"A woodland path in the dappled sun, hushed and quiet "
At last you’ve come for me, my love, my sweet!
You’ve come through tranquil woodland, with the breeze,
along that path where once we used to meet
and with the sunlight streaming through the trees!
With passion in your eyes and wings for feet,
you’ve come for me, and all my anguish flees.
You are so near, I hear your wild heart beat.
You’ve come for me, my own wild heart to seize.
Alas! The woods have vanished with the gleam
of my waking dawn. It was but a dream.

love,
Romance is in bloom when it's new and sweet
like rose buds opening. Love is growing!
The flutter feeling each time that you meet;
the kisses and the knowing you are glowing!
The realizing that you feel complete
and your heart with joy is overflowing.
Nothing else could be more worth living for.
Oh, to keep it going forevermore!

beauty, holiday, i miss you, love, passion, vacation, valentines day,
It's near midnight, whilst we moonlight walk
Palm tree lined fairway, Crickets singing
Hands clenched in loving vacationed talk
Hearts in wanting pound, Batangas is bringing
We, she and I, now amidst our intending lock
Serenity is the scene blessed by lunar watch
So late, but joyous we, soon our lips are speaking
Clouds now hover as we witness natures rain
Our apartment is distant, we welcome given
Through broken lunar light, stroking her mane
My hands in taken then, sensuously they're driven
Kiss me quiet is whispered, hearts now in reign
Walking, slowly walking, absorbing to us this night
Hearts in touching pound, Batangas has brought

beautiful, love,
The moon gave silent shadows to our form
As we lay beneath its splayed softer light
The time spent is instinctual and warm
As mist from the lake engulfs us from sight
The depth of suspended droplets transform
And roll across us in sheltered delight
To be covered by moisture's misty air
Leaves a mystery,no trace of us there

Welcome in the Fall of life Spring enters
Loves emptied heart replenished with his touch
I become his Muse and he is my center
Lips burning passion captured in his clutch
Shared breath nothing compares to this splendor
Two bodies align in time they are flush
Worn hearts beating young with exhilaration
Once again falling into loves temptation

Ottava rima
by Paul Callus |
Categories:
love,
She walks barefooted in a slit swing dress
on verdant grass; her hair a blaze of gold.
Light wind is teasing with a sweet caress
I look in envy, yet my tongue I hold
lurking in shadows, yearning to profess
my deep emotions, but I am not bold.
Her perfume hits me, wafting through the air.
Of my existence she is unaware.

spring,
Spring's arrived at last, she wears her green dress
as I go rambling on lush verdant hills
This season's so special I will confess
I pick some beautiful gold daffodils
their xanthic colour relieves any stress
after depressing days of winter chills
Fluffy newborn lambs gambol in the fields
I love the rebirth that spring always yields

loveme,
All wrapped up like a newborn perfect and new
I look at you with a blank slate, I'm in love
Is there anything that I can give you
Please handle me with the softest kid gloves.
When I start to unwrap and you can see
My imperfections like the moon lit with love
Do not run, do not hide, just sing out loud
Then reach out to consume me and hold proud

dream, love,
Sitting here thinking this warm night in June;
dreaming of moments spent talking with you.
Fitting my thoughts ‘round the beams of the moon,
streaming from heaven through night’s navy blue.
Knitting together the notes of a tune;
scheming forever your heart to ensue.
Billions of stars that are shining above;
millions of reasons to fall in your love.

god, hope, love,
Amazing, His grace falls across my soul
Lifting me up, stirring such perfect light
Assuring me of One who will console
Breathing hope into me so I’m alright
He silences all doubt so I feel whole
Yearning for love that will always requite
Listen to His whisper – gentle peace
This wonder of pure love will never cease

THE WINNOWING
Wake of harvest, came time for winnowing
Separation loosing chaff from the grain
Bake of bread that gave them a bestowing
Creation: body nurture that they’d fain
Make in life, a time for spirit growing
Valuation of virtues not to strain
Then we might cherish food for soul above
When we winnow, retain the grain of love

feelings, kiss, longing, marriage, meaningful, passion, relationship,
His kiss whispers with blood pulsing anxiously
The eagerness of his mouth tastes honey sweet
His lips have me clutching him frantically
Within dim light, his eyes and my own eyes meet
Slow, soft passion has me yearning happily
In his hands, my heart feels the marvel of heat
Where he goes is surely where I need to be
Nothing can stop the feeling this brings to me

spiritual,
Simply by allowing life to carry us,
essence of presence vibrates with love and light.
As ego recedes, fears no longer nonplus
and we’re drenched in bliss mists, by day and by night,
content in time stretched peace, aboard God’s love bus.
Heightened delight accompanied by clear sight,
ignites nodes within, that the false falls away,
whereupon we see soul’s light, as clear as day.

