My Angel of night

Hi everyone. I am really excited to present this to you all, I have been working very hard on this short story, and have put a lot of my heart and soul into it. I know it is not perfect yet, it is still a rough draft, but I could not wait to publish it, lol. I have been writing a lot, practicing and honing my skills in preparation for the novel I dream of publishing one day. I have learned many things, recognized some weaknesses, advanced in my strengths, and am gaining a better understanding of my own unique language and voice through my writings. I am concentrating on scene descriptions and character building amongst other things, and am looking forward to developing an exchange of dialect and personality between the people I create in my fantasy worlds. And of course, creating conflict, climax and weaving it all together will be a challenge, but a satisfying experience. I am having so much fun, feeling like I am settling in and finding my voice and place in this world through my talents. There is so much to look forward to. This is my baby, and as young  as it is, I am still proud of it and am thankful for the opportunity to share it with you all now. The title may be changed in the future. Enjoy the read, and I welcome your comments and feedback. I will be working on the second part soon.And though this part does have extremely passionate and sensual tones, it is not explicit, as the continuing part will be. But I will be fair and give a warning with the next installment. Enjoy and have a good day…..

I had a dream, a lovely dream…..

or was it? It still feels so real…..

A familiar time and place

of ancient memories past,

an exotic world teeming with life

with colors so vivid and bright.

The air all around was alive and inviting

infused with a power and magic that excited me.

I had a peculiar feeling that my presence was known here,

and I was greeted and welcomed in with comforting tones.

A silken gown graced the curves of my body

warm breezes flowing through it’s stream of milky white

that fell in a smooth line from my shoulders.

My skin glowed under a huge silver moon

set like a radiant jewel in a crown of night sky.

The illuminate shine brought to life

this extraordinary world around me,

animating the landscape with the multitude

of shadows that were cast on the ground.

As I took in the beauty of the scene

I grew increasingly aware of another presence.

I was not alone.

I felt a set of eyes boring into me

watching my every move from the shadows.

My heart quickened and my skin started to tingle

as I let the awareness settle into my bones.

I squinted my eyes and strained to see better

and made out the silhouette of what appeared

to be a man, arms crossed, standing beneath a tree

at the edge of the woodline, staring straight at me.

The instinct to panic was quickly overridden with calm,

as though something willed it to be so.

I stood so still, heart racing, as the man

began a slow stride to make his way to me.

Heady, I began to sway in place

growing intoxicated by his presence as he drew close.

Watching helplessly,  I noticed two large shadows

following closely behind the man.

It looked like…..Wings….

My god, this man, or whatever he was,

was sporting a set of beautiful goliath size wings,

wings that were black as night.

He stopped a few yards short of reaching me

and as he stood, I could see the heavy rise and fall

of his chest in the moonlight.

From this distance, I saw his eyes glowing

 a deep sapphire blue,

twin jewels set in his now obviously handsome, regal features.

His jaw was a straight shot of bone

and though his lips were pressed together

I could tell they were full and bore

the slightest hint of a smile….

a smile that no doubt was a result of his thoughts

and  a promise of things to come.

This man was colossal, and carved out like a god

that had been reverently chiseled in stone.

He was gorgeous, flawless, larger than life…..

and the aura emanating from him was potent

and screamed of power and authority….

And, heaven help me, it was focused solely on me.

Though as it were, through all this strength he possessed,

I sensed a heaviness of heart, his years

of existence weighed upon him with an almost crushing force.

Loneliness, hunger, and grief had accompanied

this glorious creature for too long

and something inside me was reaching out to comfort him

in his distress, to relieve his pain and remove his burden

far from him.

 I was suddenly craving this man

with a ferocious hunger, and was more

than anxious to have him nearer to me.

He drew his eyebrows together

as though he had heard my thoughts,

his eyes growing more intense

and filled with longing by the second.

” I have been waiting for you” he said suddenly

in a deep, penetrating voice that made my knees weak.

“For a very long time.”

The muscles in his arms rippled

as he clasped his hands behind his back

and took a step forward to close the distance between us.

My heart went into staccato mode

and it was getting harder to catch even breaths.

Anticipation and desire deliciously charged the air

with each painfully slow step he took towards me.

What was wrong with me?

I could not wait to have him in arms reach

and be swallowed up by his enormous body….

God, I was losing my mind….

It was hard to think with my hormones running amuck…..

Our eyes locked in place as he was so close now,

and I saw a shadow move across his face

when he started to speak.

‘For millenia I have combed the earth

in search of you. Always watching, always waiting,

praying that my dreams of you were real.”

