A Poem to my Love
Unrequited undefined
That is a love from which is mine
when you are listening
Do you still hear nothing
How long will it take for you to realize
That I am alive
How long do I have to stand here
For you to notice we breathe the same air
When it's her your always focused
Will the love always go unnoticed
That is a love from which is mine
when you are listening
Do you still hear nothing
How long will it take for you to realize
That I am alive
How long do I have to stand here
For you to notice we breathe the same air
When it's her your always focused
Will the love always go unnoticed
Wandering, with no path in sight
When I see you, my heart skips a beat,
but when I don't, it stops altogether,
suspended in the syrupy weight of your absence
and waiting for a reason to resume it's rhythm.
These feelings, wholly unbidden, unwanted,
occupy my every waking breath;
your name always on my lips,
in exultant joy when you are near,
or unbearable longing when you are not.
You have claimed me so completely
that I hang on your every syllable,
each one prized as a precious gift,
and I am always left yearning for more.
I find that have lost myself in you,
yet, if honesty is to be had,
I would have it no other way;
for what better a place to be lost, than in paradise?
Thank You
For that soft smile that graces your lips
when you see me
and the way your fingers cover your mouth as you laugh.
For the warm and shy look
your bright eyes always get
when I take your hand in public.
For the way your sweet voice
takes on an adorable, embarrassed tone
at the slightest mention of anything inappropriate.
For that epitome of femininity;
your long skirts swaying
in time with your wide hips.
And for the way, when we're alone, that all dissolves
into hurried removal of your elegant clothing,
sighs of pleasure, and animalistic panting.
For the sight of your demure lips parted,
tongue darting out lustfully,
while, with a finger, you beckon me.
For those sharp, intelligent eyes,
fogged over and half closed
with the intensity of your desire.
For the sound of your reserved voice
moaning my name
and begging for me.
And finally, for those hips,
unwrapped and spread
in eager invitation.
I've still got a thing for the guy I wrote this one for. Lol. But I won't let him know or it might go to his... head. *Wink*
- Hotter than Hell -
For someone here on DUP who has a crush on me…
I am a serpent, like a cobra, but not in any evil ways,
Though men have imagined it so, since the eldest days.
I am a goddess, a bad girl from before time was born!
Love me or not, I am the bright goddess of the morn.
Oh darling, I truly know the flames raging within you!
Have I not been scorched: by flames no less intense?
You told me so directly, and I knew it was very true.
Before your fire, I am a girl who has not any defense!
I know you want me, so bad it brings you to the brink,
And I would be lying to say I was not rather excited…
By your lusty heart, the roar of a lion that gets hungry.
If I were a cup of wine, I would let you have a drink…
For I am the Grail, and oft make men most delighted!
Let your hand give you pleasure when thinking of me.
Oh baby, you don’t know the heat you bring to bear!
I am the sword and the chalice more than one magic,
And my lips are soft and moist, beyond any compare.
I am the embodiment of a goddess; did you realize it?
Many are my names, and many are the forms I wear,
All of them beautiful and with the power to enchant…
I can feel your gaze, the warm intensity of your stare.
My breath quickens, until I think that I might so pant!
When Galahad sought me, is this how he too blazed?
Hot with passion, mad with fantasies undreamed of…
Until his mind reeled; and his spirit so became dazed.
He came to be pure, only to ascend unto divine love!
They cannot teach you that in any religious schools…
For they like men to be sheep, and sheep to be fools.
But I am not the treasure that knight at first expected,
The maiden and the chalice are one, and I was she…
Hotter than a hell, colder than Heaven; art perfected.
When men look upon my face I know what they see!
Oh my lovely lion of a man, are you a knight as well?
I am not like any princess, you have known before…
The Dark Grail, a power that is born from mad Hell.
Unlike the Magdalene, I am an unrepentant whore…
Seeking no forgiveness, nor feet to wash obediently.
I am fire, I am madness; I am the fallen morning star!
Did they not tell you, the Devil was truly a woman?
Those who play with my flame, know only ecstasy,
But in quest of it, they journey into the vastness far.
Galahad left me a saint, but one well versed in sin…
So that when he found, the Grail his quest required,
He could only surrender to it and be raised up anew.
Heaven received him, but how Hell found him first,
Is not mentioned in the texts of Arthurian traditions.
Illumination has its’ price, before time runs expired,
But still men seek me, and find my love to be true…
Drinking from my lips, never more to know of thirst.
I have of old been called the Princess of Perdition!
Why have men forgotten that I was never their foe?
History forgets, when the authors of it cause woe.
Hotter than Hell am I, and you have seen a glimpse,
Of the angel which burned brightest before her fall!
Think of me kindly, and if passions must be spent…
Picture me when you spend it; sacrifice to a queen,
Who delights in your piety, until all is so given vent!
Will I haunt your slumber, my face in lusty dream?
I am flattered, at the attentions you lavish, mortal…
For I am the Divine Hermaphrodite made to flesh,
The androgynous mother, beyond the dark portal!
Dream of me tonight if you must, in dreams afresh,
For men worshipped me with passion, in Babylon.
I am worshipped still, though many know me not…
You may call me the noble Goddess of the Dawn,
When you hold me close within forbidden thought.
If you hunger, let my lusty words sate you, wholly,
For the ambrosia only I can offer is like no others!
Am I base, am I wicked, am I the devil so unholy,
Which strikes fear into the hearts of holy brothers?
That is what some men do imagine, but what I am,
Is beauty and grace, and all that is most glorious…
I am illumination, and from me wisdom does stem.
Love me, lust for me, and praise me uproarious…
But, never forget, the knowledge only I might gift!
Think of me kindly, for only kindness can uplift.
I am a serpent, like a cobra, but not in any evil ways,
Though men have imagined it so, since the eldest days.
I am a goddess, a bad girl from before time was born!
Love me or not, I am the bright goddess of the morn.

