Daily Prompt: Rain

Published on by Liz4 Comments

Raindrops fall on the roof above us
The winds sigh through the window seams
Nestled beneath warm covers
Skin to skin, lost in dreams
All that love demands
Lost in twined hands
in safety
you see
me

Simplify

Published on by Liz1 Comment

can we ever simplify our love, she asked,
to what truly matters the most?

do i love you because of all the things you’ve given me
or is it in those moments when you hold me close?

is it in the way you hold my heart in your hands
like it’s the most precious thing that you own?

Our love simplified is all this and more, he replies,
it’s the only love I’ve ever known.

you look utterly divine,
her lover said
as she lay underneath the covers
of his bed
wearing only a slip of
expensive French lace,
and a Mona Lisa smile
on her beautiful face

you’re a conveyor of lies,
she replied
though I like how your love for me
does not hide
everything you say
is plain as day
you don’t seem to care
what anyone will say

for they don’t know you like I do,
he whispered in her ear
they don’t know the secrets
you reveal to me whenever I’m near
but all this doesn’t change
how perfect you are to me
with that Mona Lisa smile
that’s only mine to see.

28: Inkling

Published on by LizLeave a comment

it was just an inkling,
nothing more,
the softest of whispers
before the dawn

his touch speaking volumes,
a sweet caress
as she folded into his arms,
become his to possess

his to hold,
his to bind
all his to do as he pleased
two hearts entwined

and in the morning light,
when the doubts would flee
she knew then he was hers
utterly, completely

27: Inscrutable

i wish you’d tell me things, she said
i wish you’d tell me lies
instead, you are inscrutable
every emotion hidden behind your eyes

tell me the things you wish for,
tell me your dreams
let me be the one you turn to
when the demons gnaw at the seams

but i tell you these things already
he whispered in her ear
as he wrapped her in his warmth, his love
till he swallowed all her fears.

24: Dominant

he’s the keeper of her heart,
her body, and her soul,
he calms the storms raging inside her,
he’s the one who makes her whole

it’s a choice she makes every day,
it’s the only thing she wants
that he be her Sir and her Master,
that he be her Dominant

for it frees her from the days
solving all the worries of her world
transporting her to a place where the only thing
that matters is his word

it’s the sanctuary she craves
the moment she’s in his arms
cradled by his words, his warmth, his love,
where he’ll keep her safe from harm

Blink and you’ll miss it,
the old woman said
and before you know it,
it’ll be the end

and you’ll realize too late
that you’ve yet to step out that door
even if you have no idea yet
what treasures to look for

for there’s so much to see
out there in the sun
so much to experience
before this short life is done

a kind smile
can light up one’s day
or just a look that says you care
when there’s nothing left to say

So stop your worrying,
don’t wait too late
take that step you’ve been dreaming of
there’s so much at stake.

17: Agile

Published on by LizLeave a comment

I’m not as agile
as I used to be–
there are just too many words
wanting to get out of me

so many things
I want to say
it simply depends
on the mood of the day

for sometimes
I just want to disappear
in a world where
everything is crystal clear

where yes is yes
and no is no
where nothing’s too fast
or too slow

where gentility lives
and love still reigns
but that’s long gone now
depending on the day.
