To bind the mind
And tame the flame
To yearn and burn
For pleasure pain

To lust in trust
And sire the fire
To wake and ache
With spent desire

Shades of light
Phases of moon
Rays of night
Rhythms of tune

Circles with edges
Levels with ledges
Thresholds still lure
Curiosities endure

Pressure-fired
In molten crust
Diamonds hide
Within the dust

We see the gem
But only when
We strip away
The hardened clay

To catch the light
Of inner assets
Behold the sight
Of myriad facets

Icarus: Favourite Love Poems

This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together love poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology traces love’s agony (“Broken Dreams”) and ecstasy (“Galaxies Cart-Wheeling”), from first blush (“Almost Strangers”) to full bloom (“Say ‘I Do!’”), as we fly to love. You’ve given me the gift of golden wings / The endless sphere of blue imaginings / The chance to rise above the silver clouds / The will to cast off untold ghostly shrouds / Don’t fly too high / Don’t rise too fast / Don’t tease the sky / Don’t taunt the past / You’ve given me the hope of warmer days / The blessed kiss of the sun’s fiery rays. Buy the paper book / Buy the e-book.

As you lie by my side
With your head on my chest
Our legs intertwined
My hand on your breast
The touch of your fingers
The smile on your face
The world is at peace
Everything’s in its place

As the candlelight flickers
Our senses caressed
The music enfolds us
Safe snug in our nest
The cares of the world
Fade away without trace
We are cradled by love
In the soft arms of grace

It starts
Like bad indigestion
Churning knots inside my gut
Burning my heart
Clawing

It spreads
Like a creeping cancer
Eating away at my sanity
Crippling my love
Malignant

It crescendos
Like an exploding storm
Unleashing thunderbolts of anger
Flooding with resentment
Destructive

It fades
Like a spent firework
Spitting sparks of sadness
Smoking with regrets
Exhausted

My Christmas wish came true last night
When she appeared – oh what a sight!
In scarlet gown with edge of snow
And in her hair, a crimson bow
With lingerie of festive red
And playful antlers on her head
With brown doe eyes and luring smile
My heart stopped beating for a while
For she was beauty in all her trappings
Then – oh my God – she removed the wrappings!
Words can’t express my childish delight
When my Christmas wish came true last night

You are my little hunny-bear
The one I love, my only care
So cute and cuddly, and sexy too
My heart belongs to none but you

I love your hunny-bear laugh and smile
Your hunny-bear looks and style
I love the hunny-bear stories you tell
And your hunny-bear bod has me under a spell

You are my little hunny-bear
I cherish each moment that we share
So sweet and sassy, so deliciously hot
I’ll always be your hunny-pot

The sands of time have trickled by
The clouds have shifted in the sky
The sea’s between, the earth as well
Strange how Life has weaved her spell

Yet in moments sacred, before inner eyes
Time and Space shed their disguise
And sparks unite to form a flame
Kindred spirits of another plane

You hear the news, the dice is cast
Nature’s cruel sentence passed
What hope there was just seems to fade
The matter’s closed, the choices made

It’s like the walls are caving in
Your heartbeat aches, your feelings spin
You want to cry, you want to shout
You want to help, you’ve been shut out

Where’s the justice? Who’s to blame?
Why does it have to end this way?
Let me speak, this is my cue
Let me in, I love him too!

And feeling hopeless, we stand by
We see your pain, your head’s held high
We know in time that you’ll pull through
‘Til then, remember: we love you

Though I have tried, in song, word and rhyme
I just couldn’t capture in the space of a line
How much I love you, how much I care
How when I need you, always you’re there
How the freedom you’ve given is the freedom I need
How you’ve allowed me to grow, having sown the seeds
How you give of yourself and don’t count the cost
How the love that’s been gained will never be lost
And never can I harness in the space of one day
All that I feel and all I could say
So you must consider each day of the year
As a celebration of love by the ones you hold dear

There is a mystery which is you
A mystery which is me
And a mystery which is you and me.
They are not mysteries to solve
But rather to learn from –
To learn joy and understanding and love

Only love –
It’s all that matters, all that binds
All that fulfils, all that finds
It’s all that holds, all that contains
All that is, all that remains
– Only love
