Star-Crossed (Lovers)

The leaf, it fell unto the ground
It collected with the others
Increasing in sound
                Spiralling
                Scrambling
                Colliding
                                The mighty wind
                                Had its say
                Scraping against their will
                                They were blown away

My head falls to admire your frame

Eyes in rest
There
By the flame
                Your face, a gem
                Your body, smooth and bare
                                An orange glow by this light
         
You had touched me earlier
Taken me with soft hands
Unspoken words
                A language that demands
                Action

You had risen

Bade me follow your lead
You brought me near
With the gentlest of speed
                Embraced me in dance
             
It was the thick of your heat
                That held me
The current of our Power
                That kept me
                                Locked in your time
                         
Folded into each other
We sank in to another
                 Realm
             Slowly our garments fell
As the leaf I spoke of
                                To collect at our feet

You reached for my thigh

Brought it up high
Around yours

We swayed slowly still

I understood
My Love
                I understood
                Our Will

                It was One

                It was One

                As you Loved me with your hands and lips
                It was One
                As we trembled from the movement of our hips
                It was One
                As our eyes held steadfast and I sighed your name
                                                We were One and the same
                                                As it was in the beginning

So shall it be in the end

I shall slip down
At your side
By this fire
I shall drink this vile
Dry
Of Desire
                And join you with the leaves this night

 

With Love's Devotion,

 

I remain,

Lesley

Assassin

The spoken word
Heard
With soft lips
She stirred

She trickled

She dripped
Emulsifying
She slipped
                In to my Heart
                Panting with Love
                                Assassinating
                                Dismembering
                                My brain

The death of control
                Took hold of me
                Flaying its arms about
                Grasping for Life
                                Gasping for minute bubbles of doubt from which it could breathe
                There were none
               

It fell dead

                Disappeared

When the struggle cleared
I was alive...and wet from the sweat of her skill

I remain, ever grateful for Life, in awe of her mysteries,

Lesley
