fourteen on the fourteenth
by robert kraft

14 poems inspired by my wife
for february fourteenth nineteen hundred ninety nine
copyright 1999 robert kraft

author's note: i made accompanying paintings to these poems, but those
are reserved for my wife's eyes...  enjoy the words

i. woman

at home is my world
where i return in need
of your arms
where the nights are long
bliss is our song
where we work together
not against
where we care for ours
and each other
where we learn something new
every day every moment
where we share the day's deeds
we watch the sun kiss the shimmering edge
of our world
together


ii. eyes

two green orbs had pierced me
their rays had parched so tenderly
killed so sweetly
i perish now without their love
i crawl to them desperately

unwavering in heat
unrelenting in strength
unforgiving in hardness
unassailable in beauty
untouchable in softness
how can i reach them
or will they reach to me
i call to them earnestly
Love! Love!

a glance!
from them a brief glance!
like none other
i know
the sun shrivels up and hides
in envy of its twin rivals
the moon curtsies deeply
making way for the truest beauty of heaven
the stars sing soft praise
and would cease to exist could they but choose to do so

soft harmony teases my ears
quiet breeze singes my skin
sweet nectar fills my mouth
fragrant aroma courses my lungs
tidal wave flows through my life current
i wait again forever for another glance


iii. voice

aural autumn arouses
balance belies boldness
clear converse
dirty discant dares
ephemeral efforts ease
few fetters
gentle gasps
high hopes hold happiness
insistent inquiries invite
jubilantly jumpy
kind knell knows
laughing liquid lights life
mellifluous magic mischievously makes merry
nocturnal nuance nudges nearer
outspoken optimist
personal poetry pines pleads pleases pleases pleases
quick quoting quiver
raunchy rosy
soft sound soothes sensuous song sends skywards
tender teases
unique utterances
vigorous voice
winsome words
x-rated xclamations
youthful yells
zesty zesty!


iv. life of my love

early evening
a clean breeze cools through the window
a divine diva soars through Rondine
laughter talk fills the sunset light

sizzling on the stove
oil onions olives
lemons brighten the counter
cilantro sweetens the saucy scent

as we cook together
i hug you from behind
a feeling of warmth
a touch of life

you uncork an S.V. pinot noir
from ninety-three
in remembrance of a special night
and prediction of another

our food is sublime
succulent is understated
sumptuous perhaps approaches
no word is necessary

more than you know
plays now slow
first simple bass
then swings coolly like no other

you invite me to dance
how can i decline
we are not dressed for ballroom
but it matters not

our living room spins
your hair brushes my hand
my hand brushes your hair
we laugh carefree

we kiss deeply
our dance is short
the song ends too soon much too soon
but other pleasures beckon

a shower perhaps
satiny steam
wondrous warmth
we talk all night

the water cools
i step out gingerly
prepare your emerald towel
watch you through the distorted glass

the soft sound of submerged strings
caresses our ears
you recognize the music
just you and me and strings

we settle into flannel
slowly explore each other
a nibble here
a taste there

adventure takes me
you play coy when i try
relax!
strip the shackles from you senses!
think only of ourselves

the first wave then subsides
a crystal soprano pierces the calm
a beauty beyond the sea's horizon
a sorrow beyond the ocean's depth

a gentle touch to your breast
a sweet caress on my back
tingles mingle with the waves
you send down me

the last phrase is wrenching haunting
devastatingly i gaze into your eyes
to be so lucky!
even the music bows to their exquisite splendor

strings pull taut
swell anxiety builds
we are one voice
one life
one love

pale moonlight illuminates long limbs
your arm stretches across my chest
a gentle word reaches your ear
a gentle touch teases your hair

eyes locked on mine
we see our future
denude your dreams to me
speak your secrets

the fears of years lie heavily on my breast
but easily i can rest
knowing i face them not alone
but with you
my love


v. legs

legs that tease me now
legs that show me how
legs that bend so nicely
legs that drive me crazy
legs that know to tread
legs that drop me dead
legs that don't say maybe
legs that wrap around me
legs that hear my hark
legs that excite their mark
legs that walk with swing
legs that raise my thing(!)
legs that walk in skirts
legs so gorgeous it hurts
legs that burn my eyes
wow! those beautiful thighs
legs that distract my poem (growl)
legs i oh so definitely know'em (howl)


