Like a Flower

Like a flower that thirsts for sun and rain

I long to feel love again

To feel the warmth caressing my skin

As those first moments of passion begin

For now I wither on the vine

Feeling nothing but the sorrow that is mine

No sun, no rain has nourished my soul

Instead of warmth, I feel so cold

No blooms of joy will raise their heads

Neglect has caused this flower to be dead

Cracked earth is under my feet

As this once fragrant soul, it’s death does meet

Carnal Games

An upturned glance from lashes that hide

The ravenous craving that prowls inside

A hunger, insatiable that grows each day

Fed by the carnal games we play

A coquettish smile on soft lips

My fingers trail lightly on your skin, just the tips

A tease, a promise, of what my flesh can do

If ever I would give in to you

The temptation to entangle your body and mine

To taste such pleasures of a sin filled entwine

Enters my dreams and becomes flesh

Like an apple on the vine, my lips on it pressed

Breaking the skin and letting the juice drip

On my tongue as into the flesh I rip

Tasting you as you splatter on my tongue

Fruition of temptation has come

Dreams pass as the day dawns

Your taste lingers while the robin sings its mornings song

I awaken with renewed desire

The dream has not sated this kindled fire

So I wait to see your face, taking the chance

That you too hope for our flesh to dance

To the rhythm and beat of this carnal game

For only your touch, will my craving tame

Fallen

Cast me not from the glory of your grace

See you not how blood tears stain my face?

Once a daughter in your courts of divinity

Now your visage has turned from me

Scarlet sins of want cover my breast

Tightening the illicit yearnings in my chest

I clutch the fading flowers of my youth

Remembering what was once my truth

A prophetess formed, set apart for your use

Before the days I was tainted by abuse

Sanctification bled from my soul as I fell

From heaven’s heights, plummeting to the depths of hell

Savaged by the demons claws as I tumbled

Gnawed by their jaws as they mumbled

Curses into the webbing of my life

Constant pain and turmoil’s strife

Crashing to the unwelcoming ground

Left with naught but whimpering sounds

Prayers unasked, fore the answer is already clear

Eternal banishment, reality of that I feared

For I am

Fallen

Come Take my Heart

You desire my heart? Then claim it as it drips in my hand

You’ll surely show it the same disdain as any other man

These four chambers I clasp have brought me naught but pain

The lack of care held within has driven me insane

Pulsating memories draining onto my skin

Scarlet colored record of every wanton sin

Those rendered by others, and the ones I own

Sliding down my fingers, every seed that was sewn

Dead inside, no beat contained in this flesh

So take it now, let me fall into limbo’s rest

Caught in between life and the mercy of death

If I can’t feel, then I can’t want love’s tender caress

The sisters three have shown their scissors against my thread

I pulled it from their grasp, and killed what was already dead
