she dances for me
no matter music or step
she knows i'm watching
-----
let the veils fall love
dance as eve danced for adam
when desire filled their veins
-----
a world of tyrants
and yet she found a knight of old
one last galahad
-----
rosebuds on my face
she smiles at my temptation
taste upon my tongue
-----
dark pastel orchid
fluted pink and ebony
spills translucent honey
-----
sometimes raging river
sometimes quiet stream
always your love surrounds me
-----
someone far away
holds a place within my heart
could not be closer
-----
you may never know
just how much you mean to me
you would blush with joy
-----
how often i hide you
tucking you within my words
my own blushing beauty
-----
never blush for shame
but for the warm attention
of loving desire
-----
sins i recognize
pain and hurt and disrespect
most else merely human
-----
ebony rose
crystal petals diamond dew
heavenly honey
-----
things we cannot have
happiness and love perhaps
