LOVE’S PYRE

You relished such a delight, to take me in your love so high.
Then cleave me down, looking on with Loki's smile.
You savoring with a malicious sigh.
Far away in his arms, believing me a victim of your guile.

You turning away, thinking me dead on your love's funeral pyre.
As an ancient Norse warrior, on his way to great Odin.
Relishing the flames, rising high from my body and soul on fire.

Little knowing I'd rise, refusing to join my ancient kin.
Now reincarnated, I breathe with Thor's passion.
Hear my heart, like his hammer, its roar in the din.
My magic, mere Valkerie, unveiled in its fashion.

Pelirroja y Morena (Red & Black)

Romeo, anguished soul, Juliet so tragically mistaken
Eve, serpentine temptation, humanities sensuality thus born
Delilah, lover’s betrayal, Samson’s strength forsaken

Bragi, rune tongued, from his mead amorous poetic rendering
Lancelot, chivalric knight, centuries ole rituals of courtship
Aphrodite, love’s goddess, our passions in her hands so meddling
Cleopatra, Nile queen, your wiles one man’s driving whip
Knave d’Artagnan, cunning Milady, laugh at the joust never ending

• Written: Fall 2003 by Brian R Dillon (To passion's game through time)

TRIED 2 SET ME UP
Not Yet, Not Ready, Not Interested, Silly wench U forgot 2 B Nice!
They're up for it, They're Ready, They're Interested, I forgot 2 mention the query from the good people in Vice!

Such a fine line, between reality and illusion.
No reason to cover 4 you, seemed a contrived intrusion.
Their probe the icing on the cake, figured you out in the confusion.

Thought yourself a Princess sitting on your Throne!
Reality Check Shrew, perchance soon U'll B sitting all Alone!
