Timeless

  

Who are you?

Vision of wonder and beauty

Rich textures of timeless allure

I remember the first time

Your eyes trapped my soul

Claimed something you knew

was rightfully yours

Long before I understood

How many lifetimes ago?

The millennia span our knowledge

of each other

Has there ever been a time

when this wasn't so?

The Coliseum is quiet now

The madness and revelry continues

The streets echo with indulgences

My house is filled with hungers

Entwined bodies strain for ecstasy

That precious, elusive instant of perfect rapture

That moment I have never known

Darkness calls to my spirit

night air heavy with the scents of forbidden mysteries

Stars sparkle above me each diamond shard a

fragment of perfect light

in a black tapestry of eternal emptiness

This is the reflection of my heart

brilliant glitters of promise

smothered by a cloak of protective night

The heavens are my confidante

The observer of my loneliness

Music pierces the sounds

to which my ears have learned deafness

Soft lilting chords of enchantment

weave their way through my seclusion

The reverberation of seductive

searching

finds its answer singing in my veins

Cold suddenly takes away the night's warmth

Fear wakes a tiny thrill of wonder

within my trembling body

Come to me

let me wake you to your destiny

Feel me

breathing within your soul

You were born belonging to me

No!

I cannot listen to the satyr's song

I know you are out there

Beckoning

And I know you will take from me

things of which I have no understanding

the essence of loss that defines

my existence

You will become that existence

And I will be your willing slave

Answer me

let your heart guide you

to my bed

to my body

Worship as you were meant to

as consort to

your truest Master

The music

His voice made voiceless

I need to see this

musician of my Fate

My heartbeat is rapid

as I retrace the steps that led me

to the night

I do not recall inviting

any capable of creating this magick

Beneath the soft linen folds

of my gown

my body trembles

Sweat warms the curve of my spine

and the weight of material

pressing against my breasts

feels suffocating

My nipples ache

Hungry for a touch I have never wanted

Eager to meet the maker of this

siren-song to lust

I feel you

your awakening

You have not yet found me

among the hordes who

play at passion

and are deceived by delusion

Come closer

find me

Where are you?

The music of your lute

incites a fever

that leaves me dizzy and weak

My knees are shaky

steps unsure for the first time

This is my home you invade

And you are my home to invade

sweet angel of life

You

are my salvation

as I will be your downfall

Your descent into

the darkness of your desires

Help me!

Gods above

How can this creature be real?

Silver hair, long and soft

frames the most perfect face

I have ever witnessed

His eyes are bluer than the Mediterranean

His mouth curves upward

with the hint of mysterious knowledge

Promises hover there

oaths of passion and pain

Pale flesh, lean and sculpted

An artist's dream

His hands caress the strings of

the instrument cradled to his shoulder

Long fingers evoke the sounds

of witchcraft and temptation

The suggestions that will

stir the tempest within my

treacherous body

Yes!

I feel your fear, sweet one

Your lust is a headier scent

tainted by confusion

taunted by breathless promise

Emerald eyes

glitter with crystalline tears

Drops of pain

that testify to your

Hunger

Your need for completion

For my possession

The music has stopped

and he raises his head slowly

Sapphire eyes scan the room

and I feel his desire

rush through me

branding me his whore

long before I comprehend he's done so

What is this ache within me?

My limbs betray my excitement

Heat and chill rise and fall

My heart beats in rapid staccato

and I know he hears

He knows every thought

before I think it

Every shiver before it reaches

my shaken consciousness

Beauty

has found me at last

My copper haired maiden

Virgin bride

of the night's god

Sacrifice

to eternity

Her fear is almost as intoxicating as her want

This is my glory and my weakness

Her blood pulses with desires

repressed

Smouldering as only the true temptress can

She will demand my surrender

And I will grant you

your desires

Sate your hungers

as I teach you of things

you cannot now imagine

You

are mine

I

am yours

No words find their way to my lips

No greeting

however trite is allowed to break

this silence

This communion of ancient souls

He takes my hand

and I lean into him

My body seeks contact with this magician

His laughter

blends with the madness that rings in my ears

Somehow I know that this is not the place

Despite the oblivion around us

Shaking

I lead him along darkened corridors

Heedless of the whispers

our passing incites

Lead me to your destruction

Angel

to the fulfillment of your

ultimate awakening

I can hardly bear this waiting

this teasing promise

Your soft curves tempt me

your innocence

sustains my passion

tames the beast

while inflaming me

Candles have been lit

The doors to my chamber shut quietly

and his hands now rest at my waist

hold me to him

His mouth on my neck is gentle

and the shudders his tongue arouse

make me cry out softly

I step away from him

and stare into the cool yet heated lust

that burns within indigo eyes

I don't know you

He smiles

and I hear his voice for the first time

a silken caress of erotic sensuality

You know me

just as you want me

breathing within you

moving within you

You want to devour me

submit to my ravenous hunger

The flowing robes he wears

pool around his feet

and he steps closer

His hands catch mine

pull me back to him

before he teaches them a new purpose

His flesh is cool

smoother than the finest marble

And finally

he allows me his taste

Full lips cover mine

his tongue probes and duels with mine

as the knot of my gown is loosened

Naked skin touches naked skin

and my arms cling to him

Mentor

Master

Guide me in this new world

Take my body and educate me to your needs

while you reorder my life

His mouth is a flame that sears

Softly suckles tender nipples

as his fingers seek

the heat that burns between my thighs

The room is a candlelit blur

my feet no longer touch the ground

Then the bed is beneath me

As I am trapped by his limbs

Entwined in a prison

I willingly entered

Your life is about to begin

as you die in my arms

Your blood will burn in my veins

as your spirit finds freedom

and your soul remains

forever bound to me

Your warmth is

the heaven I have waited for

Your body the prize

which rewards my patient search

I'm afraid

as I lie here entangled in his arms

my legs yielding to his weight

opening me to his urgent need

His voice soothes

promises ecstasy with such assurance

I believe him

There is something forbidden

in this lusting rapture

this savage joining we engage in

He is not fierce or demanding

without care for my ignorance

But he will not be denied

His invasion is careful

but pain arcs through me

and I feel the faint warmth of blood

trickling from me

as he fills me with his being

I have tried to be gentle

Your love is shadowed by fright

and that too is thrilling

You are afraid of my lust

even as you revel in the power

you do not yet know you possess

Your body knows me

as your mind cannot

Yet

Screams rise in my throat

he silences me with his kiss

and I feel the true depth of his passion

His desire touches my mind

as his body demands that I allow his

satiation

What is this madness

that builds inside me?

Pain is a distant memory

the only reality I know is him

The only truth I know

is that I am his

Lover

Whore

It matters not at all

I am simply his

Sharp breathless agony

pierces my throat

and I bleed again in his arms

He takes my life from me

and returns it a thousand times

as the darkness brushes

at the fringes of my awareness

Drink!

Accept my life as yours

be reborn in my image

Child

Lover

You are these

and so much more

But you are mine

never doubt that truth

nor my selfishness

There will be no others

Not for you

I am Immortal Passion

Vision of wonder and beauty

Rich textures of timeless allure

I remember the first time

Your eyes trapped my soul

Claimed something you knew

was rightfully yours

Long before I understood

When, Beloved?

It began many lifetimes ago

The millennia span our knowledge

of each other

There has never been a time

when this wasn't so
