candystripper -> Love Poetry (5/27/2006 11:42:24 PM)

Okay, here's another game.  (Gawd, i gotta get this insomnia addressed, lmao.)  Let's have some romance.  Post a love poem Y/you would actually send Y/your One..actual or sought.  Extra points if Y/you write Y/your own.
 
Here's mine:
 
At Last

At last, when all the summer shine
 That warmed life's early hours is past,
Your loving fingers seek for mine
 And hold them close at last at last!
Not oft the robin comes to build
 Its nest upon the leafless bough
By autumn robbed, by winter chilled,
 But you, dear heart, you love me now.

Though there are shadows on my brow
 And furrows on my cheek, in truth,
The marks where Time's remorseless plough
 Broke up the blooming sward of Youth,
Though fled is every girlish grace
 Might win or hold a lover's vow,
Despite my sad and faded face,
 And darkened heart, you love me now!

I count no more my wasted tears;
 They left no echo of their fall;
I mourn no more my lonesome years;
 This blessed hour atones for all.
I fear not all that Time or Fate
 May bring to burden heart or brow,
Strong in the love that came so late,
 Our souls shall keep it always now!

Give me a week..  Give me a week and I'll take a day to drink you in with my eyes.
Let me devour the sight of you as you walk .. the small bulge of muscle in your calf as you take each step, the way your cock sways with each movement as you come towards me naked, bared ... let me soak in the view of you while you sleep .. watch your chest rise and fall with each breath you take .. let me see you laugh and cry and feel.. each emotion raw upon your beautiful face. Give me a week and I'll take a day to drink you in with my eyes.
Give me a week and I'll take a day to breath you into my soul.
Let your scent intoxicate me so I am drunk from it.. the rawness of you after sex.. the power of your smell when you sweat.. your sweetness after all is washed away under the fall of crashing water.. assault my nostrils with your essence.. so that blind.. I know you amongst a thousand.. simply by your smell. Give me a week and I'll take a day to breath you into my soul.
Give me a week and I'll take a day to explore you with my touch.
Let me feel you ...my fingers to trail your flesh, smooth your brow, play in your hair.. let examine every scratch and scar .. touch each one.. name each one... allow me to know your texture.. your temperature.. the soft skin of your neck.. the roughness of your beard.. the hard shaft you carry. Give me a week and I'll take a day to explore you with my touch.
Give me a week and I'll take a day to taste you with my tongue.
Allow my kiss on your soft lips.. explode into my mouth so I may drink of you.. swallow you.. allow me the salt of your tears, your sweat.. nourish me with the sweetness of your breath .. feed me so that I do not die of starvation from the lack of you.. allow my tongue to explore you.. the lobe of your ear, the skin between your fingers.. your ass, your cock.. give them to me so my taste buds may know ambrosia from Heaven. Give me a week and I'll take a day to taste you with my tongue.
Give me a week and I'll take a day to listen to your sounds.
Allow me music in the form of your laughter, sing to my ears with your speech, your sigh .. talk to me.. tell me your stories so that I may know you, how to please you.. whisper that I may strain to hear.. and the sounds sweeter for the effort to capture them.. shout your joy so I may share it with you.. spill your rage .. put the burden on me.. so that calm possesses you.. I will be rapt. Give me a week and I'll take a day to listen to your sounds.
Give me a week and I'll take a day to drink you in with my eyes.. breath you into my soul .. explore you with my touch.. taste you with my tongue.. and listen to your sounds..
Give me a week and I'll take a day.. to love you ... for all the days before. Just give me a week.

LaMalinche -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 12:43:12 AM)

When my love swears that he is made of truth,
I do believe him though I know he lies,
That he might think me some untutored youth,
Unlearnèd in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that he thinks me young,
Although he knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit his false-speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed.
But wherefore says he not he is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told.
   Therefore I lie with him, and he with me,
   And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

This Is Just to Say by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the ice box

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold


Okay, it's not really a love poem, but I love the picture of domesticity this paints.  Plus, if I were sending my husband love poems, it would likely be as an apology for something or other.

Edited because I'm in a daze and nothing is coming out right this morning.

Reflections

Look in my eyes to know my soul
Hear with my ears to know my heart
Experience all that I was, will be, am
With all that you were, shall be, are
Breathe my life, as I breathe yours
Count my blessings, beginning with you
I’ll count yours, starting with me
Give me wings and let me fly
I’ll give you wind to help you soar
Forgive me my faults and mistakes
As I will forget all of yours
Worship at the temple that is my body
As I refresh my soul worshipping yours
Sing to me of honey and light
Let me take the sweet song from your lips
Kiss me deeply with reckless abandon
Till we are mingled, one with the other
Lead me where you are wont to go
I can do no less than follow
Hold my hand on this trek through life
I will cling tightly to yours
Leave me not, or I shall die
If only to remain at your side
 




puella -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 6:19:34 AM)

Here is a poem from the French poet,  Pierre Louys... I will translate it here, though it loses some of the linguistic beauty out of the original French... the images are stirring:


The Hair

He told me: "Last night I had a dream.
Your hair was around your neck,
it was like a black collar
round your nape and on my chest.