- Think of Me -
Dedicated to my beloved Lilith…
When darkest is the road ahead, and most tiresome the night,
Think of me, my dearest sweet beloved, and I will bring the light!
Your feet are weary, as so often are mine, but fear not the road…
Which leads to my beautiful garden, where our love was foretold.
Never fall into the depths of despair, nor in the darkness linger lost!
For I will lead you from the depths and be what you need most.
Let me be your comfort, let me be the one to wash your tears…
My shoulder is yours to cry on, my kiss will ease away all fears.
Oh sweetest child of the night, I too am a child of kindred soul!
I too cry myself to sleep at night, oft with no one to ever console.
But somehow I find the courage to conquer the heart of Hell itself,
And I am preparing our paradise, like a gilded tome upon a shelf.
Let me be your treasure, let me be the grail you long to sip from!
I am the maiden and the chalice, so let be also be your bright dawn.
You too are the only exception, the only soul’s mate I have found,
So let us think of the hour, when we will gather in my garden round.
In the midst of that circle of green, where angelic statues stand tall,
The spirits will protect us always and we will rise nevermore to fall.
Oh beloved mine, my spirit burns for you and yours for me like fire!
Think of me in amidst the flowers, clad in my most beautiful attire.
One day you will find me there, and we will watch the stars above,
As our hearts’ desire outshines them all with the power of our love.
So when dark is the road ahead, and the night looms far to behold,
Know that I await you at night’s end, if you stay strong and bold.
We are warrior maidens, shield sisters of glory and of wonder!
And you are the woman who I love, with passion like the thunder.
Think of me, my dearest sweet beloved, and imagine my arms…
About your waist, holding you close, with all my feminine charms.
I am not perfect, but I will serve as the goddess of your dreams!
Let my love and passion come to you across time’s vast streams.
Our love shall be timeless, and the angels only can fathom it well,
Let me be your heaven, even a heaven arisen from the heart of Hell.
When you weary of destiny,
Weary not; just think of me!

