Bittersweet

I ask myself why it must be
That my heart is lost in desperate despair
When can this end and how
For each breath I take
Longing returns and desire remains
Yet his heart belongs to another
I am but a pawn in a dangerous game
A melancholy lady who craves the impossible
Simply a dreamer lost in the dream
Though I shall accept it for what it is
This torment continues to grow
For there must be a reason
That I have been bestowed this passion
If simply to feel the rush of my blood
And knowing that I am fully alive
I thank you for that, my bittersweet reverie

My Wild Heart

One day a warrior, the next a coward
Isn't it odd what perception can do?
Eyes will see what they want to see
And the heart can be deceived, by the mind's trickery
In this moment of clarity, I know that I am the victor
Such a prize was never quite that
Yes the dream was a good one
For that is all it ever was
There could have been one reckless night
Filled with hunger and desire
His teasing was fueling the fire of my soul
I now know it was just that and in the end
We all get what we just deserve
For in my heart I will always know
That the prize will forever be within myself
And my wild heart will forever be free

The Kiss

Intrigued by your mouth and the way it seems to call me near
I begin to feel the heat within your seductive smile
Yearning for the moment that our lips can come together
Together in an instant of anticipated pleasure
Drawing nearer ever so slowly
Like the moth that is drawn to a flame of desire
Whenever I see you smile or hear your voice
I am drawn to those ravenous lips
The climax is ever so near
So near it can be almost tasted
As our eyes meet, your gaze draws me in
Place your luscious lips against mine, my love
Feel the heat of my breath
As a symphony of desire plays in my ears
I am drowning in soft petals of roses
Absorbed in the magnificence of your being
And the mere scent of you
Come even closer my love
Let me taste your desire
As my lips brush tenderly against yours
Let your tongue cautiously gain entry into my mouth
Seeking out pleasure from my own
Feel the surge of adrenaline pump through our bodies
As our longing can only intensify
For this moment will belong to us and us alone
To savor like a fine wine on a rainy day
I do realize you will never belong to me
Yet for this moment your lips are completely mine
As we share this tiny piece of heaven dubbed a kiss
