Swoop by Gem

Swoop

Gliding on a upward draft
Wing out streached
Glinting eye

The world out streached
Soring high
Pray in eye

Her body sleek
Swooping deep
Death by eye

Virtues by Gemma

Virtues


Kneeling on the ground
her hands together
her mouth muttering silent words
her eyes closed

A single tear
she kneels in silence
blessed by a golden light
protected in her virtues

The daemons circle her
a gnashing of teeth
claws ready to snatch
sniffing the air

she keeps the faith
she holds on
repeating her promises
reciting her mantra

They try different tricks
weaving dark thoughts
sowing seeds of doughty
untrusting feelings

The light is strong
she smiles hearing the truth
she stands and starts to walk
salvation is near

she walks into the light
saved by her virtue
not letting them pull her down
smiling and walking

she looks back and whispers
"keep smiling don't let them get you"
and then she is gone
Freedom

7 Deadly Sins by Gem

7 Sins


An evening of sin
Seven fun treats
Eyes full of lust
Lips of desire

He puts down the plate
A banquet for his queen
Gorging themselves
The fine things money can buy

He tells tales of business
Successful takeovers
Empires gained
Capital growing

Food consumed
They flop onto the bed
Reclining in satin sheets
Not moving just digesting

The phone ring disturbing their sleep
Her voice talking in whispers
He suspects another
His blood begins to boil

She returns and he snaps
The yelling so loud the walls shake
"WHAT IS HIS NAME? TELL ME!"
"You whore get out"

The night is over
The seven complete
A night of fun

Memories by Gem

Sitting in an old chair by the window
Her hair white as winter snow
She gazes out for hours
Watching plays in her mind

They run and dance
Laugh and sing
They kiss and dream
Planning and living their lifes

She smiles at the two young people
So full of life so happy
Watching their severy moment
The good times and the bad

The memories of him and her
So sweet, so much love
She will be with im soon
Untill then the play keeps him alive

Ocean by Gem

Ocean

Floating on an ocean of dreams
one hand dipped in the waves
one foot caressing the water

Drifting though memories
eyes closed
mouth slightly open

Thoughts swirling in my mind
If only
Wishes

The waves lapping at my mind
washing me clean
new beginnings

I step from the waves
fresh, clean
a re birth

Leaving the water muddy with memories
my pail skin shimmering in the moon light
peace at last

Harmony by Gem

Harmony

The wind blows
breath in
breath out

A tree sways
breath in
breath out

A bird sings
breath in
breath out

Breathing with nature
relaxing
breath in

Feeling calm
peace
breath out

A piano note
sound
breath in

A single word
smile
breath out

Be at one with the world
Harmony
Breath in

Breath out

Rhythm by Gem

His fingers run up & down
The ivory & black
Caressing each finger with a silken touch

His breath slows
His heartbeat quickens
His fingers tapping out a rhythm

Massaging each note of the melody
Bringing it to climax
Silence!

He falls back
Breathing Dee
A charismatic smile playing on his lips

New by Gem Hornton

New

A spark
A pop
A thrust
A squeeze
A pant
A scream
A mown
A grown
A push
A breath
A wail
A new life

Dream by Gem

Dreaming of Together

Standing in her red ball gown,
She watches the others,
Like delicate flowers they move and swirling,
As though they were connected to each other,
The hate and anger builds,
She remembers the love they had,
The pain and passion they had,
The memories of how they moved together,
Swirling, twisting.
-
The music telling them were to go,
But now she is there alone,
The music is so sweet and tender,
The flowers move to it, swaying,
She stands in the corner alone,
The door opens!
-
A dark, shadowed figure floats towards her,
Moving together under the stars,
The music tells them what to do,
Together, Swirling, flowing together,
As though one creature, together,
The flowers part as the rose enters,
Twisted and entwined in each other,
A rose among a garden of flowers,
She has him back!
-
Forever! Together! Under the moon and stars,
Their love will never end,
She hopes this night will stay forever,
She prays time will stop,
As she knows when the music ends,
She will be alone again,
In the corner,
A rose without a garden,
-
It ends and she is alone,
And only left with memories,
Memories of long ago,
Memories of love and passion,
Memories of together
