Sometimes imagination is my only friend
Mind over matter, there’s no strings
With a leap of faith, interpretation speaks quietly
Without an audience, reality is but an illusion
...

The small of a womans back
Sacred ground, desire
It beckons, quietly inviting
...

How is it, that beauty can silence a poet?
When I first saw you, I was speechless
I denied my reaction. I pretended...
...

My best friend
My lover
My soul-mate
...

I was awakened by your scent
It is a scent that consumes me
It is on my fingers...my lips...in my hair
It is ingrained in my skin
...

It happens in an instant
There’s barely time to react
It’s like a bolt of lightning
Rolling thunder, sunlight
...

Looking into your eyes
I have a passage
I can see your heart
I can feel your soul
...

What secret treasure is hidden between your columns?
That place where your feminine passion is calling me
That place where our bodies become one
Where power collides with tenderness
...

You kissed me
I surrendered
It was involuntary
The seed was planted
...

Love and romance
Emotions, they soar
Time stands still
Like a frozen fire
...

When I sleep
I dream of your kiss

I imagine your body against mine
...

The most beautiful scent I can imagine is you
L'odeur la plus belle que je peux imaginer vous est.

I breathe the scent of your body
...

When I see you
I’m calm
I’m breathless
I’m tranquil
...

Looking into your eyes
I blushed, I turned away
I thought I had invaded your privacy
As though I was inside your body
...

Here at the ocean, safely inside, views that conspire
Salt in the air, shadows that lie, in the dark of the night
She was love, without kindness, trying to escape sunset
Sands moving time, the tide retreats, platinum foam
...

Innocent innuendo
Illusion turns to reality
Clay oven, fire, heat
The kiss, passion erupts
...

Sometimes I close my eyes and smile
I try to imagine what you will look like
I try to imagine how it will feel to hold you
With my eyes closed, I see your smile
...

The fragrance of a flower
Like the fragrance of a woman
Is a declaration of fertility
The poetry of seduction
...

Imagine if you can
The fruits of time
Unconditional trust
...

I wait
Patiently
Faith is my ally
Hope is my friend
...
