Radies --- That is an absolutely beautiful piece of writing! It conveys such powerful emotion... I'm moved! So sorry you had to go through that experience --- it's all too common, sadly... I hope you'll keep writing, and continue to share your poems with us here!

And Aquaman & Glyndwr... Thank-you so much for your compliments. I tend to be hyper-critical of my own work, so sharing here took some guts --- in fact, I was almost as nervous posting these as posting my pics, which is really saying something! But, just like with the pics, it gets easier to share the poems as I hear your encouraging comments. I'll try to dig out something more to share, when I get a chance.

Sorry for the more negitive aspect to my poetry. I often write about experiences that I've had. This is another one about my best friend Josh.

It's three in the morning,
and he's still not home.
Her heart is braking
because she's alone.

The spirits fill his body quickly,
He feels no sense of responsibility.
His friend's urging makes him party wearily.
Drinking away the night in the city.

A woman can not change his ways.
She mourns to see his mind decline.
His youth has seen such better days.
Times where his future was first in line.

As a friend, a brother without blood,
I tell you the bottle will make you a dud.

Radies, that's another powerful piece, so clearly heartfelt. I was very deeply moved, having had experiences close to that all too many times, experiences that ended very badly. I hope you can tell your friend how you feel about this situation.

Here's something in a more erotic vein. A little longer, and definitely more steamy, than what I've posted here before...

together apart

I close my eyes
legs blissfully
open
to your
imagined
explorations

my fingers sink
into the velvet luxury
of my breasts
my nipples
fleshy gems
in my palms

your hands
in another room
ripple
sizzling waves
over your body

my wrists
skim lightly, hotly
over gentle curves
of waist and hip
fingers trickling
silken shocks over
belly and
mound

your somewhere-else hands
slide downwards too
kindling sparks as
hot coals, prodded,
burst aflame

those hands of yours
grasp burning flesh
their rhythms
pulsing you into
delight

as my fingers
slide deep
deep within

softness envelops
then spasms
lightening drenches
me
in dripping joy

you
though distant
know this
and your molten
pleasure
bursts forth
flooding my
imagined
body

we moan
together
in
unhearing
harmony

Sugarfreecandy,
That was a very good piece. It was very erotic yet beautiful at the same time. I hope to read more of your work soon.

I like 'Together apart' very much. It is so apt for Pixies.

On a lighter note : a limerick entitled "Pixies-place"

There's a place I found on the 'net,
And lots of people I've met,
Some good and some bad
Some clever, some mad
But I've not met a normal one yet!!

I've seen this quaint poem on a few toilet walls:

broken hearted

I've been on holiday and came back to pixies only to be blown away by your poems. They are beautiful, imaginative. You go, girl!! Can't wait to have you post more. I enjoyed libertad - very visual.

Radies - your pieces are powerful, and I can share your feelings.

Nubian - sexy haiku - I didn't even think it could be done.

Glyndwr - do you want to start a new thread for funny poems?

Eyes Fever-like red,
Mall filled with shoppers
Yet she cries alone

The Penis Poem

My nookie days are over,
My pilot light is out,
What used to be my sex appeal,
Is now my water spout.

Time was when, on its own accord,
From my trousers it would spring,
But now I've got a full-time job,
To find the blasted thing.

It used to be embarrassing,
The way it would behave,
For every single morning,
It would stand and watch me shave.

Now as old age approaches,
It sure gives me the blues,
To see it hang its little head,
And watch me tie my shoe .

~I love Nikki~

Slide down a rainbow
Land on a cloud
Reach for a star
And dream out loud.

Fly with an angel
Blowing kisses in the air
Dance with the spirits
And dream without a care.

Play naked with a dreamer
Making love in a tree
Close your eyes to dream
And you may see me.

Softly – Psssst!
She heard the familiar whisper
The young woman looked up.

Again – Psssst
She started to smile
Her eyes beginning to glow.

Teasing – Come on!
She giggled softly
Her gaze turning to the window.

Flirting – Yes, nighttime and it’s snowing
She quickly went to look
Her smile grew wider.

Stimulating – You know you want to
She giggled louder
Her eyes dancing with excitement.

Seducing – It’s time baby, I dare you
She giggled and shed her clothes
Naked she ran laughing out the door.

Urging – Yes keep going, do it
She twirled around, her hands up catching the snow
She ran and laughed, sliding to the ground.

Peaking – That’s it, play, laugh, live
She rolled in the snow, teeth chattering
Then wet and cold she ran laughing back inside.

Triumphant – Feeling better now, aren’t you
She smiled climbing underneath the warm covers
Her eyes closed, she giggled softly.

Pleased – I might want much more
She pulled the covers over her head and giggled
Her body beginning to relax in the warmth.

Warning –Listening to me may prove risky
What fun would I have if I didn’t listen, she whispered
You are the voice of my heart, without you I wouldn’t exist.
