Whisper Intrigue…

Whisper Intrigue...

~*~

I’ve been thinking of you…
Dreaming of every detail…
Your voice when you speak my name…breathless…
How you would look into me when our eyes would meet…

Our souls touching tentatively at first…
Seeing…seeking…knowing…
How your eyes would sparkle when you’d smile at me…

Your smile bright as a thousand suns….
Adoration in your gaze…
Your words whisper intrigue…aphrodisiac….seducing me…
I’ve been thinking of you…
Of the times we say nothing…conversations through our heated gaze… unable to look away…
Yes…I’ve been thinking of you…
And I wonder…do you think of me?

Let Me Be….

~*~

Let Me Be...

~*~

Cacophony…Noise….Disquiet….

It is too much…

All of it…

Let me be still…

I want to think my quiet little thoughts in surround sound of silence…

Let comfort be my pillow and tranquility my blanket….

If words were my ocean…let me dip my toes into the pool of serenity….

let them swirl about soothing me…whisper intrigue…

as they entwine to form expression of emotion…

A thought…a feeling…a wish…

They encircle me filling me with wonder at their joining…

Fascination at their power…

Yes…please…

Let me be…just for awhile longer…

If I am very still…they come to me…dance for me…bring me tears…delight…placidity…

a quixotic smile at their unique denouement…

Yes…please…

Let me be…

Captivated…

~*~

~*~

You look into me…

Me into you….

We meet there in the middle…

Captivated…

Need drives its own insistent desire to inception…

Embraced in this perfect moment…

Held by the enigmatic nature of will…

Unable to look away…

Locked in place….

Locked in time…

Don’t look away…

Keep me here as I memorize your soul with mine…

Let us stay suspended in wonder….

Before reality’s ocean rips us apart….

We are helpless in its wake….

Fate’s cruelty using us as pawns for pleasure….

Neither here nor there….

Our moment permanently fixed in the stars for all time…

Love…without completion…without end…

Forever captivated….

Divine Torment…

~*~

waiting seaside

~*~

Can you feel my presence?

I can feel yours…

Enticing me…

Sometimes you’re like a soft breeze…

A delicate whisper…

Gentle and knowing…

Beckoning me…

Sometimes you’re like waves crashing…

washing over me…through me…intoxicating me…

Can you feel it?

That illusory electric spark…

Magnetic…

Addictive…

Taunting…

Seductive…

Divine torment…

waiting twilight

~*~

You want me?

Come find me…

Make up your mind.

This is the last of a fictional series that began with Edge of Peripheral & Decadance In The Dark. I have to give special thanks to Eris of Discord for sparking my imagination with an incredible poem in the comments of and  inspired by Edge of Peripheral.

Also many many thanks to my other amazing friends who requested I do follow up to the first in this entertaining little surreal fantasy.

Decadence In The Dark…

~*~

Twilight Moon

~*~

I feel your gaze…a soft caress…
I see you between the pale light of the rising moon and deep shadows…
There and not there..
Waiting…
Come find me…
Dance this subtly surreal dance with me…
Decadence in the dark…
Let us stay in the hidden peripheral..
I, in the trance of twilight’s tempestuous temptation…
You, on the edge of everything and nothing…
There… not there…
Come find me…
Take my hand…
Rescue me…

Edge of Peripheral…

~*~

Peripheral

~*~

I can almost see you
I know I don’t know you…
Simultaneously, I know everything about you…
You are in my dreams…
In my thoughts…
We meet there occasionally…
There is the known and unknown…
That magical seductive dance that ignites my imagination…
Recognition….
There you are…
Waiting for me…
On the edge of peripheral…

Symphony…

(In a dream)

~*~

~*~

She closes her eyes to watch the parade of allemande memories dance

through her mind…as if choreographed…

Only these memories are of him…and her…desire mixed with love…

creating a symphony out of each detail of their time together…

His eyes imprinted in her mind…

so full of adoration and his love for her…

His touch forever fixed as an indelible mark upon her senses…

heightening them with only a thought…

His voice the song in her heart…

soothing while caressing her with each word… such sweet elegance…

This dance of love keeping synchronous rhythm…

 Every step…every breath…every heartbeat shared….

Building the chorus of their song…

keeping time…once elusive…now at their leisure…

Each memory adds to the one before…

As it is being composed with each new moment…

adding to its crescendo…

October Rose…

~*~

~*~

She sat staring remembering the beginning…
When the darkness enveloped her…
the darkness that permeated her everything…

~*~
Every moment…began to get brighter…
Slow and steady the light shone through…
Fought its way to her…

~*~
She tried to hide from it

complacent in the comfort in the deep black of her memory…
The light…

Finding its way through…started to brighten her world…

~*~
It was foreign to her…
She had forgotten what it felt like…

Warmth on her face…

surrounding her in its embrace…in its beauty…
One ray of light…then another…
Another and another…

~*~
Soon she could see again…
She saw smiles…
She felt the warmth of friendship…
She was inundated by the light…
She welcomed it finding new comfort here in its golden hues…
She sat staring…remembering when it dawned on her…
She knew…
It was the October Rose…

In A Moment….

~*~

~*~

In A Moment…

 You can laugh…

You can cry….

You can behold the most beautiful things…

You can have your breath taken away…

You can experience excruciating agony…

You can cry tears of joy…

You can be given devastating news..

You can smile…

You can create unforgettable memories…

You can fall in love…

You can brighten someones day…

You can give your heart away…

You can walk away from love…

You can break a heart…

You can mend a heart…

~*~
All this and more you can do in a moment…

Cherish every moment…

 For it’s not how much time you have…

It’s the moments you fill it with…

Intoxicating Inception…

~*~

~*~

As if from nowhere…

Suddenly you were there…

You knew me, better than I knew myself…

I recognized you even though you were unknown…

Intoxicating inception…

~*~

Soft sensuous whispers of promising adventures to come…

Laughter…joy…peace…trust…

Excited anticipation to know and be known again…

Seduction by words…

~*~

Reality comes crashing in…

Doubt…fear…uncertainty…

This can not be real…

You are my imagination’s foolish figment…

I realize the truth…

You can not be here….

This can not be real…

~*~

The mind rationalizes the irrational, to protect itself…

Dichotomy in a dream…

~*~

Dare I risk tempestuous temptation?

What if…

A whole plethora of what if’s…

~*~

If I want to live…

If I want to truly experience life…

Then I must accept the terrifying risk…

That when I awake from this desirous dream…

You…disappear…
