Box Of Hearts~

Eros dreamed himself a perfect sheath of moon skin

from night’s shell

a blood diamond box in his hand

between the dew pearls of me and the lavender of satin sheets

he carved himself a place against my thigh

whispering

“open it”

 

Inside

four chocolate hearts

fluid

dusted with coveted images entwined

in sugared glaze

he smiled

“eat them”

 

One

a birth against my mouth

in raspberry cream

Oshun in girl body

pouring tea

her storm colored eyes

tapped into

the covetous gaze

of the inherent

raw male;

in time I learned to use it to my advantage

 

Two

a  stroke of lies

in butter cream

Achtland a subtle pressure

in lime strobes

lines of bodies

undulations

downpour into giving shape

giving fluid

taking moist mind between layers of seduction;

it was instinctive feed for a  cultivated fetish charm like me

 

Three

snake curves

in apricot brandy

Nebt Het winding arms

a temple arch back

into his wine eyes

sinuous solo

in and out

between his thighs

her scales the sound of creation;

I found my allure in the way they worshipped at my hips

 

Four

jeweled lips

white dove in cherry liquor

Peitho with honeysuckle oration

a Bushido gripped in her fist

come into her own

bleeding seduction in ink

heroine on a journey

a girl rescued from herself at her side

men scattered at dainty feet;

I have learned to rock myself, to be my own redeemer, to revere my feral heart

 

~Eros left a note at dawn for the woman curled in a cat’s cradle

a box filled with rubies

on her nightstand

her arrow in his heart~

In each Candy we see a God.............God of love,of beauty, and with the sensual flow I was drooling, in each chocolate a discovery, and this for me says so much....

We all take many journeys in life.........but few write as you do, with a story in a story.

Very sexy!

[alan peter kelly]

cultivated fetish charm...indeed say i to surreal queen...perfumed mausoleum...carcasses piled high and encased in their own imperial caskets...crystaline tears in dusty tear ducts...dried skin taught and tearing with many a hands circumnavigation around a pale faced clock...quite an artistic display...this rubble in every before has an after...this reminds me of The Blue Angel...of the femme fatale for whom all red blooded fools would willingingly throw themselves into the flaming pit of consequence for the experience...this lavish production brings sparkle and clarity to eyes that normally require the assistance of alien lubricants and less spectacular spectacles....

(My Favorite!) Eros... in Greek mythology, was the primordial god of sexual love and beauty. He was also worshipped as a fertility deity
Oshun...is the Santeria goddess of love, art, and dance.
Achtland...Celtic legend, this mortal queen could not be satisfied with human men, so she took a giant as her spouse
Nebt Het...She was known as "The lady of the House" (?) Umm because she was married to a King or Pharoah I believe
Peitho...The Goddess of Persuasion and Seduction!

I can't help but think that you did this purposely!! I wonder if anyone else noticed this (?).. Of course I would because ancient gods and things of that nature fascinate me. I think it's not so much as he Box of Hearts but the Chocolates and what each represents That's what you were maybe trying to emphasise? Hmm one could never know. I absolutely love the way you wove these things together! AMAZING 10 stars!!

I love your ability to take the simplest thing - a box of candy hearts - and how you write of it in the most delicious and delectable way, painting a canvas on the back of the brain that is rife with color, vivacity, richness, and life. All of a sudden that box of candy hearts becomes reality, fantasy, mythology, lore, and so much and so much and so much more.

I honestly find it difficult to pinpoint one thing or another that I like or that which really stands out as unique in your writing. The entirety is always uniquely you and therefore always uniquely wonderful.
