A year ago

A year ago
- we shared a romance
A year ago
- I lay by your side
A year ago
- our embrace was tight
A year ago
- I held you in my arms
A year ago
- we made love
A year ago
- I treasured your scent
A year ago
- we shared a shower
A year ago
- I could feel your touch
A year ago
- our laughter mingled
A year ago
- I could hear your voice
A year ago
- we walked down the stairs
A year ago
- I gazed into your eyes
A year ago
- we kissed good bye
A year ago
- I saw you walk out the door
A year ago
- you drove away not looking back
A year ago
- was the last time I saw you
A year ago
- I felt an ache begin
A year ago
- my tears ran silently down my cheek

Today
- the ache still burns.

Waves crashing

Waves crashing over the wide distant ocean, moving forward
pushed by wild winds, no force strong enough
to stop them, they create their own perfect world
where sea and sky meet is a haze, elements meeting
in a blaze of fire, imposing the rising clouds loom
high over water brought to boiling in bright reds
whirling patterns created by strong currents, almost
recognizable, but lost to the gaze, symbolic this storm brews
unhindered, covering the sea with promises of future
or showing the past still remembered, such is the world
and what is in it, memories of past living now and
forever storms rage without any hesitation not giving up
hope and change as promised that day, the storm is on fire.

Two paintings

Finally found time to do a few paintings today. It's been quite a while since I've had the chance to relax and paint. This was a little treat and break for me after spending all morning working on the design for a logo.

Butterfly on blue

Finally finished this one. The background have been done for a while. I had to wait for the paint to dry enough for me to paint the butterfly on it. I'm not sure I'm quite satisfied with the intensity of the reds/oranges and I might try to brighten it later when the paint has dried again.

Reds

I had red paint left over from the butterfly and did this small painting. I quite like the colours on it, warm and intense. Time will show if I'll leave it as it is or add another element to it in contrasting colours. It took me just half an hour to paint, easy little thing to do for relaxation.

Divine torture

Silently hanging
Waiting
Steps, sounds, sensations
Thrills

Pause, what happens
Squirming, twisting
Cold, heat, burning

So strong, need it, now!
Please give it
Please

Soft begging
Denial
Not now, not yet

Feathery touches
Freezing ice
Burning lips
Divine torture, exquisite

Intake, a breath
Shock, surprise, helpless

Heat, burning intensely
Ah, now, please?

Perhaps...

A package

On its way across the wide ocean
Bringing with it tokens of my love
Carefully packed and protected dear
Will finally arrive to settle in your hands

Symbols of love chosen with a smile
Created by my hand your life it will adorn
Delicious tastes of foreign countries
A melange depicting the nuances of trust

To you with devotions I send this package
Cherish the presents contained within
For they are but a small part of myself
Given to you with my love undying in full
