I've spilled myself onto you...

bleeding profusely,

covering your loins

with love and lust.

I've danced in ancient rhythms...

swaying slowly,

filling your body

with passion's sweet trust.

I've cried tears of a lifetime...

cleansing my spirit,

baptizing your flesh

with bittersweet rain.

I've opened my heart to you...

slowly awakening,

drinking your tenderness

again and again.

This heart will never be the same

Your love has stirred passion's flame.

This was very well done. The lack of rhyme kept it from "sugary" and I liked that especially. Passions sweet trust-lovely!

Cheryl W. Oct 27, 2009, 2:06pm EDT

I'm glad you liked it, Vivi. Thanks for stopping by.
