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...
