The peaceful autumn breeze,
Barely noticed…
Weaves, between the unsuspecting leaves:
An artful assassin,
Creating a masterpiece.
Its victims, drifting calmly
Bright and vibrant.
Rebelling, against their inevitable end:
The hope inside them,

Pulsating

Blood into their veins.

           s                                                                
As the grass opens its arms,                                       
Accepting.
Whispering, the final words of wisdom.
The only one, who notices,
Who cares?

As they wither slowly,
It reminds me of a pain.
Only momentarily forgotten.
Each fallen leaf,
A tiny piece of us.
And inside…
Somewhere,
A wish.
That smoldering inside our souls,
Is a power so great:
They could merge together forever.
And baby, it will happen,
I promise.
In the peaceful autumn,
When the crimson leaves blow…




…Back on to their withered branches.

No problem Sometimes I am jealous of my younger self because I could just sit down and bang out a piece in like 2 minutes, and it seemed so easy, now for some reason not so much.

Thanks, and yeah being comfortable in silence is definitely an important thing for two people together.

Yeah this is one of my favourites because originally when i wrote it, it didn't have all the bold formatting and such, and when I looked over it later I noticed I could easily tweak it to have a sort of double layer effect, and I really like the way it turned out

Why thank you Ainjel

Don't worry about it this is from a long time ago, I was just sifting through 10 years of stuff and plucking it out, pretty sure I was only 16 or 17 when I wrote that one

Thank you very much

Thanks so much everyone, I feel like there is a really strong poetry community here. I have looked other places, and none seem to compare. Who would have guessed I would find it on a dating site

I really had to correct my formatting on this because the place I had it stored had a different tag system, which had line break tags. Anyways there is no preview option so I will just pray it works. If it does the bold words can be read from top to bottom for another layer. got it to work after 4 edits :P

Painted stars


Silence  never comforts me so much,
As when it comes  through the phone.
Too afraid   to say anything,
To start   the silent storm,
Of tears and somber  emotions
That come from two hearts , sewn together
With a thread, so  strong, it must be love
And when they  are torn apart,
It doesn't rip at the seam
And they drift  away.
Ignoring  the large pieces,
That still stick together laying tangled on the  floor
Painting a crimson sunset  so beautiful,
Wishing  for the summer stars,
So we can hold each other once  again.
But this sun won't set
The stars aren't coming this time  are they?
You  said they aren't coming ever.
Will you come  back,
Come back and help me paint the stars?

damnit I'm going to have to completely reformat my poem because of no break tag oh well

blah blah [br] llalala

that's a beautiful twist at the end love it

Simple, elegant and direct I like it.

Thanks I have a bunch of stuff lying around, maybe I will get to digging through it and posting some more

Wandering
Something...missing
Searching with a spirit
Carefree
As a child running towards an ice cream truck
Looking for the simple beauty
Lost and found
Inside anything
Oblivious
To all else
Too naive to know
All the weight and pain in the world
Can rest on the few frayed strings
Of an old bracelet

Snap

Thanks Leigh, I spent about an hour reading through the thread and really appreciated that you would try and start something like this up and keep it going for so long... I have been writing poetry for 10 years now, and I just love that you have this "steamy" poetry community thing going on. Unfortunately those were pretty much my two steamy poems.... I guess I will have to start writing again sometime soon

Well I tried to blaze through all the formatting, hope I didn't mess it up anyways here it is



The Perfect Silence


I see you waiting,
In the distance.
nervous,
(I can tell by the way)
Your lower lip
(The right side)
held lightly between your teeth.

I glide silently,
Unnoticed
Weaving through an unseen crowd,
my eyes firmly fixed
Upon your ***(ets)
My arms
Like steel covered in satin
Swoop
Around your waste
From behind
And lock
As my teeth simultaneously
Sink
Very lightly-(at first)
Into soft flesh
Beside your neck

Turn
Suddenly
Your hands
Digging into my back
Pull each other
Tightly
Our bodies compressed
As if we were trying
To merge
With welcoming embrace

Slight movement
In your throat
Lips begin to part
My index finger
Quickly intersects
Before any words can form
Slides down
Slightly damp
From the traces
Of sweet saliva

Understanding radiates
From deep inside
Your eyes
Your mouth tightly traps
My lone digit
Like constrictions of a snake

Reluctantly
Our vice grip is broken
But not our stare
The air
Full of tension
(The same kind of tension-
in the left leg of my jeans)

The walk is long
Or so it would seem
Constantly distracted
By quivering lips
Which would then
Inevitably
Come together, a timeless moment

I pointed at my house in the distance
Then with a smile
You ran like a cheetah
hard as you possibly could
I waited for a time
Before my legs
Outstretched like the wingspan of an eagle
And I flew
Flew past you effortlessly
And waited
Panting
By the door

We retreat inside
Our hearts already thundering
the door swings
And even before
It clicks back into place
We are on each other
Like wildfire in a dynamite factory

A swath of clothes
Trace an erratic path
To my bed
Like lines on a pirates map
As I work my way
Down towards the treasure box
Worth just as much
But gold would never taste nearly as sweet

Your moans
like an angelic choir
Except without the innocence
Then without notice
I find myself knocked flat
And finally we do merge

You pull me up
So close
It feels like our souls
Could set the air ablaze
I stare deeply
In your eyes and see such raw power
It doesn’t surprise me
When I am inside of you
We are no longer mortal
Oh no
We become each others gods
Of passion and lust

Some say silence is cold
And deafening
But silence is like water-
It exists in many states
In our case: steam
Our bodies covered
In the condensation
So slippery

Your skin tastes salty/sweet
nearly impossible
To take my mouth
Off your body-long enough to breathe
You start to shake
Like the tremor of an earthquake
Unable to control anything
Until you
Come (yet again)
Back to your senses

We wait outside the door now
Our time
Had passed
An eternity not nearly long enough
You give me one last exchange of passion
Through our lips
And then turn away

As you slowly walk
I can’t help
But break the perfect silence
To say those three small words
That mean so much, maybe too much
"Please, just stay."
You turn and smile
Give me a simple wink and a wave
And continue on your way
I know you don’t mean goodbye
Only "I'll see you again."

Hah well patience is a virtue, and this one is much longer than the last one, plus I will have to make sure all the formatting is right. So I'm afraid you may have to bathe in sexual tension for a few more minutes, but isn't that really a good thing anyways?

Ha, thank you very much. I have another one, but first I need to know if there is some kind of html or bcode on this board for bold, italics ect... it has a specific format, and I would need to know how to do that

Tight as Innocence

Your iris flutters like a monarch wing
My teeth slowly scraping
Letting go,
Of your lower lip.

Burning brighter,
My desire for tongues...
Tracing hips
And lovers grips,
Tight as innocence.

Your breath in my ear
Teasing,
Taunting me to bliss
Is all I need
To thrive.
