Memorial Day Weekend
by bikerbabe
© May 29, 2000
Here I sit as memories of you pass thru my mind.
Oh, I've thought about you now and then but today seem especially hard.
It's been five months since we went our separate ways on that Christmas Day.
How I really miss you so today, Memorial Day, of all days.
I loved you so deeply, in so many ways. I cared for you so much.
I miss the laughs we shared. I miss the special times we shared down by the lake
or just walking along the beach.
I loved you so much; you never really knew -- you were too blind to see. Was it
all a joke for you or did you care for me too.
Although we only knew each other a short time, I fell in love with you.
Was it all just a mind game; I question whether any of it from you was true.
I miss you so much. I miss the sound of your voice. I miss touching your long
strawberry blonde hair, the caressing of your soft skin, the gentle kisses we shared;
just our time together -- I miss it all.
But, I realize we were not meant for each other. I know that.
We were so alike and yet so different. I knew in my heart that this was not meant
to be but it sure did hurt to let you finally go.
I never knew a woman like you, Darleen. I'll always love you. And even though this
is one day that seems emotionally difficult, it's best to let it go.
As with all things, it will pass with time.
Will my heart ever love, ever trust another woman? Right now, I don't know.
Only God knows that answer and if it's meant to happen, it will.

Waiting
by CKing
© July 2000
Made bearable by the thought of you
The anticipation wetted on my lips
The smile in your voice
The desire in your spoken cravings
Tossing and turning
Each last night
Until you return
And fix all of my frustrations
In a flash, feeling your last kiss
The penetration of your finger
My juices aroused by your tongue
The lasting quiver of my body
Beyond your control
Patience is waning
Withdrawals overwhelming
The slow tick-tock of the clocks
While we sigh deep in
Waiting for our together again moment
To even be capable of such desire
Such true longing has shocked me
How much you make me feel you miss me
How I know that in my arms
Soon will be total happiness
Lasting because of
What we’ve already survived
Earned by the process
So intensely felt over the miles
Further now down
Our discovered roads
Just a bit longer our waiting
For forever to begin again and grow
You holding me tight
Just feeling your touch
Soon all will be better
Forever my lust!

Drizzle
by Juliet Moonlight
© May 15, 2000
"is it raining yet?"
"no, it's just fairy dust" i tell her
trustingly "are you sure?"
"yes"
i rise to write before the storm of words blows over
my lover outlined before the window
it's drizzling
lightning turns her black then white
thought she does not move
dance music segues into chatter
more backdrop
she leans out to feel
the rain on her face
i see myself behind her
arms wrapped
one big, one small
like mismatched children
our bodies laced creating
in the middle of their growth
shadows on the glass
she pulls in, dog shaking
releasing the smell
of storm ripped earth
i let down my hair
it's a largely symbolic gesture
not yet shoulder length
still, i can enjoy
the waves that come
after a strict, day-long ponytail

To Keep You Still
by Juliet Moonlight
© August 17, 2000
please baby let me
let me lick my tongue all over your wounds
curling myself around you like a lioness
scraping away the scar tissue
ripping it down to blood and tender skin again
so that you can feel me
with my sandpapery motherly tongue
let me flip you over
with the force
of how bad I want to take care of you
let me hold you down and place a hot brand
on you so that you don't get lost when you wander away
as you are wont to do
let me sink my fangs into you
and seep a sweet poison into your blood
so that you never feel any pain
that you never move and be lured into
things that would hurt you
tie you down
enmesh you in my web
but to save you baby, always
to save you
'cause it makes me weep to see you like this
the helpless sobs that make my body
fall slack
lungs grasping for air
clawing away at my own helplessness
to fix you us my own self
but of the three
if I had to choose
it would be the one I love the most
and so I would bait you like a trap
and hold you
and lose the only thing
I ever prayed for
to keep you still

A Tiny Open Door
by waves
© August 23, 2000
I let you into my life
through a tiny open door,
And you left a light in me shining.
You stood there with an open heart
and waited for me to speak
until I was unafraid, trusting.
I let go of some of life and
fell into your arms.
What a feeling to be free...me
You surround me now with peace
that carries me to places
in me I've never known.
You fill my heart with hope
that life holds miracles
yet to be discovered by love.
My angel, spread your wings
across the miles once again
and hold me close.
And you will feel my heart say thanks
for giving something good in you
to the lonely part of me.

MY PLACE
by waves
© September 12, 2000
In my self there is a place
where windows never close,
where doors swing open against the wind
and a warm light always glows.
There's room for anyone to stay
for a moment or forever.
A gift is everyone who comes
to share a time together.
A tired thinker stopped in once
just for peace of mind.
She took with her the gift of peace
and left her pain behind.
A frightened soul came barging in
one night with a bag of fears.
We emptied the bag and used the cloth
to wipe away her tears.
A desperate mother found her way
to my place, just by chance.
She held out all her troubles
and I took them in my hands.
Come in. Sit down. Be loved.
My light is always on.
A gift is everyone who comes
and everyone who's gone.
