She Awaits

Eyes aflame with sapphire grain, my sultry mistress ebon-cloaked
Witches’ queen and lovers’ vice, her hair reminds of raven’s coat
Her crimson lips boast thicker spells, my incense-perfumed spirit tease
In wait for me in amber light, midst pyromantic luxuries
 
Dressed in shadow-melding cloth, her form sylphlike yet hard to draw
Shifty in the flickering light, her flux offending natural law
Her skin is neither pale nor dark; polite to touch as dewy fruit
But never cross her path with spite; beware, my friend, her soul is brute
 
Her beauty shines when sadness looms, her tragedy devours as flame
 Restlessness consumes her bed, a full moon I am glad to blame
She tends to an erotic lair, a curiosa wonderland
Lit by slanted window shades and kissed by oriental fans
 
Flightless fairy, clad in black, her voice divinely resonates
Requesting me to drop my guard and lend my heart out to the fates
She slithers through the velvet sheets, a French composer in the air,
Lending out a finger curled, commanding with a demon stare
 
Labored with nigrescent opals heavy on her neck and wrist,
She opens up her curtained arms to soon begin this sacred tryst
Breath of cloves with hint of mint, a fragrance that soon greets my face
Her lips the color of her heart, her hair the scent of pillow lace
 
Time is not a rigid service, meaningless within her vault
Hours pass, so fleeting, as her tears and sweat reward me salt
Torch-flames tremble to the passion; vaulted roof, two lovers under
Unity of souls ensues, entwining to the song of thunder
 
Then she shows me opiate visions clad with necromantic zeal
I swallow them with wormwood wine; drunk, I question what is real
Her fingertips caress my cheek; strokes me with her dainty claws
She stimulates my weaknesses and enters through my mortal flaws
 
Her pulse resounds within my chest; my mantis lover takes control
I’m weakened to my very knees, unstable like a newborn foal
She leads me down a stairwell where the edge of darkness titillates
I follow her to drunk abysses, faithfully, where she awaits

Your chosen words are what gives this writing the exotic passions! Sounds like he has encountered the "Dragon Lady!
Reviewed by Rafika Anderson 1/5/2008
Rich with intense imagery, this poem excites the imagination and whets the sensual appetite. Beautifully and expertly crafted, it draws the reader in line by line and envelopes and bathes the unsuspecting mind with rhyme, rhythm and a lyrical quality. Very well done poem, by an obviously talented writer dedicated to detail and passionate self-expression.
