poetry
Below is a sample of some lyric poetry. Inspired by the poetry of St John of the Cross, I set out to capture some of his over the top lyricism. He sort to communicate directly with God himself and was imprisoned for his efforts.

loving me loving you...
Your blue eyes envelop
My brown skin, a desert
Blown away by soft words,
In the wind I feel the sun
Drawn to your lips, a touch
Separates the red moistness,
The paleness of your smile
I kiss, our cheeks brush
Hair running through fingers.
We look across wide blue
Eyes flashing, rasping silence
We sit in peace speechless,
Blinking at gentle brightness
Flowing love veins, a touch
Traces the raised blueness,
The forgiveness of laughter
Knows not, what we do
Grants me my salvation.
At work time shaves edges
Off no-one, standing still
Eyebrows raise departure,
The earth runs to the other
Arms outstretched, a touch
Lends your smile freshness,
The suppleness of a breast
I kiss, brushes my hair
loving me loving you.

Tenderly
Softly
you said,
I see you behind
your computer,
my heart
longs for love.
Quietly
I replied,
I also want love
to blossom here,
my heart
sighs for you.
Gently
my hand,
goes out to touch
your wavy hair,
not there,
nothing there.
Tenderly
you sang,
I paint bodies
my body does,
my heart
longs of love,
sighs to you,
nothing there...
