Illusions in Shades of Lust

SCII cover approved!!!  The 3rd time was not the charm, but I finally figured out what was wrong with the cover and resubmitted it yesterday.  I ordered the proof today and should have it on Friday.  In the meantime, I will share a poem from the 'Torment' section of :Shadows on the Carpet II".

Illusions in Shades of Lust

Flights of fanciful
Delusional dreams
Of two souls in the
Throes of love - prone on
Opaque blue and gray
Stained tangled sheets of
Invisible lives
Splashing ruby red
Passion onto a
Canvass of ecru
Tinged with broken hearts

Autumn - Besieged, Bewildered and Bewitched

I have been busy so I hadn't had time to post for a while. Today I would like to share a poem about my favorite season - Autumn.

Besieged, Bewildered and Bewitched

I taste woodsy

Smells of autumn

Mixed within his

Sublime essence

Stand in the black

Light of his dance

Consummate lust

Driven tango

Touch the sound of

His breath breeze past

Hot open wounds

Taken hostage

See melodies

In eyes that pierce

Drench us in sweat

Leave me moon struck

Hear fine wine tease

My tongue - caress

Soft curves, valleys

Body and soul

Feel image

Time locked spirit

Love aura orbs

Arrest my heart

English/Czech - Purification/Očištění

The 5th and last ekphrastic poem in the series of poems inspired by the abstract art of Ivan Pavlíček:

Purification

original art by Ivan Pavlíček

Flames engulf

Our hearts in

Blazing bright

Red intense

Crimson shades

Of scarlet

Desire

The fire

Burns and turns

Scar tissue

Into hot

Embers of

Pure love mixed

With passion

Poslední  v sérii ekfrastických básní inspirovaných abstraktní malbou Ivana Pavlíčka:

Očištění

Plameny zachvátí

naše srdce ve zářícím ohni

ostře červené tóny karmínové

a šarlatové touhy

Oheň pálí

a mění naše jizvy

v žhavý uhel uhnětený 
z čisté lásky a vášně
