HALLOWEEN

10/25/2017

0 Comments

 
You came as a wolf,
I dressed as a witch,
Masked revelers
In a sea of a faces. 

You grabbed my hips
And pulled me toward you
In the darkness,
You who knew me only as a witch. 

I offered you my painted lips
And felt instead your teeth
Upon my neck,
I who knew you only as a wolf. 

And then you kissed me,
My blood on your tongue,
The twinning of two souls,
The taste of deep desire. 

It was then that I knew
That I had found you
And that you had found me
On Halloween night 
In a crowd of revelers.

Blue Rose

Lover,
You slip through my fingers
Like moonlight in water.
You are so close that I can touch you
And yet, when I reach for you,
You slip away. 

Present yet absent,
Your words set my heart ablaze
Like a roaring Jack o' Lantern
On Halloween night. 
Then, like shadows on the wall,
They disappear among the embers. 

Absent yet present,
You slink around forbidden corners of my psyche
Like a black cat
Exploring my secrets in love's dark alleys
Until I yield my deepest desires. 
Penetrating my silence,
You fill me with joy. 

A blue rose rises
From the well of souls.