This was said with so much emotion

it squeezed at my heart.

Finally, he stopped within inches of me

and I could feel the heat pouring from him in waves.

And too I realized anew and with great appreciation

the sheer size of him.

His shoulders so broad they blocked

out the view of the world behind him.

But that was OK, I had all but lost interest

in the beautiful surroundings.

I drew in a breath, taking in his wild, masculine scent.

Damn, he smelled so good.

And I had a vague thought that I would be finding

out if he tasted as good as he smelled.

His scent wound it’s way around my insides

and my instincts registered something

that my mind could not yet comprehend.

Parts of me that I did not know existed

were coming alive and singing a chorus for this, angel.

There was no doubt this man was an angel.

He was the most magnificent thing

I had ever laid my eyes on.

Realizing my eyes had wandered, tracing

a hot line around his body,

I raised my head to look at his face

and was greeted with a ravenous gaze

that was looking so intently down on me.

Yet his eyes were glistening with unshed tears

that broke my heart.

Through his countenance I could perceive

the storm of emotions that were raging

inside his heart and mind.

Relief turned to passion and disbelief to desire,

his need against his intellect,

and so on they raged.

But none was as overwhelming as the

complete state of euphoria he was in

just from my presence alone,

the fact that I was real and alive

was an enormous relief and miracle

to him, and that was obvious.

Goodness, to be so desired by such a one

as this man made my head giddy

and spin with elation.

I had never been so wanted and desired

in all my life, and had never desired anything

with such an intensity I could barely breathe.

And all this for a man I just met

but felt like I had known for an eternity, just the same.

It felt like I was finally home.

As if he heard me and wanted to show he felt the same

he raised his hand to touch my face

and the contact shot a jolt of pure lust

through the both of us that rocked our souls.

He ran his finger over the outline of my jawbone,

 slowly traced the elegant slope of my neck,

and made his way down to

tease the part of my oh so sensitive

breast that was exposed

over the top edge of my gown.

My breath caught and I let out a sigh

and his chest rumbled in a low moan.

From that moment on we were connected

body and soul

our hearts joining together and erupting

in a fervent dance of passion.

TO BE CONTINUED…………..

Alive

The morning sun is shining

twin jewels blazing in my eyes

as I bask in the light that reaches to me

I welcome the rays that pour from the skies.

The tree limbs sway in a gentle breeze

casting shadows that flitter across my face

I feel so alive, like I was meant to be

here and now in this shining place.

Bursts of exuberance emit showers from within

and a twinkling sound of joy proceeds from my heart

my body alive and warm with the power of love

I knew I was born for this from the start.

The smile that spreads across my glowing face

speaks the volumes I cannot conceive to say

I pray that heaven receives this blessing in return

this love that visits and energizes me today.

Let me not utter a discouraging word

or quench this radiant spirit that joins me

but like a river let the life flow out of my pores

I hear the spirit say ‘yes’ and I agree.

Soaking in the brilliance of the sun

I give thanks and welcome the god of life

happy are those who draw him inside

and for peace and happiness exchange their strife.

Haiku

Rosy colors pierce the early morning’s dawn

opening my window for a closer look

the birds’ happy songs greet my ears.

Waiting

Surrounded by warmth and light

as the sun’s radiance

shines down it’s loving beams upon me.

I rest in peaceful pastures and think of you

longing and waiting for you

to return back to me.

I squish my toes in the soft grass

as I try to find comfort and solace

for my aching heart.

I close my eyes and turn inward

to the place that grounds my

airborne soul…

Always searching, always wandering

always waiting, yearning….

for love to bring back

the other half of my heart.

Out there somewhere in the infinite skies

floating by the planets and stars

seeking, looking, wanting….

only to have it’s voice come back

with endless echos of mourning.

Oh that you would send an angel

to absorb some of the pain

a touch of momentary relief

for the soreness in my heart.

Nevertheless,

for you I shall wait

no other can compare.

One look at you on that fateful day

sealed my fate for eternity.

So here I am

in peaceful pastures

resting, waiting

for a world with you in it

a world without end.

Vengence is mine

I wrote the following freestyle poem set to the song ‘marry me’ below. As some of you know, this is my very favorite epic love symphony. I have composed more than one poem from it. I cherish this song deeply as it speaks to me and plays on the strings of my heart.

So without further delay, my dramatic poem, set to sounds of the brilliant composer Hans Zimmer. Enjoy.

What must I do to bring back your smile?

What must I say to prove my love?

I can no longer sit and watch your tears

while my love wastes away.

I pray to the heavens for only God knows

how very tender my heart is turned to you

and only he sees

how I have struggled and fought for you in vain.