"I was stroking your hair, and it was my own;
thus the same tresses joined us forever,
with our mouths touching,
just as two laurels often have only one root.

"And gradually I sensed,
since our limbs were so entwined,
that I was becoming you
and you were entering me like my dream."

When he'd finished,
he gently put his hands on my shoulders,
and gazed at me so tenderly
that I lowered my eyes, with a shiver.




Here are a couple more which are far more specific to the M/s relationship I was in, the first being an excersice I did after doing a bit of a look into the style of Neruda and the second as part of a ring of three poems I wrote on the anniversary of the day he claimed me:
 
 

The Westerly Sea

You kissed me, as the sea kissed our feet
And planks rotted away beneath us

And nothing else mattered
But the firmness of your lips
My ground

There is no worth
In which sea is closer

You stole my soul
With the breath of your claiming kiss

Which will always remind me
Of the taste of the sea against our skin

Consecrating rightness

 
The Black Ribbon

I tied about my neck
A length of narrow, black velvet
Like the invitation of a brightly wrapped gift
With ribbons of far tawdrier hue
Beautiful
In the wholesome abandonment
Of their seduction.

The simple band
Black and soft on white and smooth
Was a beacon of my station
Unclaimed woman
An invitation for your mark
And a boldness unusual for me…
The symbolic beg to be taken.

How I remember the warmth
Of your beautiful hands
Fingers tracing the fine line
Of the claimed ribbon you took
In claiming the woman
So eagerly yours
In such a myriad of wanton pleasures.

This hateful barren neck
Today is adorned again, my love
For you
In that black ribbon
A circlet come full circle
This love and this woman
Unclaimed.




NastyDaddy -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 6:20:54 AM)

Hated to leave you there in bed
had to go...

Sorry I used the last of the toilet tissue
and the toothpaste as well as shampoo
the coffee was good, but it's all gone too
Oh my love, I should've saved some for you

Don't ever forget now much I love you [sm=dance.gif]

Evanesce -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 7:44:02 AM)

Written for me many years ago by Sadomancer, and I've never shared it with anyone until now...
 
Hope, the Rose
 
Caste you please,
New light of mine,
a Glimpse
 into My
Soul,
Stagnant  air,
rough damp
walls,
of frigid
rough hewn
 stone;
gaze upon it’s
trappings,
ere’ bleak,
ere’ dark,
Alone;
 
‘Twas once a
place,
alive and bright,
Ancient
magic filled its’
halls,
left now the
roaring echoes
of,
harsh memories
footfalls;
 
Tucked safely in
A corner tho’,
 where ‘ere
A damp draft
Blows,
A single vine,
My hope reborn,
A single blood red
Rose.

"When You Are Old" -- William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
-------------------

"My Love Reveals Objects" -- by Isabel Fraire

my love reveals objects
silken butterflies
concealed in his fingers

his words
splash me with stars

night shines like lightning
under the fingers of my love

my love invents worlds where
jeweled glittering serpents live

worlds where music is the world

worlds where houses with open eyes
contemplate the dawn

my love is a mad sunflower that forgets
fragments of sun in the silence 
--------------------
 
Variations On A Theme -- by Level Shakespeare
 
There once was a dom from Buffalo
He met a sub who left his heart a-glow
Till he found out she used to be a man
A steelworker from Poughkeepsie named Dan
The dom's now in hiding in Idaho




Littlepita -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 7:49:43 AM)

I don't write poetry but my wonderful Joe does. His name on here is JassWolf and he has given me permission to post the ones he wrote for me. I think he is amazing and reading these again reminds me of all we have gone through to finally be together and in love.

Whereas You
 
Other women –
never say his name
except to those he never knew;
fuck him, when he’s lucky,
like a broken toy;
think lust, like rain
will muss their hair;
cordially accept his faults
with tired love, hopeless heart,
and take him every
where he’s been before.
 
 
Whereas you –
eyes closed, croon “My Joe
all this belongs to you”
with wild abandon, like rain
claw my tired heart clean.
 
And in quiet, take your place,
submit your heart,
give Us shape
of morning, small song, open sky.
 
 
Wrote on 6/15
Whitecaps approached, all day
the clouds blew in
then lifted
like wide skirts at each shift
of your panicked,
star swept voice.
 
