| Deep at night I lie in dread, Cloaked in dreamtime shroud. Fervent visions fill my head, I stir and moan aloud. Burning passion fills my heart With fever's molten flood. I dream of he who quenches smart With tears of precious blood. Senses spinning, reason flawed, My soul begins to blaze, And spawns a mystic darkling lord Who meets my yearning gaze. Shadowform of mystery Merging with the night, Creature of insanity, Dark enemy of light. Liquid stream of desire, Moonmad hunger rise, Reflections of a starlit fire Glinting in dark eyes. He lifts the veil and finds his prey, This hunter of the good. He deifies the death of day, His home is Nightmare Wood. Recognition dawning In confusion's cave, Through the fogs of mourning I see beyond the grave. Though I struggle to resist All sanctuary has fled, And rising in a cloud of mist My spirit leaves the bed. Elements amalgamate In the realm of hell, A pit of flames and pain innate Where nightmare creatures dwell. As Inferno's flaming pyre Illuminates the deed, Two figures dance in timeless fire Immersed in mutual need. Walking along the beach With you, Hand in hand. Naked feet, Washed by surf and sand. Staring into blue eyes, Reflected moonlight Washing through My mind. Lips meeting In first time curiosity, Brine scent, Salt tasting, Passion rising, As tongues merge In midnight madness. Hands caressing, Searching for release From long pent up frustration. Then, prostrate on the sand, Shattered seashells Stimulating the senses, I hear you sigh, "I want you" Feeling your touch upon my skin I resist no longer, And press my needing body Close to yours. I whisper, "Now my darling." "Take me now." Waves washing over bodies Entwined in hot embrace. Ocean sounds Mingling with lover's cries, Surf breaking in crescendo. Nature echoes Human passion As cries of joy Soar like seabirds Into the night sky. Lying together At ebbing tide, Sand and salt Drying on our skins, Contentment fills our souls. For we have made a memory That will endure As long as oceans Kiss our shores. I was laying in bed, Having fun with my peach, When my mobile went off With an ear-splitting screech. I jumped out of bed, Tripped over the cat, And stifled an oath As my nose hit the mat. The cat was upset, At this sudden attack, So dug all her nails In my now-exposed back. Swearing and cursing And tearing my hair, I lurched to my feet And knocked over a chair. I twisted my ankle And fell on my arse, Hitting the table And dislodging a vase. Teetering madly, It hung by a thread, Then with a thud It fell on my head. Dizzy and wet I lay on the floor, I just didn't think I could take any more. But the phone was still ringing So I reached out to get it, But fate had decreed That my hand never met it. The cat had returned To the place where I lay With murderous plans To lay claim to her prey. Eyes full of terror I watched her come near, My body a tableau That was frozen in fear. She eyed up her victim, All naked and bare, Then spitting and hissing She flew through the air. One minute later She made good her retreat, Leaving me bleeding, Exhausted and beat Dragging my feet, Fed up and forlorn, I finally managed To pick up the horn. First there was silence And then heavy breathing. What pervert was this? By now I was seething. At the end of my tether I vented my spleen, My voice full of fury, My words quite obscene. Imagine my horror When instead of a man I found myself talking To my asthmatic nan. | |
