Burnt Beginnings

Burnt beginnings
by: Eddy Styx


Rosebud of desire

blooming

hotly centered

in spirited passion

awaking from her dream

still looming

languidly

stretching dainty limbs

silky laughter

on soft full lips

the warmth of her voice

fills me

with all the vibrations

echoing of

strains of silken laughter



~*~



Come drift

into softest night

away from

the sun's glaring rays

escape

from the busy day's plights

chaotic passion

at dizzying heights

let's paint

a crimson blaze

across

the hazy azure sky

dance

the pulse

of our desire

tempt the dangers

of this fire

wild in rhythm

and out of control

*Another Eddy Styx poem (Eddy Styx is my male alter ego)

Lovely descriptions

of a dainty woman with rosebud lips, very delicate, contrasts with the more primal second part which made me want to cavort around a bonfire -Jhena

Dear Chumfin

I'm sorry I started the attack, especially since I know better than to act like that, being an advocate for the sight. I am willing to forget it if you are. I thank you for reading my poem and commenting. I hope that you will return. Always, Cat
