Shades of passion

Sex
Hot, heavy
Kissing, sucking, fucking
“Oh – oh my God!”
Shaking, aching, collapsing
Breathless, tender
Love

Saffron

The taste of her lips
was a light dollop of cream
and a heap of hell.

Conscience

The rings of fire
burned ever higher
in the oh-so quiet cell
of my own private hell,
the burden of a Liar.

Geis

The chains which bind us
are words wrought stronger than steel
and twice as heavy.
