Okay #DavidsMonthofMusic peeps, here's the brand new shiny hot off the press challenges for October. As usual I really hope you have lots of fun with these and maybe discover/rediscover some songs you love!

Be inspired. Be good to each other. Enjoy!

dew-wet gossamer spectrums

iridescent #beetle shell

smooth pale planes
beneath the bark

the audacity of wildflowers

beautiful
beautiful you

give me ink
i need to stain the world with verse

grace me with a glance
in less calm colours
and i'll make them all yearn too

should the reverie descend
and the fervour
rise up to meet you

should you lower yourself
into the chaos of bliss
of those dream waters

please
darling
take me down with you

the naughty one...

#wildwickedwords

that dream...

the naughty one

where at the start
some words
we're too abashed to speak

but come the climax
they spill from our lips
irrepressibly

confession

demand

pledge

that dream...

where we embrace each other

in the act
and the aftermath
as though nothing
could ever be held dearer

careful knots...

#Amatory
@amatoryq.bsky.social

simmering heat
bound
in careful knots

tender
delicate
intimacies

kisses fall
like teasing silk

in searing silent sincerity
lips press devotion
to anticipating skin

a simple touch
an elaborate caress

raise your hips
meet my mouth
let's steal each other's breath

share with me
this sacred act
i adore you
as deeply
as i want to
make love to you

each motion
more exquisite
when it matters more

infatuation:
the deluxe version

with all the trimmings

this is you
and i am famished

#pennedreveries

a cuirass lays rusting
in a field
when an old me died

i never had a warrior's will

most of the scars by heart bears
are self inflicted

occasionally run through
by blades of apathy

yet
your grace disarms me
further still

i am set again
against the demons
but this time enveloped
by the light you bathe me in

Slow exhales...
Touch to remember...
Shadows unfold...

#Amatory
@amatoryq.bsky.social

i watched
your luminosity

i watched
the shadows unfold

i felt
the night close around us

i felt
the searing heat of your need

reveries
i wish i could touch to remember

reveries
of slow exhales and contented sighs

let me undo you
unlaced and unbuttoned

let me undo you
with kiss and caress

i want
to embrace your wild rapture

i want
you so much

the collision of echo
and response

synchronicity
imbued in the yearning

darling

ditto

just so you know

it's always there

that undertone
like a low bass-line

a resonance
that your blood knows
that your heart feels

coded
like our verse

deciphered
through instinct

not-so-subtle sentiment

distant thunder

the sky shifts in quiet symphony

it knows i love you