self, spiritual,
How may we describe the fragrance of our soul,
which dwells within this earth vessel we adorn,
as we shape shift, hoping one day to feel whole,
noticing that we are with each breath reborn,
whilst enacting playfully, our ordained role,
nonchalant in tempests of both praise and scorn?
Transcending opposites, we’ve reclaimed soul’s light,
with love drenched heart pulsating with bliss delight.

fantasy, romance, time,
If I could travel back in time I would
Return to the great age of chivalry
To meet Sir Lancelot and Robin Hood
In Merry Old England is where I'd be
I would raise my sword for all that is good
And kiss the hand of my fair lady
To scale the castle wall with the moon above
Just to spend a night in the arms of my love

love, sweet,
The day began with stress, coffee and sex,
Hot sweat was running down my face and back;
Today, our wedding day and we are wrecks.
He gives me some sweet chocolate to snack,
Our love is endless, I tell the kleenex.
My dress is tight, sweating, panic attack!
He gives to me donuts, a big dipper,
But sweet, this love, today and forever.

Light shines, maybe it emits from the tree
It casts a purple hue throughout its field
There are light violet highlights that I see
I will always be one to view its yield
Anyone who walks on by would be free
To see its power by the light it wields
Love the glow that emanates from inside
Mighty is this tree, inspiring all sides

cry, life, lost love,
I see tears that pour down my crying face
Reaching illusions of my life alone
I see the outline of a ghost in space
Transparent and see thru, seems to have grown
My tears just enlighten and fill with grace
It won’t go away, it’s stuck to this zone
Memories flood my senses, hurt creeps in
Ghost is my lost love, buried deep within

beauty, desire, i love you, kiss, love, passion, romance,
Speak to me with kisses, whispers she
Awaiting her towards me, I'm now prowled
Temptress this tigress now visions thee
Naked to bare, touching skins, toweled
Quenched lips adorned in kissing spree
Limbs like ivy never creep amidst love
Such caressing engulfs torso's aplomb
Upon me she resides bodies now thrive
Nails like claws embedded, indent deep
Synchronicity thrown towards thirsts drive
Internally they kiss, so wondrous in seep
Resonating sighs now carved, their strive
Ivy like limbs retire, silenced torso's rest
Speak to me with kisses, whispered she

friendship, me,
What is a friend except a part of me
My friends are love songs I was born to sing
They are gifts who choose to really know me
The ones who I trust with my everything
True friends are the ones who truly can see
What I have inside that I'm meant to bring
They push me so hard and still let me be
The fabric of my life, the weaver weaves
Friends make me better, help me to believe
First attempt at form

Spring in all it's glory is now coming,
with flowers and birds and Easter this year.
New baby birds will be in their nests singing, for all of us to hear with a loud cheer. Many glorious church bells will be ringing, they will be heard by young and old my dear. This year the world needs to find love and peace, without love and peace we will all just cease.

love,
While skimming pebbles on sapphire sea,
You caught my eye with a cheeky smile,
Then later still we set our Pooh sticks free,
We watched them sail away in single file,
No grown up talk as I like you crazy, see,
So what if sometimes we play juvenile,
For soon enough you’ll kiss my waiting lips
And grasp love’s gentle breeze on fingertips.

devotion, love, women,
No mortal has triumphed to conquer your appeal,
From Enkidu's Shamhat to Cain's Aclima it starts
Longing for possessing you was part of the ordeal,
For lust grew unfathomed with the first love darts
Craving carved its roots in men with a hefty zeal,
Until it blurred our nous with the serum of hearts
Till now the journey keeps marching without retreat
If all is summoned, faith to you until the endmost beat!

anxiety, bereavement, betrayal, depression, emo, hurt, suicide,
As I hang from a cord of silken repent
No hesitation for the lives I leave you
Please quarter my faith and unwind this lament
I know not of her love and drown in the truth
We have searched for some solace in time spent
And now in the darkness you have found limbo too
She dances around the gallows as I sway
Singing songs from her demons born from the day.

cute love, proposal,
On bended knee, you gently take my hand;
asking me softly, will I be your wife.
My answer, I hope you will understand
but I am not able to share your life.
I cannot accept your engagement band -
the rejection stabs your heart like a knife
We’re just acting as part of a school play…
perhaps I’ll marry you for real one day!
Real counted as 1 syllable as per soup counter not 2 as per how many syllables
