She Lion

snarl

I am She Lion
I am proud
to scream my needs out loud.
As others cower in fear,
my perfect mate is near.
No submissive,
I shall strut,
my tail in the air.

Single minded
I seek the best
I will settle
for nothing less.
Though others court
they’re left behind,
the strongest male
I will find.

He’ll act as king
but, power is mine
to rule the pride.
For me the choicest food.
Of offspring, I’ll bear the most.
I’ll hunt and defend
cubs and females
to the end.

Lioness in Heat

I heard her
from a ways off,
the distinctive mewl
of a lioness in heat.
I licked my paws.
She’ll find me.

She found me,
paraded around
with her tail in the air,
leaving her scent
on the breeze.

I was interested,
but didn’t show it.
She began licking me
I licked her back —
we licked a lot.

She crouched,
belly to the ground,
tail to one side.
I bit her neck
then mounted.

This continued
for five exhausting days.
Eventually, she wandered off.
Perhaps, we’ll meet again,
or not.

Surf

We walk
through the surf
my hand holding yours.
We see diamonds
brighter than the stars
of the night sky.
We see porpoises
mating.

Can there be
anything more special,
more precious,
than shells in the sunlight?
We’ve found paradise
here on earth
where neither of us
had previously
visited.

Dream

I awake
to find myself
crouching on a beach
I have never before seen.
Water laps at my toes.
My fingers pick at empty shells,
all kinds and colors.
Thoughts are empty
as the shells.
The horizon is infinite
with barely distinction
between sky and water.
I feel suspended
between the two —
lost.

Appearing
close beside me
is a moving shadow.
I see the silhouette
of a woman.
Blazing sunrise blinds me
to anything else.
Beside me she squats,
silently picks
at shells.
We do not speak.
She takes my hand
and leads me to
our dream.

Disappeared

savemedown

 

as the sun
played with the leaves
in the cool afternoon breeze
i heard your giggle
saw your smiling spirit face
peeking from behind
a clump of trees.

disappointed,
because i hadn’t
the freedom to follow you,
i sighed and waited for nightfall.
as the jealous moon
stole through my window
a devil in a flannel gown
visited my bed.

we snuggled
throughout the night.
my mouth nuzzled your neck.
your skin tasted
of our favorite perfume,
wood smoke and cedar.
i murmured words of love
as I held you tight.
you disappeared
with the dawn’s
early light.

Silk Ropes

BDSM, bondage, domination, masochism, pain, punishment, sex games, spanked, submission, tied, whipped

bondage

black silk ropes
tied to bedposts
secure her white wrists
and ankles.

Voluntarily
under his control
she wants, needs
to be dominated,
spanked, whipped
by the one man
to whom
she will submit.

Dryad

dryad6

A young deer
wandered into view.
I drifted off
in gentle slumber.

I felt a pair
of tender hands
coverer my eyes.
I heard a giggle.

I hesitantly
touched her hand.
She revealed herself,
and met my gaze.

This apparition,
with angelic face,
bent and placed
her lips on mine.

I was transformed
and with the dryad
flew to the most
magical place.
