Tsani Jones Poems

It was the taste
Of salt water on those
Soft pillow lips that reminded
Him of making love to her on the beach...
...

You can never utter the lines

Never speak the stanzas I
So desperately want to hear...
...

I dare you.
Tell me the earth does not
Spin on an axis of our love.
...

Hold tightly, love softly,
Kiss me with flames-
For when the bough breaks
It won't be gentle.
...

If I had a kiss
For every time
I hungrily gazed at your lips
Time would never end.
...

The heart's prey begs
To be consumed...
...

Her spirit walks among
The stones and skulls
As a love
Burns in effigy.
...

I am the monk of her love,
Praying the prayers no others
Can hear,
Feeling the solace no others
...

My Love! My Direction!
Call my name, gently,
As the breeze kisses the trees,
And I will flow softly,
...

Melt down, my darling, melt...
Let the love from your jewelled heart
Flow like a river, down,
To the stream where I,
