Verdandi's Plan
What’s to be? You and me,
brought together by goddess of fate, Verdandi..
Reverie ...our first night;
your voice caressed me in a rose petal red cascade,
nuances of your soul
as intoxicating as eau de vie brandy
as you sensuously swept me
through the sultry sway of your serenade…
...so many years since,
so many nights now estranged, so many ‘firsts’ forgotten,
was this part of Verdandi’s plan
that our love is meant to be misbegotten?
What happened to your belief
of our paths' merged by Divine intervention?
Was it ever in your heart
or just your imaginary romantic invention...
Undress me and redress me!
Atone my aroused body, heart and mind!
I’ll taste you, toast you, savor your wanton wine,
inhale and breathe you in;
deliver me your ecstasies erotic
to realms exotic I’d never find,
fill me, thrill me, strum my strings till I sing;
stroke me I’m your violin.
Let me temptingly tease your rising tide
and I’ll ride your wild waves higher,
embrace me, love me
and together let’s revel in rolling rhythmic swells;
take me in your arms,
pin me with your carnal charms and aching desire,
rock me, quake me
shock me, shake me, I’m your lily-belle mademoiselle
From Heaven to Hell and back again,
take me, spin my world counter-clockwise.
Remember ...when your fervor
first whirlwind-twirled me in a ravishment of ‘I love you’...
Satiate me,
with a lust that grows and shows aglow in your elsewhere eyes,
rekindle us;
it’s not too late, evaporate the cooling dew on heartstrings blue.
