Tainted Love
Wet with water,
Flesh soft and tender;
Full of strength and passion.
Flashes in her eyes with sudden light…
Gives birth to desire -
I cannot resist.
Suddenly now -
A damsel in distress,
Her face sweet and pleading,
Nobody will help her!
Fiercely I push predators from my path -
I bear the burden of their deeds,
Kneeling before her,
Head bowed,
Tears falling hotly -
Anger filling my body.
Who would dare to hurt such a beautiful creature?
The force of my standing wrath drives all away…
Even she leaves my presence.
My eyes full with a gray mist as I wonder alone through the night.
Days pass by like years, hours wane.
I wait for her return -
Heart anxious,
Toes full of sand,
Full of hope.
She does come to me,
My hands tremble to hush her heart’s wild beating.
Her lips;
Death stealing my soul with every touch.
Upon the twilight hour I wed her.
Upon a hilly alter I sacrificed myself -
My very life to her wholly and freely.
Throughout the night,
Her tender pleadings,
Ponderous tongue.
Wild her eyes,
Pale her features…
.......
I awaken in the bindings;
The bindings of a passions kiss.
Sanity fails me as I reach to tear out my soul.
Bindings,
They press harder and harder,
Tighter and tighter as I seek a noble end.
Drugs begin to flow within my veins,
Within my mind;
Stilling my wrath.
My hand reaches out to find her…
I cannot,
She is gone.
All is dark now;
My heart is being cracked like the red clay is cracked in a desert.
Tears of blood stain my naked heart.
Again I wait,
Holding the words of a creed within my breast.
I await her in the exile of a tainted love…
