Okay #DavidsMonthOfMusic peeps

So far there's never been a challenge in November but as the hashtag has grown I didn't want to not have anything this month. So I've come up with something a bit different...

As always I hope you have fun and find/rediscover music you love!
I thought we could try something different this month... Connections! Day 1, pick a song. Any sing. Day 2, pick a song that is connected in some way to the previous day and each day just keep finding links to the song from the day before. You can be as basic or as nerdy as you like! A few ideas for links: Written by the same person. Toured together. Guest artist. On the same soundtrack album. Same producer. A cover version of the previous/next artist. Songs have the same name. Or anything glaringly obvious or deliciously obscure as you can find! Hope you enjoy the challenge and look forward to seeing the unexpected places this journey might take you! I'll be back to our scheduled prompts next month. Have fun and be good to each other.

the swell
and the harbour

delicate words
to conciliate the storm

you ripple
beautifully

build
where the shore was promised

flotsam and jetsam
trinkets of affection

sunset bleeds
into the horizon

foam
at my thighs

as i wade deeper
into you

beyond the wish...
lover of light...

the ache is a lighthouse spilling a pristine beam over water so still waiting to thrash at the softest sigh lover of light breach the surface rising like the promise of whitecapped rapture as the salt of your desire stains my tower the caress of your yearning tide beyond the wish i confided in the depths love me harder before you go erode cliffs of resolve my chest my stomach soaked by your feral waves stir every ocean into frenzy as you come then returns to contented silence surfaces mirroring the skies i wipe away the spume the ache is a lighthouse and the night is darker without you

surely your intolerance can't bring you joy hating everyone and everything that doesn't meet the requirements of acceptable in the constantly narrowing view of you or your herd surely doesn't make you happy understanding each other is such a genuinely beautiful thing why not try it be kinder now while it still matters

measure it
in distance

in breadth
and depth

in fluid ounces
and moments

measure it
in improbability

in quintessence
and purity

in measured silence

in tempo
and patience

measure it
then #measure it again

for it has grown
significantly

because somewhere
you exist

i need
simply need
to discover the taste
of your arousal

i could take the night
to its very brink
never taking my mouth
from your fervour

another scene
from another reverie
but it's always you

it's always
your rapture

do you hear my soul whispers ethereal tendrils of dream-prayer soliloquy the only-you mantras that persist upon my breath i want for you in silence in distance in absence i want for you when you are but a heartbeat away a sigh caresses the gossamer as i write "I love you" between the lines again

pen me
something

a verse replete
with visceral truth

for my eyes only
for my heart only

something secret
something sacred

a thing of grace
and gravity

if i make you feel anything
make me feel everything

please
make it so all i think of
is all you dream

hands held
we collide (with serendipitous intent) fated (in clandestine language) by the stars (sweet sweet conspiracy) hands held (in delicate defiance) for comfort (in the turmoil of consequence) and fruition (of relentless reveries) no simple act (not with you) no triviality (not with you) no insincerity (not for you) no doubt (never with you) a kiss (forehead) a kiss (eyelids) a kiss (lips) a kiss (parted lips) a kiss (neck/throat) a kiss (chest) a kiss (heart) a kiss (lower) a kiss (deeper) a kiss (lingering) sacred (rapturous) only for you (my consummate muse)

just as gravity
has its law

your allure
is as irrefutable to me

pulled

drawn

powerless
against the undeniable force

matter to matter

hearts to hearts

the proximity of particles

the closeness of you

we kick our way through
a bed of leaves
like children

the day was as idyllic as I had believed

your soul as warm as I had dreamed

and as the golden sun falls
into the whisper and hush of autumn

the day is not over

and your lips are as soft as I dared hope

your
lips
and tongue form
the sentiment

our surreptitious
language
that only knows
sincerity

my touch
could never lie
to your skin

and yes
our words bind us deliciously
to one intent

but in the silence
between the softer sighs
our love
screams loudest

you whisper sweet everythings each syllable thunderclaps its gravity into my resonance shivers stills deeper now the cadence of your candour resides fingernails press against skin passion compelled by word and act your lips so close to my ear the fever of proximity your breath a zephyr on my skin the allure of declaration and demand and yes i need you too and yes i want to feel it harder too and yes i'll tell you when too and yes i love you too and yes i love you and in the bliss of wordlessness spent beautiful ruins in empyreal embrace in the fragile moments you whisper again my ribcage fills with contentment my reveries conflagrate into nothing more resplendent that the light i watch flicker in your eyes in the aftermath of our rapture sleep or a kiss disparate oblivions we could scream it darling and it wouldn't matter more the sincerity meets the time i whisper you smile and i am undone

between sunrise
and sunset

every subliminal heartbeat

every instinctive breath

thoughts of you
just as frequent

always close

and then i dream
only dreams
that you imbue

we have a history

fills me
with joy

context
in canon

shared

entwined

i love
that there's an us