I would go anywhere, do anything

to see the shining glow in your eyes

Climb the perilous mountains, swim the treacherous seas….

you know I would give my soul to redeem you

from your present nightmare.

Feel this heart that pounds in my chest for you

receive love’s passion that burns inside and do not let it die

make it your shelter from the storm and heal your wounds

it is forever there to make you whole.

I know not what tomorrow holds

but this one thing I do

I’ll continue to rage war with the savage hoards

I will rescue you, back to me, from the one who stole you.

But the shadows cast across your face

sow fear within my mind

oh what a wretched kind of battle

fighting with what I cannot see.

I cannot lose you to the dark

I would not make it through

my pleas for you to hear my cries

are falling on deaf ears that once were so alive.

Tears fall from the wellspring that has become my eyes

they stain my hot, swollen cheeks

splashing, falling, a stream of grief

down to the barren earth below.

NO! I will not be tempted, cast away into despair

will not my tears be for naught only to be

swallowed up by evil’s sinister laugh.

On the contrary, my love….

each and every one shall be avenged.

And also yours.

If it means I fight until my hairs are all gray

with or without you, until the end…

they will not take you quietly into the night

not without my wrath to accompany their wretched deeds.

But if it must be so, then to the grave I go

with you still by my side, buried with our plundered love…

for I will never leave you alone in your nightmarish plight.

When that day comes may the gates of heaven welcome our weary souls

and usher us into the healing waters of life

to rebirth and restore to us in another world

what was once enjoyed and stolen too soon in this one.

But until then, hell will have to deal with me

and contend with my might, if indeed they aim to claim you.

We will go out in a blaze of glory…..

if it must be so, so be it.

Your face still frozen and heart so ill

I take your loving hands

remembering the way they would touch me

their warmth and desire winding it’s way to my inmost places.

Anger boils beneath the surface

my will and strength ignited anew

hell will not go unpunished

for this curse they have brought upon you.

I will avenge you, my love and redeem you from the pits

before God and man, this to you I truly vow….

I’ll journey far and smite them with a single glance

from my vengeful and ever watchful eyes.

~ Celeste ~

My love hangs on the cross

Alas, my love hangs on the cross

the cross he bore with tears

the memory of which has been ingrained

carried inside me throughout the years.

Hushed silence spread through the crowd like wildfire

as the earth opened to receive it’s own son,

creation cried out against the flesh of man

witnessing the brutality done to the one.

I gaze upon the broken body in shock

that hung limp there from the tree

he had lived his life an example of love

then gave it up for you and me.

Weeping eyes and aching hearts

no nothing can compare

to the loss and pain we felt that day

crucified were we too on the hill there.

Rough hands abuse the body of my lord

nothing none can do but stare

remember the wrath his soul endured

enticements and deceit one must beware.

Surrounded in precious pools of blood

the earth below was stained

I dipped my hands in cooling crimson

marked my heart with the life drained.

The last breath we witnessed, he gave for all

“Father forgive them” we heard

true to his life until the end

bestowing upon us his final word.

The sun blotted out, ushered in the dark

the earth’s foundation shook us to our soul

graves breaking open, the dead were walking

and in great fear the persecutors now his name extol.

Our precious lord laid we in a tomb adorned

mourning the touch of his hand

but on the third day the stone rolled away

and our hearts did finally understand.

That love without sacrifice is love not known

suffering and pain accompany the true

and the act that was done had opened the door

and made love possible, without end for me and you.

Sweet as honey and smooth as silk

soft lips whisper the words

that envelope mine in velvet caresses.

Almost my time to Shine

Reblogged from aurorasawakening:

Just like the stars in the sky I'm going to shine.

Because of my tests it will take a little more time.

These trials only make me stronger,

though at times I wish I didn't have to take them any longer.

My dreams are small but still so bright,

if only I could make them come true over night.

In time they will come and hard work will make it worth the while,

Safe with me

Come sit with me a while, my love

under the shady Oak tree

where I will feed you fruits so sweet

and whisper words of comfort to thee.

Rest your heart in the waters of life

that wind through the depths of my soul

do not fear my fierce desire

your pleasure is mine and my only goal.

Lie your head against my breast

in the place where you belong

this heartbeat you feel can be yours alone

like a dream you have wished for so long.

Taste the passion I offer you freely

take this drink I give you, my life

see the world through my eyes of fire

behold the far reaching of my power so rife.

Tell me the secrets you bury inside

the burdens and sorrows you bear

allow me to ease your turmoil and pain

they’ll flee you with the words of my prayer.

