Within this season’s bacchanal,
drink deep of me
and find your days ripe
with intoxicating flavours.
A glorious gluttony to savour.
Feel the piquancy of this need
that haunts my palate,
indiscriminately
stimulating
my senses.
Creating a thirst
I cannot deny
Every scent
every taste
reminding me
of you.

She could dream of the freedom to roam at will
feeling the wind in her hair
the lift to her soul.
Mastering the elements of her days
as she let loose the storm, the wild within.
Hers an untamed spirit
oft hidden
but completely revealed
with one look into her eyes.
Believing in herself
and her dreams
she reaches for a life
that flows with passion.
A river wild
that is neither a love controlled
nor impetuous
but one that is illuminated
with the same vision.
A meeting of minds and needs
bound tightly with mutual respect.

Autumn leaves.
Their fiery beauty the setting
to an unwanted separation.
A cold blast of winter air
settled around my shoulders
and froze the tears
upon my cheeks.
The world tilted upon its axis
and I spilled off
into the black abyss.
His touch
hidden from my heart.
Secret longing kept buttoned
under my winter coat
as I walked miles
lost in our memories.

The scent of it teased her senses
for weeks
before she allowed herself
to breathe it in.
An exotic unknown
that lured out of the dark
the silent, sensuous voice
of her soul.
With an opium kiss that seduced her,
it’s taste delicious
and forbidden
upon her untutored palate,
she found herself embraced in a sensual flight
of decadent sin
surrendered inhibitions
and a lust overdose
that left them both with a hunger
they could not sate.
Their connection
a scorching addiction
needing no intervention
as they mainlined the sweet tincture
of illicit desire.

Candle flames dance
amid the shadows cast upon the wall.
Fingers slowly glide along warm, bare skin
to cup this unholy need
that you have unleashed,
finally unbound from its shackles.
What I craved
finally given voice.
Hours are spent
impatiently pining
for the silky caress of words
that finger the ache
growing wild within my soul.
This coveted passion
a whisper between us
a secret fire
burning steadily
over the miles.

For years she toed the line
followed the rules
the good girl
in thought and deed.
But now she is finding freedom
in expressing her desires
freeing her rapscallion ways
and loosing the chains on her renegade heart.
Answering to herself
to the soul quieted until now.
Dark needs speaking loudly
now that they have been given voice.
Renouncing authority.
Choosing to remain untamed
to stay wild
at heart.

In my Book of Life
my inner story
was so hidden
that even I did not know the tale
until one fateful day
in the voice of a stranger
one simple word
unlocked the chest
where all of my secret truths
were kept.
Pages heretofore undiscovered and unread
were illuminated.
He held the key
was in possession of a plan
a detailed journey
to plumb my unknown depths
seeking the darkness
he knew
could be found below the surface.
Giving him my trust
my ultimate surrender
not only allowed him to map my body
but gave him a glimpse
of the longitude and latitude
of my unchartered heart.
