♥♥♥
Fire seers the world around me
Yet my frozen heart denies the flames
And every fiber of being inside me
Yearns to feel the heat, the fervor
In which desire and passion claims
I once joined in the fiery dance of love
Before withdrawing behind sheets of ice
Those were the days when I was young
Before my heart had known anguish
The days when warming flames felt nice
My heart was broken more than once
And I resurrected a castle for myself
One with fireproof walls that I believed
Would keep me from yearning, burning
All my desire sitting upon an icy shelf
Now I stand upon the frosted battlements
I watch the forces of love and lust below
As the battle rages back and forth
Neither side winning or losing much
Fighting over the same old ground, to and fro
As emotionless as I may seem to some
I must say I fear no more inequities
Trespassing upon my iced- up porch
Quiet contentment satisfies me
Detached from all the passionate extremes
And yet now and then I wonder
Was my solitude worth the price?
The long vigil has kept me safe
No warmth has pierced my isolation
But pain, there is aplenty
So maybe someday, perhaps
I will venture to feel what I have missed
But for now I will reserve my strength
Until once again I am strong enough
To feel weakness from one single kiss

Hi.
I have two poems and an erotic short story, but don’t know how to show them or link them to your page or blog.
If you can advice I’d be grateful. Thank you. I have a personal page, and have them in the notes section there,
I just shared them with my friend Mike. I think you know him too. Mike Makai Anyway, he can tell me if they’re any good.
Thanks
Anna.
