I Wish...

I wish you could see
the expressions on my face
when I read your words
the smiles they do place

I wish I could feel
the warmth of your embrace
my hand in yours
leading me to a better place

I wish you were near
to wipe away my tears
cradle me in your arms
calm all my fears

I wish I was free
to be who I want to be
to follow my dreams
wherever they may lead

Vanilla

hearts racing
lips kissing
hands caressing
bodies glistening
mouths suckling
tongues licking
climax reaching
barely breathing
voices screaming
upon vanilla scented sheets
two hearts do beat
two souls entwine
til the end of time

I dream'd I lay

(this is a poem by the Scottish poet Robert Burns)

I dream'd I lay where flowers were springing
Gaily in the sunny beam;
List’ning to the wild birds singing,
By a falling crystal stream:
Straight the sky grew black and daring;
Thro’ the woods the whirlwinds rave;
Tress with aged arms were warring,
O’er the swelling drumlie wave.
Such was my life’s deceitful morning,
Such the pleasures I enjoyed:
But lang or noon, loud tempests storming
A’ my flowery bliss destroy’d.
Tho’ fickle fortune has deceiv’d me—
She promis’d fair, and perform’d but ill,
Of mony a joy and hope bereav’d me—
I bear a heart shall support me still.

~ Robert Burns

Ill-fated

Years after we said goodbye
I still think of you and cry

Torn apart by distance
Our love remained persistent

But we didn't stand a chance
Ill-fated was our romance

So many things left unsaid
Wistful thoughts roam through my head

Precious time together gone so fast
From the beginning, we knew it couldn't last

Now only blissful memories we hold
Of love once shared between two souls

Anxiety

it creeps in ever so slowly, silently, without warning

grips its claws around my soul

holds on tight, won't let me go

panic

dread

foreboding

my body begins to tremble

shaking like a single, solitary leaf in a tornado of fear

unable to control it, no choice but to succumb

powerless

debilitating

confusion

existing in a state of darkness, alone

until once again the light seeps in

for as quickly as it came, it disappears just the same

loosens its grip, finally lets me breath

relief floods in like the sun rising after a storm

calm

serene

peaceful

but I know it will be back, ready to strike again

for it creeps in ever so slowly, silently, without warning

Mind, Body & Soul

Your mischievous grin
The warmth in your eyes
The smell of your cologne
The tantalising taste of your sweet kisses
The way you hold me as if you never want to let me go
The way your touch ignites my desire
The feel of your flesh as I rake my nails down your back
The sound of your voice screaming my name
These are the visions that haunt my dreams
So vivid, so cruelly out of reach
The next time we're together, I promise you this
I will devour you whole
Mind. Body. And Soul


(c) SA MacNeil

Here, There, Anywhere

Take me here
Take me there
Take me anywhere
Up against the stairs
Or maybe on that chair
Kitchen counter? Just mind the glassware
Suspended in mid air
That has quite the flare
On the bench in town square
Among the wildflowers laid bare
Hidden away in your lair
From behind, pulling my hair
I can go all night so you better prepare
Here or there
Doesn't matter where
The way your heated gaze ensnares
You can have me everywhere
