A very neglected piece from his courtship of The Mad Gypsy, this piece combines some gentle reflection with some rather real-world eroticism. It works, but is still rather...odd, in a nice way.
Blossoming Into the Night
and so you feel the warmth upon you.
without.
within.
radiating in incandescent thirst.
cursed and blessed with the hollow feeling.
that there is something.
something for you,
out there, in the pagan greylight.
and so there is.
if you are patient.
and cautious.
and daring enough to seize with both hands
and take into yourself.
all the way.
into corners never touched
except in red red dreams of passion
that fires every nerve and arcs
like lightning as you arch your back
and writhe, impaled,
on a promise of heat.
a victoried defeat
of the questions.
fulfilled in slow, hungry strokes.
of a lover that loves you.
for more than the ride.

Explaining the Tags
You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.
These largely fall into 4 categories:
Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
Genre, e.g. "erotica"
We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
