197...Some One

Some one has to tell you
you're beautiful,
marvelous,
and amazing.

Some one has to tell you
that they love you,
and admire your devotion,
your virtues so true.

Some one has to relieve
your pain
by taking a little for himself
one day at a time.

For the love of God!
Some one has to be there
for you to fall into his arms;
a flower needs water.

Some one else has to cry
besides you,
wipe away the tears
disclosed to few.

Some one for sure
will weep with you
until that "some one"
returns where he belongs

and your happiness
can be complete.
Til then... some one is me
your loving friend.

196...Too Much of You?

195... Solemn Promise

Tenderly pressing her hand upon mine
"Don't let me die" she said to me
A solemn promise meant for me to own
it moved every nerve of my being.

All that mattered at that moment
became one universe in her eyes
filled with anguish yearning relief;
my life became hers and her life mine.

Starry night welled up in her pools
drew my soul ever so close to her side.
LOVE drowning sought relief in my ship
as I listened intently and obliged.

Two tiny specks in the world we believe in
came together to belong to that time.
Tomorrow it will present another surprise,
tonight... I will cherish her life and mine.

194...The Saddest Words

The saddest words spoken "I loved her"
as I repeated it over and over again,
walking it through the annals of my mind
in quiet desperation settling in unrest.

LOVE called into question my actions
as it was weighed heavily on her balance.
Her measure was more critical than mine;
a man's logic fell silent and invalid.

Courage was defined as letting her go
to seek the happiness she deserved,
but LOVE called me a coward instead
shedding light on the hurt she discerned.

Well-rehearsed script stirring doubts,
a quiet reluctance emerged once again.
LOVE disappointed looked into my soul
and I walked away in shame with regrets.

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

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.

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.
