Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Tempt Me

source
Tempt me
You never know
the things I will
do
the places I will
go
if you tempt me
just so

Paint ice hot flames
around our bed
Dare me 
to enter
with a silent stare
and a guilty smile

Play me
slow smoky jazz sounds
with your eyes

Write me poems
with your tongue
down my neck 
to the small of my back
and dot the 'i' s 
with frost covered cherry blossoms

Tempt me
Master all of my senses
Take them from me
I confess 
I am no innocent
Use me

I am your canvas
I am your book
Bind me well
Keep me
tempted.

Sacrifice

Fire-Spirt by filmchild
Let me be your sacrificial lamb
I get off on giving til 
it hurts
Spill my blood upon the altar 
to your gods
I am no virgin
but my heart is pure
I bleed ecstasy
I will redeem your sins
Throw me upon the pyre
I'll save your soul, baby
Watch me burn
white hot.
