Private desires
Unspoken
Yet craved
Led to tangled limbs
Upon inspired sheets
Shadows writhed
Upon virgin walls
As passion flamed
To the siren call
Of wicked intentions
Both animal
And wild

#temptation much too strong to deny
Dark hours & secrets shield curious eyes
#debauchery lures the wicked to fall
Again & again we succumb to it all
#strong urges whip quaking flesh passionately aflame
& behind locked doors shuddering cries echo your name

In radiant light does she walk
Draped in Spring hued raiments
About her brow a floral crown
She lightly steps among the flowers
Trailing sunshine and petals
Delicate and graceful in her @#gown

“Raven’s wing”
as she was known
In darkness she walked
And always alone
Her sightless eyes
To the heavens did gaze
Reading the stars
Clues to the maze
Of life in this world
That echoed around
While she stood still
Anchored to the ground

Lost in #whisky dreams
Heady aromas suffuse
A smoke laden atmosphere
As husky voiced singers
Draped in bourbon shades
Croon in seductive temptation
From darkened corners
To a blues style beat
Sweet as thick molasses
Dark as this wicked City of Sin

#idyllic rapture
Bucolic paradise
Leave me here
In meadows sweet
Neath cobalt skies

#proof they want
Then proof shall they get
A hand or a finger?
Be it dry or wet?
Choices, choices
What should I do?
He’s stretched on the slab
Turning quite blue😱
Eeny meeny miny mo
Three little piggies?
Or should I start
With a toe?

Friday night memories
Those were the days
When we gathered together
To listen amazed
“ON AIR” said the sign
And we eagerly awaited
The next thrilling instalment
Our breaths held and baited
#SlamWords #45thEdition - round 1/2
...
Those certain lyrics
Tumbling me back
To a more simple time
Or so it appears
As I remember it then
Through rose coloured tears
“This is dedicated to...”
& we all yearned to hear
Our name in the gap
From a loved one so dear
#SlamWords #45thEdition - round 3/4

Curving with swan-like grace
She bends like a willow
Flowing from one one position
To the next, delicate yet strong
A swan poised for flight
She holds...waiting for release
Her graceful leap an exclamation
Of the joy in motion unleashed

Several twirls later and the world is enraptured
Holding its breath as the story unfolds
& the orchestra weaves a musical fantasy
How far away those early days seem
When her two left feet held her back from the dream
#SlamWords #45thEdition #encore - round 3/4
...
The crowds go wild in jubilation
Yet she’s deaf to it all
A puppet pushing through
Lashed by the whip of expectation
Knees cracking under the cruel strain
She keeps on dancing - slave to the pain

Up close and personal
He held me like a charm
Drawing me closer
Away from all harm
Ambition my sin
My Achilles heel
The dark temptation
The craving to feel
All he could do
He did that for me
When I was too blind
Too proud to see
#SlamWords #45thEdition #encore - round 6
...
No one could argue
He stood out from the crowd
That black tutu / pink leotard combo
Was certainly way too loud!
Street chic was a mystery
He just didn’t understand
No! Bright n bold colours
That was the way to go, my man!
#SlamWords #45thEdition #encore - round 7

Tantalising moves designed of sin
The beat of the tango drew me in
Closer and closer did we become
Consumed by desire to finally become one
That signature move I knew so well
Enslaved to the rapture I so ached to feel

What do you see?
When the music fades
&the notes die away
What do you see?
When the lights go out
& only silence echoes
What do you see?
There in the shadows
Is it the ghost of me?
Lost in a dream
Still dancing there
Upon the stage supreme
#SlamWords #45thEdition #encore - R9
...
As the last notes faded
Falling upon a dying swan
The house lights shrouded
The last interpretation done
Applause a loud tsunami
Crashing over head
To drown out mocking memories
Of a past she thought was dead

If I could hold you in my #arms
If the Gods would only allow
Then I would know peace
If only for one long day
And gladly spend eternity
In prayer upon my knees

Let not the fire burn out
That once did burn so hot
In days long past when we were young
& the future whispered in a silver tongue
Little did we know in those halcyon days of yore
That nothing lasts forever - all is dust upon the floor
#poetry

If I could make one single wish
It’s that you could sit beside me again
And we would sit down upon the grass
& rewrite the stars that on high would pass

Like a needle #stuck in a groove
The threats kept on coming
So what did I have to lose?
A slug in the belly would shut his mouth
He’d be dead n buried n gone for good
Out of my and life an’ that ain’t bad

Love #blooms in the darkest corners
Flourishing where shadows beckon
Entangling souls and weaving magic
The carnal rapture of stolen moments
Lost to a world where need becomes want
That turns so quickly to addictive need
