embrace your duality
Your savage uniqueness
the eternal tension
you hold within...
 
as if two people
two sides in tension
An ebb and flow
of who you are...
 
both feminine
and the warrior
a part of you
under the same skin...
 
embrace who you are
in every moment
The world is brighter
because you live...

your duality #Poetry #face #images #Ukraine #beauty #love #resolve #war #service #sacrifice #dress #model #kydrava_

deep and vulnerable, honest,
feminine and fierce
serving your country
but holding onto your dreams...
 
beautiful within,
drinking words of your poets,
clinging to humanity 
and Ukraine's black soil...
 
you are in the vanguard 
the best of your people
feminine and fierce,
as the cameras see you,
from each different angle...

In words our love has risen #Poetry #God #face #beauty #soul #romance #wife #husband #lovemaking

From great distance we have spoken

Our love has been kindled,
In words our love has risen,
Across language and miles...
 
My love for you was instant
The connection so intense
Called by the spirit
In my soul, in my heart...
 
I love you for who you are
Your spirit I know so well
I will love you to my dying breath
And in heaven above...
 
I long to hold you, to speak
Words without sounds,
To live beside you, my wife,
Forever, eternally, Amen.

Feeling you in your dream

Turning to touch, to enter you,
Smelling your waters rising,
In a dream ready to explode…
 
Drawn to your waters,
Your fountain of my delight,
Dipping my tongue inside you,
As the river flows of love…
 
Like a kitten to a bowl of warm cream,
Waking you from your passion,
Your dream is a reality together,
As we join in ecstasy…

You are my undiscovered country,
the missing piece of myself,
my hope in the darkness,
When all around me is lost...
 
You are my homeland,
the place where I find rest
like iron sharpening iron
You are muse to my words...
 
I long, I yearn, to explore you,
to walk with you as in a verdant forest
to love you, to hold you, to cherish you
Forever, above all else...
 
You are my guide star,
the home I come home to
my hope, primal, urgent,
For without you I am lost...
 
I long to hold you,
to look into your eyes,
to tell you face-to-face,
What I have tried to say...
 
You are my undiscovered country,
not to conquer but like our own Eden
the garden of my heart
Where I long to dwell...

Treasure in its simplicity – v2 #Ukraine #leaf #Autumn #winter #EricaKabeava #TarasShevchenko #poetry #beauty

Revealing its true colors,
Treasure in its simplicity,
golden color held in her hands,
normalcy of the change of seasons,
simple moments of reflection,
ignoring the chaos all around,
the war, the continuing storm…
 
One leaf gathered up from the field,
held, cupped in worn, tired hands,
treasure in its simplicity, purity,
a beautiful messenger, a whisper,
a harbinger of autumn, a prayer,
a foretaste of the coming winter
the cold soon to come…
 
Like the wheat, the sunflowers,
the colors of this nation,
held so loosely, gently,
normalcy in simplicity,
yellow below a fall-azure sky,
emblematic of Ukraine,
their nation, seeking peace…

fire of passion burning – v2

love, fire captured, frozen,
in the variegated rose petals,
urgency of now, wanting,
your look and your touch…
 
fire of passion burning
in the flesh of the roses,
ignited in bright colors,
a delicate bouquet…
 
rich red, oranges and yellows,
crimsons and subtle textures,
rising with our passions,
our dreams come to life…
 
fire of passion burning,
feathered cups of perfection,
lovingly being revealed,
within every bloom…

A living rainforest – v2

A gift of the Creator,
my eyes open to wonder
to the magic of this moment,
to stop, to lean in
to see more clearly,
treasure in the little…
drawn to beauty,
that surrounds us all…
 
Down on my knees
drawn by vibrant color
a living rainforest
down below the tops
of the wheat stalks
of the grasses…
verdant green calling,
putting on my glasses…
 
Living chartreuse,
shimmering in the sunlight,
the new grass of spring,
now towering over me,
almost iridescent, alive,
drawing me inward,
to live, to explore, richly,
in this precious moment…

I am alive again, reborn, healing,
for your heart beats within me,
my life is becoming brighter,
with every breath, each step…
 
Oh, how I long for you, my darling,
my lover and my wife,
how I long to hold you,
in our love’s caress…
 
