Hellfire and Holy Water

(for Katarina)

she unlocks the fertile door

to your carnal imagination

and

throw away the key,

while taking control of your

now feeble mind.

"she is both hellfire

and

holy water,

and

the distinctive flavour

you taste

depends on how you

invariably treat her."

she is premium chocolate flavoured

glazed with rich caramel.

she beckons your eager eyes

to taste her intoxicating flavours

and

you meekly surrender

to your primal urges.

"she is both hellfire

and

holy water,

and

the exotic flavour

you taste depends

on how you treat her."

her tantalising beauty

pins you against an

impenetrable wall of lustful desires,

while you grapple with your

social morality.

she makes all

the moral wrongs

seem right and

makes all the crooked straight.

"she is both hellfire

and

holy water,

and

the unique flavour

you taste depends

on how you typically treat her."  

Marinated

she took command of my

emotional strongholds

with fiery whispers

and

baby kisses.

her prolonged attention

to romantic explorations

marinated me

to the moral core of my

love bone.

she manoeuvred like

an experienced chef

flavouring

every possible inch

of my excited body

sending bolts

of sensual currents

lighting up all my senses.

I Wanna Know

i wanna know

what makes you

drenched with desire.

i wanna know

what spikes your

need to overindulge

in your deepest

unspoken fantasies.

i wanna know

what makes you

surrender to the mercies of your

persistent persisting

temptations.

i wanna know what

curl your toes?

what electrifies you?

what contorts your spine?

what fuels your

uncontrollable moaning?

what floods you with desires?

i wanna know.

Seduced

i want

to seduce you

to the edge

of your

flaming desires

where

heart- pounding

sensations

steal

your breath away.

Tea Lights and Petals

the door

finally opened...

tea lights

and

rose petals

illuminated

the faint path

that led to an empress

dressed as a temptress.

her aromatic fragrance

engaged my senses

and like an excited moth

to her intense flame

i followed

the petals and enchanting fragrance

all the way

into her waiting arms

and devoured

every bit of her

awaiting temptations.

The Afterglow

precious pearls

of mutual satisfaction

dribbled

and

dripped

from her sensorial places.

her face glowed

with contentedness in

the darkness.

a sudden hush

descended on the once

noise filled the room,

we were experiencing

the afterglow

of an electrifying evening.

Night Kicks

pleasure notes

flowed abundantly

from the tips of her

baby soft lips.

her body wiggled

under the pressure

of overwhelming desires

and delightful sensations

while the sheet

on the once

well-kept bed

crumpled under the heat

and

excitement of restless bodies.

her favourite pillow

became the victim of

inadvertent kicks

and

fell to the ground unnoticed.

Cooling Relief

after prolonged exposure

to the searing heat

of excitement,

we desperately sought

cooling relief

by the only

available window.

our fiery bodies

welcomed the

soft kisses

from the

cooling breeze.

oh,

what a sweet

and welcomed relief.
