Sealed with A Kiss

I try to steady the drumming of my heart

as I wait to catch a glimpse of you

though I know my feet are on the ground

I feel like I’m floating, too.

My hopeful eyes seek you out

a desperate search far and wide

I cannot stop the longing I feel

this ache for you down deep inside.

At last I see you in the crowd

as I watch you drawing near

I try to gasp for precious air

as I enter your celestial sphere.

My heart it soars on feathered wings

it’s so hard for me to breathe

I pray your eyes will drift to mine

and finally take notice of me.

I gravitate toward your beautiful soul

like a moth drawn to the flame

I’d give up my wings for the chance to hear

your sweet lips whisper my name.

The ground disappears beneath me and time stands still

as you lift up your handsome face

I tumble headlong as our eyes collide

and I know that I’ve fallen from grace.

The connection is instant, our hearts entwine

drowning in a sea of bliss

we step into each others arms

and seal our fate with a kiss.

YOUR FIRE, MY HEART’S DESIRE (reblog)

Speak the words that ignite the flame

and without flinching, nor a sideways glance

though my heart does tremble, for you I wait

as your fire prompts my feet to dance.

In painful consummation my voice may wail

and down my cheeks tears leave their trail

yet I will trust in you forever without fail

your fire strengthening my heart so frail.

Though mortal fear seizes my hopes and dreams

and I cannot see what is after the end

the light of your fire is a lamp for my feet

the consort of pain my teacher and friend.

Oh search me, know me, and cleanse me with truth

fanning passion for your purging fire

all my pearls and flaws too, I lay open for you

I will stand still in the judgement and not expire.

For your strength I desire, and your heart I require

all that makes me your own

keep me alight with your flame of life

so much glory to me have you shown.

May I be counted worthy and true

a jewel set in your crown

through trial and turmoil, wickedness and strife

may all my words be a pleasing sound.

My earthen vessel I’ve emptied, now offered up to you

fill it to overflowing, and send me out into the night

a quest for my King, a message to man

my battle armor ready, I stand willing to fight.

I close my eyes and breathe you in

your face is all I can see

I invite you inside, my lord and king

rest your fire upon me, make known your decree.

Though shadows fall, and terror descends

I stand here before you, I will not flee

steadied by your words, I will trust in your love

as I watch and wait for your glory.

FOOLISH HEART!

The smile on my face falters and vanishes

like the sun chasing away the remnants of morning mist

The shattering of my heart inside my chest is a searing pain

a terrifying audible sound in my ears…….

The cold, empty room banishes any lingering warmth

I had left to feel,

my warm body traded for the coldness of a corpse.

I stand there and stare at you

the shock of your words vibrating through my bones….

There is nothing I can do to stop the panic I feel

my breathing so harsh it threatens to consume me in blackness.

At this point I could turn and walk away, but I can’t

I am rooted to this very spot,

 afraid to take my eyes off of you….

afraid you will disappear with the blink of my eye.

How could you turn on me like a venomous snake,

an unthinking, unfeeling beast?

Have you come to destroy my heart and soul?

Was it your plan from the beginning to steal away

the biggest, most vulnerable part of me?

Righteous indignation now swells to bursting in my veins….

my eyes narrow and glower at my target,

fueled by the raw, aching wound of your betrayal.

I am now an unwilling captive of of this torment…

yet you stand there unscathed, unharmed and unaccountable for your actions.

I tremble with rage as I walk toward you,

but freeze before I can strike out at your face…..

I am gripped by the very love I have for you,

the love that is now a perverted, twisting plague that I know will devour me if I cannot escape it…..

It isn’t fair…..

It isn’t fair…..

You give me that small smile that used to make my knees weak

but now only makes my guts clench, making me ill….

For I know I shall never turn in my bed to see your face again

smiling at me like some beautiful angel

as the morning sun shines through the window on your face…..

No…..I cannot forgive you….not now, not yet…..

and no I cannot accept you back into my arms,

though you say you are truly sorry and profess your love…..

Where did this get me before?
What will come of me now?

Though it kills me and goes against everything inside me,

I turn and walk away…..

Away from the one person I ever loved more than life…..

My mind knowing I must get away to protect what is left of my heart,

to try and seek healing and somehow survive this…..

My heart begging me to stay and pull you in my arms, to comfort you in your regret…..

FOOLISH HEART!

I falter in my stride away from you and turn to glimpse you

one last time…..

But you are not watching,

you cannot even look me in the eye.

My heart twinges in pity and love for you and I hate myself for that…..

Just when I feel I will go back to you,

I turn and run as far and as fast as I can,

not daring to stop or look back again…..

I WILL SURVIVE….

