Micropoems

| Medusa And Perseus her head was his goal but her gaze cowed his soul a chill deep in the bone would turn him to stone |
Rosy Red
her rosy red
bent over the bed
a grin In her eyes
such lovely thighs
wriggling her flank
with every spank
and ponytail yank
Mom
she kissed my scrapes
and healed them
calmed me
when
my anger flared
her breasts became
my first refuge
my orphaned heart recalls
The Loveliest Hearts
the loveliest hearts
find each other,
even in the
darkest corners
their light shines
brilliantly
one for the other
Nightshade
a wink and
a gentle nudge
hide tomorrows lies
behind
a mask
of innocence
more poisonous
than nightshade
Her Eyes
with a mere glimpse
I fall into her eyes
swimming desperately
for a surface
which is not there
for her eyes lie
Marry Me
You said one day you'll marry me
Of that I have no doubt
We will live and love happily
Thru caviar and sauerkraut
Pixie
A pixie stood
under
a mushroom
waiting
for the rain to ease
she liked the patter
but it stirred the dust
Love Was There
love was there
I know it was
the feeling
is
hard to fake
But something happened
along the way
and now there is
just this ache
The Mirror Stands
The mirror stands
in the corner
silently observing
the life around it,
commenting on
behavior with
its very reticence
in the corner
silently observing

The Last Thing
she was there
it was the last thing
he expected...
and the most delightful
Touch
As I pass by
our hands brush
skin grazing silken skin
I raise my eyes
to apologize
and find on your face a grin
Grandfathers Library
dust motes float
in the sunbeams
through curtain pinholes -
grandfathers library is a
long vanished world
of adventure
The Old Church
the roof collapsed long ago,
weeds grow
where the pulpit stood,
yet I still hear
the faithful raise
a chorus in praise
The Crypt
Menacingly crouched among the stones...
moldy angels leer at all who pass
even the dying grass seems cowed
In Love With Love
In love with the idea
of being in love,
but not in love with me,
she spoke the words
I wanted to hear
her only wish, to flee.
Your Touch
you gently touch
my heart and soul
your delicate rushes
revive my senses
flash through my being
the unique magic that is you
Forgotten Garden
My forgotten garden
lingers in the mind;
that time cannot
be expressed
without tears
for the loss of
youthful love
and endless days
Eternity
if you give me you
and I give you me
we will ever be
from now to eternity

Sexting and Texting
Sexting and texting
late night phone calls
there's nothing so cruel
as long distance love

| Her Face Her face is etched in my memory
She's been gone for so long
I hoped it would
be faded now
but that may
never be

Ode To A Grumbling Gargoyle On Her Return From The Colonies
My thoughts return
to the dark insides
where the real me
writhes and coils
The smiles and nods
I greet you with
hide those nasty
roiling boils
Dreaming
Dreaming of you
makes living
worthwhile
Fleeting
autumn's fleeting beauty
lasts a lifetime
Twitter Friends
My Twitter friends
are so many blends
of love and joy
whether girl or boy
they treat me well
like the knell of a bell
so many kind
hearts entwined
Half Remembered Dream
I think of you often
like a half remembered dream
sometimes you're a poem,
with a long forgotten theme
Words
I play your
words on my
lips and tongue,
roll them around
nibble and nip.
Swallow and
beg for more.
I Love You
'I love you',
I murmur
while nibbling
your lobe.
'I know', you
smile gently
as you slip off
your robe.
Honesty
I stand naked
before you
stripped bare
of all that I hide
from the world
My pledge to you
is honesty
Holding Yourself
Many young men
spend their teens
holding themselves
in their trousers
We're so afraid
it'll wander off
that we don't let go
for many hours
Dancing by Firelight
(Thanks to Cynthia Sierra [@azdesertr0se]. Her lovely poem was the inspiration for this)
She danced barefoot
in a long white gown
with daisies in her hair
The firelight shone on
her glistening face
I watch her, o so fair.
she turned the
brightness level
of my eyes
up and down,
according to
her mood.
The Milky Way
may fling itself
apart
and
I will still
love you
In the dark
my fingers found
her mons veneris
Her hand
clutched mine
and held it there
while she
gasped
into my throat
Sin
If sin is the norm
like puritans preach
then God understands
when we act as they teach
Lucy
From inches away
she stares into my eye
unblinking
licks her lips
as if in anticipation,
and rubs her soft cheek
against mine,
marking me
as hers.

