Love Poem: tempted two -

tempted two -

Demoness ...

Tread soft near me, pray thee ...
          tread light and soft ... shall I yet awaken
     to the warmth of your hellfire?

I am your infernal progeny,
          birthed of you and Heaven ... I have been
     torn with your ire ...

I have been rent and
          burned by the cold flames of your
     skin on mine ...

Dare you mix such immaculate flesh
          with this gypsy, forsaken? I am thrall, with but
     a taste of your dark nectar.

Oh, to pierce you with the keen blade of
          truth, to slay your hot impiety, kill you with love, and
     sate the horrid heart's hunger.

We swim the moonlight and
          each other ... bare and bold, torn and told of
     sacred secrets gained in treason.

Let that lie be our salvation ...
          we rise in desire - we soar erotic, prurient,
     woven, interlaced ...

          One.
