The Thread Formerly Known as the 6T Thread

[cascadiabound]

And now it seems to have come to you
the one holding everything together
making jello, making calls
fever no doubt racks your sleep
vitality erased - for now
these are the times
i ache
to be there
to make the jello
drop off supplies
leaving a note of prayer
encouragement and love
rest darling, rest
do all the things you know to do
It will be a lost week or two
will my worry for you
impart even a little
health and healing?
helpless in the face of this
tiny potent viral plague
I hold you close in my heart

 

[29wordsforsnow]

happy little dust particles
dance and swirl
in the sunlight
circling shades across
the living room
where living time ticks
away, further and further
to the sound of little feet
sneaky-squeaky seeking
a way around the diet plan



of happy little antioxidants
sliced'n'diced
still speak to most
of the common tastes
sweet smiles
and
sour faces
traded for
bitter tears
drying salty

as happy little dust particles
battle to settle
united in this affair
of breathing the same air

 

[cascadiabound]

Sleep darling sleep
a free prescription
to heal your body
Soothe your head
With soft kisses
Drink more tea
Have some jello
Some ginger ale?
Sleep darling sleep
Watching over you

 

[29wordsforsnow]

O-two
rough
a heavy stone
not enough
on your chest
its breathless tone
another cough
through the telephone
"Oh...too?!"

 

[cascadiabound]

Cmere darling let me sooth your soul...
Lemme be sweet to you all day and night
Cuddle close when you want,
Be close when you are too hot to cuddle
Hold your hand
Fingers thru your hair
Whispering sweet love
In your ear
Love you sooooo much
One more year round the sun
May this time next year
Find you full of health and vigor
Love you
Crushing on you
Always in my heart

 

[cascadiabound]

I have been struggling to find a place to put this....
And struggling to figure out exactly why it speaks to me.

Give me kink
Torment me
Adore me
Snuggle me
Make me uncomfortable with affection
Remind me I deserve all that and more
Even if I want to hide behind a safeword

 

[Mrtenant]

Desirous

How long has it been
Since I tasted your desire
Felt its presence
Whelm my senses
It has been so long
Cannot be the same
Breath against my skin
Fingertip caresses
Electricity of your kisses
How long has it been been
Since you pressed against me
Your body aching for me
Hungry for my touch
In a dimly lit space
Behind closed doors
Or with a starry night
How long has it been
Or have you drank your fill
No new pleasures to seek
No new pleasures to discover
The game long past the point
Of wild excitement
Hardcore sensuality and sex
How long has it been
That you'd welcome just one
Long, sweet, kiss, lasts forever,
Consumes and feeds your soul
My soul
Without pity, or regret,
Willful sharing of desire and pleasure
Moaning long into the night
A memory or a dream

 

[cascadiabound]

What if my fantasy
And your revenge
Met some dark night
Or some Saturday
After the lawn is mowed
What if my need
Met your aching desire
And those twisted cravings
Bring me to my knees
Take my breath away
Take me to the pain
Marked by your hand
All while she watches
Helplessly
Wordlessly

It's a party for two
Her ticket lost
Forgotten
Neglected
In the recesses
Of her designer bag

A golden coupon
Now cashed in
By her best friend
Or she who might have been

A revenge fuck fest
Twisted exposure
will we regret this
exhibition
Exhibitionism
Her eyes burn
Like jalapeños
As your kisses
Extract convulsions
Of pleasure
bordering on torment

sweet twisted submission
as she watches
Into tomorrow

 

[Mrtenant]

Tumbleweed

Times change
People change
Winds blow
Ever northward
Withering All
Excepting
Stoutest of hearts
So much to do
And not enough time
For love
And romance
Or passion
Laying neglected
as time marches
Kicking that tumbleweed
Long past chasing
Long past catching
Disappeared
Into a dusky sunset
Leaving only
Unquenched thirst
For you
Musty dusty
Forgotten
Tumbleweed

 

[cascadiabound]

Fireweed

Losing time, making time for you
Year by year day by day
I make time for you
Maybe not enough
Maybe not the right kind
Fire is still in my heart
Purple fields of fireweed
Red and purple dancing in our dreams
Not enough time
reaching for you
my hand grasps air
two ships passing in the dark
Your scent still lingers
Like the heat of your peppers
across the miles

your stout heart anchors me
day by day
your endearments warm me
morning and night
and in between

Fireweed catches my heart
another chance for romance?
time will tell
if we choose to focus
me on you, you on me
is there passion still
now deeply entwined
in a friendship so rare?

