Today I published a second volume of poetry. This one is titled “A Walk With You” and is available on Amazon (link below). The book is available as a paperback or through Kindle.
A Walk With You
I’ve been working on a project recently and finally got it wrapped up this week.
When the Night Calls is a collection of 50 poems I gathered into a booklet and have published on Amazon.
It’s available in paperback and on Kindle.
When the Night Calls
Lay with me
Beneath the stars
Upon a canopy of green
Listen as the wind dances
Through the waving leaves
Take my hand in yours
As we weave the stars
Into our gleaming dreams
Feel the flicker of two hearts
Bursting into flame
Hold me tight
We shall
Surrender tonight
#loveletters
Beauty bound
By her charms
In many ways
A sparkle in her eye
The softness of her thigh
The tenderness of lips
Kissed
High & low
She fires my soul
In so many ways
With a touch
I feel her shudder
Anticipating
Eagerly she lies
Still my
Bound beauty
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
She has my attention
With each breath
Every turn of her head
Every ripple of laughter
Cascading to my ears
She shows her pride
And teaches me
What brave is
In her weakest moments
I stand with her
Eager to affirm
My faith in her
For everything she is
All variety for me
#OurPoetryX
Memories of your touch
Linger in my mind
My lips ache
For kisses
Lost to time
Awash in darkness
Of unending night
Hoping dawn unbinds
My eyes so I can
Take back my sight
Hours slip away
My spirit sliding with them
Wondering if this
Haunting is my
Silent requiem
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
She dances in my heart, wild and free
I watch her from across the sea
Spinning her web around me
I am wistful, it seems
To hold her closely
Clasp her to me
Tenderly
As we
Dream
#9linepoems
#nonet
Feel the wind
Carry life to your soul
As it tickles across your skin
Igniting passion within
Awaking your sight
To the most brilliant light
As the prince of yours dreams
Leans in
Brace your soul
As he nears his goal
You feel your heart race
For his embrace
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
Each night
She dances alone
Wishing on stars
I hold her in my heart
From afar
Wishing I could
Hear the tunes
Filling her ears
But I am destined to be the
Hero of another story
Cold & silent
Escorting through
A moonless night
A lonely figure
Slowly
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Full moon shining
Inspires my dreams
Weaving vision with magic
To seduce my mind
I call the sea
Drawing tides around me
Imbued with power
Opening my soul to
Feel the waves
I step boldly into the depths
Embracing eternity
Melding it with my
Spinning desires
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
I wonder
Is she willing
Knowing how she hurts
Seeing how the water
Has washed over her again
So much was lost
Too much lies bare
Stripped by unrelenting waves
I have known her touch
Know what she is able to do
How she has found strength
I believe in her
#OurPoetryX
#BrknShards
Tease her forward
Relearn the angles
That move her spirit
Around your heart
Listen to the rhythm
Of a long night
Take her slowly to the
Edge of delight
Bathe your desires
In fallen stars
Sparkling to match
The intensity of your
Trembling touch

