In the midst
of this deepest sadness
the reminiscence
of a secret happiness
From the highest peaks of light
to the Isles of outer darkness
she came shining bright
my Lady of the Harvest
My Belladonna of the night
For so very long
before I knew her
I was lost to human sight
madly navigating
a raging torrent
flowing fast and strong
upon an endless quest
to hear the Siren’s song
caring nothing
for what’s right or wrong
A soldier of misfortune
being driven on
having crossed oceans vast
only to be shipwrecked
and forsaken
upon an alien coast
Somewhere in the past
my soul still tied
to a broken mast
๐ ๐ ๐
Was it her scent
a spell
or the roar of thunder?
It’s now hard to tell
as some irresistible power
drew my lover and I together
hither to the Bridge of Sighs
where my swollen river
overflows the fertile delta
between her golden thighs
To the Three Fates
as destiny awaits
her love is my only answer
my sure guide
through life’s dire straights
๐ ๐ ๐
The joy of arrival
the pain of your leaving
A question of soul survival
always clinging
to hopes stirring
of our next awakening
diving the well
of paradise swelling
with pleasure ascending
All bliss eclipsed
upon your lips
An ecstatic glimpse
of the sweet eternal
That serene embrace
of a raging tornado
in the cool breeze
of a towering inferno
I’m drowning
transcendent
in the scent
of your essence
That hint
of a celestial mint
from some distant planet
The hunger satiated
Two souls consummated
spirits wholly elated
A physical singularity
franticly tossed and lost
in a romantic binary
โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ
Your after glow
in the undertow
heaven sent
upon a lava flow
Your smoothest groove
the deepest vent
as way down below
a pyroclastic event
from a mighty peak
Steady and slow
The seed of love
gently sowing
Let it grow
With those
Arabian Night whispers
and your celtic prayers
where angels often linger
let love grow
upon Heaven’s stairs
in the dignity
of pure intimacy
A gift to forever treasure
you graciously bestow
so recklessly
With those eyes
of emerald green
you were but a dream
passing by in the sky
all style and grace
whilst I slept
upon a rocky shore
lost in time and space
That smile
upon your radiant face
with a hidden promise
of so much more
You gave me an inch
so I took a mile
as my molten happiness
came flowing
through an open door
like the Bora winds
upon an Adriatic shore
I took you in Barcelona
You took me to Paris
Your love always
evens the score
My centre of balance
My reason for existence
โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ
Your verdant pastures
my treasure
beyond measure
You will always be
my hot source of pleasure
Sweetest Bella
your’s is the face
that launches my starship
heavy with desire
into outer space
Girl …
could we get any higher?
โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ
To delve the calm
in the eye
of your perfect storm
To touch the Sun
and scorch the sky
To feel the flame
upon re-entry
to your bountiful
and heavenly body
To be undone
to be unraveled
hand in hand
upon a road less traveled
united as one
My Queen of Hearts
our kingdom come
La mia bella signora
you are truly a journey
of high adventure
With you
and the Spirit True
I forget all about
life’s stormy weather
I shall always remember
that love is for the bold
to have and to hold
till our time is through
For me
love only comes
in the lovely shape of you โฅ๏ธ
