteer's call to action

War of words fought by politicians
while soldiers fight the real battle
on the field of death with honor
a campaign of "peace in pieces" that rattle

Stack flesh & blood, limbs and bones
all the courage, fear, tears and pain
that collectively make statistics flow

and you have a soldier's price paid.

178...Sonnet Forbidden Fruit

The bold canvas of the night sky
held a tapestry of stars chosen,
emblazoned as gems for our eyes only
in a kind of magic to mark the moment.

Hidden beauty unloved madness and trust
begging to succumb to a slower method,
dividing pulse of hearts and tremble
into the rhythm of drumbeats perfected.

Sad promises were challenged as lacking.  
Deeds presented themselves as real.
If you're mine tonight and his last night;

what is the forbidden fruit's appeal?
Are we to venture into the lake of fire
in a sordid ordeal... or heaven piecemeal.

177...THE GLASS BRIDGE

Prophet of doom stood on a bridge of glass
brandishing a heavy sledge hammer
with "racism" etched on the business end
as people looking to cross gathered.

Each time she spoke she pounded heavily
on the delicate and fragile glass
fomenting anxieties that filled the air
and a deep reluctance that prevailed sad

Unswayed by the diatribe of rhetoric,
the hammer being wielded recklessly;
I cross the glass bridge unscathed
demonstrating to all the possibilities

But the standoff at each end continued
as she joined forces with another alike.
Through dark forests they came to hear
dividing all at the bridge that unites.


DionWorx


Politicians...the modern-day prophets of doom

175...MIGHTY WOMAN

All the hurt launched at you
by the man of your dreams
could not stop the river
filled with loyalty.

Tenderness and endless love
that kept flowing over and under,
around each and every obstacle
intended to put your will asunder.

You embraced the life as a gift
and special in each of your children
up to the day you embraced the earth
a mighty woman gave all in the end

Lying beside the still waters
promised for a life of sacrifice;
your just rewards will unfold with time,
and an angel for heaven will arise.

Dedicated to the greatest woman in my life...My dear Mother