I love
In shadows
Dancing through memory
Courting dreams
Waiting for an invitation
To tomorrow
Watching through
A gray screen
As hope flickers
My heart leaps
Longing for the flame
The kiss in darkness
Shadow-wreathed
New promises
Under the veil
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
She stands unbowed
Amazing, strong, & free
She controls her world
As is meant to be
Yet in the comfort
Of the night
She lets his touch
Sway her from her feet
She chooses to follow
His guiding force
Never missing a beat
She trusts him
To respect her
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
She teases me
With words & images
Draws out the deepest
Secrets of my mind
My insides melt
In gushing bursts
When she incites my soul
With her wild rhymes
Words taste much better
Rolled from her honeyed pen
So my pen itches
To trace her fresh lines
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
I am anxious
As days become weeks
As light fades away
Then crawls back again
I wait for your smile
Under a starlit sky
Lost in the hours
Believing the why
Knowing your touch
Will bring joy to my life
Our moonlit reunion
Restoring our love
For the next month apart
#fairytalepoets
Everything sparkles
In her kaleidoscope eyes
That’s how I wish to be seen
Dancing colors of starlight
Reflected moonlight
Firelight & candles
Flickering dreams
Of promises & memory
If only my gaze
Showed her anything
Half as beautiful
As she shows
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
You capture my heart
In daily bursts of wonder
You spark my soul
As you embraces the
Nights essence
Your glide through my life
Is liquid motion
Evolving tranquility
Flowing around all you do
Crashing over me
You mark my mind
Indelibly in the
Shape of your words
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
She and I
Dream on together
From across the world
Butterflied lovers
Separated by time & space
Joined at the heart
By the moon
Carried by dreams
To the stars
She sings the words
I write her
I breathe her beauty
With timeless lungs
We shine among the stars
Forever
#fairytalepoets
So many nights
So many memories
All the tender touches
Eager anxious kisses
Moments along the way
Understanding you
Fragments of encounters
Daring to explore
Learning each day
Nothing comes quick
So we slow our breathing
Step outside time to
Feel every inch
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
Lure me to
Your secret sanctum
On wisps of starlight
Chasing dreamlike aromas
Where you spin your poetry
In silken threads
Of ethereal charm
Bind me to you
For your feast
I welcome you dining
I your willing beast
Caught by the beauty
Of your words
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Undaunted by the
Endless ocean
That separates me
From the light of perfection
I breathe in the moonlight
Listen to lapping waves
That whisper your love
To my heart
I close my eyes in peace
For I have found
Where I belong
Here I’ll stay
#loveletters
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Feeling it grow
Deep within
Like a seed of a tornado
Planted inside
It spins up
With each alluring glance
She throws my way
I am in love
Fired up beyond words
Losing control
Of my senses
Dreaming while feeding
On her desire
Broadcast for me
To see
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Memory streaks
Though a shadowed mind
Bits & pieces
Made of light
Fragmented voices
Whisper in silence
Staccato jittering
Past bleeding through present
Absorb it all
Behind your mask
Eyes glint reflecting that
Golden hour
When sense flashed by

Out of shadows
Shapes coalesce
First in fractured forms
That swirl before
My consciousness
But there among
The frayed vortex
Two eyes appear
Raven black
With longing & desire
They grasp at my emotion
Drawing form
From my need
Fixed by my eyes
Drifting toward me

Picture prompt
Wayward nights
Under a waning moon
My mind slipping away
As my feet lead me past
Trailing walls of honeysuckle
Reaching for my feet
I have lost myself
In forgotten forests
Comfortable alone
Lost in thought
Of summer nights
On your arm
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
#BrknShards
I wander in mind
From time to time
Across memories
Lingering in thoughts
That brought me joy
Some stand apart
Mean much more
Yet yours breathes fire
It keeps my soul alive
A nexus of mystical vibes
That binds us forever
Together
Woven heart & mind
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
I feel her heartbeat
In my mind
When the teasing wind
Blows fine
As shadows twirl
Her spirit filters in
Its touch excites my soul
When the veil is thin
I close my eyes
To taste her lips
Her breath upon me
Head to hips
A dream
Alive
Can you feel it?
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Too many nights
Warm under the moon
She moves before him
As his eyes & hands follow
Smiles define their
Shared fantasies
She closes her eyes to sway
Unheard songs
Ring in her ears
He steps behind
To catch her dance
One hand high
One low
She tilts her head away

📷 Unknown
Between baffling bursts
Of frantic scribbling
Stacks of poetry
Offered to the night
Like floral bands of praise
Laid round the brow of
His beloved
She came to him
With steady gaze
And calming touch
She breathed across the noise
The chittering thrum
Of anxious minds
1/2
In my dreams
I search for you
Night after night
Recalling your touch
The delicate roll
Of your tongue
Over every word
I am drawn to
The light in your eyes
Your heart and my soul
Fire on fire
Igniting the night
Two burning stars
Making our dreams
Come true
Come alive
#loveletters
I danced too close to dawn
With heaven in my arms
She left me spinning
Holding moonlight
I looked for the wind
To carry her my love
And noticed only
Streams of light
Fading high above
I blew kisses to the stars
Wishing I could wash away sins
To hold you forever
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
Cloak me in dreams
And let my spirit feed
Among the stars
My soul is weary
And needs to recharge
It needs to dance with eternity
Across the cosmos
Tomorrow holds for me
A date with the future
And I will want to be
Performing at my best
#fairytalepoets
Trace the moonlight
With my eyes
Down your glistening skin
To where it catches your thigh
Edge your silhouette with kisses
Marking familiar paths
Moving, moaning, together
At one with wind and sand
Oceans and waves
As dreams that have
Traveled through darkness
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
Wishing on stars
Is a pleasant pastime
But when I feel you
I feel heat that moves
Beyond the magic
I see dreams that rise
Flights of desire
Taking wing
To lift us out of time
You, darling, are my
Loving muse
Fulfilling inspiration

