poem sets 1
taste the blood in your mouth
the cut stings and you flood
in the sharp messages exude
slap deserved
a haul back and release
such precision and aim
the feeling of fresh hate
cooked in warm love
the first betrayal
simmers in the background
a naïve state of disbelief
both parties make assumptions
incorrect about human nature
evolved from animals we
kill for passions, lust, and greed
what creature does that?
_
in the black void of your heart
love suffocated before it starts
claustrophobic as you were
smothered love face down
can I gasp or breathe?
I thought you cared, was deceived
something borrowed never returned
just a possession, barely fought for
hardly earned
Ice cold kisses now adorn me
shall I recant my allegiance?
As I gather courage to stray
you threaten to end your misery
next time not with a dull blade
Shall I pray you gather strength
find the folly in love under duress
a captive audience is still enslaved
when all it is their freedom they crave
we perform a nightly chore
you mollify my beast for an hour or more
but after a grateful slumber
I break from the spell I am under
slump back to my glided cage
_
She gilded me into her lair
smooth almost sublime
words were unnecessary
acceptance was in the orbs
As she opened the gift
she yearned for in sighs
in quiet moments before
joined in union in the night
Slight glances in dreams
after all, no one must become wise
tutorials after lessons
pupils need clear eyes
She rubbed her prize gently
a trophy she would polish
with the finesse of an Olympic swimmer
contortions in the night
Her supple firm body
would be his lecturing guide
if before had little meaning
a measure, a passing test
Anxiously awaiting to find
heaven in context of silk sheets
and a Master’s hearts
loved truly, perhaps in hindsight
willingness to be led
leaves promises of forever
of the love that would stay
always longing to
for moments are meant to be cherished
like a stray of sunlight before
the coming dusk of night
