The Shirt

and smooths over his back.

It even goes down below his belt—
down into his pants.
Lucky shirt.

Only Your Voice

how these thoughts,

from this id-driven impulses,
is to ask for only your voice.

Within Her Heart

By Daniel Turner

Within her heart is where I wish to be
To dwell inside the garden of her soul
Where each soft heartbeat plays a symphony
And all around is beauty to behold

The sunshine of her love would keep me warm
My one desire, to take life’s pain away
Consoling her when clouds of sadness form
Removing troubles of each stressful day

Should something cause her fragile heart to break
I’d gather up the pieces tenderly
With love I’d smooth the sharpness of heartache
Then put them back together lovingly

Within her heart is where her beauty lies
Her love, the light that shines within her eyes

The Long Game

By Anais Vionet

We’re playing the long game.
We share things, we’re lovers,
we slip in and out of each other’s lives
like jackets hanging on the back of a door.

Relationships are like instruments,
they must be played, kept in tune,
the carnal and the corny balanced,
carefully, like sections of an orchestra.

Sometimes, I feel that I have to bring the energy,
BE the entertainment – and I can do that – in spades
but not forever – I’m not a tireless-giver – in fact,
I’m atavistically Parisien (we admit loving nothing).

I’m learning that when a relationship’s conducted,
at great remove, the basics – like punctuality,
dependability and preparation – become a big deal.

To Write Of Love

By Daniel Cheeseman

If I was to write of love, then from my
nib your heart would flow. Dreams
would be the parchment on which I
scribe, and your fragrance the sentence
formed. A desire and passion would
flood my page, with intermittent kisses
instead of punctuation. Chapters of
grace would fill your eyes, the contents
feelings spill your soul. The ink from
deep and pulsing veins, would secrete
the validity of my emotions. I see and
do not see, for with your absence my
page is blank, yet in your thought reams
I write. Let this page be a blanket on
which those eyes could sleep, and
realize my love is not a dream, but
reality in reaching words.

Love’s Reflection

By Charlie Smith

Love neither gives or takes but from itself.
Be not wiled by fantasies of arrogance.
Take no more than is offered by yourself.
Leave nothing trapped in tortured irrelevance.

Seek not a barter for desires that sue your heart.
Worthiness is the only tender that comes due.
Suffer willingly the melody of pain it may impart.
Bleed joyfully from the wounds that will ensue.

As tree branches lift their hopes towards Heaven’s door,
hands together reaching higher than alone will seek
heights that love’s imagination most beautifully implores
that from a poets words unending ecstasy must speak.

Whatever you desire your life to be,
may loves reflection be all you see