Like the egg
on the wall
I'm broken
Only you
can put me
back together
again.
You can,
but will you bother.
Head on
my pillow
I feel/hear
my heartbeat.
Memory of
pain causes
mind to race
heart apace
panic stirs.
The sidewalk
is empty.
Glancing up
a cluster
of cameras
catch the eye.
Movement...
One swivels
and points at
me
*shiver*
My plight
the blight
that is you
When silence was called for
I said the wrong thing
Now she is silent
And boy, does it sting

| Written by June Sciortino for Hap Rochelle Sun casts ever shifting shapes to dance in the spring breeze as it edges toward nightfall and the land of no shadows |
I think of you touching me
even innocently
and crimson heat fires my loins.
Side by side, hands linked,
my eyes boast to all who see.
the long loneliness of age
so thankful for her love.
short yet joyous days.
Conversing,
his eyes searched the room
till he found her.
till he found her.
Sensing his glance,
hers sought his.
Eyes locked, that secret,
private smile.

I wish more than life
to sleep naked
next to you once more
our bodies enlaced
|
Dark red lips
Sweet as wine
Share exotic
Treasures
Taste forbidden
Pleasures
In the reaches
Of your mind
The bitter taste
of solitude
dwells in the mind
Fear an old age
of loneliness
stretching out
ahead
Unwelcome tears
for
unknown fears
I dreamt of a wind
blowing autumn leaves
scattered on the ground
like my tears,
loosed
as I watched you,
cold as a winter day,
turn
and walk away

Gargoyle
Eyes look but
do not see.
Ears listen,
yet are deaf.
Wings folded,
and useless.
Crouched high on
Crouched high on
the building
watching
waiting
silent.
silent.
Beloved
Dear
Beloved
Immortal prize
Takes the breath
Feel the heartbeat rise
The pleasure slows
As reality fixes
Love ebbs
Grief
Lonely
Lonely,
in a sea of friends,
wishing for you
and youth.
Praying for time,
seeing only
the end of time.
Bitterness almost
overwhelms.
Hearts
Your waist fits
perfectly
in my arms.
Our bodies match.
I feel most at home
when we're
intertwined.
Our hearts seem
to beat in tune.
Breath
I felt your breath on my cheek
Smiling, I turned to see
your lovely face,
realized it was
just a breeze,
realized it was
just a breeze,
and you are
far away.
Goodbye
Nothing matters
since you said
goodbye.
Heaven seemed
short lived.
Purgatory
a blessed
relief.
Hell is
forever,
or so it
seems.
Fear
Forlorn
Forgotten
Lost in a
forest of fears,
she struggles
against forces
seemingly
insurmountable
and emerges
triumphant
into the sunlight.
Scorn
She looked at me scornfully
I felt small and angry
The feeling dwells in my soul
Any happiness, she stole
How we treat others is key.
Arguing
Why does she not agree
We argue and fight
Through half the night
And then we make up with glee!
Seaside
Sun kissed shores
Boat shipped oars
Moonlit seas
Salty breeze
Drunken tar
Staggers from bar
Sailors curse
Catch cutpurse.

Forest
Walking thru
A leafless forest
Lit by a silver moon
Quiet but for
The rustle of my
Feet in fallen leaves.
Time vanishes
As my spirits lift.

Bogeyman
When the lights go out at night
When noises cause a fright
The closet door ajar
From the bed I bolt, and bar
That door, fly back to bed
Ere dead.
The Night
Wow! The night flew by!
It's too late for me to walk
If I go outside I'll fry
And everyone would gawk.
Gargoyles and Hedges
From high above
the recessed alcove
the carved creature
eyed the feature
of the hedges down below.
You close your eyes
I kiss each one
Your cheeks want fun
From my butterflies
The longer I live
the less I know
but I have learned to
expect less
and give more
I'm much happier now.
Echoes
I hear the echo of my life
in the dark recesses of my mind
full of love and yes, of strife
I allow no regrets, even when inclined.
Smart
Say something smart
and people will flock to you
they may dislike
but they'll fawn.
Say something stupid
as we often do
your friends will
love you anyway!
Heaven
You touch my face,
My heart beats faster.
And then I find
You're in my arms.
My fingers roam
Over silken skin.
Over silken skin.
Heaven waits
Touch
I wait
wait
wait
For your fingers
Touch lingers
Agony
The Dark
Holding back the light
The dark hides the scars
Eager to prowl the night
Gathering in the stars
Blackness my birthright.
The Tout
Where's the tout?
You know, he's stout.
Looks like a trout.
The one with gout.
And the bulbous snout.
Eating the sprout.
He's such a lout.
Throughout!