vi. girl

wearing no pants only dresses
hopping happily making messes
combing soft golden tresses
a small flower she caresses
running around in playful esses
talking brightly she addresses
hiding easily where no one guesses
kind innocence she possesses


vii. tease

tease touch avoid reach run chase giggle roar feign frighten hide find
tickle laugh hard more

stop relax arise follow remove rapt drop stare pickup drool wiggle
growl look look display fair

turn turn caress nibble pull push lay dive let linger languid ask
answer try timid arrive

release munch breathe deep moan two gasp three enough strip smile
sheath invite enter slow we

wet go rhythm rhythm rhythm change oh yes wild watch scream release
shake weak dizzy mess

good great clean clean bed music soft gleam i love you hug cuddle talk
sleep dream


viii. it's the small things

phone messages
packed lunches
tile board exclamations
chalk board proclamations
public munches
two-eyed winks
shoe store by the door
never less always more
you got surprises
you got secrets
babs bites
even our fights
some of your skirts
story mammoths
your caresses
delicate dresses
little coughs around the house
your book collection
finishing your food
melting my mood
bedtime
mealtime
playtime
feel time
how our touches change
how our kisses vary
how our passions range
how we decided to marry

but that last one was not a small thing


ix. good thing

good thing i have two eyes
or i wouldn't be able
to be amazed by your flawless bosom
each time

good thing i have two hands
or i wouldn't be able
to caress both beautiful handfuls
at the same time

good thing i have two nostrils
or i wouldn't be able
to partake of the sweet perfume you dapple there
sometimes

good thing i have two lips
or i wouldn't be able
to savor your sugary succulent buds
one at a time

good thing i have to be with you forever
or i wouldn't be able
to enjoy the perfection
every time


x. lady

my goddess!
i stop to see you
the sight i've seen before
yet it is new
every time
i pale by your side
the softness of your dress am i privileged to feel
in the radiance of your hair am i allowed to bask
your gentle tender hand am i permitted to clasp
in my own?
the food the best
the wine makes you warm 
the night makes us hot
but that heat
that heat is a cold winter's night
when compared against
my love for you
my goddess!


xi. skin

melted marble soft
warm creamy steam
hot ice smooth

diamond reflex pale
ring filigree complex
tanzanite spark beautiful

like none other:
appealing


xii. the world could have ended

as we sat still in the night garden
i was engulfed by her aura
swimming her warmth
breathing her sweetness
in a dream we talked
watched the heavens
a stillness only undiscovered love can create was our stage
absolute silence everything
except our thread
the city lost around us all time stopped
there was nothing to hear us
nothing for us to hear
except our hearts beating in gentle harmony
hearts racing against the quietude of the darkness
silent eyes perhaps watched 
waited in the night
we drew close pulled by unseen force of desire
even the most perfect of loves have their humors
indeed as we neared our lips brushed for but a moment
Oh! what a moment
i was startled enough to speak
shh... there is no one here
alas love pauses for no fears
our lips joined
i tasted the purity of those rubies
the first time
what seemed to last forever
i might have been suspended in a satiny cloud
the world could have ended right then


xiii. hair

a gold river lies long and glistening
the sunlight reflects easily
and wishes everything it touched were so pure
a fluid feverish to observe
entirely one yet singular in detail
it sways as an autumn arbor
glints like gay waves
glances like gracious eyes
prances like palfrey
hints like shy hi's
hides and appears
while flowing ever
framing perfect face
beautiful face
her face


xiv. paradise of imagination

it is difficult at best
and dangerous at worst
to imagine what i'd be without you

to not hear your calming counsel
to not ask your generous opinion
to not be able to speak openly
and bare my soul to you
indeed to You, my purest reflection
'twould be the end of me

how often do i expose my weaknesses
hate my passions
despise my dreams
loath my loves
only to have you comfort the terrible thoughts within
and allow me to be my fullest?

if you were not my life
i'd know not where to turn when inspiration left me
know not how to go on when frustration set in
know not where to look when failure hid something from me

whenever the straw i draw is the smallest
whenever the pressure is beyond breaking
whenever the hand dealt me is unplayable
i think of you and i can easily overcome
anything

behind this man is a great woman
and behind you, great woman, is your man
always there for you
faithful open willing inspired touched tough and tender 
appreciating you and loving you like nothing else in this world

i love you