Hear the howling
Tell yourself
It’s just the wind
But close your windows tight
The spirits are restless tonight
Strange mists follow
The folds of sleepy hollow
Scary tales resound
Of restless ghosts
And haunted ground
But we can latch the shutters
And find a way
1/2
Invested thought
Sweet spark of light
Descended
Brushed my heart
With moonlight
Put your hands in mine
Wake to the
Bristling energy
Erupting in our veins
Raise your face
And look in my eyes
Your lips are mine
Tonight
And every night
Kiss me now
#roomprompt
#BrknShards
#OurPoetryX
Adrift in life
Carried past
Forgotten shores
Where haunting memories lie
Another evening
Passing time
Counting dreams
That slip through fingers
Far too many
Moments to exhale
But none to breathe
And with the rising tide
Lungs burn to purchase
Precious time
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
She sings her song
Against my neck
It’s lyric ballad
Captivating with its
Unforgettable melody
My spirit soars
On rising strains of
Pure emotions
That carry our love to the stars
While on my skin her
Messages linger
Then on her flesh & soul
I score my reply
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
Starry paths
Through a dark forest
Lead all too eager adventurers astray
Chasing fairy dreams
On shadows & wisps of mist
Into a twisted maze
Of loss and confusion
But over all
The moon shines bright
And even in the darkest pockets
Of the night
In time
All is found
#fairytalepoets
Each night I whisper
While you sleep
Calling your name
Silently across the waves
With just a tender thought
I speak to your dreams
Saying words
The day can’t hear
And pray they filter through
To fill your sleeping mind
With radiant images
Of love
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Promises
Made
Beneath the full moon
Emotions
Displayed
Beginning to swoon
Protect
My soul
From the ravaging wind
Tighten
Your grip
Let the fun begin
No urge
To diverge
Make my cunning escape
By tomorrow
This time
I’ll control his bound heart

#Amatory
You wake me to joy
Sweet sensual kisses
We lay here
Exploring
All day long
Time cedes to pleasure
As we banish the day
Crawling over skin & floor
Into the night
Under the moon
Exposed to the universe
In palpable heat
Devour

Dark moods follow
The siren’s call
Amid the fog
True horror lurks
Beware the misty air
The haunting echoes
Of joyless scream
Beware the night hag’s touch
Fear the crippled bony clutches
Grasping at your ebbing spirit
It tears at your soul
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
I feel her
I feel them
Tremors vibrating
Across the ocean waves
Power in cool thought
Sweet golden stares
That shiver my reality
I feel them
Through & through
Dominant instincts
Rippling with need
Stretching out
To her desires
No one needs words
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Silent pause
In preparation
To study the keys
Light & dark
With slow
Midnight sighs
A concert begins
Fingers dance
Delicately teasing into creation
Music whose melody
Never fades
Sweet expressions
Played out in
Movement & touch
Releasing the soul
By fingertip
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
How do I live when
Words deceive
Trust blackens to night
My mind peels slowly apart
Revealing my weakened heart
Shadows blend
My thoughts into whispers
That flow shapeless
Into the stars
My wavering hope
Yearns to catch some light
To align the night
To remember the times
1/2
Waiting
While they shuffle
Back & forth
So many stumbling feet
Fools
Crushing his charm
Buried in plain view
Beneath the bracken
Keep calm
Until they roll away
Then he revisits
Briefly
To retrieve
Her locket
His
Dropped
In their struggle
Wipe the blood
Slip away
Fast
#BrknShards
Lying beside her
Cradled in our dreams
We hold each other’s hearts
Breathing in peace
Lingering on our
Souls connection
A bond formed of ideas
Scratched out in words
Where only she matters
Each gentle breath
She takes will
Carry my heart
Forever with her soul
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
Fiery caresses
Wash over my tender flesh
Sweet tingling sensation
Velvet rain descends
I am caught
Lingering in shadows
Of my mind
Recalling with
Seasonal delight
Soft summer love
Another touch, another time
Golden freedom
My blessed dove
Memories in rhyme