How I long to gaze at you naked,
to be with you out in the world,
to be your husband, your partner,
to be ever by your side…
 
Oh, you make me so happy,
more than words can express,
my spirit, my heart is smiling,
without speaking a word, my love…

Richly blessed – v2

In you, my love, I am richly blessed,
for you have changed my life,
God has gifted me magic, hope,
for you to be my lover, my wife…
 
My every breath is shared with you,
every word connected to our love,
my every hope is in our union, our bond,
every dream tied to your happiness…
 
Just a whisper of my promises to you,
from my loving heart to yours,
loving you more with each breath,
with ever word I share with you,
with every time you say you do…
 
I feel so woven with you, intertwined,
how much you have restored my heart,
giving me courage, new life, hope,
to pursue my calling, my dreams…
 
Lost without you, out in the world,
found in the arms of your love, my love,
finding healing in God’s holy word,
in you I am richly blessed…

I roll over beside you – v2

I roll over beside you, sweetheart,
after you bring me to climax, release,
my face flush with love, passion,
for the joy that I have…
 
I reach for you again,
my lover, my wife,
my tongue finds yours,
behind our locked lips...
 
My fingers slide between your lips,
Reaching for your on button,
wanting to make sure
you have your turn,
 
Just the right pressure, the rhythm,
our bodies moving together, my love,
touching you until you moan,
until release, until you cum...

I am alive again

I am alive again, reborn,
for your heart beats within me,
my life becoming brighter,
with every breath, each step…
 
Oh, how I long you, my darling,
my lover and my wife,
how I long to hold you,
in our love’s caress…
 
How I long to gaze at you naked,
to be with you in the world,
to be your husband, your partner,
to be by your side…
 
Oh, you make me so happy,
more than words can express,
my spirit, my heart is smiling,
without speaking a word…

Richly blessed

In you I am richly blessed,
for you have changed my life,
God has gifted me magic
for you to be my lover, my wife…
 
My every breath will be shared with you,
every word connected to our love,
my every hope is in our union,
every dream tied to your happiness…
 
Just a whisper of my promises to you,
from my loving heart to yours,
loving you more with each breath,
with every time you say you do…
 
I feel so woven with you, intertwined,
how much you have restored my heart,
giving me courage, new life,
to pursue my calling, my dreams…
 
Lost without you, out in the world,
found in the arms of your love,
finding healing in God’s holy word,
in you I am richly blessed…

oh, how I long to see all of you – v2

oh, how I long to see all of you,

your nakedness as close as breath,
how I long to touch you, to hold you,
in our love’s sweet caress…
 
oh, how I long to whisper, sweetheart,
to proclaim my love for you out loud,
no longer separated by distance,
the crucible of this difficult now…
 
oh, how I long to love you,
every day of my life, forever,
how I long to hold you, closely,
my love, my hope, my wife…

I roll over beside you

I roll over beside you

after you brought me to climax,

my face flush with love,

I reach for you again,

my lover, my wife,

my tongue finds yours,

behind our locked lips...

My fingers slide between your lips,

finding your on button, 

making sure, your turn,

just the right pressure,

the rhythm, my love,

harder, faster, until,

you moan, until you cum...

Sliding between your glistening, wet fingers – v3

So often we talk of love, of our connection,

our bodies reacting, sharing intimacy,
we fantasize about being together,
even when we are apart, teasing,
sharing pictures, desire, longing,
I sometimes tell you it is okay,
to touch yourself, as I would,
to bring yourself to release…
 
Silently, coming around the corner,
seeing you on our bed, naked,
playing, moaning softly...
desire rising, moving,
flowing through my body,
an erection growing, stronger,
moving to your side, now I am above you…
 
My throbbing, swollen member,
seeking your fruit, your flesh, your essence,
sliding between your glistening, wet fingers,
clitoris exposed, engorged, inflamed,
falling into your arms, your womanhood,
living fount of my dreams...
 
Your tongue and mine dance,
bubbles shared between us,
my fingers twirling on your button
as we rise and fall together,
a rhythm we know so well…
 
I breathe your panting breath,
I hear your heart beating with me,
staring into your dark eyes deeply,
as together we explode in release...
 
Falling down beside you, happy,
smiling in my spirit, my body,
at peace, beside the one I love…