No need to chase - I am yours
No need to catch - I am caught
Let's make another date
Take me dancing luv?
Under the stars
whispers of desire
smoldering

negotiate
conversate
I am listening daddy
kisses tempt
and tantalize
maybe it is not a desert
of unquenched thirst

Fireweed thrives
in disturbed soil
C'mere darling
Let's disturb this funk
Dance in the rain
settle the dust
smiling into our kisses
finding a new groove
enriched by respect
deep friendship
and enduring love

it is a great goodness
you
me

She always loved a party
Sitting by the pool
Umbrella drinks
Consumate hostess
She was a stitch
Sorry not sorry
Serious in her way
But she knew what counted
Pennies
Golf balls
A man to rely on
Steady as she goes
And she is gone now
Only one left in her generation
Born on Christmas
Died on Thanksgiving
She always loved a party

 

[Mrtenant]

When the time comes
For me or mine
I will hold my head high
For whatever memory
I leave behind
For every inspiration
That someone needed
Fo that next great thing
The tall tales I leave behind
The legends
The laughter, the tears
The rages and fears
Dark melancholy
And joys of song
That time we climbed the mountain
And swam the ocean
And went to the stars
Remember it all
When you light that candle
Tell of me
To those who come after
And I will live on
In fond memory
Or notoriety
But above all
After my time
Bless my people
See their dreams
The lives they live
Soon touching the river
That meets the sea
Just like me

[cascadiabound]

Silence unbroken
echos in my head
Wind howling outside
chimes chattering

I take a deep breath
Reaching for you
Seeking that resonance
always present
In the shadows of my mind

Deafening silence
Shall the gap be filled
With worry and concern?

Meditate
Ambulate
Voice in my ear
Fingers twirl my locks
Echoes in my footsteps
Ghosts in the machine

Darling, oh my darling
You are forever embraced
In my tender love and care
Be safe
Be well
My beloved

Waiting
In the
Unbroken silence

 

[cascadiabound]

Howling winter wind
Dust swirls where your words should be
Come find shelter luv


*************************************



Grateful my dear friend
The truth between us laid bare
Tender with our hearts

 

[Mrtenant]

At the end of the day
Busy with life and living
More and more to do
To talk about, engage with

A passing glance in the mirror


A shadow whispers softly


Beyond hearing


All but forgotten


Unattended



Was there



Time enough



For




love?

Blessed blueberries
Full of sweetness and delight
Pallette of richness

 

[Mrtenant]

Fuck it all

 

[sirhugs]

Fuck it all

so tired you need a swing
a hammock for a nap
cause you no longer give a crap
that's the thing.

 

[Mrtenant]

Friends and lovers
Kinksters
Soul mates
Sharing in wonders
Of each other
And the world
Living and breathing
Laughing and crying
Fire and fury
Tenderness
Passion
Grief
Comraderie
Vision
Teamwork
Creativity
Appreciation
Disappointment
Trust and honesty
Celebration
Gifts and memories
We found it all
Pleased with ourselves

And then we found
Apathy

And I don't know what I'm doing with it

 

[cascadiabound]

And then we found
A foundational
Friendship

 

[Mrtenant]

Raw edges everywhere
From all directions
Cutting deeply
I will bleed for a day
And then no more

Fierce is the fire
Of my soul
Bathe in it's warmth
Touch the light
Or be burned

Softly do I touch
And dream of you
Strength of my grasp
Alive with power
Taste my fingertips

I have survived
For millennia
I will bend
I will break
I will love again

 

[Mrtenant]

Across the deep waters
Oceans away
Stormy seas
Driving rain
Lightning fills the sky
Thunder rolls
Ship dances
Captain fights
Giant waves threaten
A lighthouse
Far far away
Glimmers
Tiny, merry, and bright
Storm fades
Rain stops
Wind howls
Across the violent ocean
Resolve returns
Knowledge deepens
Remember

 

[sirhugs]

Raw edges everywhere

And dream of you
Strength of my grasp

I will love again

you. like a phoenix, rise
for some lucky brave soul
the ash covered prize

 

[Mrtenant]

In a river of roadway
Crack in the asphalt
Where the daisies grow
Swaying in the wind
Reaching for the sun
Singing for the rain

Creak of old leather
Tread of walking boots
Heavy steel and glass
Rubber on the road
Dazzling chrome
Mechanical monster

Firing up the Beast
Listen to her rumble
Grumble and roar
Red cockpit glare
Sound system active
Smell of gasoline

Asphalt trembles
Exhaust clouds
The Beast is alive
Howling its pleasure
Down the roadway
Into the distance

Vanishing point
Exhaust plumes settle
Smell of gasoline
Crack in the asphalt
Daisies in the wind
Singing for rain
