LONGING by Kami

Lightness fills me
His arms embrace me
Passion flows smoothly
His kisses come softly
Touches to melt me
A body to enthral me
He holds me, and knows not what he does
My heart races
Mind spinning
There is none other, but him
A friend
A man
A soul
Yet he,...is not mine

A DAY OF LOVE by Kath aka Phantom Lass.

Walking toward me in the morning sun
With his laughing eyes I come undone
My lover goes down on one knee
Proposing his love to me

Laying me down in the golden afternoon
On a bed of heather
Arms around each other
Pledging our love forever

Lighting candles at dusk
We love again
Our bodies burning with lust
Whispering those words of passion a must

Smiling with the midnight moon
The loving is finally through
We are resting, sleeping, dreaming too!

The morning star will shine
Remembering and Reflecting
A day of love that was his and mine

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK OF SCOTLAND
by Lisa W.

White and blue , Purple hue, they make me think of Scotland

Bagpipes and hills, glens and Irn Bru,
The Thistle, Haggis and Whisky too

The kilt and the tartan, hogmanay, oats,
The lion, Saint Andrew and of course, raincoats.

The west highland terrier, the Cairn and the Scotty dog,
The salmon, the Aberdeen Angus, and watch out for the Midges, around the peat bogs.

Loch Lomond, Loch Ness, Glasgow, Inverness,
Edinburgh, Stirling and John 'O Groats.

Scotland, beautiful Scotland, the land of Celtic Mystery,
Of brave, strong, courageous people, who have helped change the course of history.

But to hear the voice of my fellow country man, wherever it might be,
Reminds of my homeland, and that it will always be waiting for me

UNTITLED by Terra.

Bring me to your mouth and set me on fire
Let me be your cigarette
Your thick fingers wrap around me and
I calm your sweet addiction
Passionate smoky thoughts curl around your head
Inhaling and exhaling. My warm love for you finds salvation
I leave a piece of myself behind every time we connect
No other can calm your shakes.

I NEVER LEFT YOUR SIDE by Rachel Lovern.

Did you see it? Aspirated from my mouth, a new soul
Tantalized and free! Feel the air through her energy
Flying high, so high in the vacuum of the sky.
My finger tips, barely visible, brush away albino cotton
Resting in the reservoir of a suspended ocean of blue.

Did you see me? Smiling in your dreams, holding your
Head as you rested gently in cognitive bliss.
You followed the freckle of a dream as it bloomed
Into a dynasty of overwhelming satisfaction.
I was at your side. I never left your side.

Did you hear it? The children laughing, our future
Bridling such devastating fate and terrifying hope!
I was compelled to stop it. Now I know I must allow it.
Look away and pray about it.

Did you feel it? The earth convulsing, the cosmos repulsing
As the sun shines on us once more.
And you, by my side with me at yours
As we awake from a clairvoyant rhapsody.
