Dragon's Breathe

She sighs, waiting in her empty bed
The cold, invading her senses, chilling her bones
Alone, she covets for her lover's heated flesh
Warm breathe upon cool skin, burns
Souls ignite with the first touch
Minds melt, hearts thaw
Sighs escape between hungry kisses
Hands clasp, bodies shudder
Taking only what they need from one another
Seconds, minutes, hours
Neither willing to grant more
Desire simmers in her eyes
Shadows fade from his
Fated to be together
If only a handful of moments
Holding, he offers
Pierced, she surrenders
Tongues sear
Lips brand
Teeth scour
Nails rake
Brought to a blazing peak
Shattering, colors burst behind her eyes
Spent, parched, her body
Shimmers like a blue-tipped flame
Entangled, they lay upon scorched sheets
Soot smears her blood filled cheeks
Specks of charcoal cover his chest
Glowing embers in the aftermath
She curls into his side, tracing the dragon from head to tail 
Singing her fingertips, she watches
Mesmerized as its scaly skin stirs underneath
Her gentle caress

The Confidant and The Key

We talk of secrets, of dreams we've dreamed, You tell me your countless thoughts, I bring you my problems, We argue the future, we reminisce of the past, My tongue is tangled with words for you, I read your faces, as you know my moods, You push my thoughts to the brink, I challenge your theories, You want simple, I am complicated, I give, you question, You are irreplaceable , I am the exception, I seek your wisdom, you ask my opinion, Your words like a warm blanket, My voice a soothing balm, I am your key, you are my confidant

Out of the Dark

I'm scared of what you are, of what you represent, You reflect back at me everything I fear and can not control, Why? Why is it so hard to let go, To accept the things I have no power over or sway, You are the embodiment of everything I am afraid of, I can't change you, I can't fight you, I can't make you bow to me, I can't keep you, Will it be easier when you are gone? When I no longer have my mirror in front of me?

Cybil

The rain reminded me of you today, Of your tears that I can not stop from flowing, It gently slid down my cheeks cool and wet, I wanted to tell you I miss you, That Autumn is coming and you're not here, The Cottonwoods are changing, Oranges, reds, yellows, and browns, The Rio Grande looks like it was braided with colorful ribbons, I ache to dance with you beneath the desert sky, To feel the sand beneath our feet, and the breeze upon our faces, The scent of sage surrounding our warm bodies, I hope one day again we will share a Fall together, With cups of Chai and good conversation. Your, Q
