As She Tantalized

As She Tantalized

Her hips were swaying to the beat

Long  sexy legs captivated

All the men in the room held mesmerized

Eyes closed head titled back her body moved

In fluent motion she licked her hot pink lips

Letting the music be her lover

Making love to her as she

Bumped and grind, gyrated her hips

Her hand ran down her thighs inviting

Temptation

She moaned as the music took over

No one could take their eyes off of her

Beautiful vision,

Desirable,

Seductress,

Dynamic personality

Inside she was poison wine

But that didn’t stop the men

From wanting her

They lusted in their hearts

Watching from a distance

Some who were bold enough to approach

Felt like king of the world

When they got her attention

A coy smile on her mouth

She knew her body was a spell

She cast so well

Pick and choose of any man in the room

Smoke filled atmosphere

Shot glasses slammed down on the bar

Someone shouting for another refill

Music screamed deafening ears

As her body tantalized

Asher body tantalized

As her body tantalized………….

Dreaming In Color

Close my eyes, run my hand across your empty side

Bed is cold, lonely, the smell of your cologne still lingers

Roll over onto my side curl up into myself, wishing you were

Lying next to me holding me tight

Sleep eases its way in

Dreams begin

Laughter,

Tears,

Joy,

Heartbreak,

Birth,

Sorrow,

Life,

Passion,

Giving,

Taking,

Sharing,

Blessings,

Curse,

Forgiving,

Loving,

Moaning drifting deeper into my dream,

Dreaming in color

Crying My Heart Out To You

Careful of the tightrope walked

Rage has tittered on the edge

Yonder there is a place

Insatiable desires corrupt

Negligence of a heart

Gone away broken

Mystified

Yearning

Heavens breath breathe

Eternal love

Aching winds blow in pain

Reprieve of sins unforgiving

Thievery of emotions

Obfuscate inner soul

Utopia lives within

Tangible spirit dances

Timorously standing on threshold

Ostracize by fate

Yesterday is gone

Odorous passion still lingers

Unrequited love has awaken to

Crying out my heart to you

No Shades of Gray

She didn’t know why she felt so sad

Tears came and she couldn’t understand

There was a feeling inside of her that

She couldn’t seem to touch

No matter how hard she tried to

Understand and connect

Was she missing something, someone

She took the sadness with her to

Bed and awaken with it each morn

Wrapped in the arms of an emotion

She couldn’t describe only to say

It never left her and everyday

She carried it, becoming more a part of her

For some great sin was this her price

To be cursed always with this

Sadness inside of her

She couldn’t get drunk enough

Ingest enough pills there was

No relief for the ill feeling

She lived with

Turning to sex only increased her pain

What was left?

The louder the sound of voices in

Her head deeper the pain she was in

Sadness damned her and took

Over her existence

So I guess you could say her world lost all

Color and in the end all she saw was black

No shades of gray

Carefully

Carefully examine the vessel that beats

inside

Carefully let healing begin

day by day

Carefully embrace quiet

while soul searching

Carefully nature is all things

rejoice

Carefully tides of pain ride

out to find another

Carefully awaken youthful

desires

Carefully the sweet smell of roses

returns

Carefully the voice of heaven is

heard

Carefully arms welcome

once was

Carefully is now beginning

to live

Carefully finding my way back

to you

Carefully

Blood Roses

Beauty in whose eyes

Love is death

Odor of sweetness

Out pouring of pain

Deceit veiled in petals of softness

Rendezvous between sheets

Ominous epiphany rain tears

Soliloquy of words whispers to a heart

Eglantine dies slowly

Solace in the arms of a lover bleeds

Blood Roses

Ego Trip

He walked down the street whistling a soft tune

Handsome man and he knew that

Women turned their heads to get a better look

He smiled to himself as he continued in his swagger

Couldn’t pass a mirror to see his reflection staring back

Soft wavy hair he wore just slightly too long

Manicured nails and a day at the spa was his habit

Dressed in designer garb you’d never catch him

Wearing off the rack

All the ritzy boutiques knew him by name on sight

Always wore a rose in his lapel

Smelling of designer colognes

He’d often give a dollar or two to the poor man

Standing on the street corner this made him feel good

Thought he’d really did something to be remembered for

Walking away he’d take out his handkerchief and wipe his

Hands as if the dirt from the man had transferred to him

He sometimes drove his expensive car; a beautiful woman at his side

Would show off like he was a superstar

Fancy restaurants he frequented, was known to be a big tipper

On first name bases with the maitre d’

Sat at the finest tables ate, drank, and satisfied his lustful hunger

He boasts of his wealth the grandest schools he was sent to

Lavished in the life of luxury never wanted for nothing

He was on top of the world but sadly you see

This was all in his head for at night he sat alone

In a one room dump a dim light danced against the walls

Stale air filtered through the cracked window

The stench of musk and sour food blew in the atmosphere

With his hand in his head he wondered if dreams really did come true

Tired and disgusted suddenly it was clear

He stood and looked out his window up into the heavens

 High above the image of a bird held his gaze transfixed

As it flew away and disappeared into the brightness

Of morning light; then he looked down how far was it;

He looked back again at where the bird had once been; free

He spread his wings soaring into the clouds

He looked back at the earth and laughed

Walking Out Of Hell

Weary to the bone

Against cold stone

Lie my head down

Kismet soul with death

Inviting sorrow

Neglecting life

Gone are days of tomorrow

Overture to a symphony

Using distinctive opus

Trouble my bed of comfort

Often stumbling away to nothing

Fight the darkness within

Heaven is but a dream

Evil stands in the shadows

Lurking ready to devour

Leaving fear in its place

Empty Bed

She said baby you made your bed now you lie in it alone

Without the warmth of my body to take away the cold

Even with tears in his eyes she didn’t give an inch

Stared into his eyes and didn’t even flinch

He tried to appeal to her softer side

He even got down on his knees and really began to weep

She looked at him not with sympathy but pride

How many times did he make her cry?

With one last final attempt he went straight for her heart

Too late he’d forgotten all the painful scares

Tonight you sleep alone in bed filled with thorns

She gave him one last glance as she walked

Around his humbled figure

Didn’t look back as he howled at her retreating image

Calling her name, she threw her head back and laughed

The sound of her laughter hunted the empty air as the

Door slowly closed behind her