Sailing through twilight
on unsettled seas
chasing the night
and its wisps of reality
Fog shrouded sails
Hang from the mast
An east wind prevails
The horizon lies vast
Yet onward we run
Through greying dreams
Seeking our fun
Between life’s seams

Night speaks to me
I walk into darkness
Welcoming the cool embrace
And in my heart
Vibrating within
I feel the silence
Like wisps of fog
Dancing on the wind
My dreams escape
To mix with starlight
As I think of you
Our desires released

When eyes close
And life fades
All that remains is love
Beauty painted
In my mind
Effortless strokes
Across the canvas
Of my heart
An image of light
Reflected on my soul
That’s where my solace lies
In those peaceful moments
Behind closed eyes
#ourpoetryx
No one told me
How deeply I would feel
When I looked into your eyes
No one could have known
The ache that follows
When you look away
Time has taught me
Trust in your heart
Listen to the universe
Even when it seems unreal
No one can deny now
I was fated to love you
#fairytalepoets
He keeps a box
Of curiosities
For her amusement
He opens it nightly
To her delight
She writhes with pleasure
For his treasures
But goes astray
In the day
Missing the sting
Of his touch
She dares open
Pandora’s Box
Indulging as a world
Comes undone
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Inch by inch
Minutely considering
Her erotic measure
She tenses and groans
At his methodical
Aching touch
Yet each step of his hand
Only stirs greater need
Within her outstretched limbs
His masterful caress
Blending darkness
With her unshielded light
And desire
@Amatoryq
#Amatory
Shadow-clad, behind a changing mask
My timidness resides unseen
I quake at any inquest
Afraid to show myself
Yet hope to be seen
To become whole
In spirit
As in
Mind

Lurid lines
Drawn breathlessly down
Cradling curves
Of sensual measure
A well laid route
From thought
To fluttering heart…
But do not
Blame the pen
For enacting
Passion
Flooding from my soul
I claim the path
It’s ink & detail
The tender reward…

Challenge of dreams
Searching a universe
To find the feast within
She dances there
Seductive in my senses
All through the long night
We feed on unlimited flame
Energy devoured
Easily by shadows
In the darkest moment
She finds my light
Stars are born

Honey flows
Like molten dreams
When he leans close
With his
Golden touch
Her beauty stirs
Along her seams
When he brushes
Her arching skin
Tongue tip
Tracing
Eager trails
Elicits moaning
Confirmation
Nectar freely flows
As he caresses her
His rose

Some feelings
Don’t wash they hit
Like waves unannounced
Full force impact
Emotional slam
Indescribable
Overwhelming
Yet when they do
We drink deep
No escape
Desired
Sweet blissful contact
Powerful persecution
Bound without bracing
Make me
Take me
Inside

When winds change, or currents shift a tad
Our balance teeters in a flash
All thoughts blank as we struggle
To find ourselves again
In that burst of fear
We need our hope
To regain
Balance

Strewn tinsel
Shattered glass
Treasured ornament
Of memories long past
Lies in fragments
Like broken dreams
Yet, behind the tree
Wide-eyed and scared
A furry face peeks free
Looking for love
And reassurance
It’s kitty lives are safe

Eyes closed
Body posed
Feelings tingling
Near release

Brought close

With your purring lips…
Speak my name

Hidden heart
Beating fervently
Reaching for the love it seeks
Standing on the edge
Exposed & pale
She only thinks of unity
As her loins ache to
Remember peace
Warmth of contact
And the blissful limbo
Longing for release
He brings to her
With kisses

Have I sunk in your sight
Or moved beyond
Your notice
Am I alone when
I study you from afar
Is my passion weakened
Or my desire gone
I am unsure of everything
But this
I am
Lost in your depths
To myself
To all time
To your touch
On my heart
Or skin
@A_Raven_Writing
#ravenswriting
Is that the time?
We should be going…
Not yet, love
Something’s come up
That needs attention first
The night is ours
All of it
Stars are just
Opening up in the sky
My hand is brushing against
Your graceful thighs
The time has come that our
Tongues intertwine

#Amatory
His kind eyes
Smile
When she looks his way
It lifts her heart
At the start
Of each day
His kind eyes
Weep
In the quiet
Of the night
Watching her daily
Slip away
His kind eyes
Always
Hold her tight
Reflect her light
Carry her spirit far
To the stars