Your star-swept voice,
full of what I need
to know,
ticks: "We'll be alright"
every hour it seems. The tension
your velvet voice
 
brings to my skittish groin
is why I believe it.
Tonight, I imagine
the mist of fatigue
rise off
your dreams, little one, little waves
a thousand miles from here.
 
This is my way of starting to pack.
Spread your pale legs,
let the small, hot button
decide.
Lift the girls to where
my lips will be.
I'm on my way.



TODAY March 2, 2006
            On meeting her, after ten months
 
 
Every day, the heart
wrenched with empty fear, loneliness, echoes ….
It was never easy. Even hope
was only a monitor reflecting my face.
And when my fist pumped like a heart,
ten months’ stretched ahead.
I hummed “I must be doing something right”
 
in an empty loft.
We felt the freedom of hope,
the promise of promises, the improbable
reality of dreams still floating in the rubble
of what we’d only been trying to get through.
When you said you’d come to me, finally
I thought ‘I must be doing something right.”
 
With 144 to go, the days began
to tick off like little orgasms, passions,
lusts for the touch of a real whip in just 129 days.
We called it soon, sooner,
95 days only, less, less still ... Today.
Each time I heard you sigh, your little Oooo’s,
I knew I must be doing something right.
 
It is six A.M. Down a long shore, waves
brush the pale curves they love.
The sun will rise behind me. By the time it sets
Today, I will have you.
Like wild surf, you pound with anticipation.
It is your birthday and Tonight I will curl against you
at last. Like warm water, our motion will reflect our stars.
And I will own you, flesh and soul.
 
I must be doing something right.





missgiveNTake -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 8:46:28 AM)

Here are some I wrote:

You

When you are near, everything  seems so right.

When you are far,
I can't seem to see the light.

I just want to curl up in your arms,
and have you hold me tight.

Whisper in my ear,
it's alright.

 
 More

I am more than my color,
as you will surely see.

I am caring, intelligent,
and as diverse as can be.

I am more than my gender,
Do you want to know me?

I have a brain, and a heart,
and a soul to be free.

 




Opposites

Black, White,
White, Black,
So opposite,
So alike.

For flesh, is flesh,
And bone is bone,
It’s the thoughts with-in,
That make us one.

Tall, Short,
Short, Tall,
More opposite,
More alike.

For love, is love,
And desire is desire,
Outer appearances
Matter none.


 
Marriage

Heartstrings fluttering in the wind,

looking for one true friend.

When the search is done,

two shall become one.




cuddleheart50 -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 8:55:31 AM)

I didn't write this, but its one of my favorites.


The Unicorn's Ride

Over your rainbow
A unicorn flew,
He was sent to find me...
He said by you.
"Climb aboard", he whispered,
"We must go for a ride..."
And into a portal of light
We rode inside.
The sky was so blue,
The fields so green,
With each explosion of light
Was a wonderful scene.
So happy we seem
And always together,
There was no end to your dream,
It just went on forever.
Then the unicorn said
"I have one more surprise..."
So we took off quickly
And pierced the sky.
Then I saw you sleeping
And dreaming in your bed...
I caressed your hair gently
And kissed you on your head.
The unicorn interrupted...
"I must now get you home,
But now that you've seen her dream,
May you never feel alone."
My heart is feeling heavy,
A fire burns inside.
Thank you so much my darling
For the unicorn's ride.





slavejlb -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 9:05:18 AM)

Young VS Old
The old stands before next to young;
For the Sir to compare.
Why be with old he ponders and not to despair
The old her hair no longer shimmers or Glisten the light of sun.
Her eyes that once were soft and twinkle in moon light glow
Only shows age of harden, and dim light glaze.
Where young hair show a softness, and brightness
Along with her eyes, and smile.
The old, smile has faded with age,
As her teeth grow bad from years that have pass on.
Why hold the old one’s hands that is weather with time,
Her skin no longer soft and tender
As that of the young she stands beside.
The Old breast that was once perk with life,
Now lay like two dead cow utters,
The young’s is supple and perks at the touch of her Sir
Where at the old hangs lifeless.
The young her body moves simply and graceful
Where the old moves stiff, where arthritis has come to riddle her away
Her movements are slow, for the afflictions of age has come upon her,
The young she show her vital ness, her eagerness when the old has fail.
The young has heart that has yet be broken or cause of pain,
Where the old, her heart is like that of piece of wood from the petrified forest
Although less pretty to look at or to hold
So why be with the old, there are no reason here,
So let the young come forward and sit by my side
Let the old fine her own place
No longer desirable, no longer pleasurable.
No longer in happiest
.




BreakingGlass -> RE: Love Poetry (5/28/2006 10:42:35 AM)

come hither, my love
and assume the position
time to bump uglies
