Bathed in oatmeal and honey
her sweet silken skin
floats across his
like petals
teasingly
gliding just above
a field of tall grass
but never quite settling
into it.
He gently sways with
her movements
graceful
seductive
energies exchanged
without contact
heat rising as the
summer breeze
carries it through them.
Soul to Soul.
Castle of Despair

Fragrant jasmine
covered the outer walls
masking the coldness of the weathered,
symmetrically placed stones
From the outside,
one might romanticize
life inside
Endless corridors,
behind locked doors
her heart is weak, skin chilled,
and dried blood encrusts her nail bed
where she tirelessly
tore away at walls
that closed her in
Roaming endlessly
cold sleepless nights
chasing shadows that danced pirouettes
around her mockingly
without a care
loneliness befriends her
in this Castle of Despair
