lifting the veil of nights silence

[Passionaria]

you have disturbed my innocents
with senses enlivened
my lips utter enraptured prose
weaving tales of rose and thorn
needs sacrificed, heart bound
upon a turbulent sea of desires
tie my wrists and bind me to your will
my resistance trickles
like melted candle wax
and pools at your feet
as attar of roses
this perfume of my soul
rises sated
under your hand
intoxicating
your arrogant swagger
impregnated by my beauty
in the balance of
power
the owner
is owned

[Passionaria]

a bright green humming bird feather
jolts from the piercing in your ear
and lies flat across your face
streaming love medicine
wise eyes peer
from your painted face
You made yourself invisible
then emerged before me
shifting
everything
I was taught about reality
in one action
shape shifter
star traveler
kinky
long haired beauty
my heart still calls for you
my lips WHISPER
thank you
passing hand through flame
tobacco offerings released
sweet grass smoke
perfumes the wind
prayers beckon power
finger drawn through paint
long hair cascades
the braid is earned
power allies emerge
and
Warriors take a stand
warriors
take
a
stand
with love

[Passionaria]

my soul flutters across words
like a butterfly
making love to flowers
imagination bursts aflame
paradise drips from my lips
I your muse
melt
the metal of your intellect
into flowing rivers
of emotion
and you paint a fantasy
of me
in colors
of how I make you feel
you love
how I make you feel

beloved fantasy
painted in the colors
of your want
you dream of me
and your prose flows free
even there
you killed me
choked the breath from me
rather
than taking a chance
on loving me
for real

when your painting
and my story collide
fantasies turn staccato
and judgment careens
from your glacial eyes
words become icicles of malice
served from your icebox heart
and the arctic wind of your soul
leaves my pierced heart
too cold to bleed

[Passionaria]

last night I washed my soul
in the river of love
as the moon dripped her golden elixir
into the black of night
spilling effervescent dreams
across the nakedness of my need
releasing light and shadow to copulate
upon tightly pressed realities


her love offering moonbeams
of golden hope
to seduce and impregnated
the smooth dry lines of my beliefs
giving birth to possibility
mesmerized, I shook loose
the last thread that bound my heart
to no you can't

last night as I washed my soul
in the river of love
the moon kissed the night
and her shimmering moonbeams whisper to me
I would never deny you, your dreams

[Passionaria]

On this still summer night
supple tree leaves
hang serene upon
sculptured coffee colored bark

and magenta puffs of flower
ooze droplets of sweat
from the airs balmy embrace
sharing pin drop coolness
with fertile earth

the nights sultry hug
spares no one
all hunger for a soft
wind to blow through
blessed
I free float
baptized in cerulean waters
watching fireflies dance
with tree shadows
the warm pool water
becomes my sea of love
body stretching free
cares gone
heaven

[Passionaria]

A Jazz melody struts profound bass lines as
flamboyant notes jump from my third story window
then dance across the street
worshiping the setting sun
that's melting across the New York skyline
music worships sun
your steel eyes worship me
perked nipples outlined in crimson silk
lost in hedonistic prayers
my neighbors
will never forget your name

[Passionaria]

Veiled Allusion



quietly, her expressions beckon him
the graceful tilt of her head
the upturned corner
of lush ruby lips
a coy sideways glance
eyelashes casting shadows across satin cheeks
from a slow down cast stare
the deliberate movement of her tongue
sliding over parted lips
whispering wet and forbidden

her stories are shared without words
the power of gestures become
her dance of the seven veils
sensual mysteries unveiled
one movement at a time
entranced,
his mind yearns
to slip underneath
her delicately composed secrets
and journey into delicious treasures
that lie hidden
beneath her emotional hijab
