Is everything just based on risk?


Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.



When you are with me

Skin touching
Aglow and
Entwined like ivy

Through long hot days
And erotically charged nights

And I am totally willingly consumed

Hypnotised and spellbound
By your seductive powers to bind me

Until we are totally exhausted
Spent
Sated
But no longer seek sleep

When we are seated close
Together
By a roaring hot fire

Looking deep into each
Other’s piercing dark eyes

Remembering
Lost lonely nights
And loathsome days apart

But now consecrated and
Desecrated
By smoldering delicious
French kisses
And beating twin hearts

Has now Love entered the world
And are we now touched

Has once
What seemed too much
And outrageously
Once out of our reach

Is this now
What we just
worship and
Clutch

Do we now kiss passionately
And true

Like it was our divine
Common prayer

Going to newer heights
Where smoldering

French Kisses take us
If we dare

For are you
Now my priceless bouquet
Of red roses

And I now
Your trusted crown of thorns

Betrothed to be together
Since the first day
We were born

Now looking hypnotically
Deep
Into each other’s bright eyes

Remembering lost nights
And lonely days
Laying apart

Of lost smouldering hot Kisses
And individual beating hearts

Is this second time around
Just a refresher course

Or is it a reckless
Emotionally filled
Destructive
Metaphorical

Trojan Horse

Are our long nights together
Going to slowly disintegrate

Has Love arrived

But are we just damaged
And it's now too late

Will this perceived love
Transform into a new hate

But as I look deep into
Your hypnotic bright
Eyes

I know you're worth
The wait

My last throw of the dice
My last hand full of cards

My last risk

Before I just
Wither and die
