Burning Midnight

Black serpentine
coils, roil
behind your eyes.

Fire and brimstone
flames, claim
your burning midnight smile.

All ashes,
dust must
be the beginning's end.

She whispers,
"Hotels, motels,
water only cleans the skin
but I'm burning from
deep down, deep, within."

Kisses pierce the flesh,
touch,
the bone.
Her burning midnight smile
so much like your own.
Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    Love to ending...I enjoyed reading this one...
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    Such beautifully desriptive words, BE! I could completely feel this one.

    Hey PJfaninmaine!!! :) Always good to see you! WOW! 3 kids graduating??? :eek: That's awesome and I know you're very proud of 'em. Funny and silly is good for the soul, girl and if it makes you feel good, that's what counts. :) Here's hoping you share some of your poems again, you horny devil, you! :D

    {{{Abook}}}, thanks for stopping by and feeling this. :D The poem, I mean. ;) Missing your presence on the homefront! Thank you so much for your kind words. :)

    Ali, "fire's burning, fire's burning, draw nearer, draw nearer, in the gloaming, in the gloaming, come sing and be merry" :D Just throw some more passion on the fire and she'll be burning for eternity!

    Looking through some oldies to share with a pal and I stumbled across this one and I just dig it so, yeah, here it is again since I'm lacking the time for new material as of late. :D And seeing some of the usernames in here--ladies whose cyber-company I do so miss... I couldn't resist. :)

    You have gone over your quota of shameless bumps for the year. One more and there will be a temporary ban enforced. Da board ;)
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Very seductive BE, I see I may be new to the party
    but not the first one to be naughty ;)

    If you don't mind,
    May I copy (or better yet, you post it on the Naughty Boy thread, and I'll add my mojo in response)

    Ahhhhh, cut her a break

    Charcoal eyes pierce the night
    Embers burn releasing heat
    Long past midnight

    That longing look
    Sweet embraces
    Smiling faces

    Whispering secrets of the soul
    To only each other
    They truly know

    Kisses gentle and sweet
    Keep the embers aflame
    Till the sun rises once again

    The orange rays dance upon bare skin
    Inviting play as the midnight smiles
    Touch flesh and bone, burning, yearning
    From deep down, deep within
