once she found her beast
craved him more than anything...
gave up all for him
-----
Seated at the edge of light's circle,
Just before the darkness begins,
The old warrior quietly observes,
Her defiantly seductive dance.
Slowly rising he approaches her fires,
On shadowed flesh emerge ancient wounds,
Skin and soul marked with reminders,
Sad calm eyes which beheld many wonders.
Inches from her, breath and heat mingling,
Old eyes of the hunter look her
Up and down exposing in intimate detail,
The nakedness of body and soul.
She tenses beneath the tactile passing
Of his gaze, almost, but not quite able,
To read the thoughts behind those
Soft, quiet eyes, where, fires seem to burn.
Somehow, without touching her he does,
And his low voice growls...
"Sheathe your claws, for now, kitty, kitty,
You'll need them some other time.
Now walk with me if you're brave enough"
He touches her cheek briefly,
Traces the outline of her body,
Turns to the darkness with one look back.
"Follow me if you dare, or not, beauty,
But, bring the fire within your breast,
You'll need its heat and warmth,
In the darkness we will enter."

she aroused the poet and
when the words came pouring out...
she tried not to spill a one

ALIEN INVASION
alien invasion
different in an instant...
she saw it happen
his face and eyes changed
as if taken by an inner force...
as strange words appeared
so long inanimate but now
transcended to another plane...
poet began to write
-----
i spend time alone
while surrounded by people...
unable to touch me
-----
what sins can you confess
that i have not committed...
forgiven myself for
-----
In the darkness you fear the beat,
The animal urges the drums evoke,
And without him you are lost.
His hands find you, take you,
Turn you and control you...
Touseling your hair, opening your blouse...
His face emerges from the dark,
The almost cruel stare that strips you naked...
The deep dark eyes with their brilliant flames,
Somehow comforting you... telling you...
He will protect you.
With your first uncertain steps,
To the music pounding in your body,
Blood rushes to your face and breast,
As you release yourself to
The freedom of the dance
And his firm embrace.
His eyes gaze upon the first tiny beads of sweat
Collecting between your breasts in the heat of the moment,
As he crushes you to his chest.
"An animal," you think, almost purring the words,
Feeling the pressure and vibrations,
Spreading from your pelvis...
Your breast rises as your body responds to
The dance and the manner in which he's claimed you.
The aching in your chest, the quivers in your belly,
May be inside, yet, somehow, he can see and feel them,
And you realize that you are totally naked to him..
Heart, mind, body, and soul...
And you have followed him into darkness,
Where he is king and will need a queen,
Equal to his passions and daring...
Again you shake but this time with certainty,
With hot desire... knowing, yes, it IS already written...
And your hand in his, you follow him into
The darkness beyond the dance and the drums.
-----
lets go of herself
with him they dance in darkness...
to visceral rhythms
------
exposing her throat
she arches back against me...
throbbing to be kissed
-----
lashing of his words
a powerful punishment...
she sins to invoke
-----
to claim your body
i must first seduce your mind...
so that you love me
-----
climactic moment
earthy poetry rings out...
orgasmic paean
-----
enchanted moment
a beauty and her true beast...
seen with each other's eyes
-----
wanting to watch
moon made indecent proposals...
we laughed and agreed
-----
when the words are done
lascivious lines written...
we will act them out
-----
heat burns between us
spirits fired with single flame...
fueled by desire
-----
Love slowly travels,
An endless pathway seeking,
Eternal embrace,
Eyes trading quiet secrets.
Two souls lovingly entwined.
-----
why would i forget
how could the thoughts of you end...
forget myself first
-----
caged by doubts and fears
she surrendered to his arms...
where her freedom lay
-----
yes although she kneels
instead of her submission...
his exaltation
-----
like a drenching rain
showerhead pelting her skin...
under his guidance
