Dante Gabriel Rossetti, La Donna Della Fiamma , 1870 |
Hell fire in your left hand
But there is heaven in your right
I never know where I will land
if day or night
Now that I've fallen under your command
You smile and leave your brand
Burning my flesh with your dark mark
but then you kiss my pained wounds and
You light a spark
and what was once forbidden I demand
You curse me when I stand
I'm not forgiven when I fall
Now I live for your reprimand
You are my all
Dark angel, to your flames I'm on remand.

I like the contrast and conflict here, hell and heaven, light and darkness ~
Good work on the form, its seamless and effortless ~
Wow! This is some potent dark magic. I love it. The form is brilliantly rendered and the painting is the perfect accompaniment.
Sigh. You too get caught up in the drama. It's so hard to say no to a Goddess!
I was in a relationship like this once...

It's hard to comment on a poem without sounding like you're performing an autopsy. Some things just need to speak for themselves.
Beautiful as always, though.
Firy, glowing, burning, brandishing emotion and desire. Great poem.
Loved the balancing act in this one. Well done.
