Oh to Fly

 

Oh to Fly

~

oh to glide
in buoyed flight
rocket skyward
loop great circles

lift high on mighty thermals
never be earthbound again

not tethered to stone and clay
no slave of gravity today

oh this day to be soaring
swooping diving
banking flying

to be drifting
on the jet streams
all alone

to feel the joy
of total freedom
aloft without trying

to live as one
possessed of feather
and hollow bone

    Perfect Pair

    ~

    a perfect pair
    quite mesmerizing
    a luscious fantasy

    so round and delicate
    firm but soft
    a pleasure just to see

    warm and beckoning
    such succulent centers
    begging for a nibble

    temptingly tender
    so tantalizing
    drool threatens to dribble

    I lick my lips
    my tongue imagines
    each teasing gentle bite

    resistance gone
    they will be mine
    these orbs of pure delight

    I close my eyes
    my heartbeat quickens
    I’ve dreamed of these all night

    my desire’s piqued
    my hunger’s tweaked
    for two poached eggs this breakfast
