show yourself to me
nocturnal one  

give to me your kiss,
succulent
as a berry on a vine,
i wait you
and i am possessed  

my lips are parched
my ribs, a climbing vine
bearing grapes  

come, my celestial love
to the garden bower
there, amongst the sage
our encampment  

circle me
with your scarlet cloth
my cardinal
my songbird  

canto amore

for i am not the winter
or the gust which threatens
to stone you
and shadow your light

~    

I do not fear you.

my desire
my raiment, now gilded
once tarnished,
bore a coat of shame

stead your tormented brow
aloft my downy vestment
and let us exalt in choir
to that in which we are
entitled  

Sublimate this existence.  

take wing, my beloved
let us pursue the primeval
let us ride upon their backs  
let us take wine and bread
for here  

We shall find our birthplace.

I keep a fragrance bottle my
muse gave me when I met him
in endless winter and he
settled me into remembering
who I am.

This has a Eurpopean dark metal quality to it... I found myself trying to put a melody to the words. Enjoyed.

As very good as this is...(and it is)

I am left wanting

This feels like the start of something...a prelude.

"Giggling at Ed"?

THIS Ed?!?

So it's you two who have been hogging all the talent

Love this. It's going in my libary.