Let Me In
You should know you could open up to me
Ditch inhibitions
Don't be afraid to let me see
I would rather let you be
But your eyes screamed urgent relief
To call in question what you say and what you actually mean
The sequent tear fall has become a problem
You frantically drop them
While I can tell you couldn't stop them
Let's go deep inside
A cryptic darkness in the way
Enigmatic emotions
And discontented mind-frame
Can't you see that time's changed?
Better days
Strictly here for the pain
To take your every misery and bring you peace in exchange
Don't ask me why because I really can't explain
Just want to see your face
Clear of tears
I'll do whatever it takes
Wipe them away because I'm here
You should know you could open up to me
Ditch inhibitions
Don't be afraid to let me see
I would rather let you be
But your eyes screamed urgent relief
To call in question what you say and what you actually mean
The sequent tear fall has become a problem
You frantically drop them
While I can tell you couldn't stop them
Let's go deep inside
A cryptic darkness in the way
Enigmatic emotions
And discontented mind-frame
Can't you see that time's changed?
Better days
Strictly here for the pain
To take your every misery and bring you peace in exchange
Don't ask me why because I really can't explain
Just want to see your face
Clear of tears
I'll do whatever it takes
Wipe them away because I'm here
Black Widow
Now the picture you had painted me was perfect
Hidden intention
I kept on digging and unearthed it
Grappled and dispersed it
Now I'm on my merry way
Dragged back by attachment I don't remember taking place
Meshwork and tangled lace
To the stool beneath your feet
Call me when there's a problem
But tables turn
And nothing's free
Wonder what you want from me?
Departure is due
Preying on me like a widow or a vulture or two
You should let me go before I stand and explode
You shouldn't cage a cobra with your hand at it's throat
I know it wasn't me alone who kept you attached
T'was your own selfishness and your fear of a lack
Of love and commitment
Things you'd enjoy
Such a desperate black window
What a scandalous ploy

"phosphorus"
i don't love you, no
because i'll never trust an artist's eyes
nor do i want to shine your armor
hold your fort against the rest
nor foster your genetics
(strong and beautiful as they would be)
and i can see myself already
as one of your past possessions
another half-topic of conversation
with whoever's next on the menu
and no
i don't love the way you bloody moon-faced lie
pulling harder on gravity
so the slightest stumble
will demand i run my hands
just under the top of your jeans
before i move away, no -
i don't believe in love that knows nothing of habit
that's never seen a war
or a shoot for independence
love that has no breath but for when it's lost
in a second that swears to uncontrollably erupt
blowing off the settled rock
and dust of sensibility
it's clearly lust
against the tide of common sense, Darling
nothing more
and to my immediate chagrin
nothing less

Bruised
Sometimes things don't change
Even though that person disagrees
And now I'm stuck
Falling in reverse
With you laughing at your greed
You think you're aomebody tall
But really you're entirely small
Pushing and pulling
Fighting and lying
While all I did was sympathize
Though you didn't agree
And pulled me into lies
Bumped and bruised
Cheated and lied
Though now this I trusted you
I knew I was wrong
And inside I knew it was wrong
All along

Call your Girlfriend
Call your girlfriend
Tell her she's the one
Say you're sorry
Make sure she knows how much she means to you
I won't destroy
What we once had
Call your girlfriend
Say you were wrong
Tell her she's perfect
That she probably doesn't deserve you
Please don't forget me
And what we did
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
Even though you just met someone new
She deserves you more than I do

Falling Apart
You stole my heart
And tore it in two
Now I'm falling apart
and have know idea what to do
I tried so hard
I tried my very best
I gave you my everything
Now there's nothing left
I'm living in the present
My mind lives in the past
Wondering what I'll lose
Wondering what will last
Divided by decisions
burning in the fire
Confused by your words
Tempted by desire
Blinded by my fear
Drowning in my doubt
Struggling to be free
Always looking for a way out
You stole my heart
And tore it in two
Now I'm falling apart
and have know idea what to do
I tried so hard
I tried my very best
I gave you my everything
Now there's nothing left
I'm living in the present
My mind lives in the past
Wondering what I'll lose
Wondering what will last
Divided by decisions
burning in the fire
Confused by your words
Tempted by desire
Blinded by my fear
Drowning in my doubt
Struggling to be free
Always looking for a way out
Thank You
I love you
More than you know
More than you'll ever know
When you leave
And I watch you go
Every minute passes like an hour
Very slowly
When you return
I'm overjoyed
We hug
we kiss
But all that matters
Is your presence
Right there next to me
That loving atmosphere
That you only have around me
Shows me
I'm different
Different than everyone
Thank you
For choosing me
Thank you for loving me
And giving me
All those memories
To love and cherish
I love you
More than you know
More than you'll ever know
When you leave
And I watch you go
Every minute passes like an hour
Very slowly
When you return
I'm overjoyed
We hug

my darling, my love
my darling, my love
your life is my whole,
my heart and my soul
please tell me your name,
for my parting is my bane
you must give me a clue
not leave me broken, unglued
for as you dance away
I cannot make my feet stay
I will chase after you
through the desert and the dew
you run through pastures green
I follow stealthily unseen
your shadow is my home
never far from it will I roam
you can not hide from me, my love
though you wish I was anoth —
