CROOKED TREE

Stands alone, within time
Away it's grown
From others closeness
bare from touch
Winds of decay desecrate my trunk
peeling layers, limbs tumble to the ground
shedding naked truths
exposing severed roots, hindering growth
drenched in winters dim
inviting seasons change
to uncover coats of cryptic haze
Pour the gold upon my skin
In return you will see
Florescent leaves that tempt thee eye
shadows of intrigue will dazzle your view
of a once dying tree
that now grows
within you..

Gray Shadows
 

Gray shadows next to my skin
Linger around me
Whispering sin
Invisible tattoo penetrates within
Frightened excitement pounds from a tainted heart
A sword of torture rips through me
I lay upon the cold gray stones
Exposed to the foggy mist
That looms around my olive skin
I glare into the murky waters
That splash beads of liquid steal
Across my captive body
Heat emanates a magical glow
From lips that sigh.
I n a vehement daze
Longing for a fearless partner
To share opulent incident
Torrid fiery intoxicates
Invitation to tempting ventures
In shadows of gray  

AJB* 1998 AprilŠ  

Enter...



Enter the unknown, will you come to me?
Enter my mind, what will you see?
Enter my taste, sweet desire
Enter my being, lustful, yet unspoken

My throbbing heart may scare

Enter my breath, panting waves of thrusting winds
Enter my eyes, hazed with potential fear and secrecy

Master my skin through famished mouth

Enter my senses, devouring feast

Invite sun's warmth and cast upon my curves to heat
fires excelling in the depths of my womanhood

Enter me, making pools of teasing love

Capture my tears as they fall from passions explosion
Detain me, restrain me, encounter me, teach me

And in the hours mounted as one, i will kiss your heart with the rays of a
thousand suns

Tempting you to Enter, yet once again.

Dreaming*


Am I dreaming
When I think of you
am I wrong for
feeling the way I do

The need is so
it scares me to death
stripping the layers
without repent

I am slipping, I know
by each word
and thoughts unheard

Dreaming I call it
as this can't be true
for irrepressible passion
runs through

feelings of such are
known not to me
For this must be
a dream, it must be

Standing alone
yet filled with bliss
Yearning for more
and more, than a kiss

A shadow of heat
lingers over me
taunting me further
wanting to see

A chance meeting
to quench the lust
to come inside
can I trust?

Afraid to awaken
thy wicked tender
to surrender blushful
to a worthy endeavor

A dream I say
it can't be true
felicity climactic
feelings run through

Dreams of more
is what I steal
holding on to let me feel
all of you
in all your ways
swept away

Bodies become one
minds emanate
playful idol
leave me not

to never
change this theme
and never wake
from my dream........

ALONE


In a crowded world, yet not one face in sight
In a faded distance, voices heard through deaf ears
Words flow out, but go unheard
Invisible tears fall to cries from an empty tomb
Out a viewless window I stare
A beautiful bird sits alone
and sings out poetic woes
longing for a soul to know the tune
Flying solo with weighted wings
anticipating the rain to wash the fifth of the day
wishing the wind would fill those empty places


AJB****(c) one of those nights
