Healing Kisses

Healing begins with a kiss
Such a kiss can only fan the flames
Don't blame me if I shudder under your touch
It doesn't take much to take me higher
The fire grows deadly but I don't care
Share with me Healing Kisses
Who cares if our bliss is seditious

Deadly

Deadly

Tell me of the howling of winds

That blow the bleakest black

Whisper of your darkest sins

God and I will hear of your slack

Whisper to me of cleverness

Of great deeds, of battles foretold

Don’t try to make it seem less

Clever or brave or bold

Remind me of your virility

Of women, of wine, of song

Don’t bother with humility

Tragic tales are often too long

Shout of your numerous possessions

Of which you only want more

These are private confessions

Not added to legend of lore

Adding substance to the world though

Would require much effort, a coup

Forgive the truly low blow

But that seems too much effort for you

The world must seem like an oyster

One that you wish to eat

You feel as though you’ve been cloistered

And lacking of anything sweet

Forgive my troubled verses

I see the ire in your eyes

Little effect have your curses

The truth will outweigh the lies.

Famished

Is there any polite way

To say goodbye?

To ask someone to leave

Not your heart but your head?

I’m quicksilver

Pretty to think about

But deadly poisonous

I wish my own reactions were as quick

I certainly recoil as fast

My compass will always

Point true north

Willing to lead me home

Sooner or later I must plant roots

We may share DNA with vegetables

And be fundamentally similar

But I see myself as more of a carnivore

And lately I feel

Simply famished
