sting

raised hands to strike,
to show might to an innocent,
so much power in hands,
you would flinch at sight,
or sound of displeasure,
by any means or measure,
to make your presence,
known or felt cruelness ,
of words or lash of belt,
rearing children,what was
rising was a propensity of
violence,that would haunt he
who has brought it to life,
let sleeping dogs lie, but
dogs don't sleep in our beds
truths come to light, the dog
often bites the hand of the one
that has fed him, misled them
to believe ,you beat them to obey,
searching for unrequited love,and approval ,abuse never goes away, the force from the hand has gone,
pain and the scars linger on.

amber essence

Pools of amber essence,


Deep enough to swim,

Caught inside a view,

Mesmerized within,
When you look beyond,

Windows pierce the soul,
Tell me what you see?
The truth that eyes behold.

temptation

IN THIS WORLD I MUST BE PERFECT, PURE. I MUST REFRAIN FROM ALL THE NASTY, DIRTY THOUGHTS THAT LURK INSIDE ME, LIKE AN UNOPENED COCOON AWAITING BIRTH, A TRANSFORMATION OF SORTS TO THIS VIVID ,ALIVE AND UNINHIBITED CREATURE, YOU HAVE AWAKENED INSIDE OF ME ,SILENTLY SUBMISSIVELY YOU CALLED OUT TO ME ,WITH OUT SAYING A WORD, YOU HAVE SHAKEN ME LOOSE FROM THE HUM DRUM PREDICTABILITY OF MY FALSE SENSE OF NORMALCY. YOU,VE STIRRED ME DEEPLY IN THE HIDDEN DEPTHS OF MY SOUL, YOU HAVE TOUCHED ON ALL THAT IS TABOU, I FIND MYSELF DISGUSTED BY YOU BUT YET I'M INTRIGUED AND EXPOSED. MY SENSES HAVE BEEN HEIGHTEND , I FEEL YOU ALTHOUGH I'VE NEVER TOUCHED YOU ,I TASTE YOU ONLY IN THE WAY THAT I AM LONGING FOR WHAT IS NOT KNOWN . YOU CALL OUT TO ME, YOU COME FOR ME, BUT I WONT GO I AM AFRAID OF WHAT I MIGHT BECOME. v.holmes

A lovers journey

Baby your now in the circumference of my love zone, limitless mass, infinite boundaries, vast and wide as the skies, as thick as my thighs around you, nestled under my breast maternal are your thoughts, comfortable as you lay here within my love as natural as the day that you were born, skin to skin your in a realm where you can be free, with me as I melt into you, and you glisten as juices from a ripe vine flow, a taste tester's paradise ,slow , wine , erogenous zones heightened, sighs, moans as I look to a star lit sky to ask why does your love have this affect on me, I'm now in the valley of your love so deep, I have been to the mountain's peak, as i rest my head on your chest, I see god in every part of you covered from head to feet in the midst of clymatic lovemaking, feeling so good my heart is aching, because I couldnt fathom the thought of ever not wanting to feel exactly how I feel right now, real, loved and fulfilled, baby how do you love me ? he replied let me count the ways, from your fingertips to your wide ass hips, crown of your head to the bottom of you feet, MY BIG BEAUTIFUL QUEEN , I love every inch of your body every roll, you are my heart and soul, as we basked in a lover's afterglow, now intertwined in the love we both share, I have a smile on my face because I'm blessed to be here with you, I peek at you as you drift off to sleep, In the circumference of your love I am at peace.v.holmes

REFLECTION

Reflections of a lost soul bounce off the mirrors in my mind,
Help wanted i'm trying to find what was lost so long ago,
What caused a warm heart to grow cold, Innocence that hung in
the balance of somewhere in between never never land and an
incessant bad dream,Trying hard to find comfort on a dark night,
When the coming of dawn illuminates troubles by daylight, In silence
I pray in thought on bended knee, Wavering of faith crashing inside
like a torrent sea, But my faith was not withstanding , I searched
for the proverbial mustard seed, Lost soul peering through a looking
glass at an image that is fading fast, In hopes of catching a true
glance at the person that i've become, My head is hung in shame all the
while eyes closed hiding like a child, I won't allow myself to look for
I'm afraid of what i might see, In anger I hurl the mirror now, it's
shattered chards of glass all around,I see reflections of a lost
soul little pieces of me broken on the ground. v.holmes

something about you

semi-awake I look at your face lying there next to me looking heavenly
When I was sleeping I had most beautiful dream , I invisioned living
my life with you,Both of us trying to make wishes and goals come true,
I felt warm inside like a child trying to hide his first crush, With warmed
cheeks embarassed by the thought , I blush i'm feeling little pretty
butterflies flying wild inside, Your the reason i soar high, While
your lying there not even aware of the wonderful things you do, There is
something about your quiet calm way that conveys peace to my mind, Not
stress or strife you bring sublimation and purpose to my life,Just laying
in our bed looking in your face takes me to an alternate world,Another place
caught in that moment for an eternity,The alarm clock starts to ring,The sound
brings me back to the present such a cursed thing,Rather than leave you there in
bed i'll bring you with me in thoughts instead,I lean over and kiss you lightly
as not to wake you from your slumber deep, I showered and dressed and was ready
to depart, I bid you fairwell as I walk out of the door, I'm thinking to myself
now he's truly something to come home for.

THE LAST DANCE

THE LAST DANCE
THE LAST DANCE

I dance in a flicker of a flame as candles burn ,I longed for your return to me,

countless times I called out your name to heavens for the stars to return you ,

I was baptized in a pool of tears as they left dry traces of their remains

tears left stains on my face as I wept a well of water that would outpour any sea

known to man, I sang a song of sweet misery of a love that has not returned to

me,my sad melody. I am a lady in waiting , wanting and longing,for my beloved,

yet I dance in the flicker of flames burnt by love. I'll die this night by the

candles light,I find no warmth in the candles glow, I pray for a wind to snuff

out the flame, The smell of smoke and my soul would remain. v.holmes