SONG OF MY SOUL (reblog)

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 ~

Destiny

Pristine white wings, dipped in blood

not marring their perfection, nothing could.

A wicked twinkle in endless, loving eyes

passion burning bright, no way to disguise.

A hand reaching out to touch across worlds

the magic of desire seizes and unfurls.

Enthralled and flushed crimson, staining soft, ivory skin

to want someone so deeply must surely be a sin.

A song of love yearning, a fever in my veins,

lifting arms to capture, if just a tiny strain.

Powerful notes through the universe surge

birthed from the flames, two souls emerge.

Immortal eyes to mortal ones, lock in surprise

a connection so strong it ignites the skies.

Oh that the world were a merciful place

that I could but touch his lovely, burning face.

Gazes hold with conviction as two hearts quake

reaching for the other, afraid for the moment to escape.

Like Icarus that flew too close to the sun

helpless to stop it, in desperation I run.

Consumed deeper than need, all earthly cares I shun

with abandon he hastens to me and destiny binds us as one.

Lightening strikes all around, energizing the night

as our fates were sealed together by love at first sight.

~ Celeste ~

Surrender

Your love is like pure magic,

a longed for fantasy,

my pounding heart now captured,

by the spell you put on me.

My body burns with yearning,

awaiting the brand of your kiss,

the slow descent of your warm lips,

breathless anticipation of their bliss.

My heart beating ever faster,

the closer you draw near,

you prolong my fervent torture,

whispering wicked words at my ear.

You’re better than my wildest dreams,

I’m lost in heady desire,

and when your lips at last reach mine,

I surrender my soul to the fire.

The lesson of the pebble (reblog)

A sweet, endearing song that enchants the ears of the listener. A few months ago, I wrote this poem as I was listening to this song. Hope you enjoy.

At dawn she rises, a day like any other

and tries her best to force a smile

again she’ll have to reach down deep

to keep her holding on for a while.

For so long she’s had to battle

this war between her heart and mind

she had not expected in all her life

to find these walls she’d built to hide behind.

Now her sorrow had outrun her

her burden too painful to hold

the joyful song her heart had once sung

was silent and dormant in the cold.

Happiness and peace once the pillars of her soul

in all things she’d found the beauty of a rose

but her world had turned to shades of gray

this is not the life she ever would have chose.

In the still and quiet of the morning

she walked alongside a stream

and wondered why her plans had failed

and deserted her soul in a broken dream.

Beneath the water something caught her eye

a pebble the color of the bluest sky

in the midst of all the others it’s color truly showed

the beauty in it’s solitude made her want to cry.

It was a rock like all the others

it’s journey too was much the same

but in it own uniqueness it proudly laid

alone, yet it didn’t complain nor think of another to blame.

She reached down through the water

and picked up the pebble with care

she would keep it in her pocket

to remind her of her time there.

For nature had spoken and she listened with her heart

and received a lesson that day

that no matter how lonely and forgotten we feel

his love remains near to show us a way.

Good Morning with a song, poem and a smile… :)

Hope you enjoy this amazingly beautiful piece that lifts the spirit and refreshes the soul, and a poem I wrote inspired by it’s melody. Have a splendid day!

 

A soft, gentle breeze reminding me,

how everything is meant to be…

A heart of flesh that beats in time

that hears the song of joy divine…

A word that grounds the truth so strong

that sweetly whispers that I belong…

A hand that leads to every light

a love so pure it fills my sight…

A broken soul that long did roam

has finally found it’s way back home.

Arisen

As some of you know, I have a soft place for a wonderfully composed epic symphony, the strength of it’s life and beauty mesmerizing me and pulling at the strings of my heart. I am always searching for something new, and came across this one not long ago. It is a little shorter than I would like, but still packs a punch, the impact well worth two minutes of ear ecstasy! Below is a prose piece that came to me while listening to this invigorating composition.

Turn it up, enjoy, and have an amazing day!

Drawing ever near your infinite cosmic pulse

Ardent and majestic is your soul of fiery passion

Affected by your celestial touch

I’m left yearning in breathless reverie

My feeble heart rests, wrapped in your spirited splendor

Whisked away in your brilliant light

Cascading into your resplendent glory

Your strong hands lift me up as a breath

And I bask in the might of your possession

The tenacious ache of your beauty dark

So sweet and wrapped in velvet night

A silken kiss from your timeless essence

Angelic lips of illuminate fire

Their sparks of life buried deep inside me

Sown within and birthed new life

I, your lady immortal.

