Thine Austringer

savagely my feelings flare

(aching for thine flesh)

oh wild is her fearlessness!

(my need hungers without rest) 

in dreams i reach

(thou art not there!)

she taunts me like a jezebel

(in the most alluring way!)

 

though oft crushed by cruelties

mine lady love is prone to say

each syllable strikes like a devil’s bell

(but unabashed my desire remains the same!)

 

cold lady....

hidden in thy secret parts

a raptor does thy bidding

slicing mine soul apart

without even losing rhythm!

 

words like talons cut and fillet

excuse me but i do digress...

my tender parts I must address

worn tattered upon mine sleeve

because i still believe ...

 

i mourn her treatment thus

mine shredded heart in disarray

but patiently i await the day

(with anticipated sweet relief!)

 

to calm her as a hooded hawk

until my lady learns to obey

(despite her present disbelief)

 

thus her austringer i shall become

noble falconer full of grace and guile

who all the while (despite how she mocks)

shall tame her cruel proud heart

with a tender love-filled smile

 

sweet jezebel ... screaming out mine name!

thou who manipulates both heart and soul

i offer thee mine body as thine slave

for only then shall i be whole!

 

tethered as one to thine wild wild heart

for when we wed we shall never part

my love is not in vain!

Some parts held me and bit hard "Cold Lady" in particular - but others seemed less sure and lost the rhythm...