Let my love light a path for your weary heart

as a lighthouse in the storm

you are safe with me from the treacherous seas

safe deep inside me you’ll always be warm.

Arise and let us unite to journey the earth as one

come with me, take my hand and be mine

and I will crown you with the glory of the sun

as you drink from the cup of my wine.

Snake

Raindrops splash on my open window pane

night settles as the day has come to a close

a gust of wind blows in the fragrance

of the beautiful night blooming rose.

The rose scented wind beguiles me

caressing my gown, whispering through my hair

defenseless against it’s deceits I stand here

trapped like a fawn in it’s snare.

The sweet scent conjures the passion of buried memories

heated thoughts of you and I

blood red petals float in a steaming porcelain bath

our fevered bodies joined in pleasured sighs.

I close my eyes in silent reverie

as I relive the fantasy scene

my body now flushed in heady desire

remembering the way you made me scream.

Rumbles of thunder rouse me away from you

a sudden flash of lightening and a feeling of forlorn

the bite of reality comes crashing down

for many nights since, your body I mourn.

Blind sighted by your charm you’d slithered in my soul

and lied in wait in my most sacred hiding place

taking shelter in my love, your appetite you satisfied

feasting, gorging, taking what you wanted from my grace……

and now you have left me alone to burn

gone without a trace.

~ Celeste ~

Song of my soul

There is a song that is written just for me

I hear it playing, crooning so beautifully

it strums over my heart igniting my soul

restoring the passion my enemy stole.

Sizzling sound waves lap me in sensual lush

my blood pumping forth in a dizzying rush

purging my mind from worldly dissent

cleansing a heart that was utterly spent.

The melody ushers in delightful sensation

worships my body in it’s godly creation

with me sharing secrets that have never been told

my hips sway in rhythm to a ballad of old.

At one with the music that graces the night

I dance with my heart and all of my might

conjuring the elements in breathless desire

all the earth burns for a taste of my fire.

I dance here below but am joined with the spirits

their presence so close to mine I can feel it

I am ushered into their ravishing power

In return my euphoria on them I shower.

~ Celeste ~

Great expectations

I hear a voice call out my name

and speak to a hidden love untamed

my sleeping heart called forth to life

my soul is whisked away from strife.

I hear a heart that beats for mine

a longing for a love divine

a plea to calm the calamity

a touch to restore it’s sanity.

I sense a mind reach out for me

to partake in my blessed divinity

to claim a portion for it’s own

to bask in love to it made known.

I feel the force of gaping needs

that beg me to set the prisoners free

to loosen the bonds that keep them chained

to know the joy of mercy ordained.

I see the mass of human kind

walking to and fro, paying no mind

unaware of the great potential they bear

living, but not knowing what is there.

~ Celeste ~

Triumphant return

I close my eyes

let the quiet settle inside

let the peace guide me

to the still passages of the night.

A sound so sweet to my ears

so pure to reach my heart and soul

it’s sound waves tingle over my skin

suspending me in fluid air.

A tug on my hearts compassion

a momentary outburst

a flood of tears erupt

as I weep for something I have not seen

a thing yet lost and not found.

I feel the heartbeat of the universe

the breath of destruction and creation

the death and birth of nebulas and stars

such beauty and power found

in the cloak of the night.

I am no longer afraid

of this present darkness

the fear and turmoil have tried me

and failed…

there is nothing too horrendous and ugly

nothing so far from the reach

of a saving hand of grace.

On the balcony of my high tower

my eyes travel over the surrounding, majestic seas

a cold, bitter wind lashes my face and through my  hair

and threatens to slice me to my heart

as I think of the long voyages made

by many sailors and warriors

that have fought for and protected my life.

I will welcome their weathered and battle weary souls

with a feast and celebration in their honor

for their bravery and steadfast loyalty.

Should their heart’s desire be for home

I shall send them on their way with goodwill

and with my blessing they shall tarry no more

so far away from their homeland.

And if it be their desire to stay

they will be welcomed and rein as lords and ladies

over the lands they have fought to protect

with so much love in their hearts.

They have stood by me without wavering

not questioning my will

nor my words or resolve.

They kept me true in their hearts

in the most sacred of places

and saw me as I was.

They were never deceived nor surprised

my my intentions or motivations.

They are more than great warriors

they are forever my truest of friends.

~ Celeste ~

Heart of courage

If you like epic music the way I do, then you will love this. It has everything you like to hear in a good dramatic symphony. Enjoy…..

Sunlight on sheets tangled around four legs

soft giggles and nipping on earlobes

smiling memories of the night before.