Bound

An intimate, personal, prose poem…… Enjoy

The lightening charged the air tonight, threatening to bring it’s ferocious roar upon me….I wish it had, I waited for it to…..Licking my lips, I watched  and waited….then found myself running toward the blackest part of the wood line to be lost in it…..but alas, I stop, embracing a tree for comfort, lightening crackling and firing all around me….a feeling of forlorn, then a primal need, and then resignation…..I return to my abode….I kiss the sky farewell, a bitter laugh through my breathlessness…..”we shall meet again” I said with closed eyes….and lied upon my pillow long into the night, seeking comfort from which there was none…..I shrivel into nothing….my heart wild and free, but my flesh is bound to the earth….I will revel in the fires that scorch my soul, and seek to find companionship in this elemental God that is light in itself, and that casts warmth into my frozen heart….. I,  longing ……waiting…..to be set free into the oblivion that calls to me, to have met it’s match in my heated core….sating me unto contentment and losing myself in a sea of euphoria…..

A storm that never came…………………………………………………………………..

Haiku

Bodies entwined, raptured in ardent bliss

hearts beating frantically as one

the sound of two worlds colliding.

The chronicles of Uriel and Lilith (from Lilith to Uriel)

A poem from the heart of Lilith, to the archangel Uriel, her destined mate and true love, during her travail in his absence.

 I see you smiling, your arms reaching for me

I run at last to hold you, my soul soaring free

I throw my arms around you to hold you to me tight

your image breaks and vanishes, mist floating into the night.

 To my knees I fall and to the skies I scream

twas not my love but only a dream

grief consumes me, my tears flow hot

sorrow besets my every thought.

 My heart bleeds within me, weary and frail

my body longs for yours to no avail

my soul downcast and broken, no longer discerning

can no longer sense through the wrath of this burning.

 As in death I mourn the bliss of your touch

the memories of our passion now hurts far too much

haunted by your face you’re all my heart can see

in misery I wonder why heaven has forsaken me.

 Oh come quickly my love, and save me once more

my strength and my sanity only you can restore

to the gods I humbly beg, send up my tearful plea

I’d gladly give my soul to have you back with me.

 For my love to return I wait day and night

with the last of my strength this darkness I fight

I’ll hold on to the hope till the moment of death

and whisper your name with my last dying breath.

 

Added for the romance story ‘My Angel of Night’ that I am currently writing.  If you have not read it yet and would like to,  I invite you to read the heart gripping, soul wrenching love story of Uriel and Lilith. Come on this journey with me as we explore the heights and depths of their journey. You can access the first installment by typing in ‘My angel of night in the search bar and scrolling down to the same first title. Hope you enjoy!

 

 

 

Sickness

Sadness settles a deep frost in my bones

winter’s chill forms it’s icy cage

stilling the warm blooded flow of life

encompassed through unforgiving rage.

Countenance downcast, tears follow in procession

my body bereft of your touch’s confession

pallor skin dons an ashy reflection

forbidden words fuel my kiss’s obsession.

Silence stalks from beyond the grave

it’s icy breath invades my naked skin

lost in the temptation of wanton desire

strange tides rise to drown the warmth within.

Bitter taste, the heart’s sullen due

defender of elusive beasts

unearth the remnant of reserved discretion

a dance upon the table of feasts.

Walking in darkness my madness pervades

the hungry flesh I no longer feel

anxious to purge mortality’s bonds

a cup runneth over the soul’s zeal.

Bleeding out the tired distain

hope unfurled is love unrestrained

conjuring tendrils of hell’s consuming ire

usurping the power of lasting refrain.

Hell’s sickness shadows my eyes

the windows of my soul glaze over

laid to rest in dreams of youthful glee

I sleep in the hand that watches over me.

Green Man + Haiku

An awesome song, from one of my favorite bands. The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful, and I have added them below the video. I know this band may not be everyone’s cup of tea, indeed it is a minority….but I find they suit a secret part of me well, and their music is unique, speaking to me on an honest and human level. Actually, I have written a handful of poems while playing them in the background, if you can believe that.   If it’s not to your liking, cool. If it is, very good. But I think we all agree, the lyrical verse is quite stunning.

I also wrote a haiku, which was inspired by this song. Enjoy.

Haiku:

Standing at the precipice my eyes behold

sky shedding the cloak of twilight

as dawn’s first rays touch the horizon.

Spring won’t come, the need of strife
To struggle to be freed from hard ground
The evening mists that creep and crawl
Will drench in the dew and so drown
I’m the green man
The green man

Sol in prime sweet summertime
Cast shadows of doubt on my face
A midday sun, its caustic hues
Refracting within the still lake

Autumn in her flaming dress
Of orange, brown, gold fallen leaves
My mistress of the frigid night
I worship pray to on my knees
Winter’s breath of filthy snow
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
I’m the green man

Winter’s breath of filthy snow
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
I’m the green man
The green man

GORGEOUS!

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.
